Not quite in this way... We've been around people before, but sparingly - so when we got into villages and towns, it's easier to blend in. This is the first time I've gotten to interact with this many humans and be honest about... well, what I am.

[it's a little refreshing? he can't say he dislikes it. buzen is capable of lying, strangely, but he does prefer to be honest]

And normally I'd say yes - but that's not the case here... though if someone got close enough to tap my handle, I guess that'd make us really good friends, you know?

[roseoftexas]

[ well that last part gets an amused huff out of him. ]

Noted.

You picked a good place to reveal your identity. After the nearly six foot tall frog, no one’s going to blink at the guy carrying his physical sword body on his hip.

[hasteful]

Yeah.

[just. honestly speaking,]

That's what I thought too.

Kinda lucked out, you know?

[roseoftexas]

[ thank you gerard, for leading the way with “things that make you go ‘hmm’” ]

That’s one way of putting it. A lot of people would’ve kept it quiet though.

[hasteful]

[he hums thoughtfully]

I considered it for a bit but... a couple misunderstandings were already starting to crop up because of the profiles.

So I thought - might as well be honest. A lie or trying to keep it a secret would've been way harder and... honestly, wouldn't have felt right.

[roseoftexas]

… Right. Buzen Gou, and Buzen Gou.

[ hang on, he’s getting his phone out again. ]

You could’ve just said you didn’t want to answer. That’s not a li—[ ah.

he blinks. ]

Oh. Matsui Gou, and Matsui Gou.

[hasteful]

Haha, it'd be a lie 'cause I don't mind answering, right? At least for me.

[he's just a simple guy.... he's so open-hearted and stupid. but also he laughs a little bit, pleased]

Yeah, you got it! Matsu's like me - be nice to him, yeah? He's a dear comrade.

[roseoftexas]

That sounds like overcomplicating a situation.

[ sweet gous. well. simple and sweet gou and (gestures at matsui) gou. ]

He’s confused because his hands ooze water.

[ there is no fucking context given for this. matsui is just perplexed by his hydro handsies. it’s been two days and aki is aki-ing, dana. ]

[hasteful]

[sounds like aki

but buzen laughs at that]

I mean yeah - that's not normal for swords. There's some things that my, uhhh new power...? Lets me do that I'm used to. But others that are super new!

[roseoftexas]

It’s not normal for humans either. Not the extent he was producing water.

[ he looks like he’s Thinking for a moment. ]

Yours was…. Drift Aura? [ hang on he’s getting out his phone to check. ]

[hasteful]

That's the one! It's fast. I like it.

[simpleton,]

[roseoftexas]

Oh. So it’s a speed thing, then.

[ drift…. like drifting? hm. ]

Out of all of them, that one was one of the more obscure names.

[hasteful]

Haha, it's like drifting as in racing, I think? That's one of the few things I do know about.

[roseoftexas]

Oh like those movies that are all car stunts and talking about family?

[hasteful]

[immediately interested]

I dunno what a movie is, but I like the sound of that.

[roseoftexas]

[ dear mods, please can we have the fast and the furious series if we get a cinema. ]

I’ve never seen one fully. They’re all numbered with the same title — Fast and the Furious, I think?

[hasteful]

Oh... I'm fast but I'm not furious.

[no one asked]

[roseoftexas]

You’re not a car, either.

[hasteful]

[ !! ]

But if I could choose to be anything besides a sword...

[hasteful]

Ah, no, I'd want to be a motorcycle.

[STOP]

[roseoftexas]

Not even one of those fancy cars with the big screens and the doors that open upwards, not outwards?

[hasteful]

[he looks thoughtful at that]

... I think a motorcycle can maneuver easier, weave around faster. [buzen would be such a menace on the streets] That's the kind of thing I want to do.

Going out on long, fast travels with nothing but me and the open road... That's my favorite kind of view.

[don't think this deeply about your motorcycle gijinka au]

[roseoftexas]

[ let him live laugh love through his motorcycle gijinka au life. ]

… It’d be easier to make a break for it that way, true.

[ and then there’s shu. ]

You’d have less storage space too, so you’d be forced to pack light. Which isn’t a bad thing.

[hasteful]

Yeah!

Haha, it's probably a weird question to ask you in return, Shu-san. [what object would you choose to be??] So I guess I'll ask instead - what's your favorite kind of view?

[roseoftexas]

[ one that doesn’t have to listen to this many optimists in one place, thanks. ]

… Hmm.

[ … ]

City skyline at night’s pretty good. Go up high enough and you can see all the lights against the night sky. Considering it’s completely manmade, it’s not bad to look at.
