Your missions. [ nani the fuck is a mission. ]

So… keeping a sword locked behind glasses potentially for the rest of days is character building?

[ interesting. you do you, swords. but interesting. ]

Oh. So you and Matsui are considered higher… quality? Prestige? Because of who made you.

[nodding! his missions. also nodding along with the character building. it's fucked up but it's true.

though at the mention of the two of them, he laughs.]

Oh yeah, Matsu for sure. He's got this really pretty scabbard - all red. It's why he can be particular about his appearance, even if the rest of him is a little funny.

[ me peeling back the layers of tkrb’s surface and going “wow! it’s messed up!” while the veterans just stare at me with dead eyes like “Welcome”. ]

…

Like the whole “no, I was just lying there waiting for the earth to claim me” thing?

[ :/ ]

[ :) so messed up, what a good time]

I think he's doing better. He's up and walking around now.

He just does that, then.

Mm!

[nodding along]

Please continue to get along with him - he's really kind.

[ aki just assigned shu as being from the 1930s, so that’s how that’s going. ]

Not speaking from a place of bias there, or anything.

[fondly,]

It might be a little hard to believe, but I'm not.

I've got comrades that I'd still say are good, but I wouldn't say they're kind. They can be strict or unyielding.

Matsu... he really is soft. He thinks more thoughtfully and cares more than anybody else.

Those sorts of people are usually very good at getting themselves hurt.

Mm, it's true. He'll let people hurt him.

[sadly, but he runs a hand through his hair and puts on a smile]

Well, it's not really your responsibility or anything - but if you could at least have patience for him. That's all I can ask.

[ shu just quietly gets a headache thinking of kaveh and matsui in the same room. ]

I don’t have any reason not to. He’s been fine to talk to.

Mm, good, good.

[he's pleased]

Did you not come here knowing anyone then...?

No, it’s just me.

[ honestly? thank god. scarecrow would cry and shu would get a stress hernia ] But there are a lot of you that have people you know here. Wonder how much of that is coincidence.

[their little nakama....

he hums thoughtfully at that]

It's possible that Matsu and I got sent out on a mission together... But I do wonder for everybody else.
