if Dee-san suggests that Rang-san should be on a team, but Dee-san is someone that Matsu wants for a team, then ultimately isn't the answer just to get all of these people on the same team? you know, point A to B to - haha, D?
wait, was he missing a letter.
regardless Buzen is now bringing along a Matsui who he's so far being told none of this over to the blimp which is apparently their decided meeting spot, and now waiting for D and Rang to arrive before their blimp takes off for the flight
anyway rang has been pretty loosey goosey with teams so far, as evidenced by the way he's apparently fine with just grabbing whoever's left over and inflicting his vile presence on them henceforth -- but that doesn't mean he won't say yes if someone asks? especially since it's d, who saw rang be a massive weirdo out in the mcdonalds with the reapers today. d knows what kind of person rang is, so he clearly knows what he's in for right?
apparently rang didn't ask anything about their other teammates before he eventually shows up here, d in tow.]
Oh, it's you guys.
[THE HILARITY OF RANG NOT SUSPECTING THAT MATSUI AND BUZEN ARE THE OTHER TEAMMATES, HE LITERALLY JUST THINKS HE IS THERE TO TALK WITH D AND MATSUI AND BUZEN ARE RANDOMLY HERE TOO?]
[This is so funny. D did not mention to Rang why they were going to get on a blimp, only that he was about to partake in a joyride and wouldn't mind company. Since the funky little goat-tiger is missing for the moment.
Once they are on, he offers a cheerful wave of greeting to Buzen and Matsui from beside Rang. The two of them are truly showing up like (rand voice) someone will die (d voice) of fun!]
Hello, Mr. Buzen, Mr. Matsui. I asked Mr. Rang if he would like to join us. I hope that is alright.
[Surprise to Rang, D has tricked him into potentially having teammates.]
[HELLO... He's okay with two of the three other people here, and he will politely nod toward D and Rang. He's also interpreting this as "I asked Mr. Rang if he would like to join us here on this blimp" because what else would it be?? HE'S BEEN TOLD NOTHING ABOUT TEAM CONSTRUCTION! WHAT DOES HE KNOW!!!
Anyway Buzen's here which means Matsui doesn't have to be too sociable, so he just stands by Buzen and glances up at the blimp.]
Oh yeah! Thanks Dee-san! We can talk about all the details and stuff later, let's not miss our ride. I went up with Lia-san earlier [and for his antisocial matsu in particular:] it's a good view, Matsu! Let's go, let's go!
[and this is how buzen dashes onto the blimp expecting everyone else to follow
[(rang and matsui voice) i would rather have t-chan as the third teammate
unfortunately Rang isn't more stupid than he already is, and he doesn't have the added benefit of fantasizing about sailing the great blue sky with buzen, so he puts the two (d) and two (buzen) together fairly quickly, just in time to twist around and shoot D a look full of DAGGERS and TAILFACE
BETRAYED... BY A HUMAN(?)]
I knew this was a trap.
[he's just being dramatic he didn't know. anyway he'll get on the blimp if d prods him forward ig]
Rang turns around to shoot him with daggers and tailface, and all D does is smile very charmingly at him! Hehe. The fact Rang may think his stupid, unnaturally pretty, human-disliking ass is human... very funny.
He presses both hands to Rang's back and gently coaxes him toward the blimp. No escaping, you wily thing. Get on, get on. Buzen HAS ALREADY LEFT THEM.]
Don't be dramatic. It's just a professional conversation. Surely you can handle that, Mr. Rang. If we reach an agreement, we can celebrate with tea and lemon pound cake. [HE SOUNDS SO DELIGHTED ABOUT THIS.] I purchased some from Miss Aika.
[WELL MATSUI'S NOT NOT GOING TO NOTICE THIS INCREDIBLY WEIRD DISCUSSION even if he is thinking about the wonders of flying through the sky with Buzen--
But also
would Buzen betray him so greatly like this (fucking yes) (he knows this and yet).
Anyway he'd followed along after Buzen because of course he did so now he's TRAPPED. CAN'T EVEN ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW!! He gives Rang a look first and while it's outwardly very similar to most of the other linefacing he does, Buzen will probably recognize it as the kind of irritated look that he reserves for when he's thinking about hitting Kuwana with a shovel.
Shen-san was still on the fence about teams when I talked to her, and you wanted a team with Dee-san, but Dee-san comes with Rang-san! So I thought we should at least talk about it, but it sounds like an okay arrangement to me.
[whabam that wasn't succinct but he thought that it was good. he's just gonna chill out on the blimp, already positioned by the window so he can watch them take off.
and then glancing over at dee and rang - ]
I know I'm not really the type of person you like, Rang-san, but if you'd accept a team with us, I think it'd still be pretty good. Being around spirits and those familiar with spirits makes things easier, I think...
[he turns to matsui and smiles like he thinks that he's done something soooo good like SOOOO good, come on matsu tell him he did good :) ]
[hate that rang would also be mollified by tea and cake. HE'S JUST A BIG BABY!!!!! there's a brief moment of WHO IS AIKA? A GHOST PERSON AT IKEA??? but now he's being marched onto the blimp and loses the chance to say anything.
he very pointedly takes a seat that's separate from all of them. `Dee-san comes with Rang-san`........ he hasn't been a set with anyone in AGES (he's a set with yuri) in AGES and especially not this traitor who somehow bought cake. anyway he just flops into his blimp chair as Buzen speaks, expression grim. It turns darker at the mention of Shen-san, because ISN'T THIS RANG JUST BEING SECOND CHOICE? he'd rather be someone's first choice or their most hated option, nothing in between.
Though, as Buzen asks Matsui, two things go through Rang's mind. 1.) MATSUI CLEARLY DID NOT KNOW OF THIS ARRANGEMENT EITHER and 2.) BUZEN SAID HE'D MAKE THE TEAM FOR MATSUI, HE SAID HE'D FILL IT WITH PEOPLE MATSUI LIKES
AND YET RANG IS HERE???
this is actually extremely funny and maybe the main reason why rang accepts team bdsm,]
Well, if none of us are humans, then that might just be enough to convince me.
[he didn't know for sure d wasn't human but he knows now so he's gonna pretend he always knew. anyway he doesn't say anything else he's just looking at Matsui because he knows the team hinges on Matsui's approval and yet HE IS HERE ANYWAY!!!!!!]
[Matsui and Rang are really going through it here.
He follows Rang and Matsui, and he takes a seat by Rang because it's funny. He doesn't sit, like, right on top of Rang necessarily, but he sits in Rang's general vicinity since they CAME TOGETHER. A pair... (He dragged Rang here against Rang's will.)
He also does not confirm whether or not he is human.]
After today, [to Matsui] I'm aware of how Mr. Rang may have ruffled some feathers, but that is simply his nature; he can't help it. [Talking as if Rang is not even sitting beside him.] Also, we have been given particular abilities here, and there are a handful of people with "Healing Aura" on their profiles, Mr. Rang included.
If you did wish to form a solid team, I think it would be beneficial for us to have someone who can assist us medically. We protect Mr. Rang, and he will protect us. And, as I've said to Mr. Wolfwood: forming a team of people who all have the same agreements and desires and goals can potentially end in failure. Advantage and disadvantages can be missed without a little opposition or disagreement in working together.
[A PAIR... HE ONLY LIKES HALF OF THIS PAIR!!!! But he can never fault Buzen so he'll just be irritated with Rang (Rang literally had the least to do with this) IRRITATED AT RANG--
In any case, he'll listen to Buzen and then RANG!!! and then D in succession. Why does Buzen look like he did something right here HE DID THE OPPOSITE OF SOMETHING RIGHT!!!!! WHY DOES D HAVE ALL OF THESE REASONS?? WHY IS RANG SUCH A LITTLE ASSHOLE.
Frankly he has a lot to say on this matter, like the fact that he doesn't give a shit about Rang's murderous intent and cares more about how he doesn't like BUZEN!! Or how Buzen says if you'd accept a team with us as if Rang's not the unworthy raccoon scrublord being blessed with Buzen's presence?? HELLO. ANNOYING. Anyone would be lucky to be relying on Buzen in a life or death situation or any situation at all and Rang has the AUDACITY??? D's out here making all these sound points and Matsui truly does not care because in the end it all boils down to Buzen.
But unfortunately, Buzen seems to want this arrangement. SO. Instead of going on his entire diatribe, he glances from D and Rang back to Buzen.]
...If this is what you would like, then I have no disagreements.
[honestly, buzen's eq is picking up that something isn't quite clicking here - matsui doesn't seem ecstatic but he guesses that's fair enough, maybe. he probably has a reason he just hasn't shared with buzen. happens all the time. so he'll just reach up to pat matsui's head!]
Then I think that settles it, right?
[glancing back over to D and Rang as they just keep floating higher and higher into the air,]
Pleased to be working with you both! We're in your care. [SPEAKS FOR MATSOOEY TOO] Let's do our best to get through this thing, yeah?
Don't talk about me like I'm not here. [ALSO STOP STOPP DON'T SIT BY HIM GO AWAY KAGOME!!!!!
Rang watches all this happen and there's also like so much to process here, less than what Matsui's trying to process but it's still a lot? Like the fact that D actually made a lot of good points that apparently don't mean anything because Matsui has already accepted the team based on Buzen's suggestion, and Buzen has accepted the team because he thinks Matsui likes it. He thinks D could literally have said "rang is such a creature and actually sucks, but since he's on this blimp he should probably be on our team" and matsui and buzen would have said okay anyway.
He's getting a headache. He's here to be the healer but what he's really gonna have to do is support his own mental health. At least, not everyone is happy.... Rang doesn't have great EQ but he has a sixth sense for misery because he is into schadenfreude, as it warms his soft furry heart. He's not aware of how much Matsui wants to shovel him in private though.]
You all wanted this, so you better not complain later.
[matsui didn't want this -- well he lost his chance to speak up so he's assigned loving it (mcdonald's voice).]
There had to be some intelligent merit offered; he couldn't just go into this acting like he knew Matsui hinged everything on whatever Buzen wants... He glances at Rang, then at Matsui and Buzen. Like Kagome, he ignores Rang's grumbling.
He smiles cheerfully again and claps his hands together.] See how easy that was? Thank you, Mr. Matsui for humoring us. Now we only have to work together, as Mr. Buzen said. Right... Mr. Rang? [Smiles at him. :) Less politely.]
When our ride is over, we can go somewhere nice and enjoy the tea and cake.
[Rang raises a good point, though. He holds his chin, thoughtful. He looks at each one of them in turn... Hmm.]
We'll make a good team, yes? Which will make us... the best team. It not too conceited to say that, right?
[To D and D only. THE WAY THAT HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR TEAM NAME SO HE'S JUST DISSOCIATING FROM THIS CONVERSATION Buzen can speak on his behalf it's fine. Truly he's just looking out through the blimp window at the sky. Gootbye...]
[mATSUI'S NOT HAPPY NOOOO MATSUIIIII buzen just automatically moves to lean against him, and also throw his arm around his shoulders. there there, you sulky lil vampire.
meanwhile, buzen pulls out his phone with his free hand! not only is he typing one handed, but he also has a history with autocorrect. feel free to let him keep doing this. he's fast,]
Oh, I like that Dee-san! Best Team! Let's do it! Let's see if we're first!!
[which is how buzen writes
BEST Team
without realizing that at some point, between missed letters and autocorrect, it becomes:
[Rang makes a :/ expression at D when he LOOKS at him LESS POLITELY, but he doesn't bodily jump out the window to an early death, so maybe Rang is fine with... Cooperating.
He was the one who brought up the team name but he doesn't have any strong feelings about it, so sure... BEST TEAM IT IS!!! (it won't be)]
[Still questioning Yaywon's tag about Rang watching the swords.
D is looking from Matsui to Rang, brows furrowing. He glances briefly at Buzen who had put in their name, then looks back at Rang.......... Then just leans right over (he has to lean kind of far since he didn't sit close, so it's rather dramatic) in order to look at Rang's screen to see what the heck is going on.
Rang and D are about to learn true horror together in five seconds.]
[Matsui leans his head against Buzen in return like a little mirror so sorry Rang but they will continue to be gay in front of your extremely ominous salad.
He isn't looking at the profiles yet but that's fine because Libby is letting him know the errors of their ways in realtime. He's quiet for a second after reading this latest text...]
