Oh, you mean like Wasabi?

[ Yuji pouts, just a little bit. ]

He doesn't drop things, but he pecks me a lot...

[gimu]

Their carrying weight is considerable for something so tiny.

[ a pause, like he’s trying to hold out back but can’t quite help it]

Does Wasabi need… fixing?

[picky]

When you say "fixing"... What exactly do you mean?

[eyescar]

Brother... It's okay...

[ Pats Choso's arm gently... Please don't kill his drone... ]

1/2

[gimu]

What do you think I mean?

[gimu]

[ yuji’s pat is like a strange diffuser, a chemical dampening of Whatever That Was oozing up there.

choso sighs, a little dolefully. ]

Yes, yes.

[picky]

[



she's not answering that ]

L-Let's get going, huh?

[ TURNING AND WALKING! even if she doesn't know where she's going once they reach the exit! ]

Maybe you can take the bird to someone who can f-... Um, repair it for you? "Wasabi," right?

[eyescar]

It's just me he doesn't like, so it's not that big a deal. He still carries things for me, he just... Pecks me at the same time.

[ Let's go! Yuji is taking charge on this expedition, let's go see some cats! ]

[gimu]

I don’t want to break Wasabi. Just take a look.

[ with his blood ]

[eyescar]

Later, okay... Later.

[ Relax, darling brother... ]

[picky]

[ Cat time...! ]

It's your bird, but he doesn't like you? Did something happen?

[eyescar]

He came to me that way. Maybe LILITH was punishing me or something.

[ Wasabi is a grumpy boy. ]

[gimu]

Nefarious. It crashes into his head when it isn’t busy on an errand. [ has… has he been giving wasabi little errands to keep it busy? no, no, that would be meddling, surely.

but mayhaps… ? ]

[picky]

Maybe it'd be better to give it back to LILITH?

[ yuji your brain damage ]

[eyescar]

Nah, it's fine. He does his errands and likes the other birds, so it's cool. Megumi even made him a house. He can peck me as much as he likes.

[ This is the least of his worries when it comes to brain damage. ]

[picky]

[ A birdhouse... Cute. ]

Who's Megumi?

[gimu]

Don’t encourage Wasabi’s bad behaviors. What if it’s simply myopic?

[picky]

[ STAYS QUIET ]

[eyescar]

Choso... Now isn't really the time...

[ Nudge, come on... Let's go... ]

[gimu]

[ no response but to HUFF, not unlike a very large, very put-out husky. wasabi, you get off the hook this time… ]

[picky]

[ The whiplash from Choso's bloodlust to his gap moe... Someone could break their neck.

Marcille is in the middle of this, trying to gauge whether or not she should be with Choso without Yuji around. She should be careful with what she says. ]

Your best friend is here too? [ She looks worried. ] There are so many people you know that were taken here.

[eyescar]

There's Megumi, Kugisaki, Gojo-sensei, Nanamin, and Fushiguro-san, but he sucks, so you can ignore him.

[ Fuck that guy.

Yuji just smiles brightly at her, taking Choso's hand to tug him along. ]

I've been super lucky.

[gimu]

[ choso, for all his looming and ominous statements, seems to have no idea of what sort of impression he paints for the world with— with all That. All of That. ignorance truly is bliss; utterly oblivious of the roller coaster ride marcille has found herself on, choso lets himself be led onward by the sure pull of yuji’s weird clawed hand, his attention already shifted ahead. ]

Megumi and Kugisaki are good in each their own ways. You will meet them soon enough.

[picky]

Oh... Okay. [ Choso deadass just decided that Marcille is going to meet these people. She's not gonna argue with that.

Marcille, who's tactile and affectionate herself, doesn't see anything odd about the handholding—not in the same way other people might. She usually had a hand or an arm around Falin's when they weren't in danger. ]

Who's Fushigurosan?

[ There aren't any honorifics where she comes from. That's his name now. ]

[eyescar]

My best friend!

[ Sorry Choso........... ]
