[ it can be sunday forever.

She looks from Kashuu to the potions. ]

Why are you being so cautious? Which guy?

[ There are so many that will drink something. ]

[slashay]

[it is sunday forever in my heart]

I don't like this place. [SIMPLY. His nose wrinkles a little, but he'll scoot in a little closer, even if he's warily eying just about everything in here...] --And the guy who totally barfed 'cuz he already drank some of the stuff in here! Garou, I think?

[disingenuous]

.... Really?

[ That surprises Roxana a bit. It's not Garou drinking that surprises her. ]

I took some of the chemicals when we first arrived and poured it over some plants. thee plants were fine after. Is he less hardy than the plants here?

[slashay]

[ROXANA DON'T JUST POISON THE PLANTS.]

Huh... I mean, he seems hardy, for sure! But what if he eats something that pops outta his chest like an alien?

[disingenuous]

[ THE PLANTS WERE FINE. UNPOISONED. MODS SAID SO.

... ]

Why is that the first thing that comes to your mind? Where did that come from?

[slashay]

I heard about it!

[From a recollection of a distant, lost movie from the far off past...!]

You totally can't trust the stuff you find in labs. Every sci-fi horror movie starts off with that, y'know?

[disingenuous]

Sci-fi horror movie....

[ She repeats it slowly, like it's a foreign word.

So.... maybe no, she don't know. ]

[slashay]

[Good thing he, a time traveling sword, is well-equipped for these scenarios.]

Oh - uh. Well! It's a movie, like, a play? But sci-fi. Science fiction! So, fiction that deals with usually futuristic science-y stuff like clones and aliens and robots.

[disingenuous]

... I see. And things burst out of chests in these... movies?

[ Hm. It's not the prettiest imagery, but she knows it's something her family would like to replicate. ]

Just because you drink something?

[slashay]

[MA'AM your FAMILY.]

Yeah! ...Or other things happen? Honestly, it's not my favorite genre... [He says, like they even have TVs in the citadel and he hasn't just read summaries of movies.]

--Anyway, putting sci-fi stuff aside, labs are usually used for testing dangerous stuff. Just 'cuz it didn't hurt a plant, that doesn't mean it won't hurt a human. Biology or something.

[disingenuous]

[ She looks faintly amused. ]

You care.

[slashay]

[DON'T CALL HIM OUT SO BLUNTLY. He just huffs about it, setting his hands on his hips...]

Well—! It's my job, y'know? A sword's duty is to protect. I don't want any of you guys getting hurt on my watch.

[Famous last words in a murdergame.]

[disingenuous]

[ She laughs softly. The way he blusters is kind of sweet. ]

You do share that with each other, don't you. [ With the other swords, she means. ] I hope you don't have to worry too much about that.

[ But her trust is low, and this is a murdergame. ]

[slashay]

I've had to wrangle people who're way more of a pain in the ass than half of the guys here, at least.

[His own team was a handful... In any case, things seem more or less okay for now among these particular masses, which he's grateful for.]

But, yeah! Any sword's gonna wanna protect people, I think. Even the suuuper prickly, super antisocial ones who're like- [CLEARS HIS THROAT and then clearly does an impression of someone:] I'm not here to make friends.

[disingenuous]

Are you a leader of a team of swords, too?

[ Or is it more like babysitter status, to go with accommodating elder swords or whatnot.

She can't help but smile at his impression. ]

It sounds like your friend and Estinien would get along.

[slashay]

I was captain of the first unit for a while. [Said with a little note of pride! It's a pretty big position, after all.] But aruji switches captains and team members out all the time... I've been dispatched on a solo mission for a while now, anyway.

[No one to captain... He is the lone sword in a sea of backup dancers.]

--Oh, you're totally right! That guy's so cut and dried no-nonsense... Real prickly!

[disingenuous]

[ She doesn't know what an aruji is, but she can make a guess. ]

You must be trusted to be assigned on a solo mission.

[ Kashuu, are you lonely.... ]

He was about to defenestrate himself rather than talk to people in the mansion.

[slashay]

[Kashuu is always lonely, that's his secret.]

Yep! I'm one of the oldest members of our citadel, so it's kinda up to me to take on these sorts of tasks.

[He's proud and he sounds it, but truly, being on solo missions while the plot moves on without you is A Lot... But anyway time to immediately look amused about that prickly lad.]

God, right? Talking to him was like pulling teeth! He got a little better when we were talking about his fighting style, though.

[disingenuous]

You have seniority.

[ Kashuu.... come back to the plot....

All she can tell from the profiles is that swords are Old. ]

He's a soldier type to the core. I'm not surprised.

[slashay]

[I, AKI, WISH HE WOULD.]

Something like that! There were swords there before me and a ton are way older, but, y'know...

[He does indeed have some seniority, somehow. Good work, Kashuu, you lil first unit captain you.]

But yeah, that describes him pretty well, huh? I guess there are gonna be types like that no matter where you go.

[disingenuous]

Wouldn't you come across many of them?

[ Being a sword. ]

[slashay]

We do run into a lot, yep. But there are as many types of people who pick up swords as there are who do anything else, y'know?

[Some captains to the core, some dudes who just wanna eat sweets and mow hay...]

[disingenuous]

Anyone who needs to protect themselves or someone else. Or...

[ Well, she can think of many other types, but she thought swords with their ages would be picked up by those who'd try to keep their weapons in better shape. ]

[slashay]

[laughtrack]

There's a lot of that too, for sure! Then there are some people just like collecting swords, others that use us as status symbols, or value us for historical value, or like the art of the craftsmanship...

[Just counting off on his fingers as he goes.]

[disingenuous]

[ Roxana doesn't know shit about Touken Ranbu. She's learning a lot today. ]

I understand. You don't need to go on.

[ In some ways, she isn't so different from a sword, she thinks. In other ways, she knows just how different she is. ]

Is it better for you to have a human body?
