2/2

sasukeeeee

SASUKE

[eyeforaneye]

[ The caps might be more effective if this were also text-to-talk but as it is it's just as easy to ignore as the first notification was. Especially when he's checking his step-tracker.

Only five thousand more to complete today's goal. ]

[liquidate]

(dejectedly lying face down on his bed.)

[eyeforaneye]

[ It's a full forty-five minutes before Sasuke's exiting his own room in search of broader stepping pastures, something that leads to him stopping first by Suigetsu's room. He doesn't knock before opening the door and poking his head inside.

... this is sad. ]

Go exercise. [ AND HE'S OFF AGAIN, already checking his communicator. ]

1/2

[liquidate]

(doesn't move when sasuke comes in.

doesn't move when sasuke tells him to exercise.

doesn't move when sasuke leaves.)

2/2

[liquidate]

(rolls off of the bed and lands on all fours as the door shuts, scrabbling out into the hall after him.)

I was walking around Bajikan all day long, where were you?!

[eyeforaneye]

[ There's a half-second pause in Sasuke's gait but no more, continuing to walk forward after what he'd call a generous acknowledgement. ]

Should I have been there?

[liquidate]

Well, yeah, Sasuke. It's the planet we've landed on.

(matching sasuke's stride, shoving his hands into his pockets.)

The districts there with a lot of crazy stuff in them and there's islands outside of the main heptagon. The people I've talked to there are pretty much all from the ship, but there are so many I've managed to avoid... (stops talking for a millisecond, then starts up again.) Didn't you get your seven tokens?

1/3

[eyeforaneye]

I'm aware of the situation; you're misunderstanding my point. I'm asking if there's a specific reason that I should have--

2/3

[eyeforaneye]

[ But wait. ]

3/3

[eyeforaneye]

... seven?

[ Accepting Suigetsu at his side is the result of resignation due to familiarity; any attempts to get rid of him are definitely not worth the effort. Besides, at least now he can track his heart rate without the constant ding of messages. ]

[liquidate]

...

(pulling his tokens out of his pocket. six of the standard tokens, with the addition of a pretty red one.)

These ones?

1/3

[eyeforaneye]

[ Finally, Sasuke stops. And reaches into his own pocket. And withdraws all the same tokens... minus the red one. ]

2/3

[eyeforaneye]

[ He looks at Suigetsu's. He looks at his own. ]

3/3

[eyeforaneye]

...

Is this some kind of test? [ w h y ]

[liquidate]

(stares.)

You're missing a red one. Did I pass?

[eyeforaneye]

[ He pockets the tokens again, almost rebelliously. ]

In one way or another. What area does it gain you access to?

[liquidate]

Luxuria. (wrinkles his nose.)

Not much of a loss if you ask me, Sasuke. It's this weird sex district and the air makes you feel real weird, I couldn't even enjoy one piece of cheesecake without getting interrupted.

So I left.

(and that's why suigetsu's still a virgin.)

[eyeforaneye]

... [ His hand redirects itself to his hip, a particularly judgmental position when he only has the one to spare and still chooses to make a statement with it. ]

How much cheesecake did you eat? [ And that's why Sasuke's still a virgin. ]

[liquidate]

You should totally check out Ira, though, it's the best spot to find a fight.

(yes he is pretending he didn't hear that.)

Not a good fight, mind you, but there's lots of different weapons for sale too.

[eyeforaneye]

[ His mouth opens to form the usual "not interested" but he catches himself. He is interested. Fuck. ]

Stop. [ nice save ]

If it's a chance to get some weapons and see what people here can do, I'll find it. It seems like it isn't a loss that I'm without a red token, but why would they bother giving it to just one of us?

[liquidate]

There's way better things to say "stop" to and you choose that one. You don't wanna know about the weapons?

(a sigh, folding his arms as they walk.

before pausing and making two bold assumptions.) I dunno, though. We could always ask Reaper if he got a red one, before getting something to eat in Gula. Isn't his room right here? (one, the assumption that reaper would ever help them on purpose and two, the assumption that they're going to get a snack together.

he's an optimistic soul.)

Whaddaya think?

[eyeforaneye]

I can say "stop" to a lot of things, particularly when I still have Kusanagi. [ Not something he intends to rub in, really, but a mere statement of fact. But... more weapons would be welcome. ]

If you think that that guy is a reliable source of information, go ahead. It'll at least give us a reference point. [ For this incredibly meaningless item he does not want. He's not even bringing food into this, yet. ]
