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.
... [ 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. ]
[ 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?
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.
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. ]
(a sigh, side-eyeing his teammate. that's precisely why he needs to return to ira, but he doesn't have any money for a sword. the idea to steal one with overwhelming power only just surfaced in the back of his mind.)
It'll only take a second.
(stopping short at the door to 311, raising his hand. he's been trained to knock, instead of scaring reaper by seeping beneath his door, but just sort of flat-palm slaps at it. which makes such a weird, hollow sound on the metal.)
Reaaaper, are you at home?! (yells, making a moot promise:) I'm not here to annoy you, I swear, Sasuke and I just have a question!
[Why do you do this every day. Every day since Suigetsu's arrived, he's had to deal with this. Part of him just wants to not answer, but. Suigetsu knows how antisocial Reaper is, and when is he not in his quarters.
Last thing he needs is for the guy to bubble up under the door. Again. There's loud shuffling and a sharp curse behind the door, and after a few minutes it slides open. Mask in place, hoodie on. Not exactly the master of getting properly dressed in a few minutes. He looks every bit like that grumpy neighbour who yells at you for walking on his lawn.]
What.
Do you want.
I told you earlier that I wasn't in the mood to 'hang out' today.
I'm hanging out with Sasuke right now anyway, so we can hang out tomorrow if you really want. (waving his hand dismissively... god, how did he get so popular so quickly?) You met Sasuke, right? The guy who broke the vending machine and cut the top off of his water bottle 'cause he's only got one arm?
(he's standing right there. suigetsu jerks his thumb at him.)
Well, he didn't get a red token and he's jealous that I got one instead. Then we thought, "hey, sometimes wisdom comes with old age, so maybe Reaper would know why that is." So, any ideas? Did you get one?
[ The attempted knock is something Sasuke doesn't expect and he nearly quirks a brow at it, indeed eyeing the crack beneath the door where he would've expected him to enter instead. Well. Perhaps this'll involve less yelling.
Perhaps. ]
You don't need to add so many irrelevant or false details. I just want to know if the absence of the red token for me was deliberate.
I'm busy tomorrow. [And every other day this week, and next week. He doesn'T WANT TO HANG OUT. HE REALLY DOESN'T WANT.
But after a moment he turns his head to stare at Sasuke. Right. This guy. Less irritating than Suigetsu but still irritating in his own way. He squints a little behind his mask, and then he points at Sasuke.]
How old are you. If you aren't eighteen, then there's the reason you didn't get one. Because you're too young for the shit going on in Luxuria.
Is that all you wanted?? You could have asked anyone that.
You don't have any friends, how can you be busy all day tomorrow?
(you played yourself... telling him all those things you did about being an antisocial, high-functioning psychopath...)
And you're our neighbour, so your door's quicker to get to... Why would we go anywhere else—? (voice dropping to a whisper that could very well be louder than his everyday volume,) Maybe he wasn't the best choice after all, Sasuke, I think he's hard at hearing in his old age. He's fifty-six.
(then he's folding his arms, head tilting.)
But I guess you're too young, Reaper says. I don't really get it, but those are the facts!
... People can be incredibly busy without having any friends. [ He has to defend Reaper on this point, at least, even if he has no real investment in whether or not he suffers at Suigetsu's hand. Reaper's done nothing to engender Sasuke's very limited good will. ]
Regardless, what a pointless rule. If that's truly the reason, it answers my question but poorly. [ Old enough to kill but not old enough to visit a red-light district? Story of Sasuke's life. ]
[He's going to point at Sasuke. THIS. THIS! He doesn't need to have friends to be busy, SEE!!!]
Uchiha gets it. I don't need to have company to be busy. I'm trying to set up something in here. [And while that doesn't make him busy, it's a great excuse to avoid Suigetsu.
He waves his hand at the pair of them.]
Poorly or not, it's an answer. If you're under eighteen and Jello over there isn't, that explains why he has a red token and you don't.
Is that all you wanted? [I can't believe I put on pants for this.]
In a world where nothing concerns you? Sure, keep trying to make excuses for each other!
(WE'RE GOING TO FUCKING HANG OUT.)
And for the last time, I'm not a jello, I just like jello. (his hair flips with the force used in his turn and he begins to walk off down the hall.) C'mon, Sasuke, Reaper's busy practicing his one-liners in the mirror again.
[ Ah. Good. Suigetsu said it so that Sasuke doesn't have to. Defending his teammate's humanity while Suigetsu is actually here seems far harder than doing it when he isn't. ]
