Just the ones that would affect my SR around here. The others I don't care. I'm not as evil as telemarketing.

You just don't appreciate good humour, or morbid humour. Or humour.

[burnitblack]

sr?

but ya can't get an accurate headcount if ya only pollin the people ya like.

i like morbid humor. maybe ya the one that just can't tell a joke.

[comecatchthesehands]

[Right. Right. He used a 'Game Word'™️.]

Skill Rating. Am I going to have to teach you everything you know, or just some things?

I can. I did. I'm starting to regret it. That's accurate enough for me, unless you have some vested interest in calling the whole network for me and reporting back.

[He'll never comment on his joke telling skills, how dare.]

[burnitblack]

[should know better by now.]

about video game lingo? probably. if i feel like payin attention.

oy, don't try to wrangle me into doin the work for ya. you want a headcount, you go count the heads. i only care about keepin tabs on people from our world.

[shame on you, thinking you could get the lazy league member to share the workload in a personal project. that's not how this works.]

[comecatchthesehands]

[Never, not ever.]

Ugh.

Then neither of us wants to worry about anyone who isn't necessary. Like I said, I got the headcount of the people I wanted to know about.

Speaking of keeping track, I'm trying to figure out logistics for settling in somewhere for now. Likely in Crenshaw since they just got done getting owned and the likelihood of lightning twice isn't that common.

[burnitblack]

didn't sound like that when ya first called. for a moment i thought you were openin ya heart and carin about all those lost people.

[sarcasm. the sarcasm. and just being a shit.]

ain't that hard. find an abandoned house and move in. there's plenty around. the lantern warps make it easy to get around too.

You saw no journal fail lmao.

[comecatchthesehands]

You know me. I may as well be the number one philanthropist around here. Hug old people, hold their hand across the street. Save cats. Look after the strays.

[He's in a good mood, so the sarcasm isn't under his skin so badly. Still he knows it was.]

I found somewhere I think, I just have to work out how secure it's going to be. If I go with it, I'll send the location.

hi shoto~ (btw, did you see the ooc news?)

[burnitblack]

if ya ever did any of those things, i'd think you went insane.

[calling this sly grouch when you're in a good mood isn't the best idea...]

why the sudden decision to settle down? don't tell me ya gettin comfortable here.

Saw. NOTHING. (Do you mean the closing notice?)

[comecatchthesehands]

I'd probably save the cat. You can clear that one from me being insane.

[Hey, he had to know if Dabi was dead, alive or deadalive. Or Dead Alive.]

Hell no. This place makes my skin crawl. I'm tired of trying to figure out where to drag my consoles to. The solution would be to toss them, but I don't want to.

totally saw it. (and yeah.)

[burnitblack]

ain't gonna judge ya for savin a cat.


[at least he's not Dead or Alive.]

surprised ya haven't settled down already if that's ya reason. why dontcha just keep one at one place, one at another, and have a few crashes?

My shame is forever seen lol. (I will come have a chat with you when work is not dumb)

[comecatchthesehands]

I never took you for an animal lover. I learned something new today.

[With a certain outfit that is a certain way, wrapped on a certain body?]

Might not be a bad idea. Have somewhere to hole up in when everything next hits the fan. And it will. There's just no doubt about that in my mind.

Have you spoken to someone by the name of Hydrakeeper on the network, yet?

shoto is not shame! (no prob~)

[burnitblack]

never said i was. just animals don't suck as much as people most of the time.

[or in the case of that series, a lack of outfit on body...]

this entire place has been waitin for that since the beginnin. so long as it results in us gettin sent home, trench can go to hell.

nah. i keep to myself.

[comecatchthesehands]

For once, we can actually agree wholeheartedly on something. Animals don't suck as much as people.

Maybe if we're lucky. Otherwise we just get kidnapped somewhere else. Take it from me. One world explodes, the next just grabs you.

Let me know if you do.

[burnitblack]

ya make it sound like that's never happened before.

i'd rather not. been away from home long enough. another world grabs me and i'll burn it to the ground. ain't got time for more of this crap.

why?

[comecatchthesehands]

That completely? We differ on a lot of our commonalities. That one though, I'm on roster.

We don't have time for it now. What will burning it do? Actual question.

Curious. He's giving me some weird vibes and wanted a second opinion I could trust. You don't know him so it's fine.

[Let him use the T word.]

[burnitblack]

congratulations.

satisfy some petty pleasure i get outta destroyin what i don't like. maybe be enough of a troublemaker, the person who yanked me in will think i'm too much a problem to throw me back home. ya never know.

he wanted a second opinion you could trust. what, he not capable of trustin his own opinion?

[comecatchthesehands]

You're always your best at your nicest.

You think maybe if we decided to destroy everything we'd get sent back like bad boys? Not just turned into squid?

No. I meant I wanted an opinion I could trust.

[burnitblack]

hilarious. ya sarcasm's real generous.

no one keepin pets for entertainment's gonna like ones that destroy the cage and their other pets. i'm keepin the option open just in case i get too tired of this place.

say that next time.

[comecatchthesehands]

Look at you, I didn't even have to explain it.

Did you consider none of us are for entertainment? If you want to burn this place to the ground, I won't stand in your way. I'll help you. I just think you're wasting your time.

I'm saying it now.

[burnitblack]

would've been suspicious if ya had.

if we're not just here for entertainment, that'll make 'em even more angry if we start killin people. playthings have some importance, but useful items? they have a lot more importance.

i'm aware of that. but it hasn't stopped me from settin some of this place on fire.

so ya are.

[comecatchthesehands]

Is that what you want to do? Lure some morons into a little spider web? Real question. I may even know someone who would help. Normally I don't like other people's ideas, but I'm willing to stand where you stand on it if you think you want to try.

[burnitblack]

nah. i'm more interested in seein if the two hunter factions will end up goin at each other's throats. the animosity's settled down a little, but the kindlin's still there. just needs some right sparks.

i've killed enough people and burned enough shit here already to know those bastards up there aren't gonna pitch me outta here any time soon no matter what i do.

[comecatchthesehands]

So which is it? You're passive and want to sit around and wait for civil war, or you want to try and beat enrage? Or both. The one and only time I let you take the reigns and you seem unnerved.

[burnitblack]

ya ain't been doin anythin here, shigaraki. the league isn't here, we haven't made any kind of plans or laid any groundwork to create a movement. just been kinda survivin and doin our own things.

now ya suddenly show up and say ya handing me the reins. to what? there's nothin here.

the embers of that potential war exist, but there's not enough strife here to drive that wedge in yet. shit comes along and unifies people for a while. that ain't conducive to civil break.

i tried earlier on to fan those flames and it never took. so i'm not wastin my time until the circumstances are better.

[comecatchthesehands]

I'm sorry, did you want me to hold your hand the whole time? What exactly else is there to do here? Continue where we left off from home? How? There is no how. I was telling you, if you wanted to do something about it, if you had ideas I was listening. Because I don't. I don't care what happens to this place, or any other place I've been. None of them get me closer to my goals and none of them get you closer to yours. Fish out a pair of pliers from your hoard and pull the stick out of your ass.

Let me know when the circumstances get better.
