10 ~ comparing those worlds to this boring, normal life [audio/picture]

[menial]

['Well. It sure got cold pretty fast, huh? Which means that I'm rapidly approaching the one-year mark, so I should really be proud. Or something. After burrowing myself away to avoid complications from refugees, my antisociality has reached a certain limit.

Unfortunately, I also have nothing to contribute beyond the observation about the weather which I already blithely used up there! Not that people can read my thoughts, but if they could, they'd find out. Well, they'd find out a lot of things. But who would want to anyway? It would just go on and on without any point.

Anyway, I guess I'll poorly disguise my attempt to see who's up for a random conversation with some kind of opener. Hey, if I were at home, this would be a mind-scarring Omegle session or something. At least I'm pretty sure I won't run into the usual problems stranger-chatting over the journal.'

...and so:]

So I found this in a book the other day.



Maybe this doesn't work as well over the journal, but I thought it was cool, anyway. Or at least different from discussions about fire and eternal suffering, continued kidnapping, disappearance, reappearance, cross-dressing, and so on.

lol it's cool it's cool...

[godbent]

Really?! Name seven and a half, right now!

[menial]

['Oh, damn!']

Looking at more optical illusions. Walking to the plaza. Gardening. -- ... Rhythmic gymnastics. Bank robberies. ...........

['Seven is a lot! Forget the half!']

Being on a boat. Buying a cat. That's seven. Buying a dog can be the extra half.

[godbent]

...Bank robberies?

[menial]

...Any robbery, I guess.

[godbent]

[.......Idea]

You know, we should totally stage from big thieving caper. Thieves are cool sometimes, you know?

[menial]

........


Actually, that's not a bad idea. I think I can guess at least a few people would be into that.

[godbent]

Exactly! Maybe that Lupin guy! I mean he's got the same name as that anime guy!

[menial]

Right. And -- ['Kusakabe-san seems pretty interested in the idea of phantom thieves. But wait, she also wanted to keep that secret.'] -- there's that woman from his world, right? Fujiko-san. They seem like partners.

[godbent]

Oh, that's true! I get the vibe where they're from is totally old school too. He can steal something and give it to his wife.

[menial]

Yeah, it's a real Bonnie and Clyde situation there, for sure. Though I would've thought you'd want to do some thieving yourself.

[godbent]

Off course! We'd be challenging them! A thief-off! We can outsource the setting the traps for it to the SSS or something!

[menial]

...Ah. Of course.

To the who?

[godbent]

The SSS - Yuri's group. It's short for something like Afterlife Battlefront. [Shinda Sekai Sensen]

[menial]

... You think they're the kind of people who can set up high-security vaults?

[godbent]

Sure, why not? It's not like it's that hard to do, I bet.

[menial]

If it's not that hard to do, it's probably not that hard to break into, either.

[godbent]

Yuri's a little like me but she's violent and insane. Trust me, it'll be hard.

[menial]

['....

"But"?']



... Well, that's a recommendation if I ever heard one.

[godbent]

See?! So she's got this.

[menial]

All right, all right, I believe you. So when will we be planning this caper for?

[godbent]

After the spelunking trip to be sure... I'll need to call the guy.

[menial]

Right.

Well, it's always good to have a full slate of Brigade activities on tap.

[godbent]

That's true! I should get to work on figuring out when Ramamdan is...

[menial]

......

You can have an activity for that?

[godbent]

Why not? It's not like I know Muhammad's birthday offhand! Besides, if we do some sort of fasting thing it's possible we'll get the favor of that god. I've already obviously got Orihime and Hikoboshi, not to mention Amaterasu, might as well start collecting more.
