Anybody have some credits I could borrow?

Or know how to make some out here?

[Unsure]

Dude... you mean sell em?

[What the heLL!?]

Or like... enter one of those arena match thingies

[dipolar]

I mean place bets with your limbs.

(HE KNOWS.)

[ryuji]

[PLEASE, NO????]

You got anything else that doesn't end up in me probably dying?

[dipolar]

Stop being overdramatic, you wouldn't die.
You would lose a maximum of 4 limbs.
But I have an idea that will suit you far better: stop gambling.
Go back to COST's quarters and stay in there.

[ryuji]

[The urge to just type out man, fuck off or something similar in a slew of vulgarities is really strong, but he knows it won't go anywhere with Hei.]

Pretty sure my gambling days are done.

And hell no, I'm not just packing up and giving up on the mission, even if this one is total bullshit.

[dipolar]

(sighs, remembering what noctis said...

with him gone, does it still apply? does any of it matter?)

I have one coupon for food, if you can't find anything by the time you're starving.
Other than that, I have nothing for you.

[ryuji]

Thanks, Hei.

[Biting the inside of his cheek.

There are so many things he wants to say to him, but in the end, does it make a difference? He knows that the expectation of him is lower than dirt, and this doesn't... really help that perception at all.]

I know you don't have to do that, so. Yeah, thanks.

[dipolar]

That's unnecessary.
I'm just doing my job.

[ryuji]

Got it, job.

Makes sense.

[dipolar]

(after mordred texts him:)

You couldn't have chosen a better servant?
I know there's shit choices, but in a case like this you're better off without one.

[ryuji]

[He saw the string below, didn't intervene, just... letting her do as she wants. He's not that type of master to start controlling her. The ferocity is one of the traits he loves most about her.]

Even if she's hot-headed and kinda abrasive, I think it's a good match.

She's... sorta good for me, in a weird way

[dipolar]

Good for you how?
You'll wind up dead if you stay close to a mouth that big.
They may prefer aggressive women here, but that doesn't mean family insults go over well.

[ryuji]

I know it sounds kinda dumb...

But when you got something you need to be alive to protect, it kinda changes the way you feel about things, idk

Man, what am I saying.

[dipolar]

You think I don't know that?
You barely know what the hell you're talking about and you're trying to teach me life lessons?

@MODERATUS

[bloodings]

im not going to babysit a limbless master.

[ SHE KNOWS HE'D LOSE ]

[dipolar]

Who the hell are you?

[bloodings]

his servant.

[dipolar]

I got that much.
You're the other Saber, then, the one who was rude on my name suggestion post.

[bloodings]

yeah. you got a problem with that?

dont give my master stupid ideas. hes the kind of person to listen to them.

[dipolar]

No, it's something you sabers seem to have in common.
All of the decent servants were taken, I imagine.
Like Archer.

(HORSE DAD IS SO MAXIMUM CHILL...)

If he's as stupid as you say then it's just natural selection, isn't it?

[bloodings]

that other saber is stupidly polite! dont lump us in together!

[ ONLY SHE CAN BE THE RUDE SERVANT... ]

and i dont care if its natural selection or not. i depend on him.

[ wait ]

i mean, on his mana.
i could find another master, but it would be inconvenient. so quit trying to get him killed.

[dipolar]

Your weaknesses are showing.
I will spare you the need to correct yourself further by changing the subject.

I am giving him a food coupon.
He will survive, for better or worse.

[bloodings]

that is acceptable.
consider this a pardon for being rude, then.

[dipolar]

I don't mind.
But I didn't take you for someone who'd apologize.

[bloodings]

it wasnt an apology. im saying i wont kill you.
