[ there's only one good way for me to justify using this gif for the pc, and it's by these two taking a trip to the Shibu Department Store's own Bloodbath and Beyond. They don't got to pay shit so obviously messing around with the weapons for a test run is free too? there's probably dummies and targets to practice on. sadly, you can't really test the varieties of poison that they have... but that's okay. they double deda. ]

My apologies, Dahlia-san! I really wanted to check this store out, but with the current group settled in with us, it would probably look suspicious of me to go here on my own, and even more so if I asked Ranpo-san or Terra-san to come with.

[ a beat. he's examining the selection of polearms standing against a wall. which of these is close enough... ]

At least bringing you along is an amusing sight! Maybe you can find something sharp and pretty~

[ she turns around and smiles, sickeningly sweet. ]

It's much more personal that way.

[speckling]

That's good to know! I'm not dying in here today. Or in the future, now that I know it would be you.

[ taking a naginata off of the rack, he plays with its decorative. these sure are dressed up weapons. form and function? ]

I appreciate the honesty. Does that mean you trust me, or by some miracle, I'm one of the more tolerable people in here? The other Reapers don't seem to think highly of you.

[ he realizes how that sounds when she just explained her mo to him with a fake smile and he laughs nervously. ]

As a colleague, I mean. Something like that.

[venomosity]

Wow, what a rude accusation... I'll let you know that I've gotten along just fine with Mr. Edogawa, Ms. Enoshima, and young Mr. Kurusu.

[ citation needed? ...but then she turns away from him again. ]

You certainly are more tolerable than some of the recently Erased... but no, I find you more "interesting" than anything else.

[speckling]

My bad, my bad! Unconventional bonds are the fun ones, because you don't know what to expect. If you're fine, I don't push it. Just know that I see some being unpleasant, so I got curious.

[ he swings down, hearing the air being cut by the shaft and blade. ]

I don't like following the rules and boundaries of humans, so I was thought of as a "monster". But I love humans like that still, for doing those things like they should.

[ she isn't looking, so he winks. ]

So! Being "tolerable" is a surprise, but "interesting" is not. Whatever works, I don't see a point in getting on your nerves.
