Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

[chalicejoker]

Heads up--if you run into Teruo, Kinji's infiltration, some kind of yellow sea snake mermaid--be really damn careful. He's a menace.

Asshole goaded me into what I thought was a spar, but then he started singing, and it...

[Hajime's mental voice trails off in embarassment here before picking up again.]

Look, I'm not proud of it, but it's hard to get me to back down from a fight. And what he did, it...I just stopped fighting. Didn't even think to defend myself. He kept it up long enough to hit me with a cheap sucker punch.

[The irritation is just coming off his mental voice here.]

He also said several times that if I was a warrior, I should be sticking closer to the boat and protecting my school--I'm still not sure if that was a threat or not. I wouldn't put anything past him.

...and if you do end up talking to him and he mentions someone named Chalice, that's me--I'm not about to go by my real name in the same world as the Bando, even if I'm a fish this time around.

Probably with the other ship.

Bright yellow and black snake, full of himself, can't miss him.

I've got dibs on tying him into a knot.

Fuck that, he didn't go after your boyfriend.

[chalicejoker]

I haven't even been able to find my boyfriend here yet...

At least let me help, dammit.

[awfullyironic]

Only if you promise to call me if you run into him again.

[chalicejoker]

If there's time to call anyone, sure.

[awfullyironic]

Dude.

I am currently talking to your brain.

[chalicejoker]

...that's a good point...

[awfullyironic]

Fuck yeah, it is.
