[and a few minutes later a pink cat will come wandering in his direction. she hops up to climb him, carefully, and thunks her head against his neck. you know what sucks]
Yeah. Me and Hanako were screwing around in the theater with the rotating stage, and Temenos figured out the door was locked. Yae Miko and... some other guys were there too.
I thought we were gonna get ganked because of what Hanako did at the party.
If it was retaliation for Hanako, they got the wrong guy. [ scritching absent-mindedly ] Everyone says they got locked some place. I was... in the cafe.
[ sighs a little ]
Whatever happened in there, I guess I slept right through it.
... Thereabout, I think? I didn't check the time. I've passed out before, but it's usually when I'm eating. [ he has comedic timing narcolepsy. ] But if you did too... Maybe we were knocked out by something?
... Kind of. We mostly talked about Groot. Or through him, I guess? I like the kid. [ he frowns a little, looking up ] I wonder how he's doing now. Did you? Talk to him.
I didn't hear much about them, but I can see that. [ if the crew could have people like groot and rocket in it. ] Guess we'll have to see if we can figure out Groot's language on our own. Can't leave the kid unable to be understood by everybody, right?
Oh. [ he says that like he hadn't thought about it, because he hadn't. ] I don't know. There's always people like that, who think less of others because of what they look like. [ [one piece voice] if you're not a furry it's racism ] Reigen seemed to think we were being targeted for the hero thing. Goat and the others used to be twelve.
Yeah. I talked to Phoenix about it. They said the other four, um. Marigold Monkey, Silver Horse, Pink Pig, and Black Dragon. They died right before we all got here, in the big fight that destroyed the city.
But he wasn't really the type to - it just doesn't feel right that he'd be the first to go. Not for hero reasons. He blew up the fountain.
... Makes sense. [ that it was rocket, he means. he shakes his head. she is still being pet ftr ] He said he and Groot had done heroics before. Though...sort of by circumstances. Maybe that's why? If they knew he already was one in his world.
[the only reason she is as calm as she is is because he is petting her]
... Yeah. Yeah, maybe that was it. [and not because he was different. she just falls silent here, for a bit, and then:] Did you have any weird things happen to you? With the - like, I can't stop feeling like I want to sing.
[HELP don't curfew alone i hate you i've already lost one blorbo to tutorial]
Mmhm. And uh, Saya was really hungry, and I think Reigen could hear ringing in his ears. [thuds her head - somewhere, is he carrying her what is even going on here, she just hides her face.]
I don't know. The entire thing is-- weird. I'm not any good for this kind of mystery thing.
[ he's just kind of walking them around because he personally is restless and needs to move, so it's just. holds cat with pets and walks through town moments ]
Only thing I know for sure is Rocket shouldn't have died.
