Me about to force Baiken to be in the aquarium, but no......... tell me where she is unless it's the bar as usual because that's where she was going to go immediately.]
[THANK GOD because he cannot swim either so they are not going there without sidon
Instead, they can bear witness to the oceanic horrors from behind nice glass enclosures. He's watching some glowing jellyfishes actually, but does a double-take when he spots Baiken.]
[ like, is she surprised? yes. she missed all the fun and excitement this morning. but her feelings are pretty muted, so there's no gawking and staring. ]
Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to.
[ great, obviously! although she has fared better than a good number of people here. never saw the inside of a healing pod and was never in a situation where she had to. so, maybe, it actually is great in a relative sense.
[Well, he's not saying he isn't a twink with a constitution of ONE, but. He can have a bit of a bite every blue moon when the right buttons are pushed.]
[NOT THE RESPECT FOR THE STRINGY NERD RISING BECAUSE HE HAS A TINY BIT OF SASS!!]
Solving them with the sword, you mean? You sound a lot like Lucien. I think he would try to solve every problem with his head if he could--by smashing his horns into it.

location is dealer's choice as long as it's on the ship. someone can't swim, so.......
aquarium is fine there's no swimming. ]

I'm surprised to see you here, of all places.

Just takin' a walk.
no subject
Me, too. I'm not sure how I managed to luck out getting yanked back when such a nice place became available.
no subject
What's it like, being a dead man living again?
no subject
[THE KARMA IS SHIT. But he gets it's kind of a joke.]
Mm. [He watches the glass and the jellyfish behind it.] Strange. Surreal. Like I'm... not supposed to be here really.
no subject
[ he looks solid enough, so she won't touch him to make sure.
since he's watching the jellies, she turns her eye to them too, like maybe she will divine what else to say.
the jellyfish are not that profound. ]
You're stuck carving out a living like the rest of us.
no subject
It looks that way, yes. Hopefully soon it will be all of us once more carving out a living.
[He looks at her reflection.]
How have you been?
no subject
[ great, obviously! although she has fared better than a good number of people here. never saw the inside of a healing pod and was never in a situation where she had to. so, maybe, it actually is great in a relative sense.
she continues to stare out past the glass. ]
no subject
[But he doesn't press her to say anything, though. He gets it. He puts up with quite a few people who act like this.]
no subject
[ a sigh. ]
This place is a shithole. I'll be glad once it's all over.
no subject
[Well, he's not saying he isn't a twink with a constitution of ONE, but. He can have a bit of a bite every blue moon when the right buttons are pushed.]
We agree on something then. Two things.
no subject
It's just one shitty life to the next. I prefer going back to solving problems my way instead of tolerating everything that happens.
[ it is INCREDIBLY frustrating she can't just eviscerate her problems. ]
no subject

no subject
[ you stringy nerd ]
no subject
I suppose I'm on the opposite side of the glass. I love to work out my problems. Annoying sometimes when they're difficult to solve, but still.
no subject
Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.
[ violence :) ]
no subject
[It's like she's missing an eye.]
I'm pretty sure "thinking" is about all I've got usually.
no subject
Fair enough. Can't imagine you beating someone to death.
no subject
He gives her a very strange, somewhat suddenly worried look and then glances quickly away.]
no subject
Even with all the surprises here, I still can't envision it.
[ you do you buddy she just thinks you're a nerd ]
no subject
Maybe it isn't beating you should be worried about.
no subject
Whatever you have to do to survive.
[ although she does have enough sense to remember she's talking to a previously dead man. ]
You still came back, so I don't wanna hear any moping about it. You get another chance.
no subject
I know. [He sounds apologetic which is funny.] I'm grateful, I am.
Maybe someone else would have been better. Sidon. Dion. Margaret. But... I guess there isn't anything I can do about that now.
