[Well, fuck. Fine. He runs through several solutions, doesn't like any of them, but the fact remains that he owes Damien for patching up his shoulder, for keeping his secret. He'll be magnanimous.]

I'm not a man who forgets my debts. I'll lend you a weapon.

[abeautifulgame]

I'd appreciate it.

[because if his idea doesn't work, he's going to need something. he might need something, even if it does, depending]

[abeautifulgame]

Why? What's waiting?

[how far have you been down, Ren?]

[forethinking]

The distortion gets worse.

(Almost all the way down.)

[forethinking]

(Ren, who was about to offer his own, NOT EVEN FOR A DEBT but much more because he has other ways to defend himself... Doesn't. Go ahead, Akechi.)

I'm coming your way.

[abeautifulgame]

...

I'm not sure I want to see worse.

[this is already very fucking disturbing, okay?]

[forethinking]

So don't go down further.

(SIMPLE SOLUTION.......)

[abeautifulgame]

So we established.

[don't sass him, my boy. just -- don't, okay?]

[forethinking]

(Thought his boy was Akechi.)

We should be there soon. Hang on.

[abeautifulgame]

[the point still stands!]

I'll be waiting.

[simulatio]

I'd be rather upset with you if you did.

Let's have fun, shall we?

[forethinking]

(As if he'd give it back even if the answer was yes. It's his most treasured possession, after all. He was just inquiring about the tradition.)

I'd never.

Let's. Using Loki, right?

[forethinking]

(Kaiba looks like an abandoned, angry dog, Ren can't help but think, fleeting when he catches her smile and nods with one of his own. Maybe he owes Kaiba a little bit now.

She doesn't talk, so Ren calmly replies.)

It's a common spot in Tokyo. It may, it may not.

[forethinking]

The original is like that as well, only...

(Smaller...?

Not pink...?

Not a mushroom?!

He shudders, shoulders squaring - Tifa, why did you put the both of you in this situation? It would have been easier if the both of you just admired in silence and, given the choice, at different times...

(I have no clue.) )

[forethinking]

Huh?

(Oh. Interesting piece of information. Ren's eyebrows quirk, curiosity pushing him to ask more.)

You're from Midgar?

[forethinking]

(He's happy he has influenced her into breaking her habits, he won't lie, and for a fraction of a second, he may even look smug as he fixes his glasses.)

People seem genuine here, for the most part.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[With his distinctive attire, as well as his other features and mannerisms it would be difficult to mistake Kaiba for anyone else. He shouldn't have been surprised that this girl apparently knew Ren given where he had run into her in the first place loitering around the Leblanc café. At least there was someone else that could show her the ropes, so to speak.

He wouldn't have appreciated the comparison to an 'abandoned angry dog' despite how accurate it was as a description.

Nodding to the answer to acknowledge it, he didn't doubt it. Japan had tons of stations just like this- though... personally.... he tried to avoid public transportation at all costs. Literally. He couldn't help noticing the apprehension on the female's features however slight.]

You'd know more about common than I would. [Though the snark wasn't warranted it was launched all the same. Placing that aside, he navigated his way off the stairs himself.] Looks like another wreck all the same...

[forethinking]

(Give it a few hours.)

Holding up ok?

EVEN BIGGER ASS PERSONA 5 ROYAL SPOILERS

[feale]

[ It's a moment from their shared past that she knows well, and it makes her smile to think that it was important enough to him that it was shared, even involuntarily.

She's still a little more shy than he would expect her to be, probably, as she steps forward and into a bow. After all, she's not the same girl who he saw in that memory - but nor is she that girl's cringing, scared younger sister. Not anymore. And so when she straightens up from the bow, her smile is a little broader, a little more confident. ]

I-It's nice to meet you, Sena-san! My name Yoshizawa Sumire!

slides in here with massive p5r spoilers

[feale]

[ For a moment, she's convinced they're about to meet up with Ryuji. The quality of the voice is different, of course, but the tone is so alike that for a moment it fools her.

Of course, in the time it takes her to process the question that comes along with that thought - if Ryuji-senpai is here, why didn't the others say anything? - she's realized her mistake. If the vocal quality wasn't enough to give it away on its own, the shock of orange hair should have been. Not to mention that Ryuji, with his preference for shotguns, probably wouldn't care to spend much time on a sport as precise as archery.

So when she steps forward in response to Ren's gesture, there's a little embarrassment mixed in with the shy expression on her face. ]

U-Um. It's a pleasure to meet you, Tsukinaga-san! [ Whether he's looking or not by the time she says that, Yoshizawa steps into a bow. ] My name is Yoshizawa Sumire!

[feale]

[ Running into Ann here is definitely not a surprise. For one, both Ren and Akechi have already told her that she's in the Void with them. And they're in a mall. One that's partially a school, but also looks very much like the Shibuya Underground. And so there's only happiness on Yoshizawa's face when she waves, rushing forward a few steps to meet Ann halfway. ]

Takamaki-senpai! [ She nods. ] I haven't been here for very long at all. [ She thinks, anyway. Yoshizawa makes a face as she thinks about it. What is time? The only thing she knows for sure is that her senpais have been here longer than she has.

Heh. Now they're three times her senpais. Second year senpais, Metaverse senpais, Void senpais. The confused look becomes a smile, a small snrk of laughter escaping her before she can stop it. Her cheeks flush, and she clears her throat. ]

...But I was lucky to meet with senpai, and with Akechi-san... And I'm so glad to see you, too!

[ This place may not be home, but she's with the people who matter most to her, so that's a good thing, right? ]

[feale]

[ The shot at Ren comes seemingly out of nowhere, and whatever strange concern she was feeling about this place gets channeled right into a feeling of displeasure instead, her brows creasing as she looks at the other man. He may have saved her from that creature before, but that's no excuse for her to let him get away with— ]

Senpai is not common! A-And even if he were... that's just rude!

[ (Later, she'll wonder what about his rudeness even surprised her. He was just as impolite the first time they met, too...)

Be that as it may, though, she won't hear a single word against the man who risked everything to shake her out of a waking dream. ]

@ren

[feale]

Senpai, are you free for a moment?

[forethinking]

Sure. What's up?

[feale]

[ His response came quicker than she would have liked; she still hasn't had time to work out how to form the words.

Stalling time. ]

You know how I'm from your future, right?
