(Ren points at Leo as to make his words his. Don't apologize when you're not sorry is very much in Ren's book of values.
The glasses are back to him and he holds them up towards the light, an eye closed and the other squinting, just to check if there wasn't any dirt from the tree or whatever. It seemed ok to wear, so they're back to his face like they never left and Ren chuckles wholeheartedly at the comment.)
no subject
[Akechi watches the glasses tradeoff, unimpressed and refusing to acknowledge the insincere apology. Instead, he just moves back over to start unwrapping the protective cloth around his blade now that their spar is apparently over with Leo's arrival.]
We seem to have come to a standstill with our investigation, after all. I don't suppose you've learned anything new of value, Tsukinaga-kun?
no subject
but with the glasses returned, leo turns his attention to akechi and akechi's question, his eyes settling on the sword.
hmm. odd-looking-- ]
I'd have told you guys already if I did.
[ he's capable of that much. ]
It's weird how things settled down into some kinda quiet, huh? Like, what the heck! I didn't think we'd have the luxury of almost being bored in a place we got spirited away to, but here we are!
all manga icons yesssssssss
(Alas, there is none! Ren can wait, it's not like it took him months to finally understand what was going back home either way... But at least there he wasn't completely in the dark, which is the case here.
Bothers him senseless.)
How are you spending your time?
no subject
[Akechi mentions it carelessly, just a casual thought he's not expecting the others to listen to or take seriously. There's no evidence one way or another after all, and it's one of the more outlandish theories. Just something to think about.
He finishes tugging the cloth off the blade and looks over it carefully, removing threads by hand that had been caught on its jagged edges and inspecting it for damage.]
no subject
[ because it's not like they're productive in the finding answers kind of way, as has been discussed already... and while the new world aspect of it all is nice, there's something about the days melting together and him missing home that's like, The Worst.
moving on from that one. ]
... Still not thinking about not working together, so that twisted kind of God'll have to wait a while, I think...! Or, well, whatever brought us here? Wahaha, that'd be pretty morbid if it was true! Some weirdo watching us slowly sink into boredom and discontentment until we start to turn our nifty, jagged blades [ sorry he just has to call out akechi's ??? sword here ] on each other? Though... I guess in a way, that's what God does in the first place?
[ this went from 0 to 100 so fast but what're you gonna do. akechi sure was wrong about leo not considering this shit, because that sure is leo.
he says this all cheerily anyway. again, he's leo, and he's already gone through the whole song and dance of stabbing your comrades metaphorically already. wonderful. ]
no subject
After the bomb he dropped, his tone doesn't even change! What a person...)
There surely should be other more thrilling things for God to do to us, no?
no subject
Perhaps it simply hasn't found the interesting things yet. Or it's waiting for us to pass its first test.
[He didn't miss the call-out about his sword! But it doesn't bother him. It's a statement of fact, not an insult. And like, even if it is meant as an insult, it's not wrong. He's just grateful the sword didn't come with the condition of being stuck in his Metaverse outfit. While he likes fighting in it, it's not something that's great for everyday wear. The clawed hands and feet might put people off.
But he returns his attention to Leo to speak.]
You do make a good point about the passage of time, though. Without a way to measure it, or even our normal circadian rhythms to rely on... who's to say how long we've actually been here?
no subject
just like the rest of this is. he offers ren a curious smile. ]
Kids take after their parents sometimes, right? There's people out there who find slowly playing with their toys fun, so... What makes ya think that's something beyond God? Then again, who the heck are we to say what's thrilling or not in this case? Humans are great, but to 'em, we're probably "just humans"! Even if it feels a little less like it without sleep and eating and stuff.
[ weird, weird, that he's starting to kind of miss those things that were minor inconveniences before.
hm. a glance at akechi, and then: ]
... Actually... Since you mentioned it like that, maybe they're not so messed up. Not knowing how long you've been here seems almost like mercy, you know? Oooor would you consider that kinda thing a curse?
[ the most outlandish theory and here leo is, considering it with some mild amusement. ]
no subject
(Seen that, you know. There are things happening at home, that he has no idea how they are, doesn't know how his friends are...
The lack of hunger, which would soon be fixed to everyone's surprise and dismay, along with the lack of sleep is also a huge problem for Ren. Sleep is fundamental to rest a thinking brain, so. His mind hasn't stopped racing since he got here.)
no subject
He rotates his wrist, flicks his sword as if testing that it still slices through the air without bits of cloth trailing behind it.]
Not to mention places and items from home are reappearing as if in an attempt to mollify us. In a famous experiment, rats in a cage given an enriching environment were shown to live happier, healthier lives than their companions locked in solitary confinement with nothing to occupy themselves. So it could be that to whomever saw fit to bring us here, we are their experimental group in an enriched environment.
If it can bring in a person, why not a sword? Why not a gun?
[He flourishes the sword again as if that helps make his point.]
no subject
[ just stab him now
despite that, though, he maybe got the basic outline of akechi's words? the reality of it may be a bit... eh, but there's no denying that they're akin to something like rats in a cage... that he can agree with. it's just how it is.
not knowing the passage of time being a curse? maybe not so much. his gaze focuses on the swinging of akechi's sword, expression thoughtful, curious, and just a hint of frustrated now. ]
If that's how it is, then... [ looking up at the. the sky? upwards, whatever it is: ] How come I didn't get anything? C'mon, God, I'm not feeling like an enriched test subject right now! I thought I was your favorite! Or, um... You're a different one then the one I'm used to, so I can't say that, can I?
[ just kidding he's fully capable of enrichment on his own but like
thinking about it in grim terms like that just makes him want to make fun of it, so. ]
no subject
Unfortunately, he has to agree with Akechi, so he gives a confirmation in a hum.)
I don't think being God's favorite is a good thing, anyways.
(Considering that, well. He is.)
