[bakaomi]

Maybe he forgot that I'm a relatively normal fifteen year old?

[ it's not an excuse it's just the only thing he can fuckin think of ]

[divus]

Given I think he might've forgotten I'm a god when he came to talk to me, that's likely. [UCHIHA!!!]

...you're a pretty clever fifteen year old though, I'll give you that much. Sending the literal sword at me? Nice touch.

[bakaomi]

Oh. Who won?

[divus]

He did. [And Cunning sounds a little stunned by that.] Just barely, we're gonna do it again next week or something. Probably.

[bakaomi]

[ he blinks in surprise ]

Sounds like you had fun.

[divus]

Yeah. [Weirdly, he doesn't sound menacing? He actually sounds pretty happy...] It's been a while since I've had a challenge, I was kind of worried I was falling out of practice. Most of the others aren't really combatants.

[bakaomi]

I dunno. Justice seems like he could be a good match.

[divus]

And have Merriment freeze my ass? Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather do it my way.

i can't believe beauty is here too

[bakaomi]

You know what? Fair.

beauty is stalking Taka text it

[divus]

Did you know he was as good as he is, or was that a lucky guess?

[bakaomi]

A lucky guess, but considering Ray it shouldn't be that surprising.

[divus]

...so let me get this right. You got your information from Ray, went to Ishikirimaru and that's how all of this happened?

[bakaomi]

Oh. No, I just went to Ishikirimaru and told him to go spar with you.

[ taka has never once used ray for information on help with gods and that's what's funny ]

[divus]

[...it almost sounds like a laugh, but Cunning would deny it.]

And he just listened to you. I've gotta say, that's an incredible kind of power. You're really working for stuff, aren't you?

[Yeah, he didn't forget.]

[bakaomi]

Well, I did say I'd do it.

[divus]

People say a lot of things they don't mean. [That aside.] That said, you upheld your end of the deal. On the downside, you also helped wreck my room.

[bakaomi]

... so does it cancel it out?

[divus]

About half. I can acknowledge effort but also stupidity. One gun, no bullets.

[bakaomi]

... one bullet?

[ taka, ]

[divus]

...anybody ever tell you you're bad at negotiations?

[bakaomi]

Yeah. You did.

[ THE LAST TIME THEY DID THIS ]

[divus]

Oh. [HE...FORGOT.] My point stands even more then. But fine. One gun, one bullet.

[bakaomi]

Fine. Thanks.

[ he would try to argue further but he is getting out of this whole mess a lot more unscathed than he thought he would so. this is fine. ]

[divus]

[When Takaomi turns, he'll find a small handgun with uno bullet in it.]

Make good use of it. You only get one shot.

[bakaomi]

Mm. Hopefully that's one shot too many.
