Deal.

[divus]

[Well. First of all, a hand comes up to lower his stupid god hood, revealing blonde hair. That same hand also reaches into a pocket and pulls out Taka's gun, setting it on the table between them. The hand then moves, fingers catching on the edge of the mask again and twisting it just enough so that it's turned at a 90 degree angle, mouth fully exposed but mask still covering most of his face somehow so he can take a bite of the burger. From this angle, Taka can also see that Cunning has a strong jaw and a thick, pale scar that runs from his chin and up into his mask.

Would it be easier to eat without the mask? Duh, but oh well.]

Can't get you another bullet without another favor, but figured you should have that back.

[bakaomi]

[ this is actually really funny. cunning is trying so hard. ]

... thanks. [ he'll take it. ] What would be a favor you need?

[divus]

[Shut up, metatext.]

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm not stupid, I know my numbers are dropping again this week. So the default is "get me a follower." But that's hard, isn't it?

[bakaomi]

I haven't even gotten my own god followers.

[ sorry merriment ]

[divus]

...how are you with canoes? [Is he serious?]

[bakaomi]

... in what context.

[divus]

In the context of canoe races. [Is he going easy? Maybe. This is a damn good burger.]

[bakaomi]

...

Challenge accepted.

[divus]

Cool. [Shoving the rest of the burger in his mouth, he gives a closed-lip smile before he gets up and...pulls the hood back up even if he's disgruntled about it. Ugh.] Thanks, turned out better than I thought.

[And so he's up on his feet, heading for the lake.] Lap around the lake. I win, you do something for me. You win, you get another bullet.

[bakaomi]

... fine. Got it.

[ cunning definitely has the upper hand here considering he

apparently is from a fucking camp that does canoe racing ]

[divus]

[He's busy dragging out two canoes, finagling them into the water and tossing Taka an oar. In his defense, it's been a while since he's done this, too, and as he lowers himself into the canoe he waits.]

You know you're at an advantage. Ready?

[bakaomi]

[ hmmm

well, once he's certain that he isn't going to immediately fall over ]

Ready.

[divus]

[With that, Cunning takes off in his canoe to begin his route around the lake. The advantage here, of course, is that he's wearing a mask and it makes seeing things in his peripheral vision a little harder. He's still doing pretty well and Taka will have to keep up, but he's already halfway across the lake somehow.]

[bakaomi]

[ oh he is fast

i mean apparently taka is fit??? kind of?? because he apparently piggybacked someone up a whole ass mountain so

he's going after him ]

[divus]

[He's not as fast as a certain other demigod who's water-based, but he's athletic and can nyoom. Taka's keeping up pretty well though and also I hate that he piggybacked someone up a mountain. Anyway, it's a pretty decent race. Francy gimme heads or tails.]

[bakaomi]

[ heads ]

[divus]

[Well. Okay. That means somehow Taka wins this stupid canoe race as they get back to shore.]

[bakaomi]

[ huh ]

Huh.

[divus]

Huh. [Cunning leans back in his canoe, seemingly looking at the water before he shrugs.] Alright. Fair enough.

[Give him a second and he'll toss another bullet Taka's way. Just one.]

[bakaomi]

[ fskjsg

he catches it ]

One.

[divus]

One. Gotta do something bigger to get more...but you can probably ask somebody else? I didn't supply all of the guns in this place. I've never used them before.

[bakaomi]

Hm... I guess.

[ he'll pocket it. ]

Thanks.

[divus]

Sure. [He's busy pulling the canoe away from the water and getting everything back to normal.] This wing's disappearing in a few days anyway. Figured I should get some more use out of it before the next host comes in.

[bakaomi]

Last week we saw you guys around more often.

[ ya know. on dates. ]
