... hn...

[divus]

Nooot an answer!

[Say it, you coward.]

[bakaomi]

... no, it doesn't have to be on my own...

[ it's like pulling teeth

... well, a lot less so than it was before. he would have refused to admit it if it was the beginning. ]

[divus]

That's the spirit. [Lmao. With that said though, they're at the tallest floor and near the biggest window.]

...here, help me check if this thing opens.

[bakaomi]

[ if it doesn't taka wonders if jack can use god powers to cheat and make it open

but he's not sure if that'll work in another god's domain so he doesn't say it out loud to not sound stupid ]

[divus]

[Luckily for them, Ambition probably didn't think this through and the window opens up to a balcony/window ledge that Jack immediately crawls onto.]

I'm going to miss places like this. I wonder if I can convince her to keep this when we start creating whatever's next. Coming? [There's just barely enough room, but they're going to head up.]

[bakaomi]

Uh huh.

[ he will carefully climb after him, mostly because he trusts jack to not let him fall down and die. ]

You probably can though. It's not that hard to convince her of stuff.

[divus]

[He's right, Jack doesn't plan on making taka-pancakes today, so. He'll even hold out an arm if Taka needs to steady himself.]

You sure about that? She can be pretty stubborn when she wants to be. I've had enough arguments with her myself.

[bakaomi]

It depends on how you argue with her.

[ this is the knowledge that a tsun has about dealing with another tsun ]

[divus]

...you really did befriend all of us, didn't you. [But he's looking at the wall, noticing there's a fancy fire-escape by the window and hopping over to it. Come along.]

[bakaomi]

... some more than others.

[ it's grumbled. admitting he may have friends is terrible.

but he follows after him ]

[divus]

Yeah, well, we needed it. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

[Up they go...] I wonder how things would be different if you'd said no.

[bakaomi]

... to the call?

[ he frowns, mostly since he didn't really think things would change too dramatically without him ]

[divus]

Yup. If we got other people besides you or Ishi or Senri or anything. How would that combination have gone? Maybe it's not that important but the thought's still there.

[bakaomi]

... I dunno.

[ it probably would have less romantic teenage drama, but taka is not saying that out loud ]

Hopefully you wouldn't have gotten someone shitty.

[divus]

Hopefully. Good thing we got what we did. And if there's another set of gods out there...maybe they'll get lucky, too.

[Up on the rooftop he goes, extending a hand to Taka to pull him up to the highest point.] This may be taller than the 109 building.

[bakaomi]

[ ... he hadn't considered that, that whoever sent the call to these gods could have just as easily sent it to other people.

takaomi isn't sure how he feels about that.

regardless, he'll take the offered hand. ]

You're not scared of heights, right?

[ it's a joke ]

[divus]

Oh yeah, why do you think you're here? [Also a joke, but he's hauling Taka up so they're on the roof and overlooking Paris.]

I told you why I like being up as high as possible, haven't I?

[bakaomi]

I'm waiting for us to jump off a plane next.

[ he wishes he had a camera with him, or that senri was here just to see this view. he almost thinks about going to get him, but...

taka has had to share jack with more people over the weeks, but he likes their time alone most of all. ]

[divus]

We could if you wanted. [Don't encourage him??] Pretty sure we could find a plane if we wanted.

[bakaomi]

Really?

[ HE LOOKS UP?? ]

[divus]

Really. Should I be concerned you're that excited to jump out a plane?

[bakaomi]

No, I was just...

[ he shakes his head. ]

It would just be weird, if there was one here.

[divus]

We're in a recreation of modern day Paris and you just climbed up the side of a building. A plane would be strange?

[bakaomi]

Who would even be flying it?

[ they're the only ones here!! ]
