...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!! ]

[alittlefuninstead]

...I wonder if Justice would be willing to let me borrow some of his stuff to rig an auto-pilot system. Then we wouldn't have to worry about it.

[bakaomi]

[ why are they seriously talking about it ]

He probably would. Especially since you're not competing anymore.

[alittlefuninstead]

[Idiot teenage boys.]

Even if we were competing I think he'd let me if I asked. When we head back, I'll pay him a visit and see what he says.

[bakaomi]

I wonder if we could fly it...

[ he's never flown a plane.......

probably because he's not a licensed pilot in any capacity ]

[alittlefuninstead]

How hard could it be? It's probably just like North's sleigh and that seemed to work out just fine.

[Smashcut to: Taka and Jack flying a plane into the eiffel tower.]

[bakaomi]

... I don't know about the magical sleigh or airplanes to disagree with you.

[alittlefuninstead]

Well now I've got to ask. Have you ever heard anything about Santa's sleigh? [Can Jack blow Taka's mind again with more bullshit from his past life?]

[bakaomi]

There's reindeer that fly it, right?

Rudolph...

[alittlefuninstead]

Welll...I've never met Rudolph, but the sleigh's gone through a few upgrades since then. North likes to keep up with the times.
