[slashay]

Mmm, I guess we can't do much about trying to build any sort of onsen ourselves, then...

[A sigh... Their USELESS METAL POWERS.]

But maybe just practicing more with what we've got will help us use more colors in general?

[countermeasures]

Perhaps not, but once the base structure is built we could strengthen it so it would last longer...

[she hums.]

But I think that's a good idea. It's like any other skill, isn't it? You have to practice it before you can do more than just the basics.

[slashay]

Good plan, good plan!

[Their ROCK SOLID ONSEN... He sighs a little at that, though.]

God, learning a new weird skill is definitely not what I thought I'd be doing with my time here. [Though he figures it'll eventually contribute to his ultimate goal of Escape.]

[countermeasures]

Me, either, but as long as it helps us get back...

[slashay]

Yeah...

[A thoughtful pause, and then:] What do you think about those guys, anyway?

[countermeasures]

[(checks what day this thread is happening)]

Well... the way they just showed up so suddenly earlier is a little suspicious. But if they're telling the truth, it will be good to have them on our side.

[slashay]

[me in so many threads]

Yeah... I almost feel kinda bad for 'em since some people were already giving 'em grief. If they're being honest, this situation's gotta suck for those guys just as much.

[countermeasures]

If they're telling the truth, it really must.

...but I suppose it's too soon to know if they are, isn't it? Still... they haven't been hostile to us. I don't see any reason not to proceed as if they're being honest, as long as we keep our guards up. Trusting them wholeheartedly would be a little foolish, but I'd like to believe they're being sincere about this.

[slashay]

That's about where I'm at, too.

[As much as he'd been giving other people grief about their paranoia, it's not like he's stupid enough to blindly trust strangers in an alien world when they're the only ones who seem to have a leg up on information.]

I'm kinda pissed, though... I was hoping we'd just be able to beat up some kidnappers and get back home.

[countermeasures]

That would have been easier, wouldn't it? I'm a little disappointed we can't do that, too, but...

[she huffs]

...we'll just have to get to the bottom of whatever's going on here.

[slashay]

Why's nothing ever easy when you need it to be, huh? [A SIGH. He's so harrowed hello!!]

I hope other people here are better at figuring out complicated stuff than I am...

[countermeasures]

Well... the good thing is there are a lot of us here. Some of us can come up with ideas, and others can build on those ideas.

I'm sure you'll have insights to contribute that others wouldn't, Sir Kashuu.

[slashay]

[She says that but wait until she watches all 3 swords drop their one shared braincell in trial.]

Mmm... True, true! I'll definitely try my best, at least. You know exactly what to say, huh?

[countermeasures]

I just say what comes to mind.

[slashay]

A natural speaker, then!

[countermeasures]

[she seems amused]

And you're a natural at giving compliments, I see.

[slashay]

[He just does a little half-bow from his seated position... If he was standing he'd do a flouncy curtsy.]

People like you are easy to compliment, so it's not hard work for me at all! There are some guys it's a real struggle with, though.

[He sounds so amused as he says this the BUTTHEAD.]

[countermeasures]

I think I can imagine some of the people you mean.

[there are some people she's met that it would be very difficult to compliment.]

[slashay]

[JUST NODDING IN UNDERSTANDING... He gets it... He gets it.]

All the ones who're most like raccoons, for sure.

[countermeasures]

[sHE IS TRYING SO HARD NOT TO BUST OUT LAUGHING AT KASHUU CALLING THEM RACCOONS]

[slashay]

[HEH... He just looks openly amused about it because he is, in fact, a gremlin.]

You can laugh, I won't tell! It's true, anyway. I mean, I literally had to stop a guy from eating a hot dog outta the trash.

[countermeasures]

Oh, no...

[THAT'S NOT HYGIENIC? but yeah she's laughing]

I hope he didn't end up with a stomachache.

[slashay]

He didn't! But only 'cuz I didn't let him grab the hot dog. He said he wasn't actually gonna eat it, but he totally had that feral raccoon look in his eye...

[Now Kashuu's just teasing like a PUNK.]

[countermeasures]

Lucky for him you were there!

[slashay]

Yep! And he's probably so embarrassed that he won't try it again. Not that he'd need to now, I guess...

[Their verdants with their handfuls of food...]
