5th Joke [Written]

[Private | Fail filter]

It isn't fair. Why do they always get taken? Why isn't there anything we can do to stop this? I hate this place. ...But I know I can't leave. There isn't anywhere for me to go back to. Living here is cruel and I can't even tell them.

I wish Shinpachi was back already.

[End]

So...who has a pet here? Preferably cute ones.

Can I see them?

I dunno. It's...kinda nice. [He's alive here, after all. He stares down at the cup again, wishing he didn't keep asking the wrong questions to this girl.]

Don't always have to go doin' something, do we? Just...being here is kinda nice.

[Another who is content to stay. She still doesn't understand. No matter what this place can offer is the price really worth it?]

I would rather be my own person.

[Then some rat in a cage.]

[To him, it is. But explaining that would mean explaining a lot of stuff.]

Who says you can't be here? It ain't like they take that away from ya'. Your freedom, maybe, but even that can't really be taken 'less you decide to give it.

You seem like you're a bit of an optimist, Hei-chan.

[It's almost endearing]

I miss the sea. I thought I would never see it again. And then when I did, I thought I would never leave it and then I came here. What I had was already taken.

[Can't be much more than an optimist after cheating death. He perks up at the mention of the sea though.]

Oh! Oh!! There's a beach here! And an ocean! And I dunno how big it is, but it's gotta be big, right?

There's an end to it. A barrier.

[Does no one read the journal thoroughly?]

And, in any case, even if you sailed it, you would have no where to go but right back where you started.

Oh. [Fail. He looks down, a bit saddened at that.]

Guess so. Can't imagine goin' a lot of places. I didn't travel too much 'cept for work. I guess I can see how you'd get kinda stir-crazy bein' stuck here.

I enjoy traveling. You should try it sometime. There are some interesting places even here.

[That is one small consolation, she supposes. At least it's not completely boring]

Wouldn't know where ta' go here. Usually just hang out 'round town and keep an eye on the house.

[Wow, he just realized how boring that sounds.]

Where'd you suggest going?

[She leans forward a bit and stares at you]

Into the forest. As deep as you can go. As dark as it can get. And see what happens.

[He'll lean in a little too, until he hears that forest part.]

...............Isn't that where Moro-sama lives?

Moro-sama?

[That is a name she hasn't heard]

She's a GIANT WOLF. [And to indicate just how big, he throws his arms up in the air - thankfully after he puts his cup down.] GIANT!

And she said she eats people.

Eats people.

How fascinating. Have you seen her? Have you ever seen her actually eat someone?

[Now you really have her attention]

Saw her, yeah, and even talked to her but a bit, but I ain't seen her eat anyone yet. Said she doesn't like the taste, but that she does it sometimes.

Kinda freaky, huh?

She sounds wonderful. Will you take me to meet her?

[After all it is always best to approach giant creatures with someone who has yet to be eaten by them]

[This face, Robin. This face.]

...I just said she eats people and you wanna go and say hello?

[This face back at you]

Of course.

[Why? Don't you?]

...............

[After staring with that same face for awhile, he suddenly doubles over and laughs.]

Hahaha! Man, Nico-san, you gotta be the most interestin' person I've met so far. Most people'd turn and run, but not you!

Alright then. I'll see if I can't find Moro-sama somehow and get you two to meet.

[You certainly are a strange one but more than a little amusing.]

Thank you. I look forward to it.

[She finishes her drink, taking a moment to enjoy the warm kick to her stomach and simply watches, wondering what will happen next.]

Yup, no problem! You can rely on Heisuke!

[He grins and reaches out for her cup.]

Want somethin' else?

Are you trying to get me drunk?

[Not that she would be adverse to him trying such a tactic]

Oh. Are you a lightweight? Sorry! Didn't know.

[Because he isn't really trying to get her drunk, although that'd be pretty fun. He doesn't quite get what she's implying though. Boy has a thick skull.]
