your head must be awfully thick then, dumbass! < /puffs her cheeks out and moves her hands to rest on her hips; yeah but! that’s the thing! if something … happens to you and we’re alone they’ll totally think it was my fault, and not the fact that you’re being so goddamn stupid! … … .. </she watches him start to fade out, she can hardly imagine what he’s thinking about but from the look on his face … it can’t be good; sayuri starts to understand and she sighs, jogging to meet him; hey … stop looking so sad. i understand now!  i’ll teach ya how to fight, no problem! < /she slings an arm around his shoulder and guides them towards the city park she saw earlier; huh? that shit inspired you? niwa-chan scolded me for that … -she blows strands of hair away from her face; i’ll … i’ll do my best to help you out! i think it’s super noble of you how you want to protect someone you cherish. even if the people here only seem to be a bunch of pussies and whack jobs … </gives him a noogie; a little too roughly; but ! i’ve got a few rules to set before we begin! you ready to hear ‘em?

... you're right. i suppose i am thick-headed / shrugs off the notion, but gives her his attention when she starts to speak again. ) should i sign liability waivers first? that way you'll have documentation that i agreed to any risks presented when training with you, and the others can't blame you for anything. then again .. documentation won't stop them from going against you if you kill me / pauses for a moment. ) but i don't think you would kill me. not that you couldn't but you wouldn't. ... ! / blinks, and the surprise can be heard in his voice. ) .. i'm sorry for looking sad, but thank you for taking me on as your pupil. i'll try not to disappoint you ~ / smiles gently. ) she was merely concerned for hisakawa-dono's safety along with yours. fighting amongst ourselves brings forth other negative emotions that could potentially cause our own downfall. it's imperative not to fight against each other, but with each other. at least .. i believe that is why she stopped you two from fighting. then again, she seems the type who is a pacifist regardless of the situation. thank you for doing your best to help me. you know .. you're really not a bad person, ueda-dono / soft laughter. ) .. it is not that noble. i've been expected to take care of others since before arriving here. would you not do the same for someone you care about? they have their good and their bad traits, yes, but none of us deserve to die especially when most of us are still just children .. / holds in his wincing, thinking this to be a sort of pre-test, and just tries to pay attention to her as much as possible. ) yes, ma'am, i'm listening.

/bites her lip with a small frown as she stands outside the door, a pair of underwear clenched in her hand and gives a rather irate sigh as she raises her hand, tapping against the room as she leans on the heels of her feet. ) suwa-kuuun~! are you in?

[danseurnoble]

/ frowns as he glances around the room from his position on the bed. though it isn't particularly cluttered, it's still too much furniture and other obstacles in the way. ) i'll have to go somewhere else it seems .. / clad in a short-sleeved white shirt and the standard black tights, he's in the midst of pulling his pants on over the tights when he hears a knock at the door. ) just a moment! / pulls up his pants and slips on a belt through the loops as he opens the door; blinks in confusion at the girl in front of him before bowing his head briefly. ) erizawa-dono .. it is a surprise to see you here, though not an unpleasant one / rubs the back of his neck as he speaks. ) may i help you with something?

huuuh? practice alone? g-ROSS! what are you getting at you perv?! < /she shrieks out rather loudly; over-dramatic as usual; … except she likes the sound of ‘yes ma’am’ so she tries to simmer down; well ~ i guess you don’t haaaave to be strong! but it’d help tons!  which is why all of you should leave the brutal stuff to m— … … … .. EHHHHH WHAT?! < /at his request she stops in her tracks, almost falling forward but she catches her balance; are you serious, kid?! don’t fuck with me, alright! -sayuri shouts at him from where she’s standing; a dancer boy like you … -she grits her teeth; learning to fight? from me? … … … you better have a damn good reason. ‘cause i’m not going to teach you just so you can fuckin’ kill someone, you hear me?!

[danseurnoble]

h - huh ? / furrows his eyebrows in confusion. ) i'm afraid i don't understand. i don't think there's anything perverted about training together, ueda-dono. besides, if we were to practice alone, you don't have to hold back on fighting since the only person in danger would be me. is that really alright ? we're a group so we should help each other out ... / trails off and stops jogging when she starts to scream; just stares at her calmly. ) i'm serious. you have the wrong idea, ueda-dono / frowns and glances down. ) i .. do not want to learn how to fight so that i can kill. i want to fight to protect. the last thing i remember before i woke up here was watching my family get murdered .. and i ... .. i ... / bites his lip as his breathing catches in his throat; the scenes of their corpses lying in heaps plays in his mind, and a sickly feeling starts to settle in but he gulps and continues talking through it. ) i .. was unable to protect them ... because i did not know how to fight .. / clenches his fist; struggling to look her in the eyes but he eventually does so with his own determined gaze. ) watching your altercation with hisakawa-dono reminded me of that. i'm weak. i know that. i want to change though. i don't want to just die without even being able to defend myself. and if i ever find someone here that i cherish, i want to be able to protect them, to have them rely on me. that is my reason for wanting to learn from you .. so will you please teach me how to fight ?

… ? < /sayuri turns her head at the sound of her name, but winces when she sees nori jogging up to her; instead of stopping she spins herself around and jogs backwards; and she can’t help but scrunch her nose because there’s something about him that just doesn’t sit well with her —maybe it’s his talent, or the air about him she finds much too plain; nonetheless, she’s not that excited about his request; ehhh? do you have to ? can’t it wait? </she looks at him again and apparently it can’t; … alright, alright. try and keep up though?  </she wants to trip him and run off, but she refrains and only turns her body to face forward again; honestly, i don’t think you’d be much help … … </she mumbles; so was there something you wanted to talk about or were you just lying? 

[danseurnoble]

i suppose it could, but i wanted to ask now since there was time to practice alone if you agreed .. yes, ma'am ! / nods, quickening his pace a little. ) people don't have to be physically strong to help out .. / small frown. ) but you're right in thinking that i'd probably be more help if i was stronger which brings me to what i wanted to say .. ueda-dono, i would like it if you could teach me how to fight / narrows his eyes slightly in case she looks back to him. ) i understand your technique may not be the standard .. but i prefer your style of fighting. it works more effectively in real life than typical martial arts.

ueda-dono! / jogging after her, and begins to slow down once he reaches her. ) if it's not asking too much, may i come along with you? i .. want to talk. / glances down briefly. ) it also isn't safe for you to venture out here alone even if you're the strongest person in our group. we don't know what's out here .. and in case something goes wrong, i can help.

ROBOTS OR DINOSAURS?

? that depends upon what you mean by it. depending on the circumstances, robots could be better than dinosaurs or vice versa. if you’re just going by aesthetics, i have to say i’d prefer robots though which usually have sleek, interesting designs.
