pgr shenanigans pt. 9
Kamui, holding a tray: I was trying to find silver M&Ms, but they didn't make any, so I spray-painted them!
Chrome: Okay... so those are poisonous, no one eat those.
Camu, silver on his mouth: Yeah, duh.
Chrome:
Wanshi:
Kamui:
Chrome: Go throw up.
Camu: I didn't eat any!
Chrome & Wanshi: Go throw up.
-----------------------------------------------
Exekial: Do you ever wanna talk about your emotions, Vanessa?
Vanessa: Obviously not.
Harley Jo: I do!
Simon: We know, Harley.
Harley Jo: I'm sad :(
Exekial: We know, Harley.
----------------------------------------------
Exekial: Whenever I get thrown into the Red Tide, it's always "Stop dying" and never "How was the Red Tide? Was the Red Tide fun? It looked like fun."
Lucia:
Vonnegut:
Chaos:
Exekial: ... I said that aloud, didn't I?
----------------------------------------------
(When testing out a new setting on Hamlet for an immersive video game)
Liv: Are you... sure this is safe? Connecting all these cables to the commandant's Mind Beacon seems a little... excessive.
Ayla: Oh, it's perfectly safe! We tested it ourselves.
Exekial: ... Something being "perfectly safe" doesn't mean much in my book.
Lee: You'd be surprised at how often our commandant takes something "perfectly safe" and turns it into a life-threatening mess.
Lucia: As much as I hate to admit it, Lee has a point.
Leonie: Pshawww, it'll be fine! (winks) Trust me!
Exekial: If you say so...
(Later, when Exekial is forcefully disconnected to prevent an aneurysm and rushed to the Star of Life for treatment)
Exekial: ... What was it called, Murphy's Law? "Something that can go wrong will go wrong"?
Liv, who is treating him: Commandant, please don't joke about this.
Exekial: If only I was joking.
Lucia, holding his hand: Just rest and focus on getting better.
Lee, throwing his arms up in frustration: I told you this would happen. But noooo, you guys just had to force him to try it.
(Leonie and Ayla bow their heads in shame as Lee scolds them)
----------------------------------------------
Vanessa, peering over the edge of the crater: Are you dead yet?
Exekial, laying at the bottom with his clothes scorched, revealing various bleeding wounds: I wish.
(It was a joke, but the Gray Ravens, particularly Lucia, scolded him for it)
----------------------------------------------
(During a mission to some mines, Gray Raven manages to avoid a deadly explosion. They sought refuge in one of the caves)
Lee, grabbing Liv to steady her as she stumbles over the edge: Easy, Liv. Be careful.
Liv, blushing slightly: Thanks, Lee.
(Lucia and Exekial follow behind. Liv immediately begins to check on everyone)
Liv: Is everyone okay? Lee, are you hurt? Lucia?
Lee: Just some minor scratches, nothing too serious.
Lucia: Same for me.
Liv: Alright, what about you, Commandant?
Exekial: ...
Lucia: ... Commandant?
(As one, they slowly turn to Exekial. Though he wears a neutral expression, his hand is not-so-subtly pressed to his side)
Exekial, a tad too casually: ... So do you want to hear the good news first, or the bad news?
Lucia: Exekial...
Liv: No...
Lee: Don't you dare.
Exekial, ignoring them: Right. So, the good news is, I didn't take a direct hit from that explosion.
Exekial: The bad news is—
(Faster than he can finish, Lucia is already in front of him, prying his hand away. Her hands come away red as her actions reveal a piece of metal lodged in his flank.)
Exekial: —I did get some shrapnel in my side.
(Lucia inhales sharply as Liv covers her mouth and Lee swears under his breath. Within a heartbeat, Exekial finds himself lying on the ground, his head in Lucia's lap, while Lee and Liv try to carefully remove the metal shard)
Exekial: ... At least I didn't fall into a coma this time?
Lee: Just be quiet.
----------------------------------------------
Exekial: Why does everyone keep trying to kill me specifically?
Vanessa: I dunno, must be your extremely punchable face.
----------------------------------------------
(An alternate take to CH32)
Qu, to Vanessa: You said you were going on some spiritual retreat!
Vanessa, sarcastically: Namaste.
Qu, to Exekial: And you're supposed to be dead!
Exekial: I got better?
----------------------------------------------
Vanessa: With all the things he's good at, there's gotta be something the Chief is terrible at doing!
Harley Jo, jokingly: Y'know, I'd bet he's a terrible kisser.
Lucia, immediately: No he's not.
Harley Jo: What.
Vanessa: What.
Simon: What.
Chrome: What.
Exekial: What.
