Some dumb roleplay thread, I guess (Warning, it's not dumb)

[KingofPhantoms]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell...

Atalanta: "The bakers here really know how to serve the people. Even the gods around are pleased"
---
-He tries not to be... And fails-
---
Rin: "See? No issue!"
Sakura: You'll feel it when you return home.
---
-Don did an "eep!" confirming it's him-
---
-Indeed, Kiara just relaxes as she swims in a few circles-

Again, your call. No worries if you wanna keep at least partly a surprise.

(That speaks volumes of their skill in this craft.)
___

-Tetra couldn't help but chuckle at that-
___

-And don't have enough money to pay for or buy other stuff?- :V
___

Amethyst: "Yo, calm down! It's just me!" -
___

(Maybe I should leave her to it. Gotta help with the clinic!)

-About to walk off-

-and do more team workstuff?-
---
-she was in prison herself during that time... she just heard legends, I think-
---
Ruby: "Heh. You're pretty optimistic."

Marco: (I need to be a reliable teammate for my friends, and the only way I can do that is to learn how to be a better teammate!)
___

-So she's unaware that Eclipsa is alive and well...Although, Star seemingly referred to her in the present tense when saying she doesn't "seem" to be malevolent-
___

Steven: "A lot of people tend to say that about me. I just think it's important to always have hope and never give up on doing what's right..." -Humble, but a bit concerned with how dangerous Gem stuff has gotten, not to mention the conflicts Chaldea faces-

-Rook is gonna try to them do a sweep kick to make Odin trip-

Ingrid: "Oh, hello Merry~ I was just trying to analyze some footage of Koyanskaya. Mind helping me out here? You do have a great eye on this sort of thing, after all." "And no need to worry about time; the door has been sealed off."

Shez: "Heh..." -the sword reappears in her hand- "Magic's better, honestly..." Still hurts so much...

-....did Jenny forget Coyle can fly? I think Jenny forgot Coyle can fly, so she can just... move over the blasts-
---
Weiss: "How was it?"
---
-but it exploded anyway? :V-
---
Harleen: "Oh she has? Why not talk about it, Sayori?"

-Odin tried to block with a slash of of of its swords-

Yukari: "Hmmmm, I suppose I have some free- What did you just call me?"

Mesogog: "I don't look down on those that wield magic. I simply prefer other methods. But so long my goal is done, I'm willing to lend a hand, as they say" -he tried to touch the magic wand-

-That's the goal the Assassins have, on to open the gates!-
---
Rin: "A little chaotic. I still had a good time! And even boughtnew clothes~!"
---
-It exploded- :V
---
Sayori: "Well... She's really considerate!"
Yuri/Natsuki: "Doubtful"

-Would the red projectile hit if Rook's sweep kick connects?-

-An annoying nickname, apparently?- :V

Star: "Ugh...you want a headache?! I'll give you a headache!" -About to try casting a spell-

-Jenny didn't forget, but I did, so that's retconned and Jenny aims the fire and ice beams in the air above them as well-

-And soon enough, the gates are opened?!-
___

(It's awesome that the trip went well! And oh, you did? What clothes did you buy?)
___

(...Uh oh...)
___

-Would they have been built otherwise?-

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

-Odin tried to block with a slash of of of its swords-

-Would they have been built otherwise?-

-what about Rook's sweep kick?-

Ingrid: "This is merely between you and I. I can call you with that old name."

Shez: "We have to... stop him..."

-fair enough lol, so Coyle got struck-

Coyle: "AH! YOU!"
---
Weiss: "I want to see them as well!"
---
-which caused both Yang and Pandora's hairs to be damaged :V-

Yang: "..." -looking at her even more damaged hairline- ".........................." -silent range-
---
Harleen: "Why else would she beg for you girls to be rebuilt? I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but..."

Marco: (I need to be a reliable teammate for my friends, and the only way I can do that is to learn how to be a better teammate!)

Steven: "A lot of people tend to say that about me. I just think it's important to always have hope and never give up on doing what's right..." -Humble, but a bit concerned with how dangerous Gem stuff has gotten, not to mention the conflicts Chaldea faces-

-exactly!-
---
Kamui: "Wait... why the present tense?"
---
Ruby: "Yeah! You get it!"

 

[KingofPhantoms]

-exactly!-
---
Kamui: "Wait... why the present tense?"
---
Ruby: "Yeah! You get it!"

Marco: (Not to mention adapt to all the kinds of fights Chaldea gets in...Karate's extremely helpful, but there's only so much an ordinary human like me can do without weapons or magic...)

___

Star: "...Uhh, well...she may kinda sorta be...still alive?"
___

Steven: "You've always seemed to be really optimistic, too, Ruby. But also definitely wiser than I am."

-there's Frank with his survival experience, quick thinking and creativity-

-but that's a lot more than just "weapons"
---
Kamui: "No way!"
---
Ruby: "I just have more experience on the field, being a hero and stuff. Wouldn't really say I'm wise."

Marco: (Frank's proof that sometimes you need to sharp and quick-thinking, too, though...)
___

Star: "Long story short, she was one of the people Rhombulus imprisoned in crystal, taught mom how to use the spell she needed to defeat Toffee, and recently thawed out..."
___

Steven: "You still have a lot more answers about stuff than I do. Maybe you tend to be a little more realistic about problems than I am like how the Crystal Gems are, too..."

-and some ideas crazy enough they just might work-

Kamui: "I see..."
---
Ruby: "Yeah, I get to see first-hand how rough the world is so it kinda keeps my expectations in check."

 

[Digital Hazard]

-indeed... Artemis happeh?-
---
Pandora: "I'm cute too though." :3
---
Azura: "Indeed I am, so I am very aware of those eyes of yours."
---
Byleth: "If you're gonna pry information out of strangers, perhaps doing it in the open isn't the best idea..."
---
-indeeeeeed-

-Indeed, smiling at her and patting-
---
Erika: "Just that I'm more so"
---
Fujino: "R-Right..."
Sakura: "Ooooh, you're the one with the eyes that can bend!"
---
???: "Oh my, I'm sorry! I forgot there's specifics per world!"
Scáthach: "Per world?"
---
-So he munched again-

Again, your call. No worries if you wanna keep at least partly a surprise.

Amethyst: "Yo, calm down! It's just me!" -
___

(Maybe I should leave her to it. Gotta help with the clinic!)

-About to walk off-

Veeeery well~

Atalanta: "A shame they get little rest...."
---
-More approachable than she expected from long-lived people that came from a book-
---
-She definitely won't- :V
---
Don: "Phew, thankfully! ..." Wait, this is the least responsible one!
Gai: "HI!" :D
---
-Yeah, mayhaps that'd be for the best!-

-Would the red projectile hit if Rook's sweep kick connects?-

-An annoying nickname, apparently?- :V

Shez: "We have to... stop him..."

-fair enough lol, so Coyle got struck-

Coyle: "AH! YOU!"
---
Weiss: "I want to see them as well!"
---
-which caused both Yang and Pandora's hairs to be damaged :V-

Yang: "..." -looking at her even more damaged hairline- ".........................." -silent range-
---
Harleen: "Why else would she beg for you girls to be rebuilt? I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but..."

-The sweep kick connects... but Odin was still very much standing-

Yukari: "You know only one person was ever allowed to call me that, hmph!"

-Magaing to touch the wand, Mesogog downright starts absorbing some of its power, and even then...-
Mesogog: "So this is the potential of this wand. All of the magic in the universe, infinite potential, and it's wielded by a teenager... What a waste"

Shuten: "Huh, are we missing something?"
Serenity: "...They should have opened now"
---
Rin: "Oh, I can so show you now~!" -would go for a leather jacket, boots and skirt!-
---
Rin: "..............................................."
Sakura/Medusa: She's dead.
---
Yuri: "To further mock us?"
Sayori: "No, that's not her goal"

 

[KingofPhantoms]

-and some ideas crazy enough they just might work-
---
Kamui: "I see..."
---
Ruby: "Yeah, I get to see first-hand how rough the world is so it kinda keeps my expectations in check."

Marco: (How the heck does he do it?)

___

Star: "So now she's just awaiting trial for people to find out if she's really evil or not..."
___

Steven: "I'm not surprised. And it's probably nothing like what you guys have seen, but I've definitely dealt with a few really dangerous situations myself. It...took me a while to realize how bad things can get..."

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

-awwwww~-

-thoughts?-
---
Pandora: "We're identically pretty."
---
Azura: "Yes. An incredible ability."
---
Byleth: "Now I'm intrigued..."
---
-IT GOOD-

Marco: (How the heck does he do it?)

___

Star: "So now she's just awaiting trial for people to find out if she's really evil or not..."
___

Steven: "I'm not surprised. And it's probably nothing like what you guys have seen, but I've definitely dealt with a few really dangerous situations myself. It...took me a while to realize how bad things can get..."

-survival instinct?-
---
Kamui: "They'll say she's evil no matter what..."
---
Ruby: "I could say the same about our fights with the Grimm."

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Veeeery well~

Atalanta: "A shame they get little rest...."
---
-More approachable than she expected from long-lived people that came from a book-
---
-She definitely won't- :V
---
Don: "Phew, thankfully! ..." Wait, this is the least responsible one!
Gai: "HI!" :D
---
-Yeah, mayhaps that'd be for the best!-

(...They really deserve more time off on a regular basis with the monstrous levels of orders they have to fulfill...)
___

Tetra: "So you four really came from a spell book?"
___

-Well, at least she won't have to worry about that while in Tremorton- :V
___

Amethyst: "Hey. Cool to see you guys and all, but...what the heck happened here?"
___

-So Alphys returns to the villa and clinic for now-

-survival instinct?-
---
Kamui: "They'll say she's evil no matter what..."
---
Ruby: "I could say the same about our fights with the Grimm."

Marco: (That's enough to make almost anyone fight for their life...Whether they do it smartly or not is another question.)
___

Star: "Knowing the High Commission? Even if they end up being right, it'll totally be rigged in their favor..."
___

Steven: "I guess everyone learns that life's more crazy than it seems at first eventually..."

-It's notable that Steven seems a bit more unsure about being able to deal with some o these dangerous things now, though...-

-what about Rook's sweep kick?-

Ingrid: "This is merely between you and I. I can call you with that old name."

Shez: "We have to... stop him..."

Yuri: "To further mock us?"
Sayori: "No, that's not her goal"

Susie: "AW, COME ON! Seriously?!"

-It's actually a rather personal matter for Yukari?-

Quit running and hiding, you coward!

Star: "GET THE HECK AWAY FROM MY WAND!" -Despite still being in pain, that actually only made her angrier as the wand's core started glowing...-

(...Why aren't the gates opening, then?)

(...Either they put a security fail safe in place, or we're not alone...)
___

(Whoa, that outfit looks so cool!)
___

-Well, Pandora still has to deal with Yang, too, and given her earlier conversation with Rin regarding Sakura, she's probably just exasperated more than mad. Now they just both have to worry about Yang- :V

(Yang, don't get upset at them. Rin was just trying stop you from hurting her...)
___

-She just wanted them to be able to be freed from the game, granting them freedom and the ability to live in reality...-

Rook: "What?!"

Shez: That seems bad...

Ingrid: "And I thought we were close enough for me to be the second..." -looking at the security footage and trying to open the door for the Assassins-

Coyle: "I'm just doing what it takes to win!"
---
Weiss: "It looks good on you."
---
Yang: "Heh... she ruined your hair too."

Pandora: "...You're not mad?"

Yang: "You got your comeuppance so I don't see any reason to be mad at you anymore. Rin, however..."
---
Harleen: "Monika's grown more than you'd think."

Marco: (That's enough to make almost anyone fight for their life...Whether they do it smartly or not is another question.)
___

Star: "Knowing the High Commission? Even if they end up being right, it'll totally be rigged in their favor..."
___

Steven: "I think you might have an even more optimistic outlook on than I do..."

-indeed...-
---
Kamui: "It's... unfortunate..."
---
Ruby: "I like to think mine is just... more grounded so it feels more realistic and that makes people believe in it more."

 

[KingofPhantoms]

-indeed...-

Kamui: "It's... unfortunate..."

Ruby: "I like to think mine is just... more grounded so it feels more realistic and that makes people believe in it more."

Marco: (...Maybe he can help, too. I've improvised plenty in fights before, and I'm still taking lessons from the Sabers, but he probably knows more about surviving dangerous situations than even I do...)
___

-Kamui curious about what Star's own opinion on the matter is?-
___

-I actually completely rewrote what I originally wrote for Steven there, but I was late to finish editing it, so instead I'll roll with his original dialogue and reedit and repurpose the new dialogue for his response here-

Steven: "That's probably it, honestly. Having hope is important, but you have to have some sound logic and inspiration to it, too. There's plenty of other people out there who know for a fact there's a better world we can fight for, but I guess everyone learns that life's more crazy than it seems at first eventually..."

-It's notable that Steven seems a bit more unsure about being able to deal with some to these dangerous things now, though...-

-he's covered wars, after all :V-

Kamui: "...What are your thoughts on it?"

Ruby: "Oh yeah, definitely!" -noticed Steven seemingly unsure- "....Seems you're learning that right now, looking at you."

Marco: (...He's not just making that part up, right?)
___

Star: -Sighs- "I don't know, She doesn't seem so evil based on what I've heard about her or what I've read in her chapter of the spell book, but I also haven't even met her yet..."
___

Steven: "...I'm alright. It's just...everything Chaldea's dealing with is one thing. I get that maybe there were no other options but to just...take out Toffee, but I tried to change his and Kama's minds once, and failed. And then there's also been a few times where I nearly got killed by the same Gems who I thought I could change...And that's all in addition to this Corrupted Gem stuff that we've already been dealing with for a while..."

-I mean, he's a journalist so the best way to see if he's bluffing is to see if he's done articles on it... something he might change the subject for-

-whether it's because the line is a bluff or he's simply not comfortable talking about those wars, we don't know-
---
Kamui: "It's hard to figure something out without your own perspective..."
---
Ruby: "Being a hero isn't always easy, Steven. Believe me, I've had to go through my own fair share of hardships. There are things I did that I often regret or think that maybe, just maybe could've turned out different. But things aren't always so easy...

Being a hero doesn't just mean saving the world or protecting those who can't defend themselves but also going through some really tough decisions that can challenge you mentally. It was easy when it was just the Grimm, but once I was facing actual people..."

-It's a mystery- :V

Marco: (Then again, depending on how bad those wars got or if he had to go undercover to get information on them, he might not just not like talking about those wars altogether...)
___

Star: "Mom says I'll get to meet Eclipsa eventually. I'm just not sure when that is..."
___

Steven: "...Well, there have definitely been times where I feel like I failed. That I could've done something different, or done something better, and then maybe it would've been okay and I could've saved or helped someone, even people who thought of me an enemy.

I know being a hero's not easy, but more recently things have mostly seemed to be getting even tougher. How do you get through it all...?"

-either way, does Marco resume his training?-
---
Kamui: "Have you asked?"
---
Ruby: "Honestly, if it weren't for my friends' support, I might have given up a long time ago. And you're not alone either, Steven. Don't forget that."

-Blake would've nodded in approval if she was still there, but she had FISH to take care of-

-He does, practicing karate moves on a training dummy, as well as some battle stances and more defensive moves with a training drone-
___

Star: "I've tried, and mom just says I can talk to her later. When is "later" or "eventually" supposed to be?! Ugh..."
___

-He's rather surprised to hear that, considering Ruby's optimism...But also understands that she's right about the importance of friends-

Steven: "...I guess the biggest challenges in life tend to be lot easier with good friends by your side. Family, too. Just, anyone who cares about and are there for you."

-he'll train until he's strong enough to protect those he cares about!-
---
Kamui: "It's very cryptic... Maybe I can try to make things more clear?"
---
Ruby: "Yeah! You get it! As long as there are people who can support you, it's really hard to knock you down."

-from that, Steven realizes the reason Ruby keeps her high optimism is because she's not alone?-

Steven: "...Wait, th-that's just it. You're really optimistic because of your friends and family!"

Marco: (I must be swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon!)
___

Star: "Huh?"
___

Steven: "...Wait, th-that's just it. You're really optimistic because of your friends and family!"

Revali: This kid's determined... I can respect that.

Kamui: "As one of Chaldea's Rulers, I naturally need to have some level of interest towards the happenings of a certain kingdom we're allied with, right? So perhaps I could try to see if you could properly meet Eclipsa?"
---
Ruby: "Well, I was already pretty optimistic at the start. But as things kept getting worse and worse, it's their support that allowed me to keep hope. So the better thing to say would probably be that I stayed optimistic because of them."

 

[Digital Hazard]

-awwwww~-

-thoughts?-
---
Pandora: "We're identically pretty."
---
Azura: "Yes. An incredible ability."
---
Byleth: "Now I'm intrigued..."
---
-IT GOOD-

Artemis: Now she's being plenty cute~
---
Erika: "But I'm a child and you're an adult, sonit's in different ways. Even if I remember things my brain still works different... I'm surprised I can articulate this much in this age!"
---
Fujino: "...Also a dangerous one..."
Sakura: "That could be said about most here..."
---
???: "I suppose we are of each other, hahaha..."
Scáthach: "And I also feel bothered"
---
-He keeps eating!-

(...They really deserve more time off on a regular basis with the monstrous levels of orders they have to fulfill...)
___

Tetra: "So you four really came from a spell book?"
___

-Well, at least she won't have to worry about that while in Tremorton- :V
___

Amethyst: "Hey. Cool to see you guys and all, but...what the heck happened here?"
___

-So Alphys returns to the villa and clinic for now-

Atalanta: "It surprises me no one has tried to stop them..."
---
Signum: "Correct. We were created by it to obey whoever wielded it"
---
-But when she returns, welp- :V
---
Don: "......Uh, nothing!" -lying-
---
-She'd see Lusamine finished with chores-

Susie: "AW, COME ON! Seriously?!"

-It's actually a rather personal matter for Yukari?-

Quit running and hiding, you coward!

Star: "GET THE HECK AWAY FROM MY WAND!" -Despite still being in pain, that actually only made her angrier as the wand's core started glowing...-

(...Why aren't the gates opening, then?)

(...Either they put a security fail safe in place, or we're not alone...)
___

(Whoa, that outfit looks so cool!)
___

-Well, Pandora still has to deal with Yang, too, and given her earlier conversation with Rin regarding Sakura, she's probably just exasperated more than mad. Now they just both have to worry about Yang- :V

(Yang, don't get upset at them. Rin was just trying stop you from hurting her...)
___

-She just wanted them to be able to be freed from the game, granting them freedom and the ability to live in reality...-

Rook: "What?!"

Shez: That seems bad...

Ingrid: "And I thought we were close enough for me to be the second..." -looking at the security footage and trying to open the door for the Assassins-

Coyle: "I'm just doing what it takes to win!"
---
Weiss: "It looks good on you."
---
Yang: "Heh... she ruined your hair too."

Pandora: "...You're not mad?"

Yang: "You got your comeuppance so I don't see any reason to be mad at you anymore. Rin, however..."
---
Harleen: "Monika's grown more than you'd think."

-Not just that, but from the nearest reflective surface, they heard a strong squawk, and they saw that just like how Ouja had what seemed like a snake familiar, a large phoenix arrived to assist Odin-

Yukari: "I just feel that with Renko, it was... Something more when she used to call me that... Even if it was because she couldn't fully pronounce my name" -she was assisting while they spoke, double-tasking-

-Mesogog wasn't an idiot, knowing it was a sign to get away from the wand, but also taking the chance to shoot laser beams from his eyes at Star-

-SUDDENLY AN ALARM SOUNDED, AND EVERY MONITOR DISPLAYED A COBRA IMAGE IN ALARM-
---
Rin: "Riiiight~?" -posed a bit-
---
Rin:
---
Natsuki: "As if I was to forget everything she did"
Sayori: "Guys, please..."
Yuri: "She drove you to hang yourself!"
Kiara: "She didn't think she'd go that far"

-a cute little cat, just like Atalanta~-
---
Pandora: "Well, you're not exactly human so it makes sense you'd work a bit differently than other humans."
---
Azura: "With enough control, you can mitigate a lot of the danger towards our allies."
---
Byleth: "What is your name, strange girl?"
---
-until plate empty-

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Don: "......Uh, nothing!" -lying-

-She'd see Lusamine finished with chores-

(...Why has no one tried to stop them, anyway? It'd take a massive weight off the kitchen staff's shoulders...)
___

Tetra: "No matter who it was...What exactly was this book's original purpose?"
___

-Still not as bad as Ishtar getting into debt on a semi-weekly basis- :V
___

Amethyst: -Visible doubt-
___

Whoa, look at this place now! Y-You took care of those chores in almost record time...

Revali: This kid's determined... I can respect that.

-It reminds him of himself a bit?-
___

Star: "You would do that for me?"
___

Steven: "That makes sense...Actually, I think I can even relate to that."

-The Crystal Gems, his dad Greg, his best friend Connie and later on his close friend and older sister figure Mash have all been there for him during the biggest hurdles in life, after all-

Rook: "What?!"

Yuri: "She drove you to hang yourself!"
Kiara: "She didn't think she'd go that far"

Susie: "Why is that so cool...? Wait, ugh, never mind! Let's just focusing on kicking this thing's ass!" -Fires purple projectiles at the phoenix-

-So it really is personal for her...-

That's all you're trying to do. Win every last fight at any cost, through any means, just to be the top fighter of the entire freaking universe!

-Would Star have enough time to cast a spell before the lasers hit?-

(What the-?!)

(We're definitely not alone...)

(And what's with the Cobra?!)
___

(You look like a biker! It actually reminds me of some of Yang's outfits, but more suited for your favorite colors.)
___

(Yang, please calm down...)
___

-So she wasn't trying to manipulate them to the sheer extent that she ultimately did?-

Ingrid: -also multi-tasking- "Understandable... What of Maribel then?"

-Shez tried to get behind Mesagog and go for a stab-

Coyle: "Well, how could I be the best if I didn't use any options necessary?"
---
Weiss: "If only you knew how to drive a bike."
---
Yang: "Why'd you blow us up, Tohsaka?!"
---
Harleen: "Looking at how the game happened, a lot of the events are things that went way further than she planned. She played with stuff way stronger than she can understand and things kept backfiring horribly. She really just wanted you girls to be less likeable by the player, never had it crossed her mind to end lives on purpose until the passings of Sayori and Yuri." Might as well be fully honest, here.

Kamui: "Of course I would."

[KingofPhantoms]

-a bit, yeah-

Kamui: "Of course I would."

Ruby: -ruffles his head- "I knew you'd get it."

-He just doesn't seem to be struggling quite as much...At least not with the combat art he's currently practicing, however-

___

Star: "That'd be great!" "I might actually finally have some answers about this weird mystery! Everything having to do with Toffee and the fritz were complicated enough already..."
___

-Steven chuckles a bit at that, cheered up-

Steven: "I always try my best to always be there for others, especially my friends. I shouldn't forget that my friends are always there for me, too...Thanks, Ruby, I needed to hear that..."

___

Star: "...Hey, are you okay?" -Could tell something was off by Kamui's tone-

Star: "Okay, that's good! You just sounded a little worried for a second."
___

Steven: "Neither I nor they could argue with that." "See you later, Ruby!" -Waves at her as she left-

-It's not exactly surprising that Steven and Ruby have also become friends with how similarly optimistic and friendly they are-

Yukari: "Fine then. Sometimes Yuyuko would call me by such, but Merry is strictly forbidden"

Mesogog: "You may hold great power, but without thinking it's wasted..."

-The cobra in the image spoke-

-They at least care about each other, they're just too prideful to admit it- :V

You might want to save that cash until you get home... -Talking as they walk out of the store-
___

Amethyst: "Seems like a pretty destructive accident...Which is nothing new around here, to be fair."

You've been totally helpful, not just today, but around here recently in general, and I'm sure Aya thinks the same. No need to worry.

I get using a lot of options. Honor's not important if your life might be at stake. But after you become the best, then what?

(A snake virus?!)

I am once again getting Ninjago vibes
___

(That's fair. Flying powers make vehicles less necessary.)
___

She probably accidentally dropped it while trying to keep up with you two and get you to drop the fight...

Yang: "......Yeah, she's clumsy enough to do that, I guess... And you." -staring at Pandora- "Seems Rin's little blunder actually damaged you just as much as you damaged me, so I don't feel like killing you anymore. You got your karma already so what's the point, am I right?" "I'm still gonna be waiting for an apology though."

Pandora: "I've got an even better idea. Ever heard of a Rewind Spring?"

Yang: "...Can't say I have."

-Pandora whispers it in Yang's ear-

Yang: "...Okay, that's even better than an apology. Where is it?"

-more whispering-

Yang: "...Alright. Let's go there! But if it turns out to be a trap, I'll make you regret it."
