I guess not. Discarding spirits is in their nature.
[I AM FORCED TO RP A CHARACTER WHO WOULD AGREE WITH THIS]
I wouldn't mind teaming up with a sword spirit... but our ideals would clash, since I don't care about them like you do. [his lip curls, and he grins] Maybe we really are natural enemies?
[the way that buzen doesn't really mind any of this - but he kind of just laughs a little bit.]
Well, if we were on the same team and you wanted more time, then I'd try my best for you too, you know? You don't have to serve other people for me to like you.
[that said,]
But I'm making Matsu do all the heavy lifting with teams, to be honest. He's really great, but I think he's more particular than I am... so I'd rather be on a team with people he can get along well with, more than anything else.
[rang is really gonna think buzen and matsui are so insanely weird. he just gives Buzen a look at that first part,]
It's a team, not a relationship. [he says it like it's icky. i really apped someone who hates love and the concept of gous itself] You shouldn't have to like anyone.
[as for the second part... THE WAY RANG DOESN'T KNOW WHO MATSUI IS YET SO HE DOESN'T REALIZE HOW FUNNY THIS PLAN IS. he's just bitter at seeing a healthy(?) relationship between two people who care about each other, even if they're swords. love SUCKS!!!]
If he's anything like you, then we definitely won't get along.
[imagine TWO buzens? that's scary i don't know....]
I don't feel like I have to like people? I just do...
[now he looks confused. is he the one who got it wrong. oh no is HE weird. ah well, he also doesn't seem bothered by it after a brief second of uncertainty.]
Wait, are we not getting along? How much of this conversation have I been misunderstanding?
[yeah buzen you are weird (breaking bad jesse wail)]
You're the type who gets along with everyone, aren't you? They talk to you, they're nice to you.
That's the type I like the least. [it's actually the type rang is weak to but he lies about things and buzen will always believe his lies (pterodactyl scream)] We had a civil conversation, but that won't stop me from killing you. That wouldn't stop me from killing anyone, actually.
[ ? this is so hostile and buzen's eq is picking up on it, but he's also just a little perplexed]
Mm... that's fine. You don't have to convince me, or warn me. I don't blame you - everyone has to do what it takes to survive, right?
[because, unfortunately, the truth is pretty much the same for buzen. if he felt like he had a good reason to kill rang, he'd also do it in a heartbeat. he's also just a lot less direct about it. maybe the honesty(?) is actually something to admire.
but he tilts his head]
But I don't want to make you endure talking to me either, if you don't like me.
For someone who claims he doesn't like Buzen, he likes those words the most. The best kinds of people, if Rang had to pick, are the ones who are up front. Better the hands that cut than the ones that hold him with one and stab with the other. He immediately brightens, clearly pleased. this is probably confusing buzen's EQ even more.]
I don't like anyone.
[okay edgelord,]
But I still want to be entertained every now and then, since I get bored easily. And this conversation wasn't bad. It'd be interesting to see how long you last.
[smiles at the camera especially if rang dies before buzen]
[what's going on in this conversation, buzen doesn't really know but he thinks he was just given permission to keep existing, so that's good enough. he just laughs a little bit.]
Hopefully a long time! But I'll hope for the same for you.
Who knows? Maybe you'll even find someone you like. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Oh yeah, I guess I do - but that's being fast! I'm already fast! I guess I can do other stuff too...
But even my usual strength isn't here. [he rolls his shoulder experimentally] I helped move a pretty heavy machine, but it took more of a toll than I expected! I've built castles before, that should've been a piece of cake!

They'll be crossed for an eternity then. Isn't that bad for a sword?
[now he's just being snippy like the child he actually is]

[rang doesn't know that buzen DOESN'T EXIST and that's why he's so METAPHORICAL]
no subject
[he's laughing again at being called fragile]
Though I'm already not as strong as I usually am... That's a little frustrating.
no subject
It's more than a little.
[feeling weak is actually really gross and he'd never recommend it]
You have a power, don't you? Not that it really makes up for the rest.
no subject
But even my usual strength isn't here. [he rolls his shoulder experimentally] I helped move a pretty heavy machine, but it took more of a toll than I expected! I've built castles before, that should've been a piece of cake!
Ah well, I'll adjust.
no subject
[buzen is out here accepting what life throws at him and rang is determined to keep complaining about it,]

You're more of the healer type than I am.
no subject
[but he laughs regardless]
I dunno - I'm not really good at saving or healing people. But I guess it's nice of you to say so...?
no subject
[who's gonna go to HIM for healing when he's an asshole? even rang knows this]
It's your attitude. The best healers are the one who care for their patients, and I don't have that.
no subject
[literally swords go in for repairs and all that matters is they get back to wORK]
Mm... I mean, I hope we don't have to use it all that much or anything - but I'm sure you can still find a way to make your power work for you.
no subject
[he's just being contrary like he has been this entire thread]
no subject
[despite the CONTRARIAN NATURE, buzen looks genuinely worried at this misunderstanding]
I hope you stay safe! You can call for me if you ever need help too, you know?
no subject
I'd just have to help you back then. [gaROSS] I'm not some human who can just take what he's given and do nothing about it.
no subject
but he looks confused at this. why is he confused all the time i hate it here]
I help other swords and they don't make a fuss about it?
no subject
Gumihos always give back what they're given.
[tonelessly, like this is the only failing of his race]
Things like being saved or helped -- I'd be bound to whoever until that debt's satisfied, even if I never asked for it.
[granted, this is easily solved just by doing nice things back but rang doesn't do that]
