[eh,]

Sure...? But I didn't think that you'd say that so bluntly, Rang-san. Don't you want to win and return to life?

I won't roll over and accept erasure, if that's what you're worried about. But if someone else decides to go through with it, then I'd obviously be the first choice. And the longer I survive, the more people will keep trying.

[he sounds cheered up by this hellish prospect,]

[ . . . ? he tilts his head, even as he accepts his healing,]

If I can ask... why do you like violence so much?

I don't mind the violence. It's seeing them fail at something they want so badly that I like the most.

[i really apped such a character. Rang finishes up his healies, and then gives Buzen a hearty pat on the arm,]

Obviously, that doesn't include anyone on our team, since I would be failing too.

[so bdsm team is safe grits teeth]

[ . . . he looks thoughtful about this, before he's just going to outright say it:]

Rang-san, if I find out that you're going out of your way to hurt people, I'm going to break myself. And even if I don't want him to, I know Matsu will follow. So you'll be down two teammates.

Or, if it really makes me angry, I'm going to ask someone from another team to break me, so they get the points.

If people incidentally get hurt, and you're just enjoying it on the sidelines, I won't stop you. But I don't want to win by trying to erase other people.

[buzen really waited until they were LOCKED IN to fucking say this to him]

[Rang laughs -- the sound more startled than malicious, the hand on Buzen's arm sliding up to sling itself around his shoulders as he leans in against him,]

...Isn't the obvious solution here to kill me? That would solve all your problems, and Matsui would get to live too.

[He's not dismissive of Buzen's promise -- breaking must be the very worst thing a sword could do. He just finds it funny that even then, Buzen would sacrifice himself. they really waited until they were LOCKED IN to have this conversation,]

Don't worry. I'm not going to go out of my way to do anything, not when this game is going to do it for us. [he doesn't mean rnged murders, he's just predicting the incredible post and pre trial depression everyone will have, because of course he's noticed the mostly cooperative vibe of this group, and how many people asked the reapers if "we could all tie so that we can all win"]

...But it's a different story if someone comes for me first. I'll kill them, no matter if you like them or not.

[did buzen maybe wait to be locked in to make sure that he (and by extension, matsui) exist as collateral against rang. maybe. but he won't tell anyone that. :') sometimes tsuru's teachings really resonate in such questionable ways in our favorite gou.

but buzen will accept the lean, and he'll actually let his arm wrap around rang in turn, supporting him automatically. he laughs a little bit too, and shakes his head.]

I don't dislike you, Rang-san. If someone comes after you first, you should erase them. I plan on doing the same. I won't go down without a fight.

[everyone in chroma like BUZEN WOULD BE NICE EVEN TO HIS KILLER - WRONG! BUZEN WOULD KILL FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER]

But I want to help you win, because winning is important to you. I'll do everything I can to help our team, because I don't like letting people down.

I just thought it was important to mention what I will or won't accept, if we're going to be working together.

[It's a good plan, now Rang just has to fall in love with these swords so it'll really stick him where it hurts, or they sword poly with several teams so everyone else can kill Rang instead.

For now, he wrinkles his nose just the slightest bit at 'I don't dislike you', but he'll take it, because it's better than 'I like you'. There is a nuance here that Rang will accept, but no farther.]

I would have been fine if you just kept it to yourself and sprung it on me later.

[because Rang is always expecting to be betrayed!! Though he has the teensiest sliver of more trust for the swords, he thinks spirits are pretty terrible too. just look at him,]

I'll remember what you said, as long as you do the same.

[he shakes his head at that - ]

I don't like doing that. [even though he has. even though, if he's revived, he will continue to. if buzen ever has a choice, he would rather be straightforward and honest. it's a strange thing this place gives him, when his life doesn't.] That's not fair to you, either. I think you had an idea of what you were signing up for when you ended up agreeing with it being me and Matsu, but I still think it's important for you to know.

I'm not going to kill you unless you give me a reason to. I'll protect you and your happiness whenever I can.

I'd like to win, with as many people as possible, but if all we get are these next seven weeks, I'd like to spend more time with you. That's all.

[EVEN THOUGH HE HAS,,,, Rang is of the opinion that Buzen is stupid, but not like that stupid. He's just stupid about things that don't matter, like BDSM. Even now, he thinks this is very genuine and true of Buzen wanting to protect him, just like he thinks it's very genuine and true that Buzen will break himself.

How scary. Maybe spirits really are the worst?]

Alright, I get it.

[STOP, STOP WITH THE HAPPINESS AND PROTECTING! Rang keeps hugging Buzen, he sounds both resigned and grumpy]

We need to all spend more time together anyway. [grits teeth] We need to practice using our psychs, and get used to the way we all fight, or whatever D does.

[D doesn't strike him as a combatant but he's got the poison fingies, so]

[hugging is fine! given that rang is grumpy but not altogether against it, buzen will just laugh and bring both of his arms up to pull hang into a proper embrace.]

How do you fight, Rang-san?

Matsu gets intense. He's way more brutal than I am - but I'm pretty fast. In general, we shouldn't lose to anyone in swordplay.

[they're

literal swords, after all.]

It would be pretty embarrassing if you did.

[they're swords who also have swords, unless you're about to tell me that buzen and matsui don't carry their swords around for some reason.]

I'm brutal and fast too, but it's harder to just rip people apart here... [cursed with the nerf] But that's what my axe is for.

[to do the cutting]

Eh... That's a pretty straightforward weapon.

[just, thoughtfully,]

Guess it's good that you can defend yourself too, since you're also tasked with healing.

Matsu and I are at least pretty good at taking a beating - we can normally last until the battle's over until we need to check ourselves again.

[it's so stupid but unfortunately there is a canon reason so i have to live with rang being an axe guy,]

Good to know. [here, rang would say something sensible like 'i'll save the support for d' but he has truly never fought with a team before. he has yuri but she mostly follows his orders,]

I wonder if D is as weak as he looks.

[code for do i have to take care of that guy.... anyway rang starts rubbing at the blood that's still on buzen's arm, sorry]

Edited (MY TAG) 2023-06-15 00:37 (UTC)

[okay two things:]

You think Dee-san looks weak?

And do you like blood too, Rang-san? Do I need to mentally prepare myself for this...

[WHY ARE YOU RUBBING IT]

He doesn't seem like the fighter type... I guess he does have T-chan though.

[as for the second,]

Not as much as Matsui does. But I'm still curious about the taste.

[he licks it...................... im sorry dana]

[

sighs]

Matsu doesn't do that, at least.

So he likes eating red foods, but he doesn't eat blood?

[wow.... PICKY]
