I understand the sensation you are speaking of, but I will also remind you that humans are very easily incapacitated by injuries, and... well, never mind. It is all irrelevant to you anyway.

[stirtheblood]

Yeah, never mind all that boring stuff.

We could try throwin' 'em at the dart boards in the pool hall?

[derailer]

Oh, that is a good idea. It does come with scores!

[stirtheblood]

Then let's do it!

[derailer]

[Sure. He will head in that direction.]

Have you been enjoying yourself with the task?

[stirtheblood]

Eh, it's been alright. I'm not big on doin' a bunch of tasks on command, but Ruggie wants to win, so I've been doin' a few. Some of 'em are fun.

[derailer]

Ah, really? Which have you found enjoyable?

[stirtheblood]

Well, I didn't know what a "trust fall" was, but Ruggie says I'm great at it. Told people a little about the Christma Sparking festival I ran into before... Oh, and I did a striptease, since that's basically tradition at this point.

[derailer]

I did wonder if that was one of them.

"Trust fall"... I think I entirely skimmed over that one. I don't know what it is myself.

[stirtheblood]

Ruggie didn't appreciate the strippin' as much. He just got on me about not wearin' many clothes to start with and the piercing prob'ly bein' a pain in the cold, or whatever.

Trust fall's when you just fall backwards from standin' and the other person has to catch ya. I scooped him up real dramatic at the last moment.

[derailer]

[He forgot the piercing would be part of this. Wait. That's because he didn't realize the piercing was still there at all?!]

I... I see! That does sound dramatic!

[stirtheblood]

Wanna try?

[derailer]

N—No, I think I can imagine it well enough on my own.

[stirtheblood]

Ya sure? Suit yerself.

[Vicious starts tossing around the balls in his hand as they walk. Incidentally he's doing a pretty good approximation of one-handed juggling.]

[derailer]

I am sure. Do you have any experience juggling, or is that also natural talent?

[He doesn't recognize specific juggling balls, but he at least knows of the concept of juggling things.]

[stirtheblood]

Hm?

[Vicious looks at his hand]

...Guess I'm just used to flippin' my guns around.

[it's his idle animation]

[derailer]

I suppose so. I think you would be a talented performer in general!

[stirtheblood]

Hey, I'm already a talented performer. Just a matter of what tune I'm performin' to.

[derailer]

Did you do some of the other more performative tasks, too?

[He shakes off snow from his coat as they enter the pool hall.]

[stirtheblood]

I danced some with Mizuki.

[said with a grin]

[derailer]

...What kind of dance?

[This sounds somehow ominous.]

[stirtheblood]

I showed off my moves a little and then she tried to punch me.

[derailer]

Did you ask her permission first?

[stirtheblood]

Huh? Oh, yeah. She wasn't punchin' me cause of the dancin', she was punchin' me 'cause I was talkin' about how fightin' is like dancin' too and I told her she could try.

[derailer]

...Hmmm. Well, I hope you both had fun.
