[ well. okay then, that's a bigger reveal than he expected to get here. he blinks, but doesn't look terribly disconcerted by this. there's a big difference between a guy who goes after other murderers and a serial killer, after all. ]

Huh.

[ pulls up shu's profile to read his skills again... ]

...Yeah, I guess that kind of makes sense.

[ just watches him bring up profiles and squint at them like yeah this makes sense. ]

A few people have been surprised.

[ he genuinely thought it was kind of a giveaway that he has ‘sniper’ in his profile, that’s so specific. ]

Really? I mean, sniping is kind of...

[ it's pretty much soldier, cop, or this. ]

Specific? Yeah. It kind of is.

[ in a way he's not surprised though. ] Most people probably assumed I'm ex-military or something.

That's definitely one of the few other options, yeah...

Seems like a pretty big volunteer gig, though.

[ is this like a batman thing or ]

[ yeah he's the batman. ]

... I guess. It's something my Teacher started. Technically, I inherited it from her when she died.

Nnnnot an average school teacher, I'm guessing...

Well. That knowledge is probably more useful here than you thought it was going to be, huh? Unfortunately.

No, but she did teach me most things I know, so she's Teach.

[ she probably did also teach him school stuff too, which makes this even funnier. ]

... I'd rather it wasn't, and that I don't have to use it. [ truly. ] Then again, none of us really expected to be here so anything we have to our advantage is more useful than we'd expected.

More useful than it should be for a delivery driver, especially.

[ and back in the void so you can have one of the weirdest memories i have lmao... cw for like?? some weird cartoony body horror sort of??? idfk man ]

... Do you want me to pretend I never saw that?

I mean, I think I'm the one person who came out of that looking like a reasonable human being, so I'm okay with it. [ ... ] Just forget those other guys were related to me.

...

[ YOU'RE SEXTUPLETS. ]

Yeah, unfortunately -- apart from the ones you were arguing with, you all look pretty similar. Strong family resemblence.

[ he's not going to tell him there was still a resemblence with the other ones though. he knows how to pick his battles. ]

Edited 2024-03-26 08:55 pm (UTC)

Yeah, but if you can pretend you didn't see any of it, you can pretend you didn't notice that either.

[ he's never going to forget. ]

I'll do my best?

[ ever. ]
