I'm not going to eat something that's trying to eat me. It probably would taste like... tar or something. Even Koro-chan doesn't try to eat them, and he's a dog!

[ ridiculous, i tell you. absolutely ridiculous. ]

Prove it. Are ya a robot or something?

[liven]

I am not. That's a stupid guess. Does granny Shijima look like a robot? She'll bleed if you cut her.

[ She's so unimpressed, Junpei. ]

How could I prove that? Shall we cut off my head and count the rings 'round my neck? But if we do that, we should do yours, first, so we can compare.

[slugout]

Sometimes you can't tell if someone's not a robot! Ai-chan doesn't look a robot until you see the guns she has installed in her arms and her robot shoulders, and her uniform hides them all the time. You're wearing sleeves and saying you're really old even though you look twelve! It's a pretty good guess, if you ask me. [ nobody asked you, junpei.




... uhhhh??? weirdo. ]

No. I like my head where it is.

[liven]

Then it seems like we'll have to take me at my word. If you disagree, we can move on to the cutting off our heads plan to prove my old age.

[ IS...THAT HOW YOU WIN AN ARGUMENT?????

????????????????????????

is she joking? only an owl would be able to tell. ]

[slugout]

... I'm pretty sure people's necks don't work like trees, your plan's lame.

[liven]

Have you ever decapitated someone? I don't think you have. You seem a little squeamish. Therefore, I am the expert, and I assure you that's how they work.

[ It's not................

She could actually survive cutting off her head, though. So she really doesn't care... ]

[slugout]

I may not pay much attention in science class but I at least know we don't get rings in our neck every year! And that's gross, cutting heads off is murder, and that ain't the kinda hero I am!

[ ... ]

I have decapitated Shadows, though, for the record.

[ THE KATANABAT IS NOT JUST FOR SHOW. ]

[liven]

That doesn't count, since they aren't human. Are they?

[ She actually was mostly joking. ...It really is too bad Kouichi isn't there to stop her from joking with people. Shijima's sense of humor is...well, this. ]

I don't make a habit of lying about my age. Only birds do that.

[slugout]

[ uhhhh UHHH THAT'S A... REALLY... GOOD QUESTION... ]

Nahh, if they were, they'd either be human shaped or coffins in the Dark Hour.

[liven]

Many hours are dark. Which one do you refer to?

[ the fuck is your world, child. tables that eat people and hours that are dark??? ]

[slugout]

The secret one at midnight most people don't know about 'cause they get turned into coffins for it.

[ YEAH. yeeaaah. ]

[liven]

We do not have that where I am from.

[ SHIJIMA IS PRETTY SURE SHE WOULD HAVE NOTICED SUCH A THING. She's a cat, she stays up late. ]

[slugout]

You don't know that for sure! Are there any mysterious cases of people just being normal one day and then the next up and like, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and not wanting to do anything but just hanging around?

'Cause that's what happens when a Shadow eats their soul.

[ THE CORRECTNESS OF THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION IS DUBIOUS BECAUSE IT'S COMING FROM JUNPEI, but you get the gist. ]

[liven]

I do. I would have noticed such an hour, or such occurrences.

[ THEREFORE, YOU ARE FROM SOMEWHERE WEIRD AND ELSEWHERE. ]

Are you certain these people are not just teenagers? I have observed that human teenagers have days where they do not want to do anything but hang around quite often.

[ like is this really something we're worried about here ]

[slugout]

It can happen to anybody! Old ladies, businessmen, mall crawlers, punks...

[liven]

Hm. Your old ladies aren't as sturdy as granny Shijima. I would eat the shadow-thing first.

[ she still has no idea what his name is and has no intention of asking these two are great at conversations ]

[slugout]

Please, if you're not awake during the Dark Hour, there's nothing you can do. 'S why my friends and I are here, though, so don't worry.

[ don't worry even though we all got kidnapped and he was... trying to save... the world... just before this... hahaha..... maybe this place is like a sub dark hour? it would make sense, and the decor is tartarus-y enough. ]

[liven]

Child, I do not need your protection. And I've told you, there is no such hour in my home.

[ He's really dense, isn't he. OH WELL... ]

[slugout]

Hey, my name's not child, grandma!

[ junpei. please. that won't help. ]

And you don't know what's here and what's not.

[ x( ]

[liven]

Oh? What is it, then? And I know what is in my own world very well, little boy.

[ she guesses it could be a thing here but somehow doubts it......... ]

[slugout]

Junpei. Junpei Iori!

[ ... ]

Wait, so you're from here?

[liven]

Shijima Kurookano.

[ Junpei-kun, huh. ]

No. I am from elsewhere. But a place with no Dark Hour.

[slugout]

Shijima-baachan...

[ that is a very japanese name for a europe looking place. ]

But if you're from Japan...?

[liven]

And who said it had to be the same Japan? Surely you do not think "such a thing is impossible", Junpei-kun. [ You little twerp ] Look around you.

[slugout]

Well, no, but Tartarus is pretty impossible and looks a lot like this sometimes!

[ >:I ok whatever you have a point! he doesn't care. ]
