week 1 ( friday )

[subordinacy]

['Eyyyyy, Setz is here to check up on... well, the only assassin he knows, so that makes Shinssin his favourite one by default ig.

When he finds him at the skate park, he waits for Shinssin to stop whatever he's doing and notice him. Assuming he does at some point?? Setz will just hold out a McDonald's bag at him.]

Comments

[shinssin]

[And he jumps from the tree.]

Alright! This is the part where I kill you.

[subordinacy]

[Blink.]

Try it and I'll throw this food in the trash.

[shinssin]

I'm sorry. That was a joke. I'll repent for my actions!

[subordinacy]

I don't want to know what your idea of repentance would be.

[shinssin]

How about saving China?

[subordinacy]

[This is the completely uncomprehending look of someone who doesn't know what China is.]

[shinssin]

Seriously?! Oh well, whatever. That's where I'm from.

[subordinacy]

You saved your home?

[shinssin]

Mm, yeah. That's what's written in the book.

[subordinacy]

Book?

[shinssin]

Anyway, we're getting off-topic.

[ No, they are completely on topic. ]

Heroic Spirits can't use their full power without their names. And obviously, they can't go down history that way...

[subordinacy]

... I won't press, but you should think about improving your deflection abilities.

[Shinssin...]

I suppose "Assassin of Shinjuku" would be a bit odd to write in history books.

[shinssin]

[ fuck u setz he could do that IF HE WANTED TO!!! ]

Right? What's a guy from Shinjuku doing in China? Ah, I guess you wouldn't know. Where are you from, anyway?

[subordinacy]

[#doubt]

... You won't have heard of it.

[He's preeeetty sure of that.]

[shinssin]

All the more reason to say it, right?

[subordinacy]

[He sighs.]

Crepuscule.

[shinssin]

Hehhhh.

Where's that?

[subordinacy]

[a beat]

Hard to explain. Like I said, you wouldn't have heard of it.

[shinssin]

This isn't like one of those vampire things, is it?

[he fuckin knows what crepuscule means]

[subordinacy]

[FUCK]

... No?

[shinssin]

Oh, okay! That would've been cool, though. Vampires are fun.

[subordinacy]

[He is not convinced that Shinssin believed him, but.]

Um, fun...?

[shinssin]

Yeah. This one I know makes Halloween fun every year with her concerts! Oh, but I guess it'd be wrong to call her a vampire...

[Explaining the many sides of Elizabeth Bathory is weird.]

[subordinacy]

[The more Shinssin talks, the less sense he makes??

Also, the awkward part where Setz knows a very, very different Bathory Erzsebet, but for now, he's blissfully unaware.]

... Then why did you call her one?

[shinssin]

Because that version of her isn't a vampire yet.

Ah, but I won't tell you her True Name. True Names are meant to be hidden, you know? So I guess you could say it's a good thing I don't know it for now.
