[survivaltricks]

That's goo--

[following Tyr's line of sight, stopping himself when he sees that person]

. . . ah?

[CROIS?]

[leonheartedly]

There's no fucking way.

[gonna go SEE IF THAT'S HIS PARTNER IG]

[wooliefrand]

[IT SURE *LOOKS* like Crois. He notices them and gives them a wave--and then faux whispers "I THINK I HAVE A SHOT WITH HER"]

--Hola!

[leonheartedly]

[he's annoyed already, true love]

Yeah, she looks real interested in you, pal.

[wooliefrand]

You wound me! I'm wounded and bleeding!

[he laughs, but his laugh sounds off, as if lined by Red's voice]

But listen my friend, this place? I'm pretty okay with this. No zombies, no sheep, a good middle ground to live out my second life, yeah? What do you say?

[he points at Lupin]

Back me up here!

[survivaltricks]

[raises a brow]

I mean-- I can't argue with that.

Tokyo is pretty nice.

[leonheartedly]

[he narrows his eyes at "Crois"]

I'll give you a wound— [muttered, not serious]

I'm sure it is nice, but it isn't our home.

[wooliefrand]

It isn't! That is the point, is it not? The sights are far more pleasing!

[gestures at the leaving doctor!! BUT ALSO LIKE, NORMAL STREETS NOT FULL OF ZOMBIES...

He runs a hand thru his hair]

Okay, okay, you're not buying it. But it might make things a bit sad if I get to the point, you know? Hell, look at me now! Estoy triste!

[leonheartedly]

Oh yeah, the "sights". Unbelievable.

[he crosses his arms with a roll of his eyes]

That so? Maybe you should get the point before I actually make you triste.

[wooliefrand]

Well my friend, I'm not exactly sure *why* I'm here, but I know what will happen if you all don't make a choice.

"Kill those who don't belong, return to the pasture. Or live your lives peacefully and turn your back on everything that came before."

[throws his hands in the air]

Why drag me into this! Isn't dying once enough!

[leonheartedly]

. . . yeah, why drag you into this. The fuck kind of choice is that?

[wooliefrand]

[snaps his fingers as if a lightbulb went off]

Aha, I get it now!

Temptation!

I am your apple in the clutches of a snake! Hoho, how enticing! [a POSE for him!!]

Also existentially terrifying!

But I guess, ultimate, the choice is yours, amigo.

[leonheartedly]

[narrows his eyes a bit]

I'm sure tempted by something.

And? If I decided to stay here with you? What's the plan after that?

[survivaltricks]

[fwiw Lupin is looking more and more STRESSED OUT as this conversation goes, but he isn't saying anything]

[wooliefrand]

I suppose we get [groans]

Actual adult 9 to 5 jobs.

Nevermind, I'm a fraud, take me out!

[leonheartedly]

. . . [he briefly glances at Lupin, expression unreadable.





Calmly draws his gun and points it right in "Crois'" face]

Okay, sure, if that's what you really want.

[wooliefrand]

[HANDS IN THE AIR]

Woah woah, officer, I was joking! Trigger happy much??

And anyway. . .[a sigh.

and then the demon's affliction can be heard much clearer in the lining of his voice.]

It's not about what I want. It's what you want.

[survivaltricks]

[INTERNAL SCREAMING]

-- wait, don't!

[leonheartedly]

[KEEPS IT POINTED AT CROIS and to him:]

Don't call me officer.

[and to Lupin]

Why not?

[survivaltricks]

Because you shouldn't be so willing to kill the people you care about!

[points at Crois's Shadow]

At least call him out on his bullshit first.

[wooliefrand]

[OFFENDED FACE]

Hey now, I'm full of a lot of things but not--okay no, that's fair, I do bullshit a lot.

[leonheartedly]

[ALSO OFFENDED]

I thought pointing a gun in his face was calling him out on his bullshit.

[survivaltricks]

[EXASPERATED]

[and then he just stomps on Crois's shadow, too]

[wooliefrand]

¡Oye!!

[RUDE TIMES TWO. well the jig is up.

The *shadow* screeches, revealing it to be more fox shaped than human, and then 'Crois' follows suit, taking the shape of a vaugely fox like shadow creature.

HISSES]

[survivaltricks]

[to Tyr]

Okay, now you can shoot him.
