That barely makes this a game and more like a dollhouse.

[roseoftexas]

We are kinda being forced to do what they want. Within reason.

[piteous]

I guess that's true.

[ Summertime sadness. ]

You getting along with your team at least?

[roseoftexas]

[ great now that's stuck in my head ]

As well as I can a group of strangers, sure. You're with [ your husband ] someone you know, right?

[piteous]

They seem nice. [ In Vash's opinion. ] Yeah, Wolfwood. We go back.

[ thinks about it. ]

You two have talked right? The similarities here are uncanny.

[roseoftexas]

I think I got fairly lucky. [ until, y'know. one of them died. ]

Yeah, couple of times. He's pretty easy to talk to. [ because they're so SIMILAR. ]

[piteous]

... Are you two going to join forces?

[ Help— ]

Is there anyone from your world I could ally with?!

[roseoftexas]

[ blinks. ]

Where did that come from?

[ uh. ]

You planning on invading my home or something?

[piteous]

I feel there are too many smoking realists here.

[ Not as in hot, attractive, but actual smoking. ]

Just a segue to ask about anything you're buddy buddy with at home? Wolfwood and I kinda travel together.

[roseoftexas]

[ i think they can be smoking (hot) and smoking (literal) ]

I have some people I live with that'd probably fit the bill. [ also: ] "Kinda" travel together?

[piteous]

[ no ]

Okay, we do travel together. [ Sometimes you are two bros. ] Roooommates?

[roseoftexas]

[ sometimes you are married and travel your hell earth on a motorbike together. lovely. ]

Roommates. There’s… five of us?

[ don’t make it weird, vash. ]

[piteous]

Woah, five is a lot.

[ HELLO? ]

[roseoftexas]

It’s a big house.

No, wait. There’s five of us minus me. Six overall.

[piteous]

Five's still a lot of people to get along with! At least I'd hope you get along with yourself.

[ No sad thought for Shu or else. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ haha! anyway. ]

No. It’s a very big house. It’s pretty comfy, actually. And there’s still a bunch of spare rooms we don’t use. I think Scarecrow just bought it because he felt he needed to do the rich young hacker thing — pool, big house, a bunch of cars he doesn’t drive but doesn’t mind if we do… y’know.

[ RICH SELF MADE BOY THINGS. ]

[piteous]

... His name is Scarecrow?

[ Latches onto this part more than anything. ]

[roseoftexas]

No.

[piteous]

Codename?

[roseoftexas]

Most likely. I’ve never asked, but it’s what he goes by everyday and when he’s working so it’s going to be a pseudonym one way or the other.

[piteous]

Tech-y people are so quirky. [ not like other girls ] What do you do for a living?

[ Vash actually wants to ask if Shu is an assassin, just based on his profile and also his similarity with Wolfwood, but... He allows some privacy.

He will Not Perceive and only will see what Shu tells him. ]

[roseoftexas]

More money than sense kind of thing, I guess. He's enjoying himself though.

[ coward. ]

Odd jobs. I help my housemates out with stuff, I've done bouncer and bodyguard work before. Bounty hunter and tax collection. Those kinds of things.

[piteous]

[ he's respectful ]

Woah, bounty hunting?

[roseoftexas]

Mm. If it's needed. I do a bit of anything that works at the time.

[piteous]

What was your biggest catch...?
