So I've heard there's a basement around here.

Cool stuff down there?

[unsigned, but she expects he'll recognize her handwriting]

[requitedfate]

If it's dangerous then there's not much point in asking, but I might as well give it a shot.

Can anything persuade you to not do this?

[oneman_onekill]

My mind was made up even before I asked.

[tacked on hastily next to it; strikes illegible]

[oneman_onekill]

But if it ends up being too much, we I'll find something else. I just want to give it a shot, though. Just once.

[requitedfate]

Thought as much.

Well. [pentaps] Whatever mess you plan on getting into, don't expect me to just sit around and let you walk into it alone. I'm coming with you.

[hastily tacked on after]

[requitedfate]

Also, I'm not arguing about this. You either take me or I'll come after you, even if that means wandering alone until I find you again.

[oneman_onekill]

It wasn't my intention to make it look like I was going to ditch you.

[strikeouts legible if someone tries]

[requitedfate]

You Hazama was always so dead-set on keeping me out of danger. I just wanted to make sure you understood I wasn't going to allow you the same wiggle room he got away with.

If it really wasn't your intention then... thanks, Niikura-san.

[and he makes above strikeouts illegible for her]

[oneman_onekill]

How come he got off so nicely, huh? Playing favorites?

No, I'm kidding.

I just figured that you'd come regardless of whether I wanted you to or not. And besides, I told you that we should stick together, right?

[so nice of him to do so!]

[requitedfate]

Why do I have a feeling I know exactly the kind of expression you had on your face while writing that?

Guess that's true. I like a man who sticks to his promises.

[I know right...such a gentleman]

[oneman_onekill]

Oh? What kind of expression would that be? [He may or may not be grinning like the Cheshire Cat right now.]

Well, guess it's good you got stuck with me (in general, not me me), then, because that's how I roll.

[Oh totally |D Now he just needs a top hat and a monocle...]

[requitedfate]

Hmm, I wonder...

So I've noticed. And I'm glad I'm stuck with you (the you you, even).

[sorry, that is reserved for the old man club]

[oneman_onekill]

C'mon, I'm bouncing up and down from anticipation over here.

Hey, stop, you're making me blush.

[Alas!]

[requitedfate]

That just makes what I'm picturing all the more clear.

Well, now it would just be unfair to stop, wouldn't it?

[oneman_onekill]

I'm glad someone's enjoying this, at least.

No, you could stop, and it would be perfectly fair. To me, that is.

[requitedfate]

But would it be fair to deprive the world of this moment?

[oneman_onekill]

Yes.

Yes, it would be fair.
