This thing on?

[Nero felt stupid talking into a book but, fuck it, this thing had kept him up with all its useless noise. Least he could do was get something out of it and then go back to ignoring its existence.]

Whatever. Anyone know where a guy can get some headphones?

[rossovento]

Not here.

[devil_reborn]

Tch. Figures.

Guess I'm gonna have to do it the old fashioned way. Put my fingers in my ears and pretend everyone around me isn't an idiot.

Shouldn't be too hard. I have experience.

[al_bhed_cutie]

There's none here.

[devil_reborn]

Great...fucking Lady just had to destroy the only pair in this place.

[Nero sighed before the recognizable voice registered in the back of his mind.]

You sound familiar. We met?

[al_bhed_cutie]

..Sorry?

Yup! I was tanning when we first met.

[devil_reborn]

Nothing. Just got in a fight with my local attitude problem and she broke my headphones. Figures...the woman lives to make my life harder.

[Nero thought back...tanning...yellow...and barely there clothing. Man, if you ever want to make an impression on a guy, that's pretty much the best way to do it.]

Rikku right?

[therealmion]

Headphones? What for?

[devil_reborn]

What do you think?

[Nero's first reaction was to go directly for sarcasm but experience taught him Luceti was filled with people who tended to miss the obvious.]

Broke my last pair in a fight and I need new ones so I don't go insane from boredom.

[ratatosk_knight]

Headphones?

[devil_reborn]

You know...round, goes over your ears, helps you listen to music.

My pair broke after my last fight with the she-devil. Now I need new ones...I'd hate to start actually having to listen to people.

Know where I can get a pair?

[ratatosk_knight]

I've never heard of those before, and I don't think I've seen them in any of the stores either.

[devil_reborn]

It's fine kid, I'm starting to get the picture. Technology isn't booming around here is it?

[colony_brat]

Not gunna find any. Why ya think I wanted to take apart your sword? Not a lotta tech 'round here. You're gunna have to get used to the silence. 's hard at first, but you'll get used to it.

[devil_reborn]

I figured you were a weapon junkie on withdrawal. How was I supposed to know this place is stuck in the dark ages?

Fuck, guess I have no choice. I'm gonna have to start paying attention to people. Still, I've got my gun right? Doesn't mean I can't put them on pause when they start to annoy me.

[colony_brat]

Naw, got plenty of weapons. Well, missin' my buddy, but I made do. Still wanna get my hands on that sword though. Just sayin'.

But if ya start killin' people who annoy you, the town's not gunna be happy and there's gunna be a big bull's eye on your head. Hell, might have ta take you out myself and that'd make me sad. 's shame ta cut off such a handsome head.

[devil_reborn]

You earn it and maybe I'll let you look at her. Maybe.

...It's not like I'm gonna go on a killing spree. Just a few warning shots for the idiots. But if they're begging for a fight they tied their own noose. I'm just making sure it swings the right way.
