Flying snakes? Well that certainly sounds fun!

[Oh god, the crystal's warming up. THIS DEFINITELY SOUNDS FUN.]

It certainly won't pose a problem, no! My aim is excellent.

[holysapling]

...It sounds like a lot of fun.

[...She says, about as pressured and intensely as she says everything else.]

It's been a few weeks since I've done stuff like that. We went up to the mountains a couple weeks ago. While everything was going on. Milla said we couldn't kill anyone though.

[She is so damn annoyed with that.]

[scythegun]

Ah, you were helping out with the possessed people, ja? That was a nasty bit of business.

[That's the verbal equivalent of a shrug, because he doesn't really care. It's not like he was possessed!]

Well you won't have to hold back with the snakes!

[LET'S FUCK 'EM UP]

[holysapling]

...The beast hunter people pay good for the snakes. They pay good for a lot of things. But the snakes especially.

[Pragmatism! Also, fuck snakes?]

Stay out for the weekend maybe? Just pick off a bunch.

[scythegun]

Wunderbar! That sounds absolutely delightful!

[Fuck snakes indeed!!]

I'll be sure to be ready; do you want to meet up tomorrow, then?

[holysapling]

Yeah.

[...]

Thanks. For doing this.

[scythegun]

Ah, you don't need to thank me.

[The heat fades soon enough and it's back to apathy central over here.]

I've always enjoyed fighting monsters. I wouldn't have had my manor built so far away from town if I didn't!

[seriously why the hell is it so far away from town, that's dumb]

[holysapling]

They're all over the jungle back home. Not usually a challenge, they're all kind of dumb.

Sometimes the pirates will send stuff at us, though. That stuff is fun.

[scythegun]

Do you fight the pirates often?

[That sounds fun, why the hell don't we have pirates???]

[holysapling]

[...Uh, well.]

...It's not really much of a fight? They go down easy. Usually.

I haven't fought anyone important. Most of them are Master Chard's guys. But I haven't fought him.

[scythegun]

Is he the leader of the pirates?

[Who calls themselves "Master", jeez.]

[holysapling]

[It's tacky as shit, Yeager.]

I think so. I don't know.

I just use his guys for stuff. That's all that matters. I'd use him too if he was around.

[scythegun]

You should! Anyone calling themselves "Master" is bad news.

[It's totally different if other people are calling you "Master" though!!]

[holysapling]

I think it's just the pirates. That do stuff like that. People don't call my father things like that and he rules the whole village.

The pirates are weird about stuff, though.

[scythegun]

Oh? What other things are they weird about?

[Please talk shit about pirates, this is hilarious.]

[holysapling]

They talk big. And they stole a lot of people from my village. So I gave them trouble right back and now they all do what I say.

Either they're weak or I'm scarier than their boss. Maybe both. I hope it's at least partway the second one.

[scythegun]

With what you're capable I have no doubts that they were intimidated by you.

...It's unfortunate that they kidnapped people from your village, though. I'm sorry to hear that.

[The words sound genuine enough, but there's no emotion coming over the crystal. Yeager likes Farina well enough to actually try, maybe, but but for now he's continuing to keep his feelings set to OFF.]

[holysapling]

[There's some anger coming through hers, but it's odd; it's a bit sharp but it's directionless, because she's not mad at Yeager at all and being mad about things that aren't here seems...strange to her. Kind of like she shouldn't. She doesn't know, and it dies down quickly enough.]

...I gave them trouble back, like I said. Pretty bad. A bunch of them died. Nearly killed a bunch more. It felt good.

[scythegun]

I'm sure it did.

[That sounds all too familiar. There's something there as well, heavy and oppressive for a moment before Yeager realizes and corrects it. It doesn't fade entirely, but it's dulled to something much more bearable.]

You're alone here, ja? There isn't anyone from your world?

[Listen, if there are pirates here he's totally got your back.]

[holysapling]

[...Oh. Well, that's...weird.]

...Haven't seen anyone else, no.

[scythegun]

Well, if any of those pirates show up I certainly wouldn't mind helping you take them out!

[please don't casually offer to murder people, yeager jfc]

[holysapling]

I'd like that.

[lbr a lot of this conversation has been casual discussion of murder]

They're pretty obvious. They don't shut up. Important ones are Persimmon and Chard.

[scythegun]

I'll be sure to keep those names in mind, then! What do they look like?

[holysapling]

Never seen Chard. Persimmon is...

[...Adorable, apparently. Enjoy the mental image.]

[scythegun]

[Oh my, how cute!!]

He certainly is interesting-looking. I won't forget that appearance!
