Yeah, yeah. [He knows. The Saiyan keeps an eye out, looking through every table with food set up in hot pans or on display, until finally he manages to find the sushi section. And oh man did he ever hit the jackpot. There's sushi there he's never even seen before, and a lot of it- and if Cliff has ever seen the man genuinely happy, this is one of those moments. He starts loading up on every single kind he can see.]

Well, what are you standing around for? Grab some, before I take it all, heheh.

[misterbrief]

[Oh, he is used to her vague answers by now.] Some quicker than others. [Said with a raised eyebrow. But, he's not going to fuss, despite feeling a small burning in his cheeks.]

I'll give it another shot. It should be coming soon anyway. What am I supposed to do, jump into it or something?

[installing]

[Her eyes shoot wide open, and she stares horrified at his hand on hers. He's touching her, oh god he's touching her! No, no, no! This can't be happening. Quickly she stands up, and yanks her hand back.]

I- I'm not afraid of a stupid ride!

hahahaha YOU ASKED FOR IT

[misterbrief]

[And as Nami owns that hand of poker, and he watches his chips go right into her pile, he curses at himself for not paying more attention on how to play this game. Even though it's just a stupid game, he hates, hates losing.

The next hand is dealt, and his hand is again pretty bad- not that he's putting together the right cards anyway, and he loses again. To her.]

[untrueheart]

I don't know how to get out of here.

[And she is so very desperate to.]

[misterbrief]

Pretend? Bah. Why don't we do something really fun instead? [Watch out Raine, you'll find out why his son was so mischievous. He got it from his dad.]

feel free also to do whatever you want with their dialogue and actions

[misterbrief]

[His eyes narrow at the kids in their way.]

What do you three want?

Shut up squirt, you two aren't allowed to play any of these games.

Is that a fact? [He'll beat the shit out of every last one of them if he has to.]

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi kneels beside Rue, and tries to smile for her.]

I'm not quite sure either. Maybe we can find it together?

[geniustheveil]

[Ami doesn't know Haruhi very well, either, and she has to admit she hadn't caught it.]

No. Was she thinking of trying something?

[Note to self: contact Haruhi once they return to Luceti.]

[geniustheveil]

[Spock that does not look right...]

Is it really alright to stay in the water after all? [Maybe it would be better to talk about Fenimore, who she unfortunately doesn't know, after warming up.]

[geniustheveil]

More or less. [And if she knows Vegeta, she knows what the actual problem is here:] You have to let it carry you. [You have to rely on that, you have to allow and accept it. You can't fight it instead.]

[waterfell]

You found it! [Ami beams at Aang and, oh look, there is plenty for both of them. They did remember to keep the moon rocks in their pocket, didn't they?] You should bring a lot so we can feed them all.

[misterbrief]

Let it carry me? Hmmmmm. [Well, alright.] I'll give it a go. Here it comes anyway.

[And as the wave approaches, he jumps, and tries to let it carry him...]

[250mhzwabl]

Yeah, all right, got it. Extremely careful.

[He nods agreement, hoping to either placate or at least settle down the girl who's still looking at him like he's going to hit her or something, though it leaves a lingering awkwardness between them once he's apologised yet again. Especially as, on a quick glance, he can't see a way to stroll off that isn't through a shift zone.]

I'm, ah. I'm Jack, by the way. Hi.

[There. Totally a naturally and not hideously abrupt introduction. Masterfully done, Holden.]

[teachingpeace]

[He flushed, but a smile touched his lips anyway.] I can think of nothing better to focus on.

[capsulepresident]

[He laughs a little because that's so typical of Bulla, but then smiles.]

That's good to hear and thanks for doing that with my sister. Back home she only has a few friends from school who go out shopping with her. So it's really nice she has another friend who is willing to do that.

[tea_lover64]

Not particularly no, but conflict is part of nature.

[He smiles at that]

The most difficult opponent is one which respects you, and acknowledges their own weaknesses. They can be better prepared for whichever strategies and tactics you favor, and counter them, knowing which likely route you would take against their weak points.

[generalflirt]

Yeeeep. Seems so.

[And with that, he ends up hoping into the boat. Let's paddle boat our way through love. Or something. (eeeeh)]

[z_jay]

[With a sigh, he rolled his eyes and glanced away-- this guy was asking too many questions]

Duh, of course I do.

[Subject change, it was vital. But he did try to sneak a peek to see if this guy was a chaperone or something, where was his damn name tag?]

So where to next? I'm hungry.

[thefinaljedi]

[He doesn't want to say anything where other people can hear, so he'll send her a mental message.]

It was on the other network.

[Then he goes back to speaking normally.]

Spreading her SoS Brigade? Handing out pins and inducting members from other enclosures.

[niepokonany]

[He decides, ultimately, on using the same tool for this that he does for almost every problem, which is to say, he decides to fall back on dogged force of will. In fairness, when all you have is a hammer...]

[It's at least enough to help him force a smile, if one that lacks the boldness he prefers to show with people he isn't comfortable with.]

Oh. Um, like, nice to meet you, I guess... My name's Poland!

[bubblywishes]

[...Yeah, Norma doesn't buy that excuse in the slightest, and just gives Nami a scrutinizing look as she arches one brow up. Yeah, okay, sure - something new. Mmmhmm. But a drink to celebrate sounds wonderful~! And she can better grill the young woman for answers at the bar.]

Sounds like a plan! You're treating.

[bubblywishes]

[See? What? Norma blinks, then leans in a little closer to the girl while narrowing her eyes with an accusing wrinkle of her nose. Hrm...]

You can't...see anything? Seriously? [Actually, her eyes did seem to lack the normal alertness and color of eyes she's seen that could, well, see.] What the heck're you doing all by yourself in a place like this, then?! Don't all the sounds and stuff make your head spin?

Day 3

[bubblywishes]

[Looking over her shoulder, Norma smiles at the familiar face then sighs at the comment. Oh ha, ha...everyone come and laugh. With an unimpressed face, she glances back at the food in question and grumbles darkly.]

It's not that it's under cooked, it's more than it doesn't seem to want to be eaten...or has mind enough to not get on my plate to be.

28th~

[selfhelp]

[...ah.

Billy doesn’t need Teddy to finish that sentence; he knows immediately what he means. And it breaks his heart to hear that fear, that doubt in Teddy’s voice.

Because of me. I did that.

And he’s been worrying about that for weeks now, hasn’t he? Holding back his questions and fretting about it with no way to discover the truth as long as Billy was trapped within his own confused mind. Waiting that long must have shaken his faith to the very core.

He can’t wait for Teddy to believe he’s truly back. He has to start dealing with these issues now, because god knows how long it could take to really sink in. He notices the way Teddy is scratching his arms and can’t hold back any longer- he reaches out to grab his hands, trying to pull his nails away from his skin. He needs to stop that.]

I know… I know. How can I… when I replaced you like that.

[How can I explain this? How can I even begin to describe the thought process that caused all of this?]

Teddy… what I did is inexcusable. It was horrible, and- and wrong, and I wish I could go back and make it so it never-

[He stops himself almost violently, teeth clacking together, nearly biting his tongue. Words like that, phrasing like that, it’s dangerous. He can’t talk like that, even theoretically. What if he accidentally cast a spell? What if he did turn back time, or erased memories, or worse?

He can’t risk that. Wishing, wanting, saying it aloud- he can’t do it. Not ever again.]

...It isn’t true, though. None of it is. I was- I was crazy, I was desperate, I thought you were dead, I…

[Excuses- they all sound like nothing but excuses, empty and pointless and without any hope of comfort. It sounds like a pathetic attempt to dodge blame, and that's not right.]

You were dead. I mean- I thought you were. I saw them… kill you. And I couldn’t stand it... I couldn’t deal. I… couldn’t handle the thought of… living without you. I tried to bring you back, keep you with me, and… instead, I made… that. I thought- I thought if- if I couldn’t have you, I… could at least have…

[Pathetic.

You’re so pathetic.

The truth sounds even worse than what he believed…]

...It was wrong. It was all wrong.
