Comments

[assent]

T-truly... [ She doesn't know what else to say, so she just... sips her hot chocolate, hands curving around the cup. ]

So other than raiding the kitchen, what are your plans for this afternoon?

[moneyman]

Hmm... [ he hadn't thought that far ahead. it's been a bit of a weird day. ] No idea, honestly. Maybe napping? I kinda feel like I haven't slept in days. Orrr maybe it's just a food coma coming on, I dunno. [ it's probably both. ] What about you?

[assent]

But... you have not eaten all that much... Are you sure you do not want more than that? [ If he's had a tiring time at home though, the nap might be a good idea. ]

I plan on studying for a while, then I shall go to my regularly scheduled training this afternoon.

[moneyman]

Ehh... [ he waves a hand, a little sheepish. ] I ate some stuff before you got here. [ spoilers: it was a lot of stuff. ]

Training, huh? Like with your gun?

[assent]

Ah! I see... [ She wasn't sure, but... that's fair. Though she shakes her head at that. ]

If I am honest, I have been trained to fire a gun for a long enough time that it comes naturally. However, I am learning how to use a knife more effectively.

[moneyman]

Nice! [ sweet jesus, this girl could probably beat his ass. ] Is someone here teaching you? I've got a thing like that going on, except it's mostly been swords. I'm not very good at it yet, but I'm gonna keep at it.

[ because you never know when a random sword fight might break out, right? ]

[assent]

Ah, yes. I have found three different tutors so I am able to learn various styles as well. Though one is actually for the katana I received.

[ GIRL IS GETTING AN ARMORY APPARENTLY... ]

[moneyman]

Three? [ what the hell. he needs to step up his game, apparently. ] Where'd you get a katana from?

[assent]

Yes. Julius, Giorno and Arima. [ Getcha head in the game, Vaughn! ] I believe it was a gift from ALASTAIR, actually? It was in my room, therefore...?

[moneyman]

Huh. [ ...well, he doesn't know any of those people, so that explains it. ] ALASTAIR gave you a katana? Geez. You must have really impressed them.

[ he hasn't gotten shit. rude, ALASTAIR. ]

[assent]

[ Well, Julius is pretty nice. Giorno probably is only if you get along with him? Who knows. Arima is a hardcore trainer and honestly she ends up a lot more dead after his sessions than the other two put together. RIP Sonia. ]

Well... if it was them? I am not sure.

[ Well he went... home???? Maybe... that's a reward??????? ]

[moneyman]

[ it is a reward, honestly, but that doesn't really occur to him. he shrugs. ]

It probably was. I mean, unless you know someone who would break into your room and anonymously leave you a sword, which would be kiiinda creepy.

[assent]

[ Well, it would be nice if they left a note! ]

Well... [ She pauses. ] Perhaps?

[ She knows some very suspicious people okay... ]

[moneyman]

...Wait, seriously? [ "suspicious" is one way of putting it. ] You must have some weird friends. Either way, it's... thoughtful? I guess? I can't say I'd complain too much if someone randomly left me a sword, but still. Give it to me in person. Put a little bow on it. I don't think that's too much to ask.

[ it's probably too much to ask. ]

[assent]

I think they just wish for me to be able to protect myself, perhaps. [ She looks sheepish... really they're just weird lbr. ]

They may have been busy, either way I am grateful. I do not run out of bullets, but not everything can be killed with a gun.

[moneyman]

I guess. [ he shrugs. weird, indeed. ]

...Uh, wait, what do you mean you don't run out of bullets?

[assent]

Hmm? There is a magazine I received that does not seem to need replacing. I am not sure how it works, perhaps magic? However, I am aware I am not the only one with this technology. It is quite useful.

[ Vaughn needs more rewards, clearly... ]

[moneyman]

What? [ what manner of bullshit is this?? ] Oh, my god, how are you so lucky?

[ yeah, he's a little jealous. ]

[assent]

I... am not so sure, actually.

[ Now she just looks awkward. ]

I am very sorry! [ Why is she apologising?! ]

[moneyman]

[ oh, shit. he throws his hands up, suddenly feeling like he's upset her. ]

No, no, don't apologize! It's just really cool, is all. I'm glad you've gotten some nice stuff.

[assent]

[ No she's just being Over Dramatic. ]

Well... when I arrived I had nothing but my friend's hamsters with me, so it was quite useful when I received the gun.

[moneyman]

Hamsters?

[ he... may be jealous of that, too. ]

...Do you still have them?

[assent]

[ Vaughn.... ]

Of course! [ She lights up at the mention of them. ] They are currently resting in my room, would you like to go meet them?

[moneyman]

[ what... he's an adult. ]

Uh... [ he stops and pretends to think about this for a few seconds. ] Yes?

[ you had him at 'hamsters.' ]

[assent]

[ is or needs ]

Then please feel free to bring your drink along! We shall go say hello.

[ She's already lifting her mug to take with her. ]
