w-what ? ! but y-- ( ๐ฆ )
[ cutting themselves off as they took the tone and sudden change into thought . ah ! they understood ! although they were caught by surprise , and initially betrayal . . . they understood , and all that faded into confidence . ]
tch ! as if ! i doubt you'd be
+
he meant it. in fact, the opposite. a ruse meant to buy them more time... anything that did mattered.]
i should've killed you as soon as i saw your face again!!
['go, leave. we'll meet again later.'
shooting his gun in the air twice to drive it home. a determined nod followed.]
[horns angled up in surprise at 75's initial wording, taking what's they said into genuine consideration as he clenched his fist.]
yeah. yeah...
whatever. don't let me see you again. i'll tell the boss.
[even though his words were surprising, he stared at 75 with conviction. ++
so, yeah.
we can still talk. i don't care if he kills me at this point.
don't... don't mention it.
[he muttered, looking away. pursuing his lips as he tried to avoid eye contact.]
if i'm gonna be demoted, i might as well. it's not like i'm gonna be doing much. we've kinda been on standby for a bit since all the infighting started happening.
++
but if this is the last time i'm gonna see ya then, um...
bye.
yeah, i... i get it. kinda knew that i was throwing it all out to begin with. those joyrides i knew were gonna get us caught, but really i just wanted to make you feel better before your fate was decided.
was a lot better than a flat out execution, though. so i'm, uh. grateful. ++
no, they aren't. i've just been figuring out as i go. no idea who's even gonna replace me.
this is a mess.
[rubbing his neck awkwardly.]
tch... probably isn't gonna be for much longer. i've heard talks from other soldiers in the medbay that i'm gonna be demoted to foot soldier. i'm trying to revel in the title while i still can.
DON'T CALL ME THAT!! im a PILOT now!!
SAYS WHO
i show you my true self once
[he slowly looks at the pod... observing it... looks like he put it upside down initially...]
ah-
oh.
it's really that simple, huh?? ๐ง
[stupid fox!]
[meekly]
there's a... there's a pod??? i thought you just put the dirt in it and then-
see that's the funny part i put the grounds up top but i kinda dunno what i did
and i don't often Mess up... heh... so i think it was just destined to fail ๐
WELL IT... IT SAID .. it was outta water and i put some water in it and then it just Made hot water it wasn't the bean water,
WAAAUH ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ
hi miss 41 what's the. problem
[covered in coffee]
oops
honestly i always thought he was more of like a bowser laugher. like BWAHAH kinda
... do you think he goes ohoho
hmm...
kinda just if he had a beard instead of a mustache
ive been too nice to you lately
what.
Not me though. GET EM IN THE HOT TUB
89 looked back at the robot in his lap. blinking a few times, huffing soon after.]
what i'd give to have a life so easy again. but there's no getting out of this one alive, i guess.
my parents were sticklers for tradition. kitsunes are supposed to be sneaky spirits, but i kinda threw that all out the window when 7n7 totally annihilated my village and temple. i jumped at the damn chance to be out in the modern world!
...kinda regret it now.
[ears twitching, ++
yeah. i guess. our boss wasn't really the best to my town so i had to do rhe next best thing to surviving- join you guys. haha! honestly, i'd probably be better off dead at this point..
[89 snorted, still keeping his head rested against them. looking a bit nervous..]
i genuinely dunno.
[89 responded flatly, but did eventually relax enough. a low exhale, letting his disguise go up in smoke as that round robloxian face turned into a darkened muzzle of a fox.]
but i guess we won't know until we find out... right? heheh. how's this for my real face?
