voice;

Recreating memories works too. Probably only important ones, since some things got repeated that really weren't and they didn't do anything. Memories that are important to the person, even if they didn't really say anything before that...

[ Yuri's voice sort of trails off toward the end there, but then perks up quickly with a subject change. Ish. Of sorts. It doesn't seem like a subject change to the untrained eye, but to Yuri it most definitely is. ]

Who's still an NPC? We can get working on them before anything, we'll figure out a plan of attack from there.

Comments

[onewayroad]

[What initially was meant as nothing more than a sarcastic quip has suddenly yielded an... interesting, almost flustered-seeming reaction. He pauses a good moment with furrowed brow at that, unable to muster any surprise over it. It's a good thing for Yuri that this him is far less of a troll than his old persona was.]

The 'without amnesia' part was clear. And relax before you make yourself look suspicious over something meaningless.

[abrupt huff of a sigh.]

How caught up on everything are you?

[straight and to the point, and it gives a good change of topic. just because he couldn't hold back from at least a comment on her reaction doesn't mean he cares to draw it out further.]

[tenminutes]

[ She's going to take that topic change immediately. ]

We're all in the houses now, which are surprisingly nice compared to the dorms and I feel cheated, apparently everyone's focused on the student council elections for whatever reason, the place is flooded with shadows, and I think we've gotten ahold of the NPC they want which is why we're stuck in a little fortress of domesticity. What am I missing?

[onewayroad]

We definitely have the NPC they want. And there's that other method of deNPCing people, but it should be kept as a last resort for obvious reasons.

[She definitely ought to already know the situation with Kohaku, so he's just stating his stance on going down that route again, given the contents of her announcement earlier.]

That's about it. That bastard and his NPC haven't said or done anything in a while, so it's down to a slow-paced attrition.

[tenminutes]

Their mistake for not doing anything. It gives us time to regroup and restrategize. I feel like we're going to be an actual battlefront for the first time in a while. We might have to use the down time to get the people who can't fight up to speed too.

[onewayroad]

About that...

[slight sideglance while he folds his arms across his chest]

There's a freelancer you should include in your plans for this shit.

[real smooth there, tsuncelerator.]

[tenminutes]

A freelancer huh? I guess I can make a space for that freelancer.

[ She knows exactly what he's talking about but.. ]

Well, if I don't have a name I'll just have to come up with some kind of code name though..

[onewayroad]

What a coincidence, the only name this freelancer has anymore is a codename.

[tenminutes]

I'll go with Codename: Bubbles!

[onewayroad]

[holds up his hands crossed at the wrists in a clear sign of disapproval]

Rejected. You and your stupid nicknames and shit.

[tenminutes]

Fine, fine, we can go back to Accelerin.

[onewayroad]

No. Accelerator, or Number One.

[tenminutes]

The second one must be where that ego comes from, Accelerin.

[onewayroad]

I won't deny it had that effect on the old me.

[so much eyerolling. 'ego' is an understatement. if only Yuri knew about his former god complex that would put Naoi to shame.]

All of the Level Fives are commonly referred to by their rank. Rank isn't something I give a shit about anymore, especially not here, but it's still something I answer to.

[tenminutes]

I used to know someone whose codename was just C-7. I ended up giving her a name, but.. if you ever want to share an actual name with me, I won't tell anyone. I'm never calling you my a number.

[onewayroad]

[For a moment he goes solemn and quiet, his thoughts whipping to the Misaka clones and their serial numbers.]

...I don't remember my real name.

[tenminutes]

Really?

[ Yuri seems to stay quiet for a moment, thinking about it. ]

I'll call you Accelerator or Accelerin, then, unless you have something else you prefer.

[onewayroad]

Really. I only remember how many characters it had.

If you're going to shorten my name, go with 'Accel.'

[tenminutes]

Accel it is.

[ Hey, he actually gave a nickname she's allowed to use. She's completely going to take it. ]

[onewayroad]

Now that this crap is out of the way- [because anything remotely sentimental is obviously crap to him, right? totally.] -it's time to get back to the important shit.

What's the weapon situation?

[tenminutes]

Considering my "rescuer" who took me out of the building didn't grab anything from my room, I don't have any weapons on me. There are still a few left down in Guild that I was saving for a rainy day but there aren't many. We've got a safe zone though, so if we can get enough of the clay-filled dirt from down in guild it'll be quicker to make more-- but the more dirt we go to get, the more likely they are to notice.

[onewayroad]

There were a ton of shadows down there last time I tried going.

[folds arms across chest again, looking annoyed]

That was a while ago, so maybe it's improved since then, but the fact that it had a lot still doesn't bode well for dirt-gathering quests.

[tenminutes]

So basically, our best bet is to build a wheelbarrow here, then form a team to break into one of the shallow levels of Guild to get dirt back to the safe zone.

[ If it's in a team, it'll work out better, but honestly it's not worth risking everyone for what's down there beyond the dirt. ]

[onewayroad]

Most likely.

Does anyone have a GPS or map for their phone app?

[tenminutes]

If we can get my laptop out of the dorms, it has the school's blueprints saved on it but I don't know anyone with a GPS or map.

[onewayroad]

[Thoughtful, annoyed frown.]

The dorms are probably just as swamped with shadows.

...I'm willing to go in and look, but even for me and my Redirection that might be futile.
