[Okay but WHY ARE THE SPRINKLERS ON in the foyer and all along the central corridors?]

[They're just ... going to keep going. And going. And going, for just over half an hour, until there are some nice puddles all over the floors.]

From that shard place ...?

... Yeah. Should have guessed she'd mention it.

How is she doing?

She's great, having her around's reassuring. But shes doing as you'd expect.

... Keep her safe.

[ he already planned to, but that's not the appropriate response, so he nods ]

Yeah, sure. I'll be guarding her, promise.

[... god having to be social in ways that are not just mindlessly throwing barbs at everyone is so hard sometimes.]

Thanks. That's... all that I wanted to hear.

I'm Nightingale.

Josuke.

Hey, I mean it, I'll keep her safe. You can rest easy, okay?

[Snorts.]

If I get any rest here, it'll be because I'm dead.

That ain't funny.

It wasn't meant to be.

Don't even think about dying, you asshole. Somehow we'll get through this fucking bullshit, and then we're gonna beat the crap out of the asshole who put us here.

Ah. You're an optimist.

I optimize situations by beating the shit out of people who stand in my way.

... Was that a pun? I'm impressed.

Yeah, that was a good line.

You don't look the type.

Whad'ya mean? Anyone can make a pun or two from time to time, come on.

[i thought you were big and dumb and not a pun appreciating type.]

I guess so.

[ i can be both!!! ]

Anyway, that's not what's important! What I'm saying is that I don't give a shit if it's optimistic or whatever else, just don't fucking die. I don't want anyone to die.

... Me neither. But that may not be possible, and if it is, the only way to make it happen is to work for it. We don't get the luxury of rest here.

Hey, that's just a saying! All I meant is that your friend's in fucking safe hands.

But I ain't the kinda guy who just talks pretty and doesn't do shit. We're gonna work for it.

... Good luck. The rules are set up to make it as hard as possible.

I'll bet there's just barely not enough food for everyone. Even with hunting.

You mean we should go get food?

No.

I mean, whoever's in charge here doesn't want us to work together, that's why there's that rule about trading. They're probably going to make basic necessities hard to come by, so people are more desperate, and more willing to make enemies for them.

Though that's just a guess.

[ that doesn't sound like a good prospect ... ]

We're all in this fucking boat together.
