[hi daniel... maybe you're passing by the theater just keeping to yourself.... except now there's a redhead approaching like he's about to start a pokemon fight if the fight was conversation]

Hey!

[HI THErE]

Have you run into Karma yet? Kid with red hair, about your height?

[recession]

[ Well. This really is a pokemon interaction. ]

...

No, I don't think I have. Why?

[bookpapers]

[get into the poke ball daan]

Oh, phew.

[DONT JUST SAY PHEW]

He's pretty into eyepatches. In a 'taking them off and seeing what's under them' kinda way. And I don't think a 'no thanks' really works on him either.

[recession]

......

Noted, sounds like you had an exciting first encounter.

[ Exciting in this case is, of course, not used sincerely. ]

I'll be wary if I see him approaching. I appreciate it, Mr. Lavi.

[bookpapers]

You can just call me Lavi. Mister's for my gramps.

[well actually no one calls bookman mister either]

Can I call ya Daan? Or do ya prefer Daniël?

[recession]

Sure.

[ Everyone here is such a far cry from a certain someone he knows who was like do NOT call me by my first name. ]

As far as I know, they're both equally what I've grown up being known as, so you can take your pick. Most tend to pick the former though.

[bookpapers]

[has he met kanda yet]

I can see why. Daan's nice, short and sweet.

[he tilts his head at the wording though, AS FAR AS HE KNOWS? but then, a little wryly]

Nice of the poster to give everyone options.

[wow daan why do you get two hotdog names]

[recession]

[ He has. ]

Thanks. First I've heard that I think, but that's nice of you.

[bookpapers]

You think? [has no one else hit on you daan.....] Is that just a phrase thing, or do you not remember?

[nosy]

[recession]

My memory's fine. Most don't really care, I guess?

[ It is just a name... ]

You compliment people's names often?

[bookpapers]

I guess? I wouldn't say often... But I also think names are pretty important. How else will people remember ya?

[kanda in the bg, going entirely by descriptors]

[recession]

There are plenty of ways to remember a person. But I'm not here to be overly pedantic about the little things.

What do you think about all of this?

[bookpapers]

I thought I knew who took me here, but it's been a day and they haven't shown up to gloat yet, so...

[he shrugs]

My friend thinks we're hostages, but it feels like a weird group to keep captive.

[recession]

Don't think hostages would be right.

I don't have much to offer if that were the case...

Your friend?

[bookpapers]

[daan....]

His name's Kanda. Long hair, annoyed expression, talks in grunts sometimes.

[recession]

Oh, yes. Mr. Kanda.

I've seen his bulletin and spoke to him beside the river yesterday.

[ Wow. Talk about fire and water between you two. He looks like he might be thinking it, even. Opposites attract... ]

[bookpapers]

[lavi like now hold on there]

Yeah?

[unfortunately he also looks pleased to hear that kanda has been interacting with people]

Hope he wasn't rude...r than he usually is. He didn't attack ya, did he?

[recession]

No, he did not. Does he have a habit of doing that?

[ Hello?? Daan can handle most types of rude just fine, if not just unenthusiastically, but attacking people is a bit of a concern. ]

[bookpapers]

[JUST A BIT]

Only if you're a demon wearing a human skin! [fingerguns] And if you piss him off. But you don't seem like the type who would.

[he doesn't mention whether daan could be wearing a human skin like a poncho]

[recession]

...

[ Alright, perfectly normal things to say to a guy. Why not? ]

I'd rather avoid encouraging people to attack me, yeah. I like my blood to stay inside of my body, believe it or not.

[bookpapers]

You do seem like the inside blood type.

[what does that mean]

I'm the same way! I'd rather get along with everyone here then start anything.

[recession]

Everyone should be the "inside blood" type.

[ Please, give a shit about yourselves. ]

That's all well and good. I think things are difficult enough without purposeful troublemakers running around.

[bookpapers]

[SOMETIMES... you gotta bleed after a cyoa]

Would be nice if we didn't have any... [thinks about karma] Dunno how long that'll last with a group this big, 'specially if no one takes charge.

[recession]

[ Stop BLEEDING. ]

Mm. I'm not really all that much of a fan of being in charge, but whatever keeps everything from going down into anarchy...

...

Not that I have any idea of where to point people towards.

[bookpapers]

You don't have to point right away! Could be something simple instead, like 'don't drink the swamp water'.
