[deathtotem]

So, an open invitation. Gotta wonder what kind of person would make an offer like that to a monster.

[Well, that clears up any remaining mystery surrounding that one network post, doesn't it?]

[yarinaosu]

[ Woop, there it is. He was wondering when contact would occur after that completely anonymous network post. ]

Isn't it obvious? Another monster.

[deathtotem]

[Yeah, don't mind him. He got a good fight out of that post but lost an arm in the process. Lots of frustration and moping. You know how it goes.]

That right? You've got my attention.

[yarinaosu]

That really all it takes?

[ Shun, don't provoke the murderbot. ]

Easier than I thought it'd be.

[deathtotem]

Aww, didn't realise you were so desperate for me to notice you.

[He sounds more amused than anything.]

I just like monsters.

[yarinaosu]

[ Can you sense his eyes rolling through the tense silence that follows that first statement. This is why he prefers direct communication, honestly, because phone calls never truly convey the proper level of 'fuck you' he often strives for. ]

Not sure what that says about you. Or me, for that matter. Aside from that you're in good company then, I guess.

[deathtotem]

[It's that level of "fuck you" that Rev likes about Shun, if he has to be honest. A certain attitude that he tends to find himself respecting in his odd manner. Doesn't mean he'll ever stop being a shit, unfortunately. Trying to get a rise out of people is just entertainment for him.]

Birds of a feather, or something like that. So tell me. What kind of monster are you?

[yarinaosu]

[ A good question, really. Shun isn't sure anymore. He knew, once upon a time, exactly what brand of monster he was. Maybe he still is or being here is helping him reclaim it instead of becoming better.

What was it the old man had said? ]

The kind that burns you alive from the inside before you even realize there was a spark in the first place. [ His anger had driven him to do such terrible, unspeakable things. It helped turn a loyal man on his own leader; he murdered him in cold blood right before his father's eyes. His monstrous nature was fiery, toxic. He ruined things and others without even truly trying to. ]

[deathtotem]

Huh. Real poetic.

[Doesn't tell him a whole lot, though. Except maybe that Shun has as much an issue with self-loathing as he does.]

What'd you do? Professional?

[Professional killer, that is.]

[yarinaosu]

[ He does. It's fine.

(No.) ]

Yakuza. That was one part of the job. You?

[deathtotem]

[Oh? Now that's interesting.]

Syndicate hitman. The best of 'em.

[He probably shouldn't sound quite so proud of that, but hey.]

Met a few yakuza here. You know Daigo?

[yarinaosu]

[ That's... unsurprising, really. And maybe he shouldn't but Shun would be a liar if he said that he wasn't proud of some of his accomplishments that involved the death of someone else. ]

Where you're from. What about here?

[ A jab. Testing. ]

I know of him. Haven't introduced myself yet, but it's different when dealing with fellow yakuza.

[deathtotem]

[Don't you sass him, you little shit. He's going to pointedly ignore his skills being called into question.]

Here I work for myself.

[If you can even call it work... Shun had seen his network post, after all. Not a whole lot to kill, here, and nothing he needs in payment.

A quiet little huff.]

Different how? Need me to hold your hand?

[yarinaosu]

[ If anyone would sass the murderbot, it'd be this guy. Nice deflection though, he takes note, and moves on. ]

Are you offering? [ Two can play at this, the weirdest game of gay chicken. ] I don't want to encroach on what he's established. I'm in my own gang and staying in my lane.

[deathtotem]

You accepting? [Yeah? Bring it on.]

Turf wars sound fun. Let's do it.

[Whose side are you on, murderbot? But don't worry, he's joking. Probably.]

[yarinaosu]

[ He looks like he's considering it, honestly. What would happen if he just grabbed Revenant's hand? The end result in his mental image has quite a bit of blood. And he only has so much, unfortunately, so- Mm. He refrains.

(This time.)

He's brave but not (always) stupid and impulsive in his actions. ]

They can be. Not my gang though, unfortunately, so not my call. Pretty sure my boss wouldn't take kindly if I started shit with another one for no good reason.

[deathtotem]

[Aw, don't worry, he's much less likely to stab people he likes. Nothing's guaranteed of course, but hey.]

Too bad. Here I thought you might be able to think for yourself.

Who's your boss? Maybe I'll say hi.

[Is Revenant really bored enough to try to start gang wars? He totally fucking is.]

[yarinaosu]

I can. Enough to think picking fights isn't in my best interest.

[ Shun is more likely to stab for someone he likes. Maybe someday he'll shank someone in Rev's name. ]

Name's Yuri. Decent enough boss. One of the few to not yank my chain and make promises he couldn't keep. I'm sure he'd love a drop-in.

[deathtotem]

[Oh, don't be such a stick-in-the-mud. Fighting is fun. Killing is better, of course.]

Hope you killed the other ones.

[You know, the chain-yankers and all that.]

[yarinaosu]

They may have had 'accidents' that left them incapacitated, at least.

[ The car that fell on one while he was working on it? Absolutely not Shun's fault whatsoever. As far as anyone could prove, anyway. ]

[deathtotem]

Heh. Knew there was a reason I liked you.

[He's easily pleased, apparently.]

Let me know if you need anyone to conveniently disappear. Kinda miss the work.

[yarinaosu]

It isn't my winning personality and charm?

[ He can joke.

Sometimes. ]

Might actually take you up on that, depending on how things go. Think Yuri's more of a 'only as a last resort' kind of guy but... What he doesn't know might not hurt him, if it comes down to it.
