Warnings: N/A for now!

[Floor 4]
Look, you know, while you're here, you're probably going to have to realize that, at some point, it's okay to kill things.

[Ah, it looks like whatever you're planning to do in this lounge might have to be dealt with later, considering it's occupied with... a pair of twins, sort of.]

—Just make sure you have a good reason for it.

[And discussing about a serious subject here. By the way, the ones that's been saying this is the one with the bandages, Satsujinki. While the one wearing glasses, Shiki Tohno is just looking mildly uncomfortable here.]

Even so, to do that kind of thing to live people still feels...

[There's a downcast look from Shiki as Satsujinki gave a tired sigh, but not saying anything else as the other continued.]

I don't think I can do it, if something like last month happened again.

[A sigh from Shiki now. It's not that surprising for him to be like that, after all, he did kill someone when everyone was being brainwashed, while Satsujinki just rubs his head.

To the older male, this might be a dumb argument in a way. The only reason he's even doing this is that he doesn't want to see someone like Satsuki dead anymore. And thus, it's only normal for him to give advice to his younger self, right?]

...What's with the sudden interest anyways?

[Shiki's just scratching the back of his head with a sort of confused expression, he has a hunch on what the older male is thinking about, but well... before you could hear Satsujinki's answer—]

I'll tell you when we're alone again.

[Ah, it looks like they noticed you from a mile away. What do you do now?]

[Floor 25]
[...The meadow floor is generally a quiet place to relax.

But well, looks like it's currently occupied by a pair of twins sparring with knives as they locked blades, push each other away, and charge at each other with intent to kill.

It's really clear that the one covered with bandage is winning, judging by how he's unscathed as opposed to the younger male, whose uniform is currently sporting several cuts as he failed to dodge some of the attacks aimed at him.

They don't seem to mind you watching, as they continued on their... spar (if it can even be called that.)]

((OOC: We'll be tagging separately, but we're also liable to threadjack every so often, so there's that too!))

[well, if it's any comfort, it's going to be parried as Shiki looks a little bit dazed after doing that, considering well—

he wasn't really expecting that to happen.]

Did that just—

[concept_killer]

It's in your blood. You know, some people boost themselves with magic power or demonic abilities or becoming vampires. That kind of thing.

Our family didn't have that option so they did a kind of eugenics where they made sure their kids would inherit all the best traits and not get the worst ones.

You and I are the perfect result of that, with physical abilities that go beyond Dead Apostle Ancestor's. You just have to let it happen and come out, like now. Soon enough, you'll learn how to use it consciously.

[linesofdeath]

[...ah, this explains the very few occurrences that he displayed... this during the battles that almost took his life.

He's still afraid of what would happen if he lost control of it, considering that even if the person's before him is really himself, things went differently for him.

So would it be only natural for differing things to occur as well?

...At the very least, the doubt on that other side of his is dissipating at a quick rate right now.]

—Consciously, huh. Sounds like I still have a lot more to work on.

[concept_killer]

All you need is practice. And I bet Satsuki would be more than happy to play a game of high stakes tag with you. If she hits you, you'll probably get hurt pretty bad.

[linesofdeath]

...I'm not sure whether you're joking or actually being serious about this.

[P SURE HE'S DEAD IF SHE HITS HIM LIKE THAT.]

[concept_killer]

I think I'll ask her right now.

[linesofdeath]

You're actually serious about this.

[just. facepalming over here.]

[concept_killer]

It's good training. Almost as good as real experience.

[linesofdeath]

No, I'm pretty sure it would be a real one if she goes all out.

[concept_killer]

Even better.

[linesofdeath]

Is this a training session or a murder session!?

[concept_killer]

Satsuki wouldn't hurt you that bad.

[linesofdeath]

...Well, you got a point there.

[but he's seen how... wild she could get at times.]

[concept_killer]

If it went too far, you could say I'd disapprove.

[linesofdeath]

..........

[...There's a sigh. Training would really help him with the kind of perils this place has, and the longer he could survive, the better.]

Fine, I'll do this.

[concept_killer]

See, I knew you'd warm up to the idea.

[linesofdeath]

Gee, it's like you're a psychic or something.

[...yeah.]

[concept_killer]

In case you didn't know, what we do with our eyes is technically a psychic ability.

[linesofdeath]

Well, yeah, but not the kind that's able to predict the exact future.

[just seeing the end of someone's life nbd.]
