Hey.  I’m not into public introductions, it feels like AA or something.  Name’s Rudolf Ushiromiya, just got a few questions here for the rest of you.

Anyone know how exactly they decide where you go?  It’s like a horoscope, right?  Personalities and all that.  So what’s the formula, if you want specifics, it’d be Baldr.  If you don’t like how they judged you, who do you talk to about getting a switch?  I don’t like the idea of somebody just assuming who I am.

Oh yeah, and what kind of jobs are up for grabs, or businesses that might be needed.  This suite doesn’t really suit my tastes.  …And I guess I’m gonna have to buy cigarettes.

[Oh yes.]

Yeah, of course. A little shy but, nothing wrong with that, it sounds cute.

[This is... so uncomfortable...

She's reminded of how someone else told her the same exact thing and it skeeves her out even more-

... Wait. Ushiromiya... could it be?!]

[burntviolet]

[She'll speak again some few minutes later... for once, she doesn't feel bad for making him wait.]

... E-excuse me... d-do you perhaps know o-of someone named... B-Battler?

[gunsgoldgirls]

...Battler? Yeah, people keep asking about that, he's my dumb kid. Why, do you know him, did he do something to you?

[burntviolet]

[...

... Like father, like son.

Guess it won't hurt... much... to point it out...?]

... He t-told me the s-same things you said n-now...

[gunsgoldgirls]

.....

Dumbass.

[He scratches his head, frowning.]

Hey, sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you or anything, it's just a compliment, I figure shy girls could use a confidence boost, right? You tell me whatever Battler's been doing and I'll be sure to tear him a new one for you.

[burntviolet]

[... Her shoulders slump as she relaxes a bit. This didn't go as bad as she expected.]

I'm... f-fine. I'm... not used to be t-told certain things, a-and they... unsettle me a little.

He o-only said one thing too many and I hung up o-on him.

[gunsgoldgirls]

If it's enough to get you to hang up, then it's way too much! I'll kill 'im for you, don't worry about a thing.

[burntviolet]

... P-please don't be t-too violent on your son.

I have n-no ill will t-towards him... just, I want him to realize he c-can't say certain things... [LMAO he didn't really go too far...]

[gunsgoldgirls]

It's not like I'm actually going to hurt him, he hates me enough as it is, just...I don't know, give him a noogie or something.

[burntviolet]

... That's fine, th-then. I don't like violence... I've s-seen too much of it these days.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Yeah? Was something happening?

[burntviolet]

Yes... u-um... p-people getting stabbed and... k-killed in atrocious ways...

[gunsgoldgirls]

What, seriously?

[He makes a frustrated sound and fishes around his pockets for a cigarette, because that's definitely not settling information.]

That sounds more like what I just came from, that kinda crap is really happening?

[burntviolet]

Yes... and the victims o-often didn't listen to the gods, and they g-got punished for it. The d-deaths occured s-seemingly because the gods wanted to... prove a point.

Those who d-died came back to life, however...

[gunsgoldgirls]

[Yeah that sure does sound like Rokkenjima...]

I guess coming back's okay...

[burntviolet]

Yes, but the t-trauma of it all still remains. I don't like th-their methods at all.

[gunsgoldgirls]

For sure, it doesn't matter if you can come right back to life, dying...isn't fun.

[give him a moment to uwoo about having just died...]

[burntviolet]

[They way he worded it weird her out a bit...]

It really isn't... a-although I never experienced it.

[gunsgoldgirls]

I think I have now. Seems to be the case, anyway. I kind of thought that's what this was at first. I hope if Battler's here that means he's safe, but I guess I'm proof it doesn't necessarily. But it's not like people just come back to life back home, this is still a bit better.

[burntviolet]

[Ok, now she has to ask it.]

... Did you die i-in your world, sir?

[gunsgoldgirls]

Yeah, I think so. Just under ten others from our family were killed before me, and then my wife and I were attacked, pretty sure I heard her scream, so...yeah, yeah I definitely died.

[It was all pretty sudden, after all]

[burntviolet]

...

I'm sorry, sir. That's... t-terrible.

[gunsgoldgirls]

[He shrugs] It is what it is, we probably deserved it.

[burntviolet]

... May I ask why?

[Stupid curiosity ghhh]
