"Heyyy, you've reached Ruby! Er, well, you haven't really reached me, because I'm not actually here right now! Eheh...heh...

Anyway, I'll get back to you! ...No really!"

[fatalstriker]

Can't fault you for it. It's not like there's much excitement there anyway, unlike most places around here.

[undaunts]

Yeah... I miss home sometimes. At least in Remnant you knew that you could go fight giant monsters at any given moment. And there were missions and sparring practice and things!

[...Cerealia is boring in comparison.]

[fatalstriker]

You can do stuff like that here too, you know.

[there are absolutely options for this. just. not at the grocery store.]

[undaunts]

Yeah, but it's not the saaaame.

[She's fifteen, she can whine if she wants to and you can't stop her.]

Beacon was just...different!

[fatalstriker]

[why does he hang out with teenage girls so much. how did this become his life?]

'Course it is, but that doesn't mean you can't make your own fun of it. Gotta learn to make every fight a fun one.

[undaunts]

[You know you like it, Yuri, it's your calling in life to hang out with teenage girls.]

... Well. That sounds about right. [This is fair??] How do you make every fight a fun one?

[fatalstriker]

[apparently so, but he never asked for this.]

Depends on the fight. Sometimes you just have to impose a little challenge for yourself. [and thus we learned why the boss fights have secret missions.]

[undaunts]

... Huh.

What sooort of challenge?

[She's feeling game for this!!]

[fatalstriker]

Depends on the fight. Sometimes it's how I hit a knock-down. Sometimes, it's sending a punk right off a boat.

[he gets creative.]

[undaunts]

.... Cool.

[Yeah, she's all over that.]

Was it a big splash when they hit the water?

[fatalstriker]

Would've been a nicer show if the splash was bigger. But it pissed him off good, so it evens out in the end.

[maybe yuri enjoys it a little too much when he can best zagi. but really, that guy is such a crazy asshole. who can blame him?]

[undaunts]

Ooooh... so it's a grudge match.

[Ruby where do you even learn these things.]

[fatalstriker]

I think you're overstating it. The only one with a grudge is that guy.

[yuri just thinks he's a pain in the ass.]

[undaunts]

...So you have a stalker...?

[That's getting more questionable now.]

[fatalstriker]

Stalker would be putting it way too lightly.

[his whole life is questionable, ruby. haven't you figured this out yet...]

[undaunts]

Yuri.

[This is very important.]

How do you get stalkers?

[fatalstriker]

If I knew, I'd tell you.

[he doesn't know, though. it just sort of happens.]

[undaunts]

I mean, I don't want stalkers. Mostly. I just think that if you had stalkers it'd mean that you must really be doing a good job at something, you know?

[no ruby]

[fatalstriker]

Nah. The guy was out to kill Flynn and mixed me up with him. Guess he just got pissed off when I kicked his ass, because he's got a grudge about it now.

[undaunts]

... So yeah! You were totally badass and that got you a stalker.

... I kind of want to be badass enough for a stalker.

[ruby no]

[fatalstriker]

Believe me, you don't want a guy... or anyone else... like that following you around.

[undaunts]

I guess not...

But then I'd know I was a successful Huntress...

[fatalstriker]

You can probably do the successful thing without a murderous stalker on your hands.

[stop getting ideas like this in your head please, ruby. he doesn't need yang trying to kill him for it.]

[undaunts]

... I guess that's true!

[At least she perks up easily enough.]

If people ask for my autograph, then that would count too, I think!

[fatalstriker]

Sounds like it's probably the better way to go. Autographs, good. Stalkers, bad.

[that seems like it's spoken in a way she'll get well enough.]
