[ hey he's still working on the dorm thing despite it all ]

All right.

[ Nier will be there! Fishing. ]

[darksubverted]

[..........why is he leveling his Fishing, hello? Riku sort of squints at him from the end of the bridge, and then wanders over to stand by him.]

Are you really fishing in the moat...?

[amain]

[ Watch him catch a fish, Riku! He actually does get lucky and catches one. ]

Yeah, though it's been a while since I last fish.

[darksubverted]

[WHAT?!?!? HELLO? He leans over to look at this. STOP CATCHING THE DECORATIVE MOAT FISH!?]

...you're going to put it back, right?

[amain]

Yeah.

[ He doesn't have a bucket to put them in, so of course fishy goes back into the moat. ]

[darksubverted]

[Oh. Nice. Goodbye, fwish. He leans over the bridge to peer into the water.]

Don't tell me you dragged me out here to get me to fish.

[amain]

You don't have a rod, so how would you fish?

[ ANSWER HIM, RIKU ]

[darksubverted]

With yours.

[amain]

... Do you want to fish?

[ what the fuck is happening ]

[darksubverted]

[damn, imagine getting notifs from gmail ever]

I might as well? Am I supposed to stand here beside you while you fish? You're not catching me any big ones...

[This is the little brother you get, Nier.]

[amain]

[ my notifs too help ]

... You want me to catch a big fish for you? [ Riku, you are so strange. ] If you want to fish, you can say that. Normally.

[ tsundere ]

[darksubverted]

[He turns his head sort of up and away, propping his chin on a palm on the bridge rail.]

See how big of a fish you can catch, and then I'll catch one bigger.

[amain]

... You know I measure the fish I catch?

[ This is SO STUPID. ]

[darksubverted]

And? I'll catch one bigger, there will just be proof of it.

[amain]

Okay, Riku.

[ He gives him the makeshift rod. ]

[darksubverted]

[He hands it back.]

You first. Starting right now. Catch one, and then I'll catch one. We'll see whose is bigger.

[amain]

[ ................. i swear ]

I don't know when I'll catch the next one.

[darksubverted]

I'll wait.

[He's patient. Sorta.]

[amain]

[ okay. well. I guess he's going to keep fishing! ]

... Are you tired, Riku?

[darksubverted]

[Oh. This finally gets him to stop sticking his nose up in the air the other way. He peers at Nier.]

Tired of what? This place?

[amain]

Just tired.

[ General. ]

[darksubverted]

[Hmmm. He glances back out over the bridge at the water, and is quiet for a long time.]

...A little. But I guess I have plenty of time to rest in the darkness.

[amain]

[ Nier squints at first. ]

... Sorry, I needed a moment to remember that you mean that place? You were in. And not you being "edgy."

[darksubverted]

"Edgy"? [He gives Nier an offended, very teenager look.] I'm being serious.

You're the one out here saying you don't exist. You can't get any edgier than that.

[amain]

I know you are.

[ He's genuinely sorry. Please. ]

Hey, I was serious, too. [ ... ] Though I think the funny part is that the void is just a white expanse.

[ Nothing like DARKNESS. ]
