RL with Ange;

[ It'd been a little longer than she'd wanted to wait for this, but she knew that she and Ange both were pretty close to Steve. He had a lot of friends, but Yuri wasn't close enough to most of them to really worry about inviting them over to just.. well, talk. Make sure they were okay. At the very least, she could do that with Ange. She would've gone over to Ange's world, but that would've run the risk of any of the other people from Rokkenjima on the community coming and bothering them.

Not that she'd even told Ange too far in advance that she was coming over. A quick private message via the comm that she was coming for her was all the notice Ange would get before Yuri would arrive and worldhop (now that she'd managed to fix it, anyway) her over to the afterlife. ]

No, this one was actually pretty well thought out. Just trust me, Ange. [ There's a brief pause, before she goes and grabs Ange's hand. Yuri was already constantly terrified that everyone she knew on this community was going to die, she knew that Ange probably was feeling the same way. She's already watched Ange die and Ange got lucky. She'd watched Steve freeze, slowly, while they talked about stupid things like dancing. She knew what was supposed to happen to Battler if she couldn't stop it. But there was one guarantee she knew she could offer, at least with herself.

I'm already dead, I'm not going anywhere.

[ Ange wouldn't either, while she was here. This camping trip wasn't entirely about making Ange feel better. Just knowing that Ange was somewhere where she would be safe for a little while too made Yuri feel a little safer as well. ]

[ .. There's surprise for a moment when her hand is grabbed, enough for the deadpan and lineface to actually slip for a slight moment to allow said surprise to enter her expression. Really, beyond all the ways she might talk about Yuri and her weird (and mostly painful for the people around her) plans, she does trust the other girl. Yuri's already helped her before, after all, spent time with her..

Is she truly getting so afraid of ending up all alone that she's turning it into a self-fulfilling prophecy by turning people away since losing them might hurt in the future? ]

.. If you say so.. I'll trust you. [ her voice is a little softer, even if right after she still makes a brave attempt at sounding a little stronger, even if it doesn't fully succeed. ] If I end up finding a bug anywhere on my body I'm going to murder something.

Fortunately for you, the only animals that are really here are fish. I'm not even sure what they eat, but I've never been bugged by bugs. Which is kind of weird, since there aren't even cats or dogs. You'd think if they wanted us to move on faster, they'd be all about offering fluffy friends.

[ But that probably prevents Shiina from disappearing right off the face of this world from the cute. So it's not all bad if Shiina gets to stay. ]

Let's get going! [ She releases Ange's hand and starts heading off toward the forest after picking up a pretty large bag and handing one over to Ange as well. ] You get to carry this one.

Lucky me. [ At least that statement is full of sarcasm, even if it's more a pathetic sort of sarcasm as some sort of last resort.

But she does take the bag from Yuri, not actually complaining about it despite her earlier remark. She's just following after the other girl, but the moment she fears she might sink back into her thoughts and get lost and miserable in them, she (almost carefully for her standards) speaks up again though. ]

.. Do you do this kind of thing often?

[ Yuri turns her head and looks at Ange, a second later turning around altogether to walk backward, apparently not watching where she's going even though they're heading into the forest. ]

Go camping? Not really. I'd never go without the SSS usually either.

[ It's okay, Ange's watching out for her now.. She can see what's 'behind' Yuri now, after all, so she'll call out if the other girl is about to run into a tree. ]

So I'm a special exception. I should feel honored.

[ Excellent. Be her other set of eyes, Ange.. ]

One of very few. Probably the only person I've gone camping alone with.

[ They're a team now!! Semi-depressed camping superhero team.. ]

Because you don't have to worry about me trying anything funny while we're alone, right?

Who would I worry about trying anything funny?

[ She's not actually worried about that anymore.. ]

[ not like Ange knows!! ]

Why wouldn't you?

No one tries anything weird with me, Ange.

[ It's not weird or funny if she lets him sob.. ]

They could. [ keeping secrets from your fake!imouto forever.. i'd say she sees how it is but the problem is that she doesn't, huh. ]

In fact, there's plenty who would, right? You've already summed up whole lists of guys before.

[ even if that was vague. ]

Well the SSS hasn't done anything weird with me yet. And Battler.. [ Uhhhhhh... ] W-Well, he wouldn't do anything weird.

....

You're blushing.

[ this is said with quite possibly the most flat tone ever. ]

I am not! [ Most surprised face. And is still blushing. ]

[ As if you can deny it while you're still blushing, Yuri..!! ]

I'm sorry, in that case I'll just assume our definitions of 'blushing' aren't the same and just say that your face is getting red.

[ Let's just.. phrase it this way... ]

Battler wouldn't do anything that I didn't give him permission to. There's nothing to worry about. And only you're allowed to know that, okay? The only other person who got to was Steve and that's just because he.. [ Shakes her head ] Anyway, I'm telling you because he's your brother. [ Yuri you didn't even say anything. ]

[ give her a moment to just.. stare.

seriously, Yuri, did you have to put it that way-- well, not like it wasn't sort of obvious between the two of them either way, but it's actually like that for sure, huh? She can assume what would fall under that 'anything' if she's looking like this, after all.

Whatever, let the two of them have their fun. ]

Is this where I'm supposed to say 'congratulations'?

Wh-wh-what is there to congratulate!? I was just letting you know because you're important to both of us and-- and nothing really happened, anyway! Geez. [ She's just telling because Ange is the little sister and her friend! ] And seriously, don't tell anyone. I don't really..

[ For once it feels like she's having the upper hand here, with Yuri being all.. well, flustered while she's the calm one. Not that Ange is really the type to exploit that though, so she just shrugs as well as she can with the bag in her arms. ]

My lips are sealed, if that makes you feel any better. I don't see why I should proclaim what's between you and Battler onii-chan to the entire community either way. It reeks of bad gossip magazines.

Thanks. [ Uhg, why did she even bring it up? It felt wrong keeping it from Ange, just because she and Ange were so close and so were Battler and Ange. It felt wrong to keep at least the fact that they were a little more than friends from her. She didn't need to know anything else, just... ] Have you been camping before?

[ As if she doesn't notice that quick topic change. Not that she comments on it, but still, it's pretty obvious. Be glad Ange is nice enough (or more like cares about you enough) to go along with it, Yuri. ]

You've probably already guessed, right? No, I never did this before. Not like my aunt would have let me even if I wanted to.

[ Hey, she did the right thing and at least let Ange know before it seemed like they were going behind her back!! Nobody else gets to know, but family's important to Yuri so if Battler's got a problem with Ange knowing, he can deal with it. Everybody else it's none of their business.

Yuri looks like she's about to walk into a tree while she's still going backward here btw. ]

What if you'd gone with that bodyguard you told me about?

[ ssh, it's okay, not like Ange would go up to Battler and be like 'so hey, what were those makeouts like' or anything. You're safe, Yuri. ]

He would just have tried to cop a feel if I did, that idiot pervert. [ she frowns at the thought, but instead she calls out-- ] Two steps to the right, Yuri.

[ Yuri takes two steps to the right without even glancing back or hesitating. She trusts Ange. ]

One of these days, we should hop back to your world and play a huge prank on him.
