w1, monday.

[ They're at SportzZone! because Enrichment. Aventurine is here with a glass of beer that he isn't really drinking, watching as some sort of relay takes place on the TV screens.

He will look over when he hears Boothill joining him. ]

... Do people usually swim with batons?

[shirtbag]

Batons?

[ slides into the barstool with his beer! ]

Where the heck did that idea come from?

[tactic]

Maybe it's meant to make the race more challenging?

[ It does look especially unwieldy... Also, he will slide Boothill his own beer. ]

I've barely touched it.

[shirtbag]

[ oh...? ]

Lost your appetite for it?

[tactic]

Figured you'd appreciate it more.

[ Change of plans now that Boothill is here. ]

It feels quiet around here, doesn't it? I'd almost describe it as peaceful.

[shirtbag]

[ takes a big swig ]

Yeah. Easy to lose your forkin' mind in. Another eight weeks of this hootenanny or else, what? We lose everything we got the last time? And we just get to sit here drinkin' Jamba Juice and play video games?

[tactic]

I think you and I know better than to expect it to last. We'll get a troublemaker eventually.

[ Slight pause as he thinks about something. ]

Though maybe not one as much of a handful as Karma.

[shirtbag]

[ scaramouche we're all here waiting for you to set something on fire ]

I do miss that kid, but heck if he didn't stress us the fork out.

Y'all watched the livin' side when you were all roughin' it on that bus, right?

[tactic]

We did. There wasn't much else to do. Why do you ask?

[shirtbag]

Who do ya think's the troublemaker?

[tactic]

That Childe guy seems eager to cause trouble.

[shirtbag]

I'd say so. Guy was itchin' to fight day one. Gets cursed a whole heck of a lot too.

[tactic]

It's like he's the Lavi of this round.

[ IT'S THE REDHEADS ]

[shirtbag]

Guy gets caught up in a lot of situations with that little guy too. Makes you think of those two sorcerer kids.

You ever visit any of 'im?

[tactic]

I haven't had the chance.

[ HE CAN BARELY VISIT HIS BOYFRIEND ]

I drop by the village sometimes, in case anyone's left any messages, but things have been quiet.

[shirtbag]

[ SPEAKING OF ]

You ain't gone to see Nehan?

[tactic]

[ Why does everyone think he hasn't seen Nehan. ]

... Well, I didn't realize we were including him. Of course I've seen Nehan.

[shirtbag]

[ because we're trying to find an in to make him talk about nehan ]

Oh. You made it sound like you were too busy to do any kinda visit.

[tactic]

I find the time using less than orthodox means.

[ HE WANTS HIS PAID VACATION. ]

Besides that, and I told Essek this already, but I'm trying not to mention his name while we're here. Speaking from experience, the last thing I need is for this place to psychologically torture me with him.

[shirtbag]

[ frowns. ]

Really now? [ ... ] I won't say nothin' if you don't want me to, but speakin' from my own experience, feels like these games get inside your head no matter what you gab about.

[tactic]

I'm lowering my odds. Anything to lessen that chance, Ranger.

[shirtbag]

...Guess there really are some things you won't go leavin' to chance.

[ aventurine was lucky and unlucky in a lot of ways in scawwy. rip his precious tooth ]

Can I ask what those "unorthodox methods" are then, or is that classified too?

[tactic]

[ HIS SCRIMSHAW ]

So curious about my methods. You're still a wanted criminal at my place of work, you know.

[shirtbag]

Heh. And you're still in danger of bein' on the wrong end of my gun, lucky or not.

[ karlach would be pissed at him but at least boothill wouldn't kill him? ]

But we can wait on that till after the game is over. Won't do squat for me here.

[tactic]

A return to our temporary truce. Why, I'm starting to think we're more allies than enemies at this rate.
