Who: Colin Starfury, Anyone Else
Open: Open
When: Day 113, Late "Morning"
Where: Arriving from the Skyway
What: Someone new arrives at the Bastion
Format: Action
Warnings: None

[Well, here's something to behold. It looks as though someone's come back from the skyway. Only, this isn't an established resident of the Bastion. Someone new has been added!

Colin's trudging past the onsen with heavy footsteps, he seems to have been traveling for a while. But he's got a wide grin on his face. Oh, and he's got a holstered pistol and a bulky-looking pack hanging on his belt, if that might make anyone wary.

Once he's sure that the ground is solid and not going to behave weirdly, Colin stops in his tracks and starts looking around, taking in his surroundings. He also raises his hand to drum his fingers on his left wrist. Anyone feel like approaching the new guy?]

I don't hate you. [Destroying planets doesn't phase Crona one bit.

And Crona's calm statement is enough to distract Rangarok, though he doesn't let go of Colin's shirt.]

What the hell, Crona! This guy's an asshole!

... so are you, Ragnarok.

So what?

[freedom_engineer]

[Colin turns a curious gaze to Crona, all but ignoring Ragnarok's hold on his shirt. He's considering his words for the moment, so he only has one thing to say.]

Is that so?

[blackblooded]

[A shrug, awkwardly failing at making eye contact.]

Y-you're not a bad person, I don't think. Not really. Just different. And I don't know how to deal with people, you know? S-so I say things that aren't the right thing to say.

... but it would still be gross for Ragnarok to date someone.

Oy! If I wanted to date some chick you wouldn't get to have a say in it! I'm keeping you alive, you should be grateful!

[freedom_engineer]

[Colin is silent for a moment, considering Crona's words. He's also resetting his indignation and trying to figure out where this stands.]

I'm surprised, but not unpleasantly so. I too have issues dealing with people. Different from yours. I apologize for snapping at you.

[He looks at Ragnarok then.]

Yes, I can see how it would be disconcerting, but as long as you don't deny the possibility...

[blackblooded]

[Crona shifts weight from one foot to another, then pokes Ragnarok in the face with a cautious finger.]

Let go of him, Ragnarok.

Why? You gonna give me something if I do?

... You can have a cupcake. I'll get Rin to make one.

[That is apparently enough of a bribe to get the demon sword to let go of Colin's shirt.]

[freedom_engineer]

Thank you.

[You'll have to forgive the delay, Colin's brain is now nice and scrambled. He's silent for several moments, then his sighs, takes a step back, and raises his hand to his forehead in frustration.]

I've done you a disservice. Probably several. I think I need to lay down, I've got a lot to process...

[blackblooded]

[Crona nods, understanding.]

S-sometimes it's good to sit in a corner for a while.
