Style: [these fun things]
Status: OOOOPEN

[So hey. There's this girl. She's been in this place for a while, helped out with a lot of things, and today she got to help do something awesome! Cores are important to the Bastion after all, so that's a good thing.

Except she kind of... lit herself on fire and a lot of people saw it.

Anyone want to talk to her about that?

In all seriousness, Rin can be found after all that hubbub taking a break near the apartments, outside because she really doesn't want to be in her room right now. She's nursing a bit of a wound on her thigh from sliding on her legs under the bird earlier, but whatever road rash she got from doing so is starting to fade finally. Her sword is lying next to her in the grass, and she's just on her back, watching the odd sky above the Bastion quietly.

Mostly because her ears are still kind of ringing from what Crona did.

Ringing ears won't stop her from holding a conversation, though, if anyone cares to bother her, and she's in a decent mood given their accomplishments.]

[That earns a look, too tired to be properly angry but annoyed enough that the implication is there.]

End of the world or not, I ain't gonna burden some poor child with what I got stuck with just because my real father is a colossal asshole.

[kyotoprincess]

[See, this is where fun things begin.

Bon is the only child of a very important family. While his father tried not to pressure Bon into any career, especially not one running the temple, everyone else always operated under the assumption that Bon would take over for his father someday and become the new head of the temple.

With that job came responsibilities, one of which was ensuring that the next generation happened.

Sure, Bon had decided to become an exorcist instead of a priest. But that didn't undo fifteen years of hearing about arrange marriages and 'it's for the good of the family line.' To him, kids aren't a choice: they an inevitable event.]

And what's your husband gonna think when he hears that?

[hellpyre]

[Don't mind Rin choking over here, Bon.]

What husband?

[kyotoprincess]

Well you gotta have a husband before you have kids!

[Come on Rin this is elementary stuff here. It's frustrating that he has to spell it out like this, and the tone in his voice might be rising a little.]

[hellpyre]

You say that like anyone is gonna put up with me long enough to marry me in the first place!

[oop there goes her voice]

[kyotoprincess]

Well not if you keep yelling like that!

[Yeah he's not even trying to hold it back now. Yelling time is a go.]

[hellpyre]

[Looks like it's that time of the day again]

WELL NO ONE'S GONNA WANNA MARRY YOU IF YOU KEEP YELLIN' LIKE THAT YOU BIG GORILLA!

[kyotoprincess]

WHO WOULD WANT TO MARRY A LOUDMOUTH GIRL WHO GETS IN TROUBLE ALL THE TIME?!

[It's the contest of who would never ever get married.]

[hellpyre]

WHO WOULD WANNA MARRY A GUY WHO DYES HIS HAIR AND WORKS OUT ALL THE TIME IT'S LAME AND BORING!

[Rin is the best at these arguments]

[kyotoprincess]

WHO WOULD WANT TO MARRY A DUMBASS SLACKER WHO CAN'T EVEN COME UP WITH NEW INSULTS?!

[he's pulled away from Rin and is standing up now, by the way. It's easier to yell when standing.]

[hellpyre]

YEAH WELL--

[wait no get back here she has to be at least almost eye level with you]

--YEAH WELL YOUR FACE IS STUPID!

[... thank you Rin for being exactly what he said you were]

[kyotoprincess]

[See, when the 'your face' stuff comes out, Bon knows he's won. So he's smirking now, and he's not so yell-y when he speaks again.]

See? Told you. You're not creative at all.

[hellpyre]

Nnn-!

[Rin stomps her foot on the ground, letting out an annoyed snarl at the whole thing.]

I'd kick you but I think you'd like it. Jerk.

[kyotoprincess]

[He kinda sorta forgot what they were arguing about, but he still feels like he won this argument. Fuck yes.

And he'll go ahead and settle back down on the ground, now that the yelling is done. But that brings him another thought.]

...You know, there's not really that much here yet.

[hellpyre]

[Whump.

Rin drops back down with a huff, crossing her legs as her tail twitches, still mildly annoyed but very much on the 'whatever...' end of it now.]

It's gonna take a while before we get more... Cores really don't come up as much as we'd like.

[kyotoprincess]

Yeah I noticed. This is the first one in what, two weeks?

[hellpyre]

Somethin' like that... but a farm is still better than how we have been.

[kyotoprincess]

I was getting tired of the same food all the time.

[Potatoes are good to grow since they can survive a lot, but you can only eat them so may times before you're tired of them.]

[hellpyre]

Hey I tried to change it up sometimes.

[kyotoprincess]

There's only so many ways to cook potatoes.

[hellpyre]

You should be grateful I cook for you at all. At least we had food.

[kyotoprincess]

If you're going to be pissy about it, I can cook for myself.

[He's nowhere near as talented as Rin but he can at least keep himself from starving.]

[hellpyre]

You're the only one complianin', Bon.

[kyotoprincess]

[Swats at 8| ]

It doesn't matter anyway, it sounds like we'll be getting more than we'll ever need now.

[hellpyre]

Eep--!

[Rin attempts to dodge the swat by leaning back, but in the end all it does is make her lose her balance and cause her to flop on to her back again.]

Erf...

Yeah. Well. Good.
