& yet the fate of our world lies on his shoulders

you should watch who you call a monkey around here suguru

[gorb]

Should I?

Are you going to stop me, Satoru?

[rikugan]

ill do what i have to

[gorb]

My opinions haven't changed, they won't, but I have no choice in being here or not. The same as you. I don't plan on being near your students, as long as I'm given the same courtesy we won't have a problem.

( The hermit lifestyle is apparently looking real good. )

[rikugan]

i hope you can keep your word suguru

[ it has been over a decade now. gojo doesn't have any expectation of geto's ideology shifting just because of one near death experience. he will never be that naive. ]

[gorb]

As if I have a choice here.

What exactly do you think I'm going to do, Satoru? Make some ill-advised move?

( He still thinks the attack on the school was justified. His bid for Rika needed to happen before the boy got too strong or the higher ups killed him. He'd avoided it before. )

The curse with a conscience told me we were comrades. ( And oh, how Geto had hated it. ) And that Lilith is always watching. Dying before hasn't exactly worked out well for me. I'm not looking for a repeat.

[rikugan]

[ it looks like suguru has already met choso, but considering he can still sense the death painting womb's cursed energy, he must have somehow survived the encounter. how interesting. has his abilities been affected by LILITH too? ]

you cant expect me to believe that youre turnin over a new leaf
just bc youve been brought back from the brink of death

then again what use is your cause here?
this world isnt even our own

[gorb]

If you think I'm capable of that then you're a fool. And you've never been that, you just like playing one.

( There is no other way around asking his next question, no matter how much it sets his teeth on edge. )

Have you seen a cursed spirit here? Beyond the one I mentioned.

[rikugan]

[ he has met a cross-dimensional version of a curse called a shadow, but otherwise— ]

no
none like the ones we have back home

[gorb]

Interesting.

It doesn't matter much. All you have to do is look beyond these walls and you know they've found other ways to be parasitic.

[rikugan]

who will you be fightin to protect here then suguru?

[gorb]

( It's frustrating that he doesn't have an answer. )

Oh, I'm sure I'll make friends.

[rikugan]

to what end?

[gorb]

( With all the grace and maturity of a twenty-seven year old toddler. )

Why would I tell you?

[rikugan]

bc were both equally aimless rn

[gorb]

Your boredom hasn't had anything to do with me in an entire decade and I'm not about to start letting it again.

[rikugan]

aww dont say such hurtful words suguru
were teammates now~

[gorb]

A fact I'm taking as personal spite from the universe.

[rikugan]

fine
you dont gotta tell me

hate to break it to you tho
unless youre plannin to side with the kaiju
youre gonna have to suck it up & play nice with alllllllllll the nonsorcerers here

[gorb]

I don't think that's part of the demand Lilith set out for me, actually.

I can manage alone, I have done before.

[rikugan]

if she wanted us to manage it on our own she wouldnt have put us in teams

quit bein stubborn suguru
you dont have any more reason to be like this

[gorb]

Out of sight, out of mind? You think it's that easy? Or that I can forget everything and behave?

Maybe I was wrong earlier, maybe you are a fool.

[rikugan]

i dont need you to forget or to behave

i just dont want you to waste your time on smth that has no meanin here

[gorb]

That sounds an awful lot like you're giving me a second chance.

( It makes him feel itchy and discomfited. )

[rikugan]

isnt this place a second chance for the both of us?
