If your shoes smelled like puke and you couldn't get the smell out, what would you do?

Besides buying new ones!!! (￣Ｏ￣)



Oh, hey, hey, guys! I wanna know. Have you been winning lots of points?? You've all better be working hard too! ♪

[such great options to pick from!!]

I haven't met anyone like that yet, but I guess we're bound to get all kinds of weirdos in a place like this. [that seems to be a sad theme in his life...]

Hmm? They would have to adapt to using dictionaries and reference books again, probably. Where I come from, most people have internet even on their phones, so that isn't really a scenario that might become true.

[gatto]

[it's so hard to pick just one!!]

Boo, but he's probably more ANNOYING than the rest of them!! He even wears this tacky tiara!!

Where I'm from, we haven't even been able to use cell phones in a LONG time. But when I was a kid, we still had them! If that happened to you guys, most people probably wouldn't know what to do, eh?

[outfoxing]

He sounds like an eclectic person, but are you sure he isn't just a little mentally unsound? [because he sure does sound like your stereotypical "claiming to be royalty" nutcase whoops...]

I would guess it'd be something like mass panic if that happened. People are so reliant on their computers and cell phones that society would cease to function if they were suddenly lost. Can I ask what happened to them where you're from?

[gatto]

He probably IS crazy too!! He's stupid, yeah, but it's gotta be more than just that!

That's just sad! I've never gotten to use one before and I don't mind!

The Third Division messed up a lot of things in Japan. That's why cell phones don't work there anymore. [Wait, if he doesn't even know about it, he wouldn't recognize the name, would he? What was that other name some people called it...] World War 3.

[can you get more stereotypically post-apocalyptic]

[outfoxing]

Well, he might just be so crazy that he seems unintelligent. [you'd be surprised by the amount of people he runs into on the daily who fall under that category

but his attention is quickly absorbed by that whole WWIII thing instead. geez Rin, that is much worse than potential solar flares... "much worse" and "much more interesting" are interchangeable terms here, of course.]

Wow, another world war? What year did that occur for you? I'm from Japan too, but we haven't seen anything like a third division, etc.

[gatto]

So he's so crazy he's stupid?? Yeah, yeah, that's gotta be what's wrong with him!

I was just a kid when it happened. I guess it ended around... [Insert year between the mid to late 20xx's here, because canon is mean.] I don't even really remember it well!

Maybe it just won't happen for you guys~

[outfoxing]

It wouldn't be completely unheard of. There are cases similar to that.

But that sounds like a terrible time. I'm surprised there's still a functioning society at all. Where I come from, people usually believe that a WWIII would end the human race. [he's a little curious as to whether or not there's some huge population deficit in Rin's time...]

[gatto]

Have you seen them before??

EH, REALLY? Why?! Things are real messed up, but we're all still here.

[outfoxing]

I have! They're pretty unpleasant people.

Weapons would be the reason for that, though. With the kind of nuclear capabilities the world currently possesses, entire countries could be wiped off of the map in seconds if another world war broke out.

[gatto]

If they're all like the prince, they've GOTTA be! I don't know what I'd do if I had to deal with more than one of him!!

OH! That sounds really bad!! I don't know. The weapons did make it so we can't live in some places anymore. But I guess we just didn't lose that many people! Maybe it's cause the war kind of ended before everyone expected.

[outfoxing]

It would be tiresome, I think. I haven't had to deal with more than one or two at a time, thankfully.

If you take "a few uninhabitable areas" and stretch it out across entire continents, that's what most people picture when a third world war is brought up. But what brought the war to a close so soon? Or were people just assuming it would last a long time?

[gatto]

I don't know about tiresome. They'd probably just drive you crazy too!!

I guess we're pretty lucky we're not all dead then, huh? I guess they just thought it'd last longer. Japan was still working on getting even more soldiers, you know! And then it all just...

...Ended.

[outfoxing]

I don't know about that... Maybe if someone's tolerance was really low to begin with. [who is he kidding, he's seen crazy spread like wildfire on multiple occasions.]

That is pretty lucky, though.If there is a world war 3 ahead of us, most people would be pleased to know the planet is still standing afterward.

[gatto]

But they're REALLY annoying!! [Look who's talking.] I don't know if any kind of tolerance would help with THAT!

I told you, it's real messed up, but the PLANET did survive! It just sounds kind of weird to worry about that after the war.

[outfoxing]

Well you would never really know until you gave it a try yourself, right? [Excellent Ideas 101]

I guess it's a privilege only those who haven't been through the war itself have... Worrying about consequences that may or may not come to pass is a general hobby of humanity, I think.

[gatto]

Nah! I've already got the stupid prince bothering me!! [The most excellent of the excellent ideas.]

It's kind of weird, don't you think? You can't just get all shaken up every time you think something bad might happen.

[outfoxing]

Ah, that's right. Are you staying in the same room? [now that would be a comedic trainwreck in the making]

I don't see much point in it personally, but it would be difficult to convince most people of that.

[gatto]

No way!! I don't think I'd ever even SLEEP in that room if we were! [No, they just burst into each other's rooms.]

I guess it's like you said before. They just need the EXPERIENCE!

[outfoxing]

If he's already managed to ruin some of your personal belongings, a little wariness is understandable. [or, you know, excessive amounts of wariness and plastic bags for the rest of his shoes]

More or less! But I don't think anyone would trade worry in for an actual disaster.

[gatto]

[Well, that was partially his own fault, but he's not mentioning that...] Yeah, yeah, you're right! I'm not really WORRIED cause of him, but I don't wanna be around him anyway!!

Yeah. It's better if they don't have to live through anything bad~ ♪

[outfoxing]

If he gives you any more trouble you could always get your hands on his shoes, right? [encouraging cycles of revenge aw yeah Rin's landed himself an A+ counselor.]

I would say it might end some of the more pointless complaining, but people will always find reasons to complain, I think.

[gatto]

Why just his shoes?? There's a lot of other things I could do, you know! [Just his kind of counselor, awwyeeaah.]

Some people probably just like complaining!

[outfoxing]

True! In the end, it might be best to avoid his shoes entirely. It could be easily pinned on you as a crime of revenge if you did that, wouldn't it? [kudou why]

Some find it cathartic, I'm sure. There's really no end to the strange things people find comforting.

[gatto]

But I don't care if he finds out!! He knows I'm gonna get REVENGE anyway!

I guess people can just be real weird, yeah? [Hypocrite, he loves to complain.]

[outfoxing]

Oh, have you already said that to him? [in his head he is thinking something along the lines of but why though. rule one, never show your hand to a target!! gosh, is he gonna have to teach some stealth revenge tactics now.]

That seems to be the case! I think things would be very boring if they weren't.
