It was a super special shove.

[He calls this over the entire company's conversation. ☆]

[ SPAWNING A HAMSTER-SIZED SHADOW AND MAKING IT LUNGE AT ANON'S FACE

SHUT UP!! LET HER TELL HIM!! ]

[anonnomnomnom]

[CASUALLY STRETCHES HIS FACE AND SWALLOWS THE SHADOW???

Now there's two of them.......]

[respring]

[ SPAWNS FIFTEEN HAMSTER-SIZED SHADOWS THAT ARE GOING TO CHASE AT HIS HEELS AND BE NUISANCES WHILE ACTIVELY AVOIDING HIS MOUTH

GO. SHOO. GET OUTTA HERE. ]

[anonnomnomnom]

[Wow rude?? He's laughing and retreating, though, dancing around a little while the hamster-shadows clamor at his heels and probably looking around for something to whap them with.

Hey, are there any rolled up newspapers around here? Anyone? Bueller?]

[foundfate]

Guys, come on. Not in the shop yard.

[That said, both of them are pretty impressive. 10/10 would watch the fight again.]

[respring]

[ WAH

whirling back around to face him once Anon leaves ]

...sorry about that. Um. It's--well. It was something I was going to talk to you about once we all got settled, but...that definitely didn't happen, did it? It's--about Ann. We don't have to talk about it right now, if you don't want, of course, just...just so you know.

[foundfate]

...right.

[He thinks he knows what this is about, but please not in front of everyone Sakura.]

We can talk about that later, sure.

[respring]

[ she would never, oh my god. she would die, that's so fucking personal

what sort of person do you think she is, noodle??? ]

Mmm. [ a nod. at the change of topic, she looks less flustered. ] In the meantime...what are we going to do?

[foundfate]

We need a plan. Fortunately I have shut off the Foundation fragment from access to the shop, so nobody should be able to trace us from that world to here. That gives us time to work uninterrupted.

But if we're going to stop him, we're going to need to learn how to stop a shinigami.

...or how to kill one, alternatively. In fact, it's probably safer all around if we just find a way to kill him.

[respring]

[ a nod ]

I was trying to contain him, while we were back there...how much do you know about the Imaginary Number Space? It would be a good way to get rid of him, actually, but...the problem is me getting close enough to be able to trap him.

[ and as we all know, Sakura is a squishy human. He'd kill her before she had the chance to open the void. ]

[foundfate]

And if he can resist your effects or not. We could probably protect you, but it would be all for naught if he could avoid the Imaginary Number Space.

[respring]

...could he? [ a pause ] I've used it to trap Servants before, but is he really more powerful than that on his own? I mean, when he doesn't have those switches that made everyone drop.

[ shinigami captain vs. servant, steel cage match ]

[foundfate]

I don't know. We would need an expert on Shinigami to know for certain.

[respring]

He was looking for that boy...Kurosaki-san, right? Maybe we can ask him.

Er, once the dust settles, and that shinigami won't be keeping as close of an eye on him.

[foundfate]

That's not a bad idea. But yes, waiting is a good idea for now. I don't want to risk drawing the wrong kind of attention while they are on high alert.

...But, er...after I've rested, want to go catch a movie or something?

[Date night DATE NIGHT]

[respring]

[ Oh. Her face lights up like a goddamn Christmas tree. ]

A-Ah...! Yes, I'd love that.

[ Right. They're stuck in the same dimension for a while. She was thinking it'd be a while before they actually got to spend some time together. Silver linings. ]

[foundfate]

[Sakura. He can take her to literally any dimension, going out for a movie is a non-issue.]

Great! Then, um, what kind of movies do you like?

[respring]

[ I more mean she was thinking, had the Clown Incident not happened, there'd be a period of time where everyone took a few weeks to breathe and get their shit together, gosh. BUT FINE, IF HE WOULD HAVE SURPRISED HER TWO DAYS LATER THAT WOULD HAVE YIELDED ZERO COMPLAINTS FROM HER. ]

I like horror movies. [ no surprise ] Thrillers and things like that are also nice. But I know those sorts of movies aren't for everyone, ahaha...what do you like?
