Maybe stuff down here is like... preserved or something. Like it's stuck in time. -She was suddenly very worried if her loot wouldn't, like, dematerialize as soon as she left.-

[matchbreaker]

... That's possible, I suppose?

[ But them, there was some stuff that looked old and spoiled, right? And if everything was stuck, wouldn't they be stuck? Still, as she's pondering it a bat calls, she tilts her head up and holds out her arm for the thing to land there, and she locks eyes with it after she does.

... Mmmhm. Okay. Mmmhm. ]

... There's a train waiting for us already, apparently?

[me_matey]

...


...


Um are we just not gonna mention that you just talked to a bat?! -Yes, yes, train waiting for them, perfect, but BAT?! TALKING TO?!-

[matchbreaker]

... You didn't hear me say anything, did you?

[ . . . . . . . .

No yeah she says this with a straight face. ]

[me_matey]

Whether you did it with your mouth or what, it still happened! -Now that she thought about it, that pamphlet the woman had grabbed mentioned vampires...-

Wait... Are you a vampire?!

[matchbreaker]

[ I mean she's not... really been hiding it but for now with the bat shifting to sort of hang on her sleeve she smiles and shrugs and her red eyes look to make eye contact with the other and - ]

Well, not yet!

[me_matey]

I hope this doesn't mean you were cheating during the ninja warrior course. -Like she had any room to talk, but still!-

[matchbreaker]

No, no! Not like I can turn into a bat or anything! That was all my muscles and reflexes!

[ Which... is was. Though they were also super reflexes and super strength, even if she wasn't doing it in such a way that she would overwhelm it all. ]

[me_matey]

Hmmmmm... -May gives Elda the stinkeye for just a bit before sighing and shaking her head.-

I guess I ain't got room to talk.

[matchbreaker]

[ Ahahaha... ha. ]

If you want, I'll race you again anytime. Or a strength check.

[me_matey]

Maybe later. You know how to box? -And hopefully Elda hadn't been in attendance for her fight against Majima...-

[matchbreaker]

[ She had not! She saw the advert but ain't her scene. ]

Not really, no. [ A shrug. ] Actually, I should probably learn that or some more offensive martial arts, start with lessons one of these days. Mostly I've done a lot of self-defense courses.

[me_matey]

Well shit, I can teach you how to box. It's not as hard as it looks, it's just all about not panicking when the fists start flyin'...

[matchbreaker]

[ Nod, nod. ]

I might take you up on that. I've had other people offer to teach me to shoot or use a sword or whatever and I just... don't like the idea of that.

[me_matey]

I mean, I can also teach you how to use a two-prong hook anchor as a weapon, too, but that ain't useful. Boxing is something I learned here, as the OG me. It's way more intuitive.

[matchbreaker]

For all my efforts, I've gained nothing from that other me in terms of fighting. I suppose for all her strength she was mostly a homemaker.

[ Mostly.

Sort of. ]

[me_matey]

Maybe she's the type that fights purely on instinct? I've seen some people with no training at all that kick a ton of ass. -May herself was like that before Johnny taught her some actual form.-

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, it's possible! You think I'd get something though, even some memories.

[ That said...

Motioning for May? Are we going to that train or ignoring it or...? ]

[me_matey]

... Oh! No no, you go on ahead. My roomie is down here, and I gotta make sure she gets back safe. I made a promise. -Her voice has a considerable softness to it when she says that, far more so than ever was usual.-

[matchbreaker]

... Oh geez, if you've got that going on, don't go wasting more time with me. I'm plenty capable of getting out of here.

[ She nods though and then pauses before waving her off. ] Maybe I'll try to hold it for you two.

[me_matey]

I'll shoot her a text real quick. She's probably just resting somewhere. -Or talking to ghosts, since THAT was apparently a thing Sakura could do.-

[matchbreaker]

[ That look on the girl's face...

Well, to be young. Elda smirks and waves it off. Like she said, she will go on ahead but also like she said, she'll try to hold the train if that's an option. ... Who knows, it might be some other one you need to fight and she'll clean it up before they get there. Either way, later. ]
