Theeeey'll really make anything disappear, huh. ... Guess this isn't the greatest time for asking stuff, but—anybody gotten stuff back from the sand so far?

[ a beat. some rustling as he hits the button to end the recording. before it quite finishes — ]

That was my fucking hat...!

. . .

( wait. )

[crowing]

( OH MAN, CAN YOU HEAR THE GRIN IN HIS VOICE. . .? )

You lost your hat, eeeehhhhhhh, Kazu?

[undespairing]

Maybe if we sacrifice something to the giant worms they'll spit out the things we want.

[errandry]

Shut up, man.

( but the forestalling's tiredly mild. )

Fuck, he's gonna Fang a tear in the space/time fabric if we don't figure something out.

[errandry]

No way, they're not that technologically advanced!

[undespairing]

Magic, magic!

[sixwinged]

[ This would be Agito. ]

[ Snickering. ]

[crowing]

Just wrap a towel around your head! Like a turban.

( . . . )

Then we'll figure something out then!

[errandry]

Like they'd have the brains for that either!

[errandry]

[ it is incredibly depressing how he can recognise shark snickering. ]

Oi, you aren't even allowed to start. Permissions denied.

... we're talking about my hat—it's not like I just need something stuck on my head!

[errandry]

( ... that earns a snort. )

Just like that, huh.

[crowing]

Man isn't really a man unless he's a man of action!

( and it's a good thing video isn't on since he's pretty worn the hell down from all his extensive searching and monster fighting. )

[errandry]

( you will go back to the safe zone at some point, Ikki! and then your subordinates will collectively kill you the rest of the way. )

That doesn't even make sense! You know that, right?

[sixwinged]

Fuck, go find a turtle; it'd look much better than that old thing.

[errandry]

Yeah, yeah. Just feels weird without it—

[errandry]

[ ................ ]

Who wears a turtle on his head?

[crowing]

( MAN YOU GUYS SUCK. YOU'RE ALL HORRIBLE. NO WONDER YOU ARE RANKED FIFTH. )

Only if you're stupid! What else are you gonna do anyway? Sit with your thumbs up your ass and wishing for stuff to just reappear?

[errandry]

( YEAH, 'COS THE STUPID BOSS IS STUPID. )

Hey, I'm asking around! It's not like he just lost 'em, they definitely shifted into sand.

[crowing]

They're not laying around anywhere either. I checked this whole damn place.

[crowing]

Oiiii, Kazu.

[crowing]

We could always tie a rope around your waist and throw you outta one of the windows in the Glass City.

( SPARKLES. )

Maybe you'd be able to make it home and grab another pair of his skates.

[sixwinged]

They're gone.

Just get your fucking ass back here, Crow. You're not going to find anything!

[sixwinged]

Better than nothing.
