I could provide you with a comprehensive health plan, gym reimbursement, a 401k and a daily handy and you still wouldn’t take the job. How does your RG job stack up?

     --!

     “My job? Like, right now? I, uh ...”

      “... iiii get every Sunday off, guaranteed. Pretty sweet, huh?”

I heard that you can't jump.

Outrageous slander. I've evolved beyond the need to jump. If you'd had taken my offer, you could be this cool, too.

[nelcu]

     That’s not your headliner benefit, right? In this economy, you need to offer dental, at the least, to attract qualified candidates. Cavities don’t care if you can jump or not.

I heard that you can't jump.

Outrageous slander. I've evolved beyond the need to jump. If you'd had taken my offer, you could be this cool, too.

pyrrhicpaths​:

“Family was–” words spill so instantly, out of habit like the chatterbox that she is. Except this time they fall short before she even realizes. There’s always been comfort in opening up and sharing practically everything to Neku– and it’s not like he doesn’t already know some of her personal issues– it’s just that maybe admitting family issues will end up becoming some unnecessary trauma-dumping session. Uncertain, copper gaze accidentally meets Neku’s pretty blue pair before she could even fluidly lie to him and…

Gods, she’s thankful for that quick insight of his. A small, awkward smile graces her features in silent appreciation. “Flight was shitty– they didn’t have any good wine, can you believe it?” And family wasn’t even really her reason for visiting anyway. “So I’m hopin’ this restaurant has some good sake in their menu.”

Movements up ahead catch her attention just in time. The hazy blur of silhouette approaching them surely would’ve shoved both of them aside had she not hopped away from Neku, just enough to give the stranger space to pass through. She didn’t even hear an ‘excuse me’ from them! 

“They could at least be polite, fuck,” Iris grumbles to herself as she falls back into step next to her friend, linking arms with him just so she can keep walking while looking over her shoulder in annoyance. Maybe if she could send death-glares at the offending stranger they’ll turn around and apologize. Except they’re already gone, probably wormed their way into the dense crowd behind them. “Rude.”

      Neku had been prepared to warn her: if you get shit-faced, I am not carrying you home. The opportunity passed with the words scarcely on his lips. All of that, just now, had left him dizzier than usual, and he was regularly in a dissociative stupor these days. The hell? Did Iris trip on something? Why else would she be stumbling around and grabbing his arm? 

     Besides, she was being pretty harsh, herself. Would she have stopped to apologize, in that Player’s position? Neku wouldn’t have, and he hadn’t. In a race for your life, social etiquette tends to take a backseat, after all. If she had played the Reaper’s Game herself, she would--

      --!!

      Abruptly, Neku stopped and whirled around to scan the crowd for himself. Wait a fucking--that had been a Player that had barreled through just now, right? Neku had seen plenty fucking of them to know the difference by now. It was second nature, even; that was why he didn’t so much as flinch when a frenzied specter hurtled through him. There was no way he would mistake the dead for the living. Unless he was going even crazier than he had thought.

     Iris, in her brawny steadfastness, meanwhile had nearly dragged Neku off his feet. Fine, he could stand to put on some muscle weight! Or she could slow down! Then again, he was getting a few miffed glares all his own, for being the jackass frozen in the middle of the sidewalk. He stumbled his way back into stride alongside his ... apparently a little clairvoyant friend?

     “H-hold on. That guy just now--you could see him?”
