[abysmalactor]

Yeah, uh, something like that.

[He scratches the back of his head.]

Really? Guess he musta been a good ally there, at least... [Since he never wanted to be acknowledged as one of Sawatari's, bleh.]

[godofnothingness]

[Good... ....Loki nods, curling a bit more like the panda he vaguely resembles. It's odd for Loki to be like this-heck, Shingo probably hasn't even seen his fog form until now, given the other's alignment keeping it in check.

Something about it is comforting however, or at least it is to Loki himself.]

..Yeah, [he finally says, eyes dull.] ...Would've rathered she go with me though...or you, [he adds.] ...Could've been more than business for a 'field trip', then.

...I figured you'd want to stay out of that shite though.

[abysmalactor]

Yeah, pretty much. Helps to have an unbiased opinion in the house, you know? Besides, Yuya would get ~lonely~ if I left for that, don't you think?

[tl'dr he doesn't want to get on his rival's bad side, and besides, he's not too keen on either god to begin with.]

[godofnothingness]

Huh? Unbia-

[He pauses. And then despite the mood he has to laugh-and keep on laughing, until it becomes tears again and he's forced to wipe his eyes.] Pffhfhahhah..nah mate, not like that.

Just as company, you know? ...I wouldn't ask you lot to pick a side, or anything like that.

...But Feebs, she seemed ticked just knowing I'd asked him to watch her back...

...so asking her to join me on that kind of trip? Hah...better forget about it.

[abysmalactor]

[Sawatari snickers as Loki begins laughing-finally! Something he said properly lightened the mood for once!]

Yeah, yeah, I get it, just my little joke, see?

[godofnothingness]

Pfffhahahaha...right..!

[Hahhh...he sits a little more properly, rubbing his head.] ...Ahhh...guess I can't really action duel properly in the tree like this though, or I'd offer a match again...though I guess you didn't bring one of those disks over to borrow anyway huh...

[abysmalactor]

Nah, maybe you'd be the field instead, at this rate...

[Wow, rude. But actually, now that you mention it...]

Actually, I was working on getting one of my own, but it's taking some time...

[godofnothingness]

Oii!! I'm not that big..!

[And oh?] What, you were? What's taking so long then?

[abysmalactor]

Well, kinda got interrupted by the whole mess last month...between that an' Kurosaki leaving, it's been a bit of a mess...

[He shrugs, laughing nervously.]

That, and I have to wait for a full moon to finish it off, anyway...

[godofnothingness]

Huh, moon timing makes sense, you miss one you got a month to go...

Oi, hold on then, you have everything else ready though right?!

[abysmalactor]

Actually, no...

[Sigh. Wow, this guy is pretty helpless sometimes, huh?]

I've gotten one of the things so far- [Thanks, Reira.] -but the others, I'm still looking for.

[godofnothingness]

[Uh huh...]

...Well what the hell are you waiting for then, what else so you need mate?

[abysmalactor]

Er...wood from a certain kinda tree, a hand of cards from a winning game, and an oiled crank.

[godofnothingness]

Is that so... [And slowly, a grin comes over his face.] ...What kind of tree, huh?

[abysmalactor]

Um...

[Give him a second...]

It has to be from the base of a tree, where the leaves are so thick that sunlight can't touch its trunk, I think...

[godofnothingness]

Soooo...in other words...

[He grins.] This one!

And hell, I might just have a crank and some oil lying around in here too, never know what this tree's hiding! What do you need to do with all the pieces under the moon anyway?

[abysmalactor]

Well I uh...I gotta set 'em on fire!

[Well.]

[godofnothingness]

.............Fire.

[Ah.]

Well, dueling's out then...

[abysmalactor]

...Yeah. Y' can see why I wasn't so keen on trying one of our usual duel sessions, huh?

[godofnothingness]

Yeah....huh...

[Oh. But.] ....Ever play poker, mate?

[abysmalactor]

Hm, well...I know my father plays it sometimes, on outings with other politicians. I've observed a few games, but I'm not overly familiar with it, myself...

[Duel Monsters > Poker, to this child.]

[godofnothingness]

[A grin comes over his face.]

...Wanna learn?

[abysmalactor]

[Oh. Ohhhh.]

I'm open to a round or two.

[godofnothingness]

Then it looks like I ought to teach you a bit about another game, huh?

[Though. Hmm.] ...Though, speaking honestly mate, poker's the sort of game you want more people around for...

[abysmalactor]

Hm, well...I guess we could always ask Yuya, right? He pops over for action duels all the time, I don't see why he would say no to a game.
