[This is a really...odd question to ask. And Kaneda knows it. But something's been on his mind as of late, especially with his new job working out the way it is. Boredom begets creativity, and thus the feed opens up to our favourite biker teen sitting at his desk in Neo Tokyo, sliding back and forth on his rolling stool as he plays with a thumbtack.

Poking his skin lightly with the tip. It makes no impression, and it's as if it were going into silly putty rather than actual skin.]


Does...anyone know where to get something that can block my powers? I don't know, like a magic bracelet or something?

[He has his reasons.


He totally has his reasons.]


I want a tattoo.


[They're related, honest.]

[She's just glad they got some sort of enjoyment from that doodle!]

So, let me get this straight... you're not cooking your own kind..?

[KANEDA, YOU LIAR.]

[video]

[rassera]

H-Hey!!

Distant ancestors still count, you know!

[Kaneda. Shut up.]

[video]

[rideme]

Not even a little.

... My 'distant ancestors' are dragons.

[He's. Not even joking about that part.]

Probably.

[video]

[tridentity]

[Totally didn't hear the probably part. Though she'd still be as excited regardless.]

Wa--Dragons!? Does that mean you have dragon powers?!

How did you not know about this, Kaneda-kun!?

[video]

[rassera]

[Kaneda, on the other hand, seems just as surrised as she is.]

BullSHIT you're related to dragons!

[video]

[rideme]

Something like that.

[He winks at her -- how that gesture is both a) accomplished with one eye, and b) conveyed to just her and not Kaneda is anyone's guess.]

[To the other kid, he just lifts his eyebrows.]

Did I never tell you that story? Shit, it's a good one.

[video]

[tridentity]

[The wink causes her to become even more giddy and also slightly envious -- why can't she have that cool ancestry.]

No fair!! You get to be related to dragons and have cool powers?! You should definitely show it to me one day!

[She would ask to demonstrate now, but using it indoors seems like it would have a lot of collateral damage? Plus, she would rather hear this story.]

[video]

[rassera]

He's lying.

[Nothing adds up.]

If he was related to dragons, then why does he get off on killing 'em?

[video]

[rideme]

Sure thing, kid. Next time something bad goes down.

[Another wink.]

That. Is one hell of a complicated question, Canada.

[video]

[tridentity]

[You just made her day, Bull. She's just internally cheering, but there are sparkles in her eyes as she imagines the different possibilities of his powers.

Unfortunately, Kaneda's words finally registered to her and now she's kind of sad? There must be a misunderstanding.]

--Wait, kill? Maybe he's just excited to put them to sleep for dreaming time?

[video]

[rassera]

[Kaneda's brows raise, although whether they're to her or to Bull is another story entirely.]


That's implying that he's ever met one. He's tried to bring one here, taking fish and throwing them at a fountain. I told him that story about the fish that swam up the waterfall and became a dragon, right?

So he tried to do it himself.

[video]

[rideme]

Hey! I met one! I fought it, too!

[Yeah, he's not arguing the fish thing. That totally happened. He'll own up to that much.]

[video]

[tridentity]

Waah--that's awesome! Did you get into a disagreement or something since you fought?

[video]

[rassera]

Probably called him a cow, that's why.

[video]

[rideme]

What, no.

They're animals. Predators. It wanted to eat me, and I didn't want it to.

[video]

[tridentity]

But aren't you related to them?! Why would they want to eat family!!

[What is logic.]

[video]

[rassera]

Don't forget, this means he also wants to fight his family.


[Kaneda, you are the biggest shithead.]

[video]

[rideme]

Kid, I don't know, I'm just telling you what my Tamassran used to say.

... you're not helping, Canada.
