rageface | Fortieth Reap → Action

[The last couple of weeks have been really eventful for Ragna. He died and his death penalty took away the Azure he was used to, leaving with with a worthless arm and eye. Stuff happened between himself and Noel. And he learned how to bake brownies, give or take. Given that most of this happened while Ragna was trying to hole himself up in hiding or in the house, Ragna decided that he needed to get outside and do something. Something productive. So what does he decide to do?

A night at Good Spirits.

It's kind of productive. Socially productive. Only a little bit, because he's not all that social anyway. But it's a thing he's doing, and it's taking a lot out of him given the fact that he's showing up in public with a worthless arm and eye. It shows weakness, and it's something Ragna doesn't want to broadcast to the world. But he can't hide in the house forever. Noel had been nagging him about it, and he didn't want to hear it from someone else he knows when they realize he hasn't been getting that much air. People can be annoying, gosh.

Anyway, once Ragna settles himself in the bar, he minds his own business and resigns himself to looking kind of mopey by the bar counter with a drink in hand. A light drink, because he's learned that holding his liquor is virtually impossible for him. Or maybe it was that god awful drink Nami brought him -- doesn't matter, he's sticking to the light stuff.

Come bother the guy since he's out and about for the first time, and not trying to be sneaky. But he is trying to look normal, which just makes him look weird. Like side-eying people and accidentally making faces.]

[>8C]

That's the face you were making, Good Guy.

That's a load of crap! Human faces can't even do... whatever the hell you just did with your face! [Is that even a face!?]

Then you should practice!

[wait what

what

that escalated quickly]

Let me rephrase that. I can't do that, and I don't want to!

[Huuuuffff. She flops a little on the counter, obviously bored. And kind of confused. Why are you making faces if you don't want to???]

So what are you doing here, meow?

[Don't question his motives.] Being social. [STRAIGHT. FACE.]

But you're not being social, Good Guy! You're making faces at your drink.

No, I'm not! [Pause.] I meant about the faces -- I'm trying to be social!

Then why aren't you talking to people?

I'm talking to you.

You weren't talking to people before you talked to meow.

[8|]

You have to ease into it, okay? I was waiting for the right moment.

And when's that?

[8|...]

When I-- [ajkdhdf] None of your business!

[Flopping on the bar counter (which she probably isn't supposed to be behind in the first place but shhh).]

What are you drinking, then?

[Okay. This is a conversation topic he can get behind.]

Soda.

Maybe you were making faces because it doesn't taste very good, meow.

Why wouldn't it taste good? [To prove her wrong, he takes a sip.] Tastes perfectly fine--

I wasn't making faces!

[Great, now she's thirsty too.]

Can Tao try some too?

Yeah, if you get your own. [He knows how dangerous sharing food can be with Tao. Ragna isn't sure he wants to find out if drinks are the same way.]

Okay!

[And there she goes, disappearing behind the bar counter.

...

...

That is 20 shades of "probably not allowed", and it might lead to her being banned from Good Spirits, but like she cares about that.]

[Ah... yeah, he should probably say something about that. Because it's not that it occurs to Ragna that it's probably not allowed. No, it's the fact that this is Taokaka.

And she might cause something to explode back there.] Uh... Tao?

[Sorry, your Taokaka is in another castle. But at least you get to hear a]

Meow?

[in response. And no explosions...~~yet.~~]

Tao-- be careful! [He doesn't want to get in trouble when he's just trying to socialize. Keyword is trying, but still.]

Tao is careful!

[........oh who is she kidding]
