This way is . . . the dueling arena.

[ he thinks that's self-explanatory, especially once they reach said arena where dozens upon dozens of spectators have gathered in anticipation of the event. she's probably more interested in taking a look herself, so he doesn't volunteer more. ]

[vigilantics]

[ joke's on you, sandalphon, because steph is still talking. ]

What kind of duels? Not like-- to death, right? [ LOOK. SHE HAS TO ASK. ] Probably not. Have you participated? [ also probably not. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ Sigh. ]

No—on both accounts. Those duels are purely for entertainment.

[vigilantics]

Ah, so that's why you're not into it.

[ he doesn't seem to be into

fun ]

They seem to be pretty popular.

[melancoffeea]

[ she thinks he's into killing?? wow, thanks. ]

They're the celebrities of the casino. Looks like the final match is about to start . . .

[ well, that would explain the sheer number of people gathered around here. isn't the reigning duelist supposed to be absurdly popular? ]

[vigilantics]

[ STOP SHUT UP!!!!!! ]

We don't have to like, pay for tickets, right?

[ granted they're already in here so. who cares. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ well, he does want to stab a dude for revenge— ]

If we had to, we wouldn't have made it this far. Are you going to watch?

[vigilantics]

Sure, we might as well since we're already here.

[ she puts the emphasis on "we" because they are doing this together, goddamn you. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ doing things together? the concept is foreign to him. ]

Fine. Let's see what all this is about.

[ let them enjoy francy's wife. ]

[vigilantics]

[ FRANCY'S WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M FRANCY


anyway. therese is there, doing. duel stuff. ]

Oh! It's a girl.

[melancoffeea]

[ hi, francy! ]

The most renowned duelists here seem to be women.

[ between therese and ladiva, so far the crowd favorites have been female. watching therese is like watching a dance. ]

[vigilantics]

I want what you just said put onto a t-shirt.

[ god bless. ]

How do you even sign up for something like this? Can anyone do it?

[melancoffeea]

[ what? what's the point in making a t-shirt that says that? ]

As far as I know, there's no requirement. Why? Are you interested?

[vigilantics]

[ #feminism ]

I feel like it's probably a bad idea. [ it is a bad idea. ] Would you ever do it?

[melancoffeea]

[ it would be a shame to lose that leg again. he huffs. ]

No. The purpose of this arena is to entertain spectators and determine the stronger duelist. I don't feel a need to prove myself to anyone.

[vigilantics]

Oohh, sounds feisty.

[ she is sure sandy could kick ass..... ]

Is there a prize?

[melancoffeea]

[ she has way too much faith in someone who couldn't stab a boy to death. ]

Money, most likely. And the opportunity to meet with that duelist down there.

[vigilantics]

[ look. natsuo was a force of nature. ]

Huh. She must really be a big deal... [ hm. ] So money's not your thing?

[melancoffeea]

[ given how much the crowd is cheering for her, she must be bigger than big. ]

I'm an archangel. What use do I have for something like that? Anything I make is spent on coffee beans and no more.

[ read: i use the allowance from the singularity to feed my addiction. ]

[vigilantics]

...

Sandalphon, you do drink stuff other than coffee, right?

[melancoffeea]

[ . . . ]

Nonsense.

[vigilantics]

[ ......... ]

Sandalphon?

[melancoffeea]

Didn't I tell you? I'm an archangel. Unlike mortals, I needn't eat nor drink for survival.

[ so. coffee. ]

[vigilantics]

Okay, that's fair, but is there like... anything else you like?

[ look, she knew he is into coffee but she also thought he liked other things too. she does not know how far the gay extends. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ other things? sandalphon is silent as he looks at stephanie, his smile unwavering, then turns away to face the arena. ]

Looks like the duel is almost over.
