hello.

i have several questions for the outsider populace and i require truthful answers.

1. what are your abilities in battle?
2. what is your estimation of your skill with your own abilities?
3. who are you?
4. what was your proudest moment?
5. what was your weakest?

answer as you see fit. i’m not your boss.

[ this isn’t how one goes about making work acquaintances but it’s direct, it’s simple, and choso can’t be bothered to care if it meets industry standard. ]

Manjoume-san. Not "Manju"...

[Is it really that important to insist on honorifics here? Absolutely not, but Manjoume certainly has his priorities in this regard nonetheless.]

As for your other questions, I'd rather not answer those for a guy I barely know that didn't provide his own answers to these first.

[gimu]

if i gave them, would you do so in kind? [ a little tradesies between chums ]

[thundercrashes]

Sure. It would only be fair in that case.

[gimu]

nice.

1. blood manipulation.
2. i am excellent at what i can do.
4. meeting my brothers for the first time.
5. attempted murder of a brother on first meeting.

[thundercrashes]

[... err]

Seriously? Do I even want to know the reason behind the attempted murder?

[gimu]

vengeance for the death of two brothers. [ how many does this guy have? ]

[thundercrashes]

[Yeah, Manjoume is just gonna go right ahead and ask that question out loud here.]

How many brothers do you have!?

[gimu]

nine. don't you have any?

[thundercrashes]

[nine!? geez...]

I have two older brothers.

[... but he doesn't go into any more detail about them than that.]

[gimu]

have they been worthy of the name?

[thundercrashes]

What.

[Of all the things that Manjoume has ever expected to be asked about his brothers, that certainly wasn't it.]

Why do you want to know about something like that?

[gimu]

curiosity, mainly. a vested interest in brotherhood.

[thundercrashes]

[...]

Sorry, but my brothers are also something I'm not interested in discussing with a stranger. You'll have to direct your curiosity somewhere else.
