“And you look the same as usual.” … That sounded a lot sassier in her head. “Uuughh, maybe. Just trying something different is all! Been sticking way too long with almost looking exactly like Drift. Though we haven’t gotten a lot of new recruits, Stray and Serge at least got cool unique ‘fits!”

“You look stupid—“

“Best part of my new outfit? Honestly actually being able to BREATHE a bit! Being all covered up is so suffocating at times… eugh…”

Somethin’ tells me you jus’ lying to get some flattery out of me. You think I’m soft, huh? I outta —

Awwww so you’re worried too! No worries, I ain’t actually gonna go up to her or anything. You’re my favorite outta all the lords, don’t need more.

Morality ain’t my thing. I jus’ think you gon’ find more issues than not.

✧ 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 ✧@alteredparadigm.bsky.social · last wk.

Exactly. Jealous. I ain’t gonna police you though, just wanted to yap and annoy you a bit with some morality! It’s kinda my thing!

I would shoot the fuck out of this person

HUH??? YOU MOCK ME FOR BEING REASONABLE!???!!1!1 I cannot believe you! WE’VE BEEN BEST FRIENDS FOR SO LONG AND YOU DO THIS. (Very obviously fake sniffle) You’re just jealous… I get it….

‘hrhrgh yea im gonna go be friends with this random person because she looks like this guy but a girl tee hee tee hee’ That’s you. That’s how you sound like.

✧ 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 ✧@alteredparadigm.bsky.social · last wk.

Heeey, I’m just being considerate since she’s practically on the same boat I was at the start of the first island! I don’t think I would’ve appreciated having a gun pointed at me the second we arrived. But! You do you! Maybe it can be a fun game of trying to see who can dodge bullets faster.

… Absolutely not. We already got someone in that role, and I’m not gonna be changin’ my style. You don’t even know this chick!

✧ 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 ✧@alteredparadigm.bsky.social · last wk.

Huh. When you put it that way then maaaybe. Then again, I’m nothing like Drift! Unless I was at the start..? I really don’t remember, there was a lot of Drifts to the point where I don’t even recall the original— BESIDES THE POINT! Maybe she’s not an /exact/ copy! She could be part of your crew!

BULLSHIT! If she exactly like me, then she’s /also/ plannin’ to kill me! I’m drawin’ the gun first!

✧ 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 ✧@alteredparadigm.bsky.social · last wk.

… .. . Honestly, knowing you I don’t know why I’m surprised. GIVE HER A CHANCE THOUGH! She could be cool..?

YYYYYYEEEEEESSSS… Yes.

Meanwhile... A helmeted man cladded in red would have been taking an aiming position at the top of the building's rooftop not too far from the new arrival ; the man taking notice of her from the scope of his heavy caliber sniper rifle . " What the... " The mercenary muttered under his breath.

Her assumption was correct ; the red-cladded man coming to stop and wait on the answer until his hands went onto his hips, words at the very tip of his nonexistent tongue until she finally comes to answer. “ All I know 'bout the Zero Point is that it ain't somethin' you should be messin' with. ” +

“Maybe. I don’t like thinking too much unless I need to! Doesn’t mean I’m not wrong though.~” She would brush her hands against each other. “I’m guessing you’d like one of those fancy TVs that hang off a wall maybe?”
