Lost a duel.

[sacredpath]

Sorry to hear that. I suppose it still smarts.

[kumeyuri]

It is what it is. It just means I wasn't strong enough.

[matter of fact, rather than self-deprecating.]

[sacredpath]

[yeah. yeah...]

In a way, that's probably true of most of us.

[kumeyuri]

I'd hope not everyone here died violent deaths, although I guess that might be asking for a lot.

[sacredpath]

I think it's a larger number than you'd find among the general population.

[kumeyuri]

Guess it makes sense for there to be some kind of pattern if we all ended up in the same place.

[sacredpath]

Well. For what it is worth, I am sorry that you had to come to be here.

[kumeyuri]

Likewise. [a beat, and then because this is getting very somber—] Y'know, assuming you weren't a real jerk who had it coming.

[sacredpath]

Ah. I regret to tell you, I probably was.

[kumeyuri]

Think you might've made a wrong turn to get here, then.

[sacredpath]

I know. It really doesn't add up.

[kumeyuri]

[flashes a peace sign]

Well, that makes two of us. Probably more.

[sacredpath]

[help. she finds this funny.]

...I don't know what that gesture you're making means. I hope it's not vulgar.

[she knows it's not, that's not his vibe, but it's funny to pretend.]

[kumeyuri]

[dismayed]

... So many of you are confused by this...

[sacredpath]

If you explained it, I would be less confused?

[kumeyuri]

[shifts his weight awkwardly]

It's... just a gesture meant to express energy? Usually affirmative.

[sacredpath]

[gives him a peace sign...]

[kumeyuri]
