[With one hand stretched out and the other holding onto something mounted over his shoulder, Ban popped in on his own post. He looked somewhat dizzy, throwing himself to the side very suddenly. Landing on his feet, Ban looked as if he had just rolled off of the side of a horse--one belonging to an unconscious Masamune Date. Ban shifted the load on his shoulder before tossing him over the back of the horse. At that point, one would be able to see his face in the midst of being knocked out, slumped over the horse.

He looked as if he had been tossed in the dirt--which was pretty much what happened.]

Hey. [Ban gave Masamune's cheek a little smack. He gave him another one. He even settled for pinching his nose shut for a little. Nothing happened.]

Need some heeeelp~. I gave him a pat on the back and he got knocked out.

[Then, Ban lifted a bottle of liquor to his lips--one that apparently came out of nowhere--drinking it back for a few moments before returning to what he was saying.]

Someone wanna take a look at him? There's gotta be somebody who likes this guy~. So, hurry up before I start tryin' to treat him.

[ No, the Atlantean dice she's speaking of are definitely made of porous sea-stone; wood, in some cases, but those don't roll as well. She wouldn't know what the Chanteans make theirs out of. ]

Do you have a deck?

[perma_banned]

Nope. I must be an idiot, not thinkin' to steal one when I had the chaaaance~.

[Of course, Ban raided closets and the kitchen instead of the game rooms.

It was a short-sighted error on his part.]

Couuuurse, I was just talkin' to a friend about gettin' a deck.

[adlantisag]

When you do--

[ Not 'if', because if anyone knows how he operates by now... ]

--you should teach me to play.

[perma_banned]

That could be done~.

[Plus, there was the added bonus that--]

I already said I'd treat my buddy and teach him some games, so that's faaaair.

[adlantisag]

Who is your friend?

[ There's a clicking noise on Kida's end before a giant catlike head appears in the feed, yellow eyes blinking. Ninat makes more soft crooning clicks and watches Ban carefully, even as Kida wraps an arm around her massive crested neck. ]

[perma_banned]

[Ban had an answer set out, but it was shoved aside by the eye contact he made with Ninat.]

He's a cool skeleton named Papyrus.

[It was a flat answer, but then--Ban was staring down a new, weird animal.]

Who's yours?

[adlantisag]

This is Ninat. [ Turning to the cat: ] Ni-nu, tokh kereg.

[ Ninat blinks owlishly at Ban, then opens her jaw--what comes out is a strange clicking, almost like a dolphin. ]

She says hello. [ Sure she does, Kida. ] Your friend is...a skeleton?

[ Hadn't she seen a skeleton on the network, recently...? ]

[perma_banned]

Ah.

[He seriously didn't understand that first part.

Was Kida sneezing...?]

Looks like a cool seadog to me~.

[That said--]

But, yes, he's a skeleton. A talking skeleton, too~. Weird, ain't it?

[adlantisag]

[ Atlantean does kind of sound like artful sneezing tbqh. ]

I--yes. How does...

[ 'that work', she almost finishes, only to guess instead: ] Is he magic?

[perma_banned]

I think he is--a little, anyway.

'Cause, there just ain't other explanation for it.

[That was really all there was to it. Papyrus was just a cool skeleton.]

Not that it matters~. He's way better than most people, so it doesn't matter what he is.

[adlantisag]

[ Oh, this is cute. Go on, Ban, gush about your buddy. ]

He has made a good impression, I see. How did you meet?

[perma_banned]

We met in the baaar~.

[This was the least surprising thing in the world.]

I told him I could do twenty thousand push-ups and he goaded me on~. He was a nice guy from the start!

[adlantisag]

[ The least surprising indeed. ]

Twenty thousand? I would call that impressive, but surely not for you.

[ She's seen Ban in action, after all. ]

[perma_banned]

I was drinkin' and pretty sleepy ♪. I figured I'd go easy on myseeelf.

[Though, he knew even a hundred push-ups would impress Papyrus. Ban had wanted to go way further than that.]
