Good morning, Champions.]

Chor.. Ch... Chorizo!

[Choromatsu. She means Choromatsu.

She'll lean into the hug.]

A-Alive.... he's alive...

[buddyoldpal]

Ahh, Choromatsu-kun, huh?

[ Well, he's definitely the weakest of the bunch, that's not surprising, is it... More importantly, Nari's upset so she must've walked in on quite the scene. ]

Ya saved him, did ya? Good job, Nari-chan.

[ Yes, there is a hug here for you, Nari. Maybe this'll calm you down... ]

[everylittlesecret]

[She's upset because she could have lost him so easily.]

Heart... Queenie... Yuuri... helped. They all helped.

[Hug is very appreciated, but she's going to cling.]

He... He tried to... that idiot....

[buddyoldpal]

Good. Ya did good, all of ya.

[ It's cool he's a strong guy, he is here for clingy hugs. Who would have guessed? ]

Hah. He did, huh? [ Nishitani can't say he's all too surprised... he hasn't seen the kid around much. ] Tch, dumb kid.

[everylittlesecret]

Queenie's... with him. She won't leave him. I couldn't... I couldn't stay in there...

[That's what family does, right? Let their family members cling to them.]

Really dumb... Gonna slap him....

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, she's damn good at that. Just let 'er do 'er thing.

[ That is what families do, Nishitani's pretty sure. He only had the one dad to worry about, once. ]

Yeah, bet we'll all wanna give 'im a piece when he wakes up, huh? Gonna be a line, dontcha worry bout that.

[everylittlesecret]

She's like a mama bear... Heart is like a fucking tin soldier watching over them both...

[Or that's how it was when Nari left the room.]

I know... Fuck... I'm... I saved another life... What the fuck?

[buddyoldpal]

That's good. They got it covered, Nari-chan. Ya did good gettin' some space.

[ Probably don't need to crowd the kid, or stay with other people who are panicking. ]

's pretty fuckin' rad, ain't it, Nari-chan? Yer like a damn pro!

[everylittlesecret]

That guy... he's loved... he better know that now.

[She'll check on him later... much later...]

.... I don't want to be one......... I know why I became a librarian... I handle the dead better than the living. I want quiet. I want peace... the dead don't yell at you if you do something wrong to them.... the living do. The living are demanding. The dead are just bodies that need to get ready to be interred or cremated... Just... I don't know what to do. I don't know how my dad handles saving people so easily...

[buddyoldpal]

Damn right.

[ I mean, maybe not by him directly, but it's obvious he has friends. ]

Hey, it's all good. People're whiny assholes, ya got that right, but when yer the one savin' em ya can tell em to shut the fuck up.

[everylittlesecret]

[She's not a friend, just... someone who wouldn't want Choromatsu dead.]

Or give them a shot... Make them be quiet.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Yep, he's definitely on that page too, Nari. ]

Now that's the Nari-chan I know an' love.

[ He grins. Yes, tell him more about how you'd knock people out for pissing you off. ]

[everylittlesecret]

[She snort laughs, shaking her head.]

What? The hardest part will be having to guess their weight so I don't accidentally overdose and kill them. That's actually really easy to do, and man, there have been some prolific serial killers who have done that and made it look like allergic reactions or natural causes.
