...

[why]

Please spit that out, Vash...

[piteous]

[ ...

Spits it out? ]

[dendroculi]

I'm sorry for hitting you in the face...

[piteous]

It's all right! It's not like you were aiming for me or anything.

[ He stands back up now. ]

What were you playing, anyway?

[dendroculi]

I'm not sure what it's called, but I found courts with nets on them, along with balls like that one and some rackets. I think it probably needs at least two people to play, and we're meant to hit it back and forth, over the net.

[piteous]

... They seriously should put instructions for some of these things if they want us to use them.

[ But. ]

Open for a partner?

[dendroculi]

That would be nice, but maybe it's the sort of game we're meant to figure out as we go along.

[she smiles.]

I would love that!

[piteous]

Since you don't know the rules, either, I don't want to hear any complaints while I improvise.

[ He flashes her a grin before walking over to the court and taking a racket. ]

Got any afterlife updates?

[dendroculi]

Hehe, don't worry, I won't complain.

[as long as he doesn't hit the ball too high for her, anyway...]

Umm, well... I have a team now! What about you, do you have anything to share?

[piteous]

[ He is pretty good at measuring how much he should use to get a thing somewhere, so he does tennis appropriately for her size. ]

Right, I also have a team! They're pretty swell... I think we can work well together. [ ... ] I do have some concerns, though.

[dendroculi]

Concerns...? What are you worried about?

[i hope they're just having this conversation while leisurely hitting a tennis ball back and forth bEFORE ALL OF THE BALLS GET STOLEN I GUESS]

[piteous]

[ WHO TOOK ALL THEIR BALLS ]

... They think we should weaponize tabasco.

[dendroculi]

What...?

[piteous]

Tabasco.

[ Like he's haunted. ]

[dendroculi]

How would you weaponize something like that...?

[piteous]

... You shoot it into their eyes, Nahida.

[ Devastation. ]

[dendroculi]

That sounds horrible...

[piteous]

[ Suddenly thinking about it as he bounces the ball a bit. ]

Maybe I should make some special ammo made of hot sauce...

[ Just some brainstorming to himself. ]

[dendroculi]

Please don't.

[ :( ]

[piteous]

[ OOps he laughs nervously. ]

You heard that?

[dendroculi]

[one of her ears twitches.]

I hear pretty well.

[piteous]

It's a good alternative to bullets!

[ Serves her the ball. ]

[dendroculi]

[she runs after the ball and hits it gently back]

Yes, but...! What if it gets in someone's eyes?

[piteous]

I'd only use it in self-defense... If I could avoid violence the whole game, that'd be great.

[ Their little light ping pong. ]

[dendroculi]

[ping pong, ping pong...]

Oh, self-defense would be okay.
