[ toooo the rooftop, where kazunari is drawing in his sketchbook! he gives november a little wave. ]

Hey. Thanks for trying to keep Fenty out of that whole thing, in trial. Sometimes that kid really worries me.

[thejkdefense]

[Hey there, Kazunari.

November had seen Kazunari a moment earlier, and had left without saying a word. Now that he was back, he just tossed a can of baja blast mountain dew at him again. Is he just going to keep tossing this stuff at Kazunari every time he sees him? Who knows]

Danny is too impulsive for his own good. Someone has to rein him in -- and of course he'll get upset at anyone trying to.

[It really makes November glad he can have a 100% objective thought process, with no emotion. Seeing what others do when their emotions get involved is a reminder Contractors are lucky on this regard, in his opinion]

[dms]

[ damn okay. he's absolutely not expecting this, so he barely blocks it from hitting him, fumbles the can, and barely manages to catch it. ]

Uh... Thanks?

[ ???? he's too surprised to formulate an actual response right now, please hold. ]

[thejkdefense]

You told me to bring you some next time we talked, in case you don't remember. [He flashes a grin] Welcome back to being your usual self once again.

[dms]

Oh... right. Thanks, I guess.

[ well it's not like he can open it now after almost dropping it, so he just. sets it down on the table. ]

...Are you used to this kind of thing? I remember that you said you were a spy before.

[thejkdefense]

In a way, yes. Although nobody I have worked with since a decade ago are like most people here. It's difficult to plan accordingly when something unexpected could happen because someone may act differently to what I expect.

[He's a Contractor, working alongside Contractors, to fight against Contractors. Everyone involved is methodical, rational, and free from any guilt or conscience. Not to say they're unfeeling -- heck, November is no bleeding heart but he's far more pleasant than most of his kind -- but given their way of thinking, predicting moves and taking action comes easy.

Here it doesn't, because everyone is...unpredictable. Not only they're not Contractors, they're not even in criminal organizations, or in law enforcement -- professions he's routinely working with or outsmarting, or both when it's law enforcements]

[dms]

Hah... Yeah, you did say you're used to considering everything, didn't you? And everything going on here is really crazy... I think it would be more surprising if you could predict any of it, with how little information we have.

[thejkdefense]

If it's difficult for me I imagine it's even harder for others, less used to death and mayhem as I am.

[Which includes Kazunari, really, as far as he knows]

[dms]

...You're probably right. There's not much we can do but try to get used to it, though, is there?

[thejkdefense]

Try not to get used to it. This is not the sort of thing you want to get used to.

[Somehow, November has grown fond of a number of people here. Definitely not enough to, like, give his life for them or anything like that -- but enough to appreciate them as they are. It'd be a shame to see that marred by this bloody experience]

[dms]

I don't want to. [ sigh. ] But wouldn't it help to be prepared for what will happen?
