Weren't you paying attention? They said you can win something, but you have to play.

[ There is a high chance that he is still here getting through this game with Chobe just for that very reason. Now on to the question: what do you wanna be called? Stupid! This guy should have asked for this name!!! Too late now! ]

By my name. [ He answered the question! ]

Truth or dare?

[brother_nature]

Yeah, exactly, 'something.' Are ya gonna be satisfied when they give a free cookie? Hah!

[Though truthfully Chobe would in fact play to win for something trivial, if it meant crushing others that wanted it.

He gives a half snicker half sneer at Till's answer.]

Pft. Cocky ass brat. Fine, hit me with another truth.

[uptill]

Are you stupid?

If it's something that comes from where I originate then it can't be a fucking cookie. Besides, we get to choose the item.

[ If it had been at random, however, Till realizes he could have received something unpleasant. Not to imply he thoroughly read the rules before playing. He only reviewed them just now... ]

Okay, asshole. Tell me what happened to your face.

[brother_nature]

I might be a little stupid. [He's got a sharp mind but has zero issue playing that down. And frankly he knows he tends to think with his instincts before his head sometimes. He'll own it!] But I'm smart enough to not trust deals like that. I'll eat my words if it doesn't backfire on folks.

[Magical mcguffin rewards are on his list of most hated things. But distracted from that, there's a brief flash of genuine surprise at the question, and after a moment, he lets out a laugh.]

Hah! Would you believe yer the first to actually ask about that. Most know better than to point out somethin' so obvious. Ah well. [he brings a hand up to brush his bangs back, putting the blind eye in full view, showing the scar cutting straight through. He grins.]

I stabbed my eye, and then carved into my face. Nothing special.

[uptill]

A little?

[ Right now, Chobe is competing with Rokurou in Till's list for most stupid. Or annoying. No. That's Bakugo taking the lead in that category. There are no prizes to be had for coming in first, though, which is more unfortunate than participating in this raffle. ]

If it's just a chance, it's better to take it.

No one has asked?

[ That's hard to believe.

The fact that he is the first person to ask about this asshole's asshole face is a surprise. It's his most defining feature at first glance. Not the wild hair, not that fashion sense. His face is right there. The first thing to look at, and it's scarred all over. Are people blind? No, they have a better sense of self-preservation. ]

And you fucked up your depth perception because?

[brother_nature]

Gambling man! At least you're a bit of a risk taker. [He can appreciate that much, at least. He drops his hair back over his eye, giving a shrug.]

Because I needed to protect someone.

If you want more than that, you'll have to wait for another truth.

[uptill]

Gambling. Those games, right? Placing bets.

[ Did he ever take a risk once. Twice. Despite public outcry, it paid off. ]

So another truth, and I'll find out who that someone is? Keep going. Ask me truth or dare.

[brother_nature]

Yep. And if you ask the right questions, sure. But for now. . .

Truth or dare, brat.

[uptill]

[ Should he ask the right question? He will determine that when the time comes. ]

Truth.

[brother_nature]

Tell me what yer life was like before this, including whatever the hell--Segways are.

[He means segyein but he ain't ever heard of such a thing, cut him some slack.]

[uptill]

The what?

Do you mean the segyein?

I think you're cheating. You're supposed to ask something that only has one answer, not a whole life story. Besides, that would take forever. I didn't ask you to tell me all about your life. Where would I ever start? No one likes it when I say stuff about it anyway. I can tell by their expressions.

[brother_nature]

How's that cheating?? It just says truth! You're a picky bitch, ya know that? [But he's absolutely right, Chobe's just pouting.]

Fine, what are, what you said. "Segy-ein." Those, what are those? And frankly I don't like half the shit I hear on a daily basis, if you've got a sob story it ain't gonna get me all sad.

[uptill]

If I'm a picky bitch then you're an annoying bitch. [ Whatever bitch is. Just going to add that to his inventory of obviously bad words. ]

And it's not a sob story. It just is. [ He does not like it. He hates. He wants to kill them. It's reality for him. That's all. ] When I talked to Hiyori, he called them aliens. So maybe that's what they are to you too.

[brother_nature]

.............the fuck are aliens???

[Unfortunately!! He's got no true modern idea of that either. Gods? Sure. Monsters? Check. Aliens??? The hell does that even MEAN.]

Just tell me what you would say they are.

[uptill]

What do you mean the fuck are aliens?

What I would say they are would not explain anything.

[ Fucking stinking bastards won't help Chobe understand. But if he wants to remain confused, that's the answer Till can provide. He takes a moment to think. ]

Where are you from?

Wait, it doesn't matter. Let's say that you are in your world, right? Your planet. Then something comes from another planet. That's an alien.

[brother_nature]

Hah?

[He rolls that around in his head, trying to make sense of it. Judging by his expression, the wheels are turning but not necessarily getting anywhere.]

You ain't from my world so wouldn't that make you an alien??

[uptill]

I don't mean like this fucking place! If we go by your stupid definition, then everyone is an alien here. What I am talking about is a life form that traveled through space to get to your fucking planet! On a spaceship! You dumb bitch!

[ Maybe Chobe should not have taught him that word. ]

[brother_nature]

[He'd be proud if he wasn't so damn confused!!]

Oi, don't give me lip, asshole! The fuck is a spaceship? A ship in SPACE? That's stupid! Maybe you did get here on a damn space boat, what do I know!

[uptill]

You travel through space on a spaceship! A spacecraft! That's how you get from planet to planet. Unless it's a pet or a product, then they're content to stuff it in a cold box for delivery to fucking wherever. Got it, plant bitch? Maybe you have plants for brains.

Truth or dare!

[brother_nature]

Plant for brains?! I told you I have a human body, idiot! How about I bash your skull open and see if you have anything in there, huh??

[Wow!! Till is perhaps too fast a learner, those insults!]

TRUTH, shit face!

[uptill]

Whatever you find, you wouldn't be able to gloat! I'd be dead dumbass! Whatever you won't do it anyway. For some reason.

[ Truth it is then. ]

You don't want me to ask about who that someone is, right?

[brother_nature]

[A slight twitch of an eyebrow at that. Chobe has zero problems killing people. He's murdered so many over the years, decades, he's lost count. Some for good reason, others for petty slights. Going from a notorious bandit, to monster, to mob boss, it's as natural as breathing to him. He's even killed plenty at the resort, with Till as a witness to one unlucky bastard. But even so, Till's right. He's far pickier now, sees no point in chasing off those he might have a mild interest in, or use for down the line. But admitting that means admitting he's getting softer, and he can't have that kind of rumor floating around.]

Fuck you, I just don't feel like security getting on my ass about clean up again. And I ain't a cagey bitch like you, that shit ain't a secret. I was protecting my brother, so watch how you tread from here.

[uptill]

A brother. You mean to say someone who is biologically related to you.

[ Which is most often the case when people at the resort speak of siblings. ]

Hopefully, that brother doesn't have any of your bad traits. This place probably only needs one person with weeds in their head. That'd be a shame.

[ His tone lacks malice. It's clinical in its approach to gaining knowledge. ]

Forget it.

I do know one thing. You didn't kill me because you want something. You don't give a fuck about security, or whatever. What do you want?

[brother_nature]

My baby brother's the best there is, brat. If I'm trash, he's the definition of class, so watch yer mouth.

[A bit of bias due to those brotherly instincts, but in truth while his brother carries himself far more regally and with a sugar sweet polite smile on his face? He's as every bit cutthroat as Chobe. Chobe's role is to distract from that deceit though.

He cocks his head, narrowing his eye at Till. For the moment, he puts that aside, ignoring the rules of the game.]

That counts as another truth, but if you're so curious, it ain't that deep. You reminded me of him for a moment, that's all. There are a lot of fucking idiots here, but I ain't gonna waste my time murdering folks that have some potential.

[uptill]

And you're telling me to watch my mouth.

[ That poor baby brother. Wait! There is that word again! This guy has never used it correctly once. Not in the way Till understands it. He is going to leave the touchy subject of a biological sibling behind because that's not something he understands to full capacity, the lack of a sibling can do that since he is not part of a family set. ]

Hey, you, Chobe.

If you're not going to ask me truth or dare anymore, then I have a question for you. It's not about you. Do you recall what you said? About not having time to be babysitting. Now you're calling your sibling a baby brother. What does that word mean.
