[glaciers]

[He's gathering up his things, but-]

Where?

[feistytrader]

The arcade. I'm gonna kick your ass at DDR.

[Screw all this mopey existential stuff. We're gonna go have fun.]

[glaciers]

[He'll sling his bag over his shoulder.

The distraction's nice.]

Better back that up.

[feistytrader]

I'll even give you a handicap. Nothing out of me for the first ten seconds.

[glaciers]

I'll make you regret that.

[The emptiest threat in the world. He might enjoy and play video games, but he's somehow terrible at all of them.]

[feistytrader]

[He grins a little in Shouto's direction, starts moving, and... Stops for a moment, because it looks like they're both full of inconvenient memory pauses today. It takes a moment for him to snap back to reality and get his bearings, but he's quick to get moving when he does. Where were they- arcade. The arcade.]

Yeah. Come on.

[glaciers]

[Shouto stops when Silver does and looks at him oddly.]

... Remember something?

[feistytrader]

...We fight with the animals.

[Which he already kind of knew... Kind of, but-]

For fun. And we keep them in weird balls, just like the professor with the dragon. I guess I'm good at beating people up with my animal friends, and- one of them is on fire. Not just fire punching, but a full fire mohawk and fire tail.

[glaciers]

It's just... on fire? Wouldn't it burn or something?

[But alternate Shouto is probably from a world where superpowers exist, so why is he questioning on fire animal's in alternate Silver's.]

[feistytrader]

It's much easier if you don't try to make it make sense. Trust me.

[Why in the world were they in some wrecked city?]

[glaciers]

Probably.

Doesn't stop the curiosity though.

[feistytrader]

If I figure out anything about the science behind magical fire badgers, you'll be the first to know about it.

[glaciers]

Thanks.

It's a question I never knew I needed the answer to.

[feistytrader]

Anytime. Just let me know how the hell your cool powers work when you figure them out. ...Or figure out what they are.

[They've got plenty of time to chat; they'll have to catch a bus to get to the arcade in any tinely fashion.]

[glaciers]

[He nods.]

You'll be one of the first to know... When I know what they are.

[If he figures that out.]

[feistytrader]

...What are you going to do if you get them back?

[He knows he's joked- and assumed, really- that Shouto's going to run off and be a hero, but it's probably better to ask, too.

[glaciers]

... Learn how to use them?

[feistytrader]

No kidding. I mean after that part.

[glaciers]

... Become a policeman? Vigilatism is illegal.

[feistytrader]

What, you're gonna let the law stop you?

[He was mostly wondering if he'd really go for the heroism at all, but. There it is. No hesitation.]

[glaciers]

Mom would be worried if I was caught.

[feistytrader]

So don't get caught.

[...Great plan, Silver.]

[glaciers]

Because superpowers can slide under the radar.

[Are you serious right now, Silver?]

[feistytrader]

Arachno-man pulled it off.

[...He's totally serious.]

[glaciers]

He does everything a spider can do. Ice is harder to hide.
