[ Maika glances down a moment in surprise, but after a second she assents, tucking Schneider's arm secure against her side. ]
Hah. I've had enough of surprises out of either of their gods. But you know a night's too quiet when no one has anything better to do than gossip on their... phone-things.
[ Maika snickers too — that's a blunt way to put it, but she's never been one to care about refinement. Although she thinks they're probably pretty middle of the road, by her standards. ]
But... I don't hate a world where people can get so excited over something so pointless. It's a luxury.
[ Schneider smirks. She can't disagree but she also can't summon even the slightest sense of endearment either. It's all so removed from her after all]
Do you think you'll become the hero Braphine wants us to be then?
[ Oh, gross. Maika grimaces and shoots the bottle in Schneider's hand a glance. ]
If you keep saying shit like that, I'll change my mind about drinking. [ She might yet, before the night gets much older. ] I'm not doing fuck-all for that goddess. And I'm no hero. I'm just a killer who doesn't have anything to do in this place, unless that god of whatever wants to make another appearance.
[Ahahaha ] Then don't say such sappy shit. [ She lifts the bottle up a little more] What a pair we make then. Killers with nothing better to do with our time.
Makes you wonder why Braphine chose us. I've only ever been good at the one thing. [ Well, not that violence doesn't have its uses here. She can certainly guess. ] ...What did you want to be? If you could have chosen anything?
[ Although the thought of the party brings another smile to her lips briefly. But she shrugs and pushes herself up from the bench to take Schneider's hand. ]
[ Although Maika sounds more amused than sharp about it. Sometimes, one is just the world's angriest extrovert. She gives Schneider a bow only slightly ironic in its awkwardness and follows her obligingly in the sway, athletic-graceful despite the unfamiliarity of dancing again. ]
...I didn't think I could miss my own world. This place made me realize otherwise.
[ Maika spins, her expression brightening a little despite herself. With our without those memories, there's still no denying that she loves to dance. ]
...What, you mean you think every world out there only makes fucked-up people?

[Specifically theirs. Maika's on the other hand...]

Who all the men are kissing? Couldn't think of anything that interests me less. But...
[ Hmm, how to put it. She falls silent and thoughtful for a moment, just watching the stars as they walk. ]

I don't care for how horny any of them are honestly. But...?

[ She lived in a small world in Sicily. ]
no subject
[ Also not really dreamy, but. Maika shakes her head to brush that aside. ]
We have nothing but time now, though.
no subject
If you had something you wanted to do, what would it be?
no subject
...I don't know. People who knew me as a child tell me I loved to dance. I want to remember that. But it's not a direction.
[ An objective, a purpose. She's someone who doesn't know how to steer without that. ]
no subject
Then shall we dance? Maybe that will give you some kind of memory or feeling.

[Schneider steps back, tipping into a little curtsy. There is music playing from a nearby bar and that is enough to sway to]

[ Schneider laughs and begins to move to the beat, her steps natural and at ease]
Even the shithole places.
no subject
[ The one you belong in. Maika's grin turns wry, just a little focused as she follows the rhythm that Schneider picks out. ]
...There were beautiful places there, too. Maybe not many, anymore. But they hung on. And they'll rebuild.

The only people who were ever real family to her need her now. ]
...To me, anyway. What about you? I know your home is gone. And this place...
[ Kind of sucks, actually. ]
no subject
[well, she was young enough not to know any better]
Fuck. I won't stay here though. Maybe...
[ She'll turn back to dust? Give up on everything...?]
no subject
[ She doubts the sappy words will leave Schneider's mouth, so she'll say it. Whatever. She's bared worse vulnerabilities before.
Maika glances out at the night, giving a quiet huff as she tugs Schneider along. Dancing, still moving. She hates being still. ]
You've already come this far. There's got to be something better than this.
no subject
Better than this? [ A strange smile curves at Schneider's lips] I wonder, sometimes. With the way the other "chosen" behave...ahaha.
