[22:30] She was just trying to help! [22:30] Trying to help by tricking me onto one of those things? [22:31] * Shigeru sighs. "She didn't realize your hangup against hypnotism, and I forgot to tell her. Blame me if you want, okay?" [22:31] Yes, into one of those perfectly *safe* things everyone else takes every day. [22:31] I just don't like them. [22:33] It's ok. Really. I'll just get my bike and try to find you. I'd keep an eye on her though Shiggy. Even you say she is acting odd. [22:33] Yeah? Well, just not liking something isn't a reason to drive off into God knows where and probably get your bike stolen or trashed *again*. [22:34] You think I want to take my bike into someplace called "The Slums"? [22:34] * Shigeru nods and sighs. "Yeah, I know. I'm worried about her, Eoi. But she... as far as I can tell, she's the same person. Her mind feels the same, at least. And she *was* just trying to help." [22:34] No. So you can do the sensible thing and take the train instead. [22:34] She may have been trying to help, but that gave her no right to try to do anything to my mind. At LEAST she could have asked permission. [22:35] * Eoi shakes his head. "I don't want to get on one of those moving coffins." [22:35] I donno. If she had at least told me what she was doing, I might not be so pissed off.. but she also tried to trick me. [22:35] * Shigeru grumbles and moves in front of Eoi, walking backwards. "They're not moving coffins. If they were, I'd be dead by now." [22:35] Is there any *other* way you would have agreed to it? [22:36] Be honest, priest-in-training. [22:36] * Eoi shrugs. "Don't think so." [22:36] There you go, then. [22:36] * Shigeru sighs. [22:36] I just can't get on those things. They scare me to death. [22:36] I scare me to death, and I live with it. [22:37] * Shigeru sighs. "Look, Eoi. Just this once. We... hell, we need you. You know that. Who knows what Chelsea's walking into over there." [22:38] It's got something to do with her demon-ness. That's the hint I got from Xelloss before I tossed the phone to Chel. So, it's probably something bad.. [22:38] You think? And this is from Xelloss. He led us into nasty places before... [22:38] Like Dairoba. [22:38] * Eoi sighs. "I want to help. It's just those damn trains..." [22:39] * Shigeru puts his hands on Eoi's shoulders, stopping him. "Look. Going on the train won't kill you, I promise. It won't even hurt." [22:39] ( Solution: MC needs a 6-seat bicycle ) [22:39] (*cracks up*) [22:39] ( *snicker* ) [22:39] * Eoi sighs. "I.. I.. damn it." [22:40] It won't. And... hell, I'll make it up to you somehow. Take you out for pizza or something. Maybe if there's only two of us, we won't attract any minions from hell. [22:41] Well, not many of them. The pizza'll be good, at least. [22:41] I can't do it. Lord knows I want to help, but I just can't. [22:42] * Shigeru frowns and his gaze hardens. "Yes, you can." [22:42] You just don't want to. [22:42] Damn it! I can't. Even going near those things scares me to death. [22:43] So they scare you! So what? [22:43] You run away, is that it? Try to make up some excuse? [22:43] My best friend could go over there and she could *die* just because you were too scared to go on a damn train. [22:44] ... [22:45] I.. I donno. I.. I can t.. Damn it. [22:45] Yes you can. [22:45] * Shigeru sighs. [22:46] I don't want to take the easy way out, and I don't think you do, either. I *can* try to get rid of this fear for you, but... you wouldn't agree to it. And I don't blame you. [22:47] ... I'll try. [22:47] I can't promise anything. Alright? [22:47] All right. Don't hold it against me if I shove you in the right direction, though. [22:47] * Shigeru smiles. "And the pizza offer still stands." [22:48] A... alright. I'll try. [22:49] Good. C'mon. [22:49] * Shigeru grabs Eoi lightly by the arm and leads him back to the group. [22:50] ( Back in the channel :P )
