That was what the job needed. And now I'm not on a job and you're just getting... me. Emerald Sustrai. Raw and uncut, I guess. If that even means anything. And that Emerald Sustrai doesn't have time to mess with you when she could be trying to figure out how to get back at bigger fish. With you.
Anyway. I think the point of it is to threaten the other person and say that you're going to put them in the ground if they hurt whoever. That's kind of what shovels mean. It shows tough love.
I know, I know. Evil plots and such. I'm just saying it's to have the version that hasn't been released to the public. We'll get there. I promise. It's good to have you on the team.
Huh? Really? I never would have guessed. I never really thought of a shovel as very tough or lovey dovey. I just thought they picked up dirt. Or snow. Or dog poop.
Hmmmmm...! Okay. I think I can work with that. ...Well you're hanging out with me, Varian and Yang now... What about Team REVY? Revy means Golden Heart so it works!
...Oh. Wow. I didn't think about that at all. And someone like literally tried to do that to me one time here. Yeeeeeeesh. You know what. I think I prefer my version way better.
[She wasn't really in a position where she wanted name Neo by name at the moment. So a vague hint would have to do.]
I've never heard "revy" before, but I don't know if I want you making any assumptions about my heart like that. Tell you what. Let's hold off on coming up with a new team name until things start stabilizing again. And I can actually make a decision about turning to your side when I'm thinking a little more clearly. And you can decide whether you want me.
As long as you're not going around telling anyone that you're gonna go talk about shovels. I mean, outside of this conversation. It's probably fine. And I'm not about to stop you from using the wrong one.
It's more for the gold than anyone's heart. Varian would probably have an issue with the whole heart thing if I brought it up to him.
Fine, fine. But I think if you keep going the way you're going right now. You just might end up barnacled to us one way or another. Might as well just give in.
Well as long as I can remember what it's actually about I should be good. Clover knows too so there are loose ends out there to clean up.
Yeah, well. Maybe I will. Who knows? It'd probably be better for everyone to have me actually on the deck of your ship instead of clinging to the side of it where you'll have to scrape me off. But I've got a ship of my own, too, and we need to see if it wrecks anything first.
Hopefully that made sense. I know more about weapons than I do about seafaring. Which reminds me. I'm gonna come over sometime next month. I think you've earned a look at Thief's Respite.
We'd be more than happy to have you along. Well I hope the S.S.Emerald manages to stay afloat until you make that decision.
Same here, the only ship term I can say with confidence that I actually know is what the poop deck is. And that's because it's not what it sounds like.
OOOOOOOOH! YES PLEASE. I WOULD LOVE THAT. WE COULD START WITH JUST A LITTLE TUNE UP TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN TIP TOP SHAPE~!
BUT BUT I NEED MY HANDS TO HELP TAKE IT APART SO I CAN LOOK AT IT FROM THE INSIDE!
I think between me and Varian we can come up with something to help out. I've mainly been asking for more ammo through the little basket and that helps.
Oh, that's an option? Huh. I kind of got the idea it was harder to do than that. Well, still. It'd be nice to have some long-range options that don't rely on me getting presents from Sodder. Maybe I will let you take a look inside. It's not like you don't know everything they can do already. Ugh, you're winning me over already.
I hear it can be kind of hit or miss. I haven't had too much trouble doing it. Having options is always good. I probably should have a couple more at my disposal to be honest. You could say I have some personal experience dealing with them.
Just going to keep worming my way into your heart until you give in :>
Good thing they make pills for heartworm. I'll let you know once things calm down on both our sides, okay? And don't tell anyone I told you this, but. Thanks. You helped. Even if it doesn't feel like you did.

Well.
You'll have to find a better team name if you're considering adding me to it.
I'll take E or M. Not picky.
They do pick up dirt, Ruby. Out of holes. That you put bodies into.
The shovel talk is, like, most of the time a threat. Probably.

Ruby.
Ruby.
What do you look at things with?
Your eyes, right? Not your hands.
But if you can find a better way to fire bullets that doesn't rely so much on Dust, then maybe I'll let it slide.

Sure. We could use a mediator on both sides.
Stay frosty until then?
Oh. Uh. You're welcome? Happy I could help???
It feels like I might have done a little.
no subject
But we'll see how it plays out.
Stay safe, Ruby.
