[This has been an interesting experience honestly, these killer robots. It's like being in one of those movies or novels William's been reading. And it's nice to be able to say that his hunch was right. Or would be if he hadn't had to deal with the weirdness that was watching Kevin and his body double engage in mortal combat.

Though when Hiro called, William's first thought was "you sound like a scam artist." And then he mentioned the second part.]

No I didn't. It seemed risky, sad as it is to deprive this place of a double of me.

[Yeah that ego being in tact should say everything.]

I am doing fine. Though Kevin activated his without thinking and has been engaged in combat with it.

[theshiningone]

I think we'd manage just fine with one William. I didn't want the world to have another one of me either since I'm already awesome enough.

[This sounds like an ego convention starting up here. Also he's still slightly traumatized from the dildo incident that CERES given him from long ago... Though hearing that Kevin was in combat with his own makes his lips curl into a mischievous smile.]

Really? Are we allowed to take bets? My money is on that one Kevin that didn't dunk me into a tornado.

[He didn't hate Kevin exactly, but he was still kind of annoyed over the fact he was being a giant tool from long ago. Granted, Hiro still begrudgingly owed that guy his life... despite the fact he peed into his broccoli.]

[notsolomon]

[Even one Hiro was a bit difficult to deal with at times. Two would be very terrifying.]

It's my Kevin who is going to win, end of story. He will not lose to a fake.

[...wait a minute though.]

Dunked into a tornado? He never mentioned that.

[theshiningone]

Oh, yeah. Can't remember if I explained this before, but there was that adventure in the jungle where Kazuyan and I got jumped by a monster and Kevvy came to our rescue. Though I think he indirectly aimed that shit at me and the monster and later, I got tidal waved for a bath!

[There were a ton of things from the jungle that he'd rather forget, but it felt good to vent that out. Then Hiro's voice drops to something more mischievously dickish.]

Best part of that was kicking Kaz like a soccer ball. What a complete utter tool. [At least he knows that demons are durable.]

[notsolomon]

...he really did downplay that encounter. Badly. Though that explains why he was so shifty...

[Kevin, seriously. You can't treat every non-William person like Dantalion. They are not as durable.]

...you two really dislike each other, huh.

[But that wasn't important right now.]

What about you? Have you been attacked at all? Or did someone you know press the button?

[theshiningone]

Shifty? Son of a-- Y'know for an angel, he's a pretty underhanded fellow! And here I thought demons were bad!

[Granted, Hiro didn't have much experiences with angels to hold a personal grudge... But he's seen them and demons as one in the same. After all, his experiences with Fusion in the COMP had told him such.]

Oh, him? Aaah... I like to think we've improved a little. Takin' it baby steps, though.

[Though he wouldn't had minded him taking big steps on Kazuya's face if he had to.]

Ah, actually... Yeah. One of my friends was using the robot and I came to place to find it trying to kill her. I teamed up with someone to trash it, but... [More like Hiro killed it in a cheerful homicidal rage, but that was neither here nor there. And he was still worried about Otome, but Steven was taking care of her. He knew that she was in good hands.] Anyway, I wasn't expecting to have Yandere bots on our plate for today. Everything's going to hell right now.

[notsolomon]

[Well as long as they were getting along better, that was good enough. And not worth butting into further. Besides, William was used to having the people around him hate each other with murderous rage, so Hiro and Kaz's pettiness was rather tame in comparison.]

I am glad that she was safe at least. Bad enough to deal with a malicious robot, worse when it has your face.

[It's a good thing that Kevin's robot was focused on Kevin, because William wouldn't have been able to stand against it. Not with that much power.]

I was told Yanderes were terrifying, but seeing them in action is a different matter. [Hooray he knows a term!] I think after things settle down, we need to find a way to dispose of the ones that were not activated. Least someone makes the mistake of activating them.

[theshiningone]

I went ahead and burnt the robot I got a hold of into a crispy-crispy cinder! We could throw a barbecue or should say a robo-becue?

[Get it? GET IT? Ah, he cracked himself up sometimes. He even snickers to himself before speaking up again...]

Also who taught you the word 'yandere'? For someone out of the times, you shouldn't be learning that word yet.

[notsolomon]

...that was very painful.

[The worst of puns. That he almost let himself laugh at. Almost. But fortunately his willpower was stronger. It wouldn't do to encourage bad punning.]

Kazuya mentioned it a while back. About them being a very dangerous breed of stalker. I only vaguely remember how we got onto the conversation though, since it was midnight.

[theshiningone]

Punful, Willie. The word was punful.

[Never let it be said that Hiro doesn't aim for a double strike when he sees an advantage. Though whenever he mentioned that, Hiro lets out a sarcastic snort.]

Anyway... That's just like him to be obnoxious without considering other people's feelings. I'm sure he explained what yanderes were in a very autistic way, so you wouldn't understand it. But I do want to hear in your own words on what yanderes are... Ya know, just in cause I gotta fill in any blanks.

[notsolomon]

[Omg what did he do to you that this horrible word play must continue?]

Eh, he was hardly imposing. [Which isn't a thing to discuss any further because he just needed that weirdness out of mind.]

Apparently they are someone who when turned down will lose their mind and either stalk you, murder you or lock you in a basement? It seems strangely specific when something like creeper would suffice.

[theshiningone]

[As long as he wasn't being overly annoying to William, then Hiro wouldn't feel inclined to smash his face in.]

Ah, yeah... That's actually accurate enough. We've got other terms that we use in good ol' Japan like... [Hm.] Are you familiar with 'tsunderes'?

[notsolomon]

[No one needs to smash anyone's face in on his account. He gets enough of that back home.]

No, I am not familiar with that term. Though they both share 'dere' in it. I assume that there is a similar meaning?

[theshiningone]

Basically, yeah! This will be important for your survival in daily conversations as you need to be more genre savvy with this stuff. Thankfully, I'm an expert when it comes to social survival.

[He sounds composed and confident as he was more than happy to shoot out what that word meant. There were plenty of other 'dere' types to mention, but this was one of, if not, the most famous one.]

Now tsunderes... They aren't as dangerous as yanderes, but things can get painful if you rub them the wrong way. They can come off as abrasive and cold at times, but whenever you say the right words and the time is right... They'll become sweet and affectionate putty in your hands. It's like cutting through a onion to find it's gooey sweet center!

[notsolomon]

[This is necessary to survial? Really? But at the same time, it is interesting. In a bizarre way.]

So in other words, it is someone who is capricious? Sounds like they are indeed painful.

And hardly worth the trouble.

...you must have a real problem with them where you are from to need a word for it.

[theshiningone]

Tell me about it! I've had to team up with a few of 'em back home! Like... I'd rather face one hundred demons with only dental floss and a corkscrew than face one of my tsundere hotties when they're pissed off.

[He really missed picking on Airi. She was like a little sister to him... with a hot looking midriff.]

But they are fun to tease. Trust me... It's totally worth to get one flustered. [It's clear that Hiro loves to play with fire.]

[notsolomon]

...so is it some kind of fetish?

[Because he can't see why you would use the word "hottie" otherwise.]

But you seem like the type to enjoy that sort of thing.

[A dangerous type.]

[theshiningone]

JEEZ! S-Stupid William... It's not like I enjoy messing with tsunderes or anything.

[Rather haughtily, he starts hair twirling a lock of hair. Clearly acting like a tsundere.]

I don't understand it at all. It's just so dumb.

[notsolomon]

Why the hell are you calling me st-[Oh, wait.]

So that is a tsundere imitation then? Fascinating. I guess there are some cultural differences that take a bit to understand.

[Weird. This is so weird. Though he had heard some of his peers speak of the chase. Which he hadn't ever understood either.]

[theshiningone]

Good job, William!

[He's not patting him on the head, but the tone of his voice says differently.]

If you were able to catch on, then you're not entirely stupid! Congrats! ♪ [Such a know-it-all.]

[notsolomon]

Oh please. AS if I could ever by confused by such a thing.

[Don't even try to patronize this over achieving nutjob, Hiro.]

Besides, I doubt I shall ever have any use for such a term. It seems more like interesting trivia.
