... I forget who I've mentioned it to as this point. Aside from completing Teach's list, I help out when Limbo sticks his nose in something and decides he wants to make someone playing the system pay.
Corrupt bank owners, unethical research laboratories, mafia thugs pestering kids, that kind of stuff.
Oh, so you're like a group of vigilantes, in a sense.
[ She wonders if Limbo is the justice maniac in there. Shu doesn't seem to... fit? In that sort of thing for some reason, but that's because Yuri thinks he just goes about things at his own pace. ]
Did she leave behind a list of things for you to do...?
Not a bad way of putting it. Scarecrow brought us all together initially, and it worked well. Pays well too.
[ he really is too chill for this but it helps him too. ]
... Oh. Yeah, in her own way. Her notebook. It had a list of all the hitmen she knew who killed for money and money only, and she was working her way down the list.
She always told me to never leave a chance for revenge. Her notebook was her way of... reconciling her work as a hitman with what she wanted now. Hatred exists everywhere. It can't be stopped. But what can be stopped is killing that lacks both love and hatred. That's what I was taught, and that's what she believed.
[ he knows The City is a hellscape. he's not gonna judge people living the way they have to. ]
I'm not sure. It was her thing, but-- when she died, it felt right to continue what she set out to do. [ ... ] Death and killing aren't regular topics back home. It's illegal and kind of a taboo topic for a lot of people.
That's kinda what I'm saying. You shouldn't have to, but if there's any moments you feel like adjusting is rough, we can work around it. You're changing up everything you've known, long term. It might not happen automatically, or overnight.
[ It makes reasonable amount of sense. There's no way that Yuri will just get used to it right away. Even on the ship, it's still taking time getting used to where people dying is a serious offense? Taboo, even? Damn. She doesn't have to see corpses of her coworkers on the daily? ]
... I know. I just want to do it as soon as possible, even though I'm still adjusting on this ship as it is.

Everyone else has a fixed address elsewhere, but a room at Scarecrow's place. Makes it easier when we're on a heist. [ he pauses. ]
But-- yeah. I normally just stay at a motel, or I did before Scarecrow started offering his spare rooms.

A heist? What do you take?

Yuri looks nervous for a moment. ]
I... I see.
[ Because she has the same mentality. She'd do anything for a promotion... ]
no subject
Not quite like that.

That's how you were taught, so that's now what you believe in, right?

[ Yuri is aware that the City seems to be... really bad compared to most of these. ]
Unless if there's a more special clause...?
no subject
[ and yet people do it anyway. ]
I think it's just the normal reasons. No one really has the right to kill someone else. Abuse of power. Life is a gift. The usual.
no subject
[ Life is a gift. Well.
She has time to get used to that sort of ideology. ]
That's fine, since I wouldn't want to—... never mind.
no subject
You wouldn't want to—?

Of course, I would not like to fight if I could...

You will.
[ he nudges her. ] I'm not promising you it'll be instant, but you want it. So you'll work for it.
no subject
[ They really have to talk about these things all the time when they're on a date, huh. She reaches out to hold onto Shu's hand. ]
Come take a picture with me.
[ She still has those glitter instax cameras, but they're just regular polaroid cameras now. ]
no subject
Hm?
[ he just takes her hand without really thinking and lets her pull him along. photos? ]
Oh, you have the instant photo thing? [ cute... glittery date photos ]
