There was nothing to beat. It was merely... to experience the things.
[ How should she explain this. ]
It was a pink city called Barbie Land. "While there were people living in it, they noted that many times they'd break into song. They're mostly high-energy, uplifting, but sometimes a line about existential dread and death would crop up. Sometimes, the denizens would turn into plastic dolls and hunted them in attempts to convert them to their ideology. They mentioned the dolls clumping together to become a giant plastic horror that attacked them." It bled like tar, supposedly...
Anyway, that said as she begins to explain, Blade's expression takes on the one that indicates he can't believe about what he is hearing, and wondering if, finally, his condition has finally begun to take over his senses. Yes, this is the true beginning of his descent into madness...
...But, no, he is too sane at the moment, he realizes this, for him to even wonder as such. ]
That...
Succumbing to such a thing must be truly a fate worse than death.
...Better it be a surprise one can actively face in combat, than anything within the mind, however.
[ The excitement and thrill of danger, standing on the edge of a needle, and all that. He is used to seeing associates of his own face the same, though as he stays here longer and longer, the answer to 'acceptable surprises' seems to change at the drop of a hat. ]
[ This is actually the first time they've discussed it! ]
Though, I am aware that they do enjoy fighting. I don't doubt there are differences between us...and since I assume you speak to them often, you'd be able to spot them well enough.
[ Blade just doesn't understand why she would be so happy about it. ]
Hmph. Yes, I suppose it would be...even if it's unpleasant.
[ He is very self-aware of how he is. He can't help it.
Though, strangely enough, he isn't entirely bothered by it. No, in fact...still, he thinks he's going to make a fool of himself at some point if he doesn't get moving. ]

[ Still, the amount of occurences enough for him to think about it. Is this too because of that company? Hrm.
Anyway, this is so funny that Blade will ask this question very seriously because he has no idea what Barbie is. ]
A world of Barbie? What did that entail?

[ Blade's internal, combat-oriented mind:
"Where is the enemy-"

... Being brainwashed by plastic dolls doesn't seem like a good way to go, no.

The oddity of the universe still remains vast. However...even then it still manages to invoke some semblance of surprise.
no subject
[ Like Blade's book evidence. (future) ]
no subject
Hmph.
...There are surprises out there best left unfound.

[ Yuri smiles. Sure not all of them are great, but you know. ]
no subject
Yes, I suppose so.

[ Yuri thinks they're extremely similar... wind fighters smh ]
no subject
What makes you ask?
[ But at that, Blade's going to merely shake his head. ]
...But, no. I have only fought with Adrastea.
no subject
[ for some reason i feel like they had this conversation before??? am i going delulu ]
They would also like to fight.

There... are many differences. For one, you laugh much more than Europa does.
[ :) ]
no subject
[ Is she counting the times where he laughed and it is clear that he's quite frankly out of his mind?! ]
...Most of the time I laughed, it was not for good cause.
[ Somehow, Blade feels embarrassed when she points it out like that, though. ]
no subject
It's one difference between the two of you either way.
[ She's not lying, but also-- she levels up in sass. ]

...I should leave you to rest.
[ With that, he makes a little retreat. ]
