(forward dated, from the boats in route to rescue) see he can be serious

[nullificates]

This is Osamu Dazai.

I'm going with the rescue team for our friends and family. I'm a specialist in war and battle strategies, so please say so now if you are willing to take my guidance in this trying time. If you change your mind during the conflict, move your charm to be worn as a necklace. I will instruct those who will listen to help regardless, but it is easier if we are together. I will not be in the front line myself, I'll be working from elsewhere, moving around as Nikolai will provide me with assistance. If anyone's abilities come into disarray, I will also be able to be there to touch and nullify them while he takes the wheel for the time being.

I'll also be able to provide medical assistance and Nikolai can transport any injured.

Be mindful of your abilities, take care of each other, and let's get our people back.

Well I can't just sit and do nothing while you're out potentially risking your lives.

[nullificates]

Woah... I am so moved... I think he likes us.

[ticket218]

Yes, I happen to care. And?

[nullificates]

FEELS NICE!!!!

[ticket218]

Well! Good! I'm glad!

[nullificates]

Good!! Then great!!! It's wonderful!!! Very supporting!!!!

[quizpersona]

WOW! You managed to make him sound supportive and mad about it.

[ Muffled clapping. Not so muffled in person though. ]

[nullificates]

I should be an actor!!!

Private

[quizpersona]

Oh my, that's noble considering how dangerous it could be.

[ For someone classifiably "non-combatant" too. ]

In that case I have something to hand off to you when we cross paths.

Private

[ticket218]

I'm not sure noble is the right word.

[ "Stupid" again, maybe, but at least he's planning on staying away from the front lines. ]

Do I get to know what it is beforehand?

Audio -> Text (Still private)

[quizpersona]

Not at all!

[ At some point Sigma will be in range to experience a hand popping through a portal to drop off this... with no instructions besides-- ]

Twist and pull.

(Still still private)

[ticket218]

[ Oh, hello portal hand, what's this? Gogol's cane? What would twisting and pulling possibly accomplish he--

Oh.

Well that's handy. ]

I'll be sure to keep it with me.

Action

[quizpersona]

[ Portal hand rolls at the wrist into an exaggerated thumbs up gesture. Should Sigma have his guard down it's also going to take the opportunity to pat-pat-pat the top of his head before it plans to disappear. That's a good casino executive. ]

[ticket218]

[ And if that hand sticks around long enough it'll get fingers curled under it to hold in place for a gentle but curt kiss to the knuckles.

Be safe, idiot. ]

[quizpersona]

[ The hand hangs limply at the wrist in the air for a moment to weigh the options. Yet it's not long after the pause that lively movement returns to the appendage when it brushes a soothing touch along Sigma's jaw.

The hand makes a hasty escape back through the portal. ]
