[ Claude does walk into him while turning a corner!

And he just wipes, falling hard on his ass. There's dirt everywhere. On his face and clothes. Now probably on Aikawa too. ]

[decaptych]

Wah!

[ Snapping out of it due to pure surprise, stumbling a bit. And looking at who tf he just ran into.

Claude why do you look like that. Well, first things first -- ]

Oh shit, sorry!... Dude, did you go take a roll down a hill, or?

[ Reaching out a hand. ]

[shaft]

[ he just stays on the ground ]

What? No.

[decaptych]

[ Waves his hand like he's waving a treat in front of a dog. ]

Then why're you all covered in shit?

[shaft]

[ frowns ]

It's not shit. It's dirt.

[decaptych]

[ Spoon the icon. ]

You know what I mean, generically speaking.

You fine being there on the ground or are you gonna let me help you up?

[shaft]

[ yah

he will take aikawa's hand ]

[decaptych]

[ Pulls him up, up you go Claude. ]

Are you gonna tell me why you're all covered in dirt? Or is this the hot new secret?

[shaft]

Is that a thing? [ leans against aikawa subtly ] I had to crawl out of a grave when I woke up this morning.

[decaptych]

[ He actually almost drops Claude when he says that but it's okay, he will not drop you buddy. ]

Y-you what? Why?

[shaft]

Beats me.

[ please don't drop him he's so tired ]

Someone knocked me out and stuffed me in there.

[decaptych]

[ HIS CLAUDE ]

Someone tried to kill you?!

[shaft]

If they wanted to kill me, it would've been easy enough after knocking me out. I honestly don't know what the end goal was.

Maybe to frame me.

[decaptych]

Well, if you've got a big ol' bruise on your noggin or something, then I guess it's about as shit of a framejob as they come.

Need some ice? You're not concussed, are you? Crawling out of a grave's gotta feel nasty...

[shaft]

[ looks ]

Do you have ice?

[decaptych]

Not on me, but we can go get some. There's a whole hallway with ice machines.

[shaft]

Lead the way.

[ he wants a piggy back ride ]

[decaptych]

[ Ask him or be obnoxious enough and he will actually give you one. ]

Right this way, dirty boy.

[ Instead you get that. So we are going to hang out in the ice hallway where he will Dispense and hand it to Claude in a towel. ]

Where'd you get buried, anyway?

[shaft]

[ dirty boy...

he presses the ice to his head ]

In the cemetery. Where you'd normally find people buried.

[decaptych]

I guess at least it was theme-appropriate.

You feeling better now?

[shaft]

Somewhat. I'm still tasting dirt.

Are you alright? You seemed zoned out.

[decaptych]

Ew, yeah. Wait, did you seriously like, just crawl out?! You're a lot calmer than I'd think for that!

[ He waves off the other thing. ]

Uh, yeah. Just was thinking... about stuff.

[shaft]

[ sets his lasers ]

Like what?

[decaptych]

[ shook ]

Uhh... I got locked in my suite room overnight.

Apparently if you're just kinda, wherever, you get herded back.

[shaft]

Ah.

... You hate being in there, right?
