FLYING. BANANAS.

[onewomanarmy]

[what the flying fudge are flying bananas doing here]

[this mask wearing young lady is watching the sky in bewilderment, side-stepping the occasional fruit that falls too close]

[moving her attention to the sky, pulling back the sleeve on her outfit to reveal some wicked automail]

Ran Fan.

[cinquedusoleil]

[that looks pretty cool... Also!! I shall take a break from banana dodging for a moment to hold out a hand for you]

I'm Cinque! It's nice to meet you!

[onewomanarmy]

[staring at that hand :||||

breaking her stare to consecutively slice a few falling bananas by using a small sword attached to her automail]

[onewomanarmy]

[even the people in my dreams make no sense geez]

I don't have any interest in sharing an umbrella with you. I'm better off without.

[cinquedusoleil]

[Meanwhile, I have to dodge here and there while kind of standing still because this handshake is a little slow-moving huh...]

Um... It's a handshake! As a sign of our meeting! You know?

[onewomanarmy]

I know what it is.

[slice slice slice slice]

You better start moving again.

[vampgonevegan]

Yeah, I don't think an umbrella is what you need with that outfit. It wouldn't make much sense carrying one around when your head is already covered. Have you thought about wearing brighter colours and losing the mask?

[onewomanarmy]

Stop calling me that. Refer to me as Ran Fan or don't refer to me at all.

[onewomanarmy]

My outfit and mask having everything to do with my job, and nothing to do with matching an umbrella.

You have no idea what you're asking me to do.

[cinquedusoleil]

[o-oh]

Ahh, right!

[jumping aside then (WE'LL TOTALLY SHAKE LATER OKAY)!! well, she has her own way of training with the bananas and that is cool]

[sparire]

Hey now! That's being way too serious for this!

[vampgonevegan]

Oh, this is your work uniform? Are you working now? What sort of place do you work that requires a mask? It must be super exciting!

[onewomanarmy]

This is a dream, so you have a point.

But you're wrong if you think I won't take a dream such as this with utmost seriousness.

[onewomanarmy]

[(NO WE WILL NEVER SHAKE)]

[what if the bananas start falling in tenfold, and even this ninja gets smacked with a COMPLETELY unexpected one!?]

[onewomanarmy]

[attacking bananas with her automail arm!!!]

Figure it out yourself.

[cinquedusoleil]

[(BUT!!!)

Anyway, that means he's just getting started! It's actually kind of amazing how quickly he can move and even change direction. Even when it looks like he's about to lose his pace, he somehow gets by with no banana damage at all, and he laughs as the bananas try their hardest regardless!! But— oh I see one hit you.

He's still dodging the onslaught, be he calls out]

Are you all right!?

[vampgonevegan]

[LOOKING OVER INTENTLY.]

A theatre troupe? I got a part in a play once! The costumes were fangtastic! It was completely nerve-racking! Almost as nerve-racking as my sweet 1600, except I didn't have to plan what I was going to wear for the play, like, months in advance.

[sparire]

[heaviest sigh]

Is my subconscious trying to tell me something? Are you going to tell me to eat healthy food next...?

[onewomanarmy]

[scrutinizing her from the corner of her eye]

...


...not remotely close.

[onewomanarmy]

[now i'm just embarrassed that you're actually doing well and ughhhh SLICING THESE BANANAS]

That's a stupid question, I'm fine.

[onewomanarmy]

[stare]

You're the one in my dream.

[sparire]

No way! You're the one in my dream!

[onewomanarmy]

[the most intense stare of stares]

No, you're definitely the one in my dream. I'm not one to be fooled so easily by something my mind own created. Nice try though.

[sparire]

I think it's best to assume this is reality. Did you know? When you dream about other people, it's never strangers. You might not recognize them, but it's always someone you've met before in your life. Your brain always uses faces you've seen.

[onewomanarmy]

This? Reality? Chances are I've seen your face in a crowd.
