[fiddlestick]

Huh?

Oh...I don't think so? I'm just using magic to help boost the output a little.

[concasse]

Oooh.

... So you''re a wizard.

[fiddlestick]

Um...yeah?

[concasse]

But can you make shit levitate?

[Listen, these are the important questions. Sanji must know Elliot's resume.]

[fiddlestick]

Haha...no. I'm afraid I'm not as cool as a flying pirate.

[concasse]

[--uh.

What no take it back]

Oi, come on, wizards are universally cool. Pretty sure that shit's the law.

[A-anyway he should keep flying, yeah, gonna do that, leaving the rather large splatter of paint behind them, like it's just hovering mid-air.]

[fiddlestick]

[Yeah keep flying! Elliot will occasionally throw out more paint splatters as they move]

Not as cool as pirates!

And I'm a band geek, remember? That automatically cancels out any coolness.

[concasse]

Except you can play pretty much any instrument you wanna!!

[Huffing like he's explaining basic math to someone] You can't tell me that doesn't net you some points back. Most shitheads can't even play a kazoo.

[fiddlestick]

Sure, but my favorite's classical stuff! In coolness ranking, the only thing lower is the accordion.

It's okay you're cooler than me Sanji! I don't mind, and I think you're cool!

[TAKE THE COMPLIMENT YOU COOL FLYING PIRATE!!!!]

[concasse]

[UM NO HE IS NOT TAKING COMPLIMENTS, WHAT KIND OF MAN DO YOU TAKE HIM FOR--

And at first it might seem like Sanji's so prepared to die on this hill that that's why he comes to a sudden halt in the air, switching from jumping forward to hovering in place, except his expression is slack with shock (not that Elliot can really see, but--)]

... Oi.

My musician was a skeleton.





[... que? ( ಠ_ಠ)]

[fiddlestick]

What?

[concasse]

-- A skeleton!

[Holy shit, his head swivels to the side, still not able to really see Elliot but voice lit with excitement nonetheless.]

Like... eight feet tall? Maybe nine? But he was playing a piano and told me he could play an instrument you gave 'im!

[fiddlestick]

A-An eight foot tall skeleton that could play any instrument? Wow, that's...

[Crazy? Insane? Cool???]

...H-How could he play a wind instrument without lungs though?

[#PRIORITIES]

[concasse]

Shit if I know. Nothing in that world made sense.

[Quite literally the truest statement Sanji's ever uttered]

I mean, my doctor was a reindeer that could talk.

And my captain was a man who was made of rubber.

[fiddlestick]

[ No truer words have ever been spoken yep ]

W-Whoa. That sounds pretty out there....then again we are in a city we have to repaint. And I knew a talking cat in my other life.

[...]

Our lives are weird, aren't they?

[He says, clinging to the back of a man that's flying]

[concasse]

Heh. They're somethin', alright.

[And said flying man gets back to flying after shaking his head, voice tinged with an old fondness.]

But yeah, no weirder than repainting a city because Retrospec cocked it up.

[That's probably not exactly what happened but Sanji is not here to give those guys the benefit of the doubt, either.]

This always used to happen? I've only been in the city three years... been on the app for a couple of months.

[fiddlestick]

I'm not sure. [he gives a shrug]

I've only been in the city since last September. People talk about weird things happening since the start of the app ... but I haven't heard of anything before then.

[concasse]

That right?

[Huh... Sanji doesn't know why, but he assumed Elliot had been here longer.]

Where'd you live before here?

[fiddlestick]

Mmhmm!

I'm from Queens, New York.

[He makes a point to go a bit heavy on his new yorker accent so make it more noticeable]

[concasse]

[Sanji hears it! A little. Honestly to the Frenchman that's just another flavor of American, he is not good at picking up accents--

But in his amusement he copies Elliot, french accent suddenly that more obvious.]

Did I mention where I was from yet?

[fiddlestick]

[he laughs a little, lightening up on the accent again. It's pretty mild most of the time, especially for someone not from the states.]

Hahah, no but...France right?

[concasse]

That's right, moved stateside three years ago.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, wow. Long trip.

What brought you to the states?

[concasse]

Scholarship to Recollé U. Figured I needed a chance of scenery, anyway.

[While they chat, Sanji's fast approaching another pillar of buildings... and the only reason he knows this is because the bottom half of said buildings have already been painting. Looks like whoever made this their project got as high as they were able before they gave up.]

[fiddlestick]

[he glances to see that painted bottom half. With a little focus, he'll throw out another water paint spell to get the buildings more painted]

Oh wow, I didn't you had a scholarship! [SANJI IS SMART WOW] What's your major?
