That explains why you did so well after the apocalypse.

[Oh no, now he misses Shell. It catches him off-guard, so there's a brief flicker of something a little sad in his expression before he catches himself. This is a lighthearted conversation, he can't be doing with those emotions right now.]

That and my robust immune system.

[meowforbackup]

[ He catches that flicker of emotion. Of course he does. How could he not? ]

You did have the benefits of green water from hell to aid you. None of those luxuries now.

[idkmybffpyramid]

[How about you stop being so observant for 10 minutes.]

Managed without before I bunkered down in Horton. [Shrug.] I'm sure I'll manage again.

[meowforbackup]

Let's hope so. [ But he's worried. He can handle himself well enough but he's no John, who would probably be able to survive in the middle of a nuclear blast with nothing but a tan to show for it. ]

Let's get going on that. Quickly.

[idkmybffpyramid]

[Ah, back to business. Reno wastes no time making his way out of the theatre and turns towards the High School.]

High School's a good first stop. Assuming everyone didn't die of dehydration, there'll be some bottled water around.

[meowforbackup]

Let's hope you're right. I'd prefer to set up a filtering system as well, just in case. [ Business indeed. Tense, stiff-voiced business. ]

[idkmybffpyramid]

We'll check the labs. [He mirrors Ocelot's tone. Looks like it's time to be Serious.] Difficult to imagine much of the equipment up there ever got used.

[meowforbackup]

[ He's not too fond of dying. Especially not by something as pathetic as a lack of food and clean water. ] Doesn't mean it'll be in good working order... but we can improvise. It's better than nothing.

[idkmybffpyramid]

It's a starting place. [He glances at Ocelot with a slight smirk because he can't help it, he has a problem.] Try not being so pessimistic right off the bat.

[meowforbackup]

You think this is pessimism? I'm being realistic, Reno. [ And maybe scared in a way he can't really admit to even at 20. ]

slams down a reply over a month later

[idkmybffpyramid]

[He gives Ocelot a curious glance - it's not the response he'd been expecting, but it's hardly out of place to the situation either. But productivity is relaxing to Reno, or at least it was in Discedo, so he'd like to hold on to the little bit of positivity he's not going to have the luxury of throwing around later.]

Long as you don't start getting defeatist about things. [shrug] You're on your own if you start with that shit.

my favorite kind of reply

[meowforbackup]

Please. You think I would've survived this long if defeat was part of my vocabulary?

[ He's Major-fucking-Ocelot. Of course they're going to get through this. He just wishes it was more in his field of expertise. ]

[idkmybffpyramid]

[The shift in his tone is quite dramatic; going instantly from playful to flatly matter-of-fact. It certainly hadn't been a part of his before Discedo, but things change.]

Tend to learn a lot of new things here.

[meowforbackup]

Learned a lot of new things back home, too. [ Some of them even overlap with the Discedo lessons... except for one. ] Never had to wake up after being blown to pieces, though. That was new.

[idkmybffpyramid]

Yeah. [He sighs absently as they come up on the school, looking at it with a very controlled expression that may imply he's not actually that keen on going inside.] Not sure I ever really needed to know what holding my guts in was like.

[meowforbackup]

[ Noticing that. Also electing to not comment on it, only because he has something more grim on his mind. ] Do you think...

If we're the only ones here. If the scientists aren't around anymore...

[idkmybffpyramid]

I've thought about it. Not so hot on trying it out though.

[meowforbackup]

Too bad there's no one else here. I could use a guinea pig right about now. [ Is he joking? Probably not. ]

[idkmybffpyramid]

[He huffs a small laugh.] Probably wouldn't even have to get your hands dirty. Could barely go a day here without someone throwing themself to the wolves.

[meowforbackup]

Some people really had no self preservation, did they? Getting crushed or eaten left and right... [ At least they died in combat (sort of) and not by, I don't know. Being eaten by a chocobo. ]

[idkmybffpyramid]

Almost makes a guy nostalgic for the mayhem. [He sighs, almost wistfully.] No wolves, no assholes looking for a fight. Seems like the biggest thing I've got to worry right now about is you.

[He says it lightly - nonchalant, even. Lets it roll off his tongue with a smirk like it's just a joke. But it's not; he's as serious as mako poisoning. It's a reminder, for himself as much as Ocelot. They're not friends, and if there's one thing Reno is certain of at this moment, it's that Ocelot is as much of a threat as he is an asset.]

[meowforbackup]

Isn't that enough? [ He likes straddling that line of threat and asset. It's where he's the most comfortable and even though he never really saw Reno as a threat (he would've respected him more if that were the case) he's very keen on establishing that he absolutely is. ]

[idkmybffpyramid]

Dunno. [He shrugs as he pushes open the door to the building, but a cursory glance up and down the hall is all the caution he exercises this time around.] Think I'm kinda burned out on it by now.

[meowforbackup]

Good thing I don't have a reason to threaten you, then. Yet. [ From the look of things, it'll stay that way for a while. Now, if they'd find someone else or even a way out... that would change matters. ]
