Yes. [ A sigh. ] Whoever did it thought they were being funny, Naruto. They thought it was a silly prank. And pranksters love witnessing their prank in action. The whole point of the prank is to get a reaction out of whoever they're pranking, so they're going to stick around and watch you react.
[ He straps his watch back onto his wrist. ] We can look back at the post, right? When they put the paper up on the network?
No, you're not. Because you're not dealing with a prankster, here. You're dealing with a bully.
[ He shoves his hands into his pants pockets. ] See. I grew up in an orphanage until about ten years old when I ran off and became thief extraordinaire. In that orphanage, I saw this case a lot -- kids bullying other kids. [ He shakes his head. ] It's stupid, but there you have it.
[He's pulling a face. Hearing that Eugene was in an orphanage though sort of gives him mixed feelings. Which might explain the sudden dampener to his mood.
Not that it was terribly upbeat in the first place.
He's never dealt with this kind of thing before though. Being shunned by everyone sucked big time, and he was a prankster at heart but this--]
Can't say I know how you feel, but I can sympathize. [ He shrugs. ] I probably sound like one of the old caretakers, but sometimes the best way to deal with bullies is by ignoring them. They want to make you feel bad, so just...don't feel bad.
[ He looks back at the basket and reaches out and moves some of the items around the get a look at the other items. ] Some of this stuff is actually useful for nonsexual things. The lube is great for unjamming drawers and fixing rusty hinges. I used to carry a small bottle of this kind of oil with me when I was thieving so that I never woke up anyone in a house when I pried open the windows and doors.
[ He pulls out the bottle and gives it a little toss in the air, then catches it back in his hand. ] If you ever get locked in somewhere, you can also use it to loosen locks.
All of this is pretty useful. [ And he starts taking the basket apart. ] These oils can do that, too. And these... [ He pulls out the condoms, arching a brow. Then he takes the packets apart and pulls out a strange slick sleeve for...oh. ] ...it looks like the same material as one of those floating balls on a string in the city.
[ Eugene holds up the condom to size it up. ] Hmm... looks like it can take a couple cups of water? [ And he pulls at the material. ] Not going to snap anytime soon.
