[Ryotarou appears on the Plane, dripping paint where he stands. He's almost completely covered in the stuff, mostly of pastel purples and blues, but seems to be trying to shake it off and wring out his shirt. He looks kind of embarrassed and confused at how it probably all happened, although not very surprised.]

... Cross the street? [small, bashful smile; still trying to wring some of the paint out of his clothes or something]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[smiles wider] Really? Did the paint fall on you?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Mm... yeah. I tripped in a pothole, and... [shrugs a little]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That's some luck you've got there.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Eh... you get used to it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Do you want, erm, a towel or something?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[pauses... blinks... then nods and stops wringing at his clothes so much] ... I would appreciate that.

[pops off the plane and returns with a large towel with Scooby Doo on it] Here you go!

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[smiles a little at the cartoon dog on the towel, but starts using it to get some of the paint off] Thank you.

[still rather amused] You're welcome. I didn't know that sort of thing was common for you.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Really? [considering Ryotarou's luck, he's kind of surprised someone can go a month and not learn about his luck] ... This wasn't so bad, actually.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What sort of things usually happen?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Well... There was the time I feel down a manhole, or when that one gang beat me up for my wallet after I already gave it to them...

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[frowns] A gang beat you up?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

It was a few weeks ago... I'm alright now.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[still frowning] You're sure?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[gives a little, reassuring smile] Yeah. It's over. I'm fine. I even got my wallet back.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[smiles] Good! Glad to hear it.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[nods] And Deneb is staying with me more often now, so... it shouldn't happen again.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Deneb wasn't with you before?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Not at the time, no. [Because there is no way Ryotarou is going to let Deneb know he's been going for walks just so he can pass by the Milk Dipper. He would never hear the end of it.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you have him now.
