[ Gladio flashes a thumbs up. With the cup in his hand, so he's going to spill some of what's inside. Go him. ]

If it ain't Death himself. Reaper, you wanna join in?

[hellshot]

You'll find having a face like mine makes drinking difficult.

[stares at him a moment, then...]

You got some on your shirt. [Helpful]

1/3

[leatherdaddy]

[ Good point. ]

Well, hang on -- I got a straw around here somewhere...

[leatherdaddy]

[ On his shirt? Where...

Oh. Well, this just won't do. ]

3/3 YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING

[leatherdaddy]

[ Gladio reaches down to his sides and starts yanking on his tank top, stripping it off and throwing it to the side. There. Problem solved!

Also shirtless. ]

Thanks, partner!

1/2 DSKS;DFSDF I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

[hellshot]

[.....]

[hellshot]

[WHY DOES HE SURROUND HIMSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO EXCEL IN TAKING THEIR CLOTHES OFF. this is becoming a serious problem]

Don't.

Mention it.

...

[That's too many abs for a man who isn't a super soldier.]

[leatherdaddy]

[ Listen, this is Rugged Attire, he's got equipped! It's a perfectly viable armor set for him! All that extra mobility means he can really put his back into every swing!

...Also it might be for this very reaction that is the reason the universe conspires against him to break Reaper's steely, prickly exterior by any means necessary. ]

Hey, Reaper - been meanin' to ask. What's with the face guard? Is it protection or just for show?

[hellshot]

[Rugged attire. SURE. He turns his head to give Gladio a look when the age-old question was asked.

If he wasn't so used to people asking about his mask, he might get irritated with the other. Lucky for you, Gladio.]

Neither.

It's to cover up something no-one needs to see.

[Edgy.]

[leatherdaddy]

[ WELL with a mask like that, you can't not ask. It could be a superhero costume for all he knows. ]

Tch. If you just wanted to hide your identity, you could've just said that.

[ Gladio grumps as he strides over in an attempt to push past Reaper. Keep your edge pointed away from him please, you might cut someone with that. :< ]

[hellshot]

...

[Of course he'd think it's identity he's hiding. Oh my god Gladio. He almost sighs in irritation, but he stifles it for now.]

It has nothing to do with identity. I'm not so desperate to hide who I am.

[Even if he doesn't give out his real name... and... stuff.......]

People tend to get ill when they look at what a man who's been dead for ten years looks like, idiot.

[leatherdaddy]

[ ROLLS HIS EYES ]

Gimme a break.

[ Dead? He thinks not. Don't you think there'd be some kind of smell. N-no really, if there is Gladio maybe needs to... wash up or something. In any case, he's kind of had it up to here with all the snark and wordplay between those three. Now this! ]

Listen, if you don't wanna answer the question, fine. The least you can do is spare me another episode of bullshit --

1/3

[hellshot]

[You know what. No.
He's not taking this one with any dose of salt.

He gives the other a very flat, plain look....]

2/3

[hellshot]

[....Before reaching up to pull his mask off his face. Holding it for just long enough for Gladio to get a good Glance--]

3/3

[hellshot]

[And then he's pushing it back down over his face.]

Fuck off calling everything I say bullshit.

1/2

[leatherdaddy]

[ BY THE SIX

YEAH HE WAS NOT PREPARED ]

2/2

[leatherdaddy]

[ Guess who has two thumbs and feels like colossal jackass right now ]

...Don't take this the wrong way, but...

How are you still -- you know.

[hellshot]

[He should have known that question was coming next, honestly. That question always came next. He lets out a bit of a sigh, black smoke rising out from under his mask as if he'd had a cigarette.]

I don't know, honestly.

I died. There was experimental nanotechnology involved. All I know is that I didn't stay dead. And I can't die, now, either.
