[ It would not be the first time someone hid behind her for protection! ...Although admittedly Phoenix and Apollo, who she hangs out with the most, tend to step in front of her. As Teruteru just did right now, although he definitely does not sound entirely confident. Though the accent is getting back under control, too...
At least that's good. It has to mean he's pulling together more. Trucy herself isn't sure what they can do, but if there's someone in here...well, she's hardly going to pull out one of her throwing knives. Trucy has never wanted to hurt a person in her life, not really, and she'd only ever thrown knives at inanimate (or, well, scooter wheel animate) targets. Besides, she might hurt someone else by accident in the dark. ]
That's right! We're definitely not afraid!! [ Maybe... ]
Oh, that's fine! You can call me up about other things, too. Like if you see a really funny-looking leaf!! Or if you see a guy in a snazzy blue or a guy in a snazzy red suit up to anything funny! Or a girl in a snazzy yellow suit...
Are you saying you wouldn't have the same amount of dedication, Kaito?! I'm disappointed if that's the case!
[ JAIL BEFORE SECRET REVEAL although Trucy seems to think a magic-trick assisted escape from the courtroom is also a-okay, so y'know, whatever floats your boat ]
[ Those are probably screams in the distance...not everyone has gotten the very important memo not to ride the rides. Trucy's been telling people she's run into not to - or at least has shared her ferris wheel experience. She has yet to go on anything else, but after she tries one other ride just to see if she was wrong, she'll be completely Done with the entire idea of riding anything. ]
Me? [ Before he revises, because Trucy has never really considered if she were dangerous or not. She rubs her chin in thought, then smiles when he corrects himself. She seems like the sort of person who smiles a lot.
And laughs a lot, too, since she laughs again. ]
Yes! To being new. I don't think I'm particularly dangerous - I don't want to hurt anyone, anyway, and I wouldn't try to. But I don't know if that's a good gauge of "dangerous" or not, y'know? I'm Trucy Wright, by the way!
All right! Stand back and watch the Magician at work!
[ She'll heft the ring handed to her to test the weight, and then - with a practiced flick of her wrist - she sends it sailing to loop over a bottle neck with no apparent difficulties.
Hahaha... Not even prison garb can detract from the soul of a true warrior, magician girl. So you too, must strive to embody that which you seek to represent, not merely wear it as an accessory.
Oh, not really! But if you see them doing anything funny, I wanna hear about it, you know?
[ It's like that instagram thing where you put a camera on your cat and it reports back to your about their days...only with her family. She is literally just asking him to tell her anything funny that happens involving them.
Trucy straight-up assumes shenanigans will be occurring. ]
[Yeah, no, he's definitely afraid. He doesn't even have something on his person to help if he needed to... And if there's something he really can't stand - for what's probably an obvious reason to everyone but Trucy - it's the pitch black darkness they're dealing with.]
If... i-if you think I'll let you hurt us, y-y-you have another thing c... coming!
[That's not gonna stop him from talking big, though. Let's just hope the lights come back soon...]
[It didn't seem to hit him that this probably isn't deadly. But with the way she's talking... Maybe they'll be okay...
Alright - even though he can't see her, he's going to turn to face her, and gently put a hand on her shoulder. After all, knowing for certain that she's there is comforting!!]
Y-yes... after this, we'll get the best treats in the park! And perhaps, we'll find somewhere safe to eat together...!
Right! And I'll win you a toy at one of those games! I have really good aim for throwing things!
[ Good, just keep their spirits up...! Trucy has no idea if this is going to end fatally or not but if Teruteru can be brave enough to try to shield her she can sure as hell be brave enough to keep up her characteristic pep in the face of random snake monster attacks!!! ]
