[The creature recoils its stump back flailing as it does. This action does send black blood to spray over them and a squirming tentacle to flop on deck.]

How cha---

[Rest of the comment is cut off as the flailing squid monster tries to tip over the boat like an angry manatee.]

[One cannot say that Tyki has ever been the brightest out of the Noah. Covered in black blood, he slicks his hair back.] That didn't go as planned.

[The less charming looking Noah of the two is already charging up that dark matter into his hand but he's not exactly stable when the boat tips and SPLOOSH, now the Noah is in the water.]

[At least that dip in the pool is getting that gunk out of his hair. The boat doesn't completely turn on its belly but it teeters close to it before sinking back to his original position.

Tyki reaches over the edge to grab onto an oar that is trying to escape. Which is short lived as one slimy appendage rips it from his hands. While another tries to drag the swimming one down further.

It has a small brain. And the creature's mom never told him stories about Exorcists and Noah Memories as a kid.]

[Thankfully for that it is. By the time he surfaces again it'll be all washed out and clinging to his face. The Noah still on the boat will see nothing for a few seconds until there is suddenly an upturn of water and a massive explosion below. Dark matter under water works just as well as anything else.

Tyki will grab onto the boat and drag himself over the edge and just float there.] Lose something?

[Tyki grabs the oar and pulls it in as the boat shakes on the wave of the explosion. This is followed shortly after by a section of the water turning a darker color.]

Just this.

I figured you'd come back after you were done playing.

[The boat is still slightly tilted and that's only because he's dragged up a portion of the carcass and tied it to the side of the boat.]

If you feel like joining in I can always shove you into the water too.

[Comment gets ignored because of what you are doing.]

And why are we bringing that along with us?

[Wiggling the boat a little like he might upheave it. But then there is the french bread and wine to consider in the other bag.]

Food? [Not the best idea... ]

You must have acquired some unique tastes on that floating house of yours.

It's habit. I keep forgetting there are better things to eat out here. We can just cut it up and use it as bait when we fish if you want. I haven't had much of that in a while save for what I got to have on the boat.

I don't think we even need to cut it up. Leave it drifting like that and you just might get a shark to come by.

I hear those are rather good tasting.

Whatever you say. I know at least you haven't lost a finer taste.

[He's going to snap that baguette in half and hold out the other piece to him.] You know someone that knows?

[He declines.] You enjoy that. I could lose a pound or two.

The Boss mentioned it in passing once. [Tyki looks up.] Well, we might not have attracted fish for now, but we did attract a few birds.

[A couple will come land on the edge of the boat.]

You don’t look that bad to me. [He rubs his chin with thought when he looks up at the birds before tucking a piece of bread into his mouth.]

If you say so. I’ll take your world for it this time. [At least until he tries it to make sure himself.] We could always shoot a few down.

[Taking a look into one of those bags.]

Now you didn't squirrel away a pair of pistols, did you?

[Squirrel. Funny. Tyki almost didn't catch that. He picks up the bag and tosses it at him.] I don't think so. Not much use for them. A little dark matter will just pluck it down.

[If it doesn't make the thing combust or incinerate in the process.]

[Going to dig through it. Why not? Looking for things to through.]

If you want it cooked at the same time, yes. Besides that is entirely too easy and hardly worth making a game out of.

[He digs into his pockets for anything he can find. It's mostly things like coins and few rings. He takes one of the quarters and aims, chucking it at the bird hard enough. Tyki misses but clips a wing, causing it to divebomb into the water now that it can't fly.

Some lucky fish or shark just got food.] Maybe you'll have better luck.

[Holy--- You actually hit that. Or at least glanced off it. He whistles after the initial wide eyed appreciation.]

I think I'll have to pass. I am quite sure I couldn't do that with a shot gun let alone with spare train fare.

[Most likely pure luck on his part. He picks out a bottle cap from the bag, some fanatic probably collecting them as souvenirs and chucks it. Complete miss.]

What? You don’t even want a slight challenge? [Oops. Stealing your words.]

[Shakes his head with a laugh.]

My, when you put it that way. What is there to lose?

[Takes a coin from the pile you have, aims it, misses entirely. It lands into the water with a think plop when it comes down.]

Unless you were planning on making a bet out of this. Like who has to row this thing for the next hour.

[He sets the coin pile down so he can lean back against the side of the boat and sun dry, prefering the older method of things. Taking a coin, he completely misses. See the first time was just luck.]

Seeing as I'm already one up, I don't know about your odds of winning.

Maybe I'll get better with a bit of incentive.

Besides, I already was rowing. So, do you care to make a bet out of it?

Or you are, uh, what does Kenzi call it? Hustling me?

[Because c’mon, Tyki does that all the time when pretending to be a hobo.] But fine, bet it is.

You don't seem to mind at all? But then again, I might do it anyway even if you did.

[He's going to dig into your bag of tricks and produce a nice, china plate. Attempting a discuss. That gets closer but still no good for a strike, but it skips over the water nicely before sinking in.]
