[To be fair this is a very uniquely awkward situation. Mike delays his reply too, taking a moment to think it all over. He snaps his fingers, though of course that can't be heard on his side of the screen.]
I got it.
Remember that joint Mana took us to? The place is still going strong last I checked. If Crow's got some pent up stress, why not try that place? None of the folks are scared of monsters there, either!
<shootingStardust>
It's Yusei.
You said to let you know when Crow came back.
He's back, but...he's acting weird.
<motormutt>
he's alive/?
oh man I'm. That's good. Taht' REALLY good
I wanna see him. What's weird about it?
<shootingStardust>
Enjoying drowning people. Way too much.
<motormutt>
. . .
[????????????]
You mean he's hungry? That means he came back a monster again....dang.
but that doesn't sound too crazy. It's just what happens when some folks come back.
<shootingStardust>
But this isn't normal. It's not that he's really hungry that's worrying me it's
[How does he say this??? He doesn't really want to, but how else is Mike going to understand the situation?]
To put it bluntly, he's getting off on it.
<motormutt>
There is a long pause before Mike replies again.]
Yikes.
I mean. That's Different. Not trying to shame him or something but--it wasn't like that before yeah?
<shootingStardust>
But even that has nothing on this. It's really disturbing.
<motormutt>
. . .
Maybe he's just frustrated? Reviving, being hungry, adjusting to his body again, it sounds like he's got some pent up energy.
<shootingStardust>
[There's a moment before any other messages come in, proving even the network isn't immune to awkward pauses.]
Do you think there's anything that can be done about this?
<burnitup>
I got it.

<shootingStardust>
It's worth a try. I'll bring him there then.
<motormutt>
Let me come with you guys.
<shootingStardust>
Crow might.
He tends to hold onto grudges.
<motormutt>
But it's not like I can just stroll up to him after that. If it's gonna be awkward, might as well have a distraction close at hand.
