Crab Hunters
During a very specific hunt for scrap, two sinners began a long conversation despite not starting out yet.
Mischief
Sinner #28
Good Wings, what are those?!
Backstreets tend to vary in nature, and Mischief in particular had never actually encountered creatures of these types before in their entire life.
When he and Kiya were sent to do the hunting, they were both perplexed in their own little ways.
Kiya
Sinner #25
Well, according to our Manager, they're...crabs? I guess?
Mischief
Sinner #28
Crabs?! No, no! Those can't be crabs. Crabs are usually red, white and come in little sticks inside plastic!
Kiya
Sinner #25
...Those aren't real crabs, I don't think. They're imitation meat.
Mischief
Sinner #28
Then why would they say "crab" in the packaging if they're not actually crabs?
Kiya
Sinner #25
Wh—Forget it, let's just kill these things already...
Sure enough, as if having overheard their conversation, these crabs angrily sped towards the two sinners. The fight proceeds as usual, with the focus being the obtaining of their shells.
They proved to be a lot more difficult than anticipated, as questions arise in casual matters. Such as when any of this will end, among other important reminders.
Kiya
Sinner #25
Hey, Mischief? I've been thinking.
Kiya suddenly speaks, gutting one of the bigger crabs open in one swift move.
Mischief
Sinner #28
You can think?
Kiya
Sinner #25
Be nice to me! Look, I think we can actually eat these things. Underneath all that scrap we can probably make some stew out of the legs, you know?
Mischief
Sinner #28
.....
Mischief
Sinner #28
I think you're crazy!
Kiya
Sinner #25
They're edible! I thought you were set on eating these things. Why are you changing your mind now?!
Mischief
Sinner #28
You wanna know why?! You really wanna know?! It's cause you're gonna borrow my stick to test it out, I know it!
Kiya
Sinner #25
No, I'm not...!
Kiya
Sinner #25
.....
Kiya
Sinner #25
Give me that.
Mischief
Sinner #28
Nooooooo!!! Nooooooooooo!!!!!
As Kiya tries to take Mischief's weapon from his hands, something big looms right behind them. Having sensing its weaker peers die pathetically, a rather displeased crab chitters over these two getting in the way.
Mischief
Sinner #28
I'm not giving it! You go take some other poor sod's stick instead of taking mine!
Kiya
Sinner #25
Wait. Wait. Why is it so dark?
The two of them turn around. Not even a minute later, their bodies get crushed by a huge hunk of scrap falling over their heads.
Their screams become muffled by the sounds of crunching and scraping.

Well, there ya have it. Now Greg owes me 20 ahn. Heh.
Gregor
Sinner #13
Grah, and here I was thinking they were gonna get sliced...
Ryoshu
Sinner #4
Tch. Would've been a sight for sure.
Dante
Executive Manager
...You guys were betting on their deaths?!
Some time later, after a pretty painful revival...
Kiya
Sinner #25
I'm not even going to deny it. That was my bad. Forgive me, Manager.
Mischief
Sinner #28
Yeah, it's totally your bad.
Kiya
Sinner #25
Shut up.
Dante
Executive Manager
Please be more careful next time, you two...
