Yeah, uh, bad guys are usually the ones who kidnap people and hold them against their will to do bad things to them so they can't be stopped, you know? Come on, Bunny, you know what hostages are, they're definitely exactly like hostages, only at didn't even do anything yet too get them to start hurting them!

[ Kotetsu doesn't notice any further subtle hints something is wrong with Barnaby, except of course for the fact he's talking and dressing really weirdly. So he definitely doesn't pick up on the other suddenly deciding to play along. Maybe he didn't just get here, afterall? Maybe he's gotten too deep into this fantasy-LARP-but-not gig and forgotten things from home? Is that even a thing? Are their brains going to devolve back to not primitive times (lucky for Kotetsu his can't devolve much more or it wouldn't be a brain anymore.)]

Come on, how long have you been here, anyway? This really isn't like you... [ well... maybe a little bit but it's a Barnaby from a long time ago back when they hated each other. ]
