[ watching a dirt clump fall down behind him as he steps out of the tunnel into this new bar... ]

I feel like wearing white may have been a mistake.

Might have been, but it'll wash out, if it comes to that.

[your Aesthetic. maybe don't wear white in murder hell. he's just heading for the bar, though, looking at a menu...]

It doesn't look like there's anything here to actually make these.

That's putting a lot of faith in this place's laundry facilities.

[ man

remember that time there was an arm in the wash... feels like that was three months ago ]

I'd say maybe they handle orders above the floorboards for the sake of hygiene, but...

[ lmao yeah right ]

Somehow, I don't think hygiene is that much of a concern.

[yeah. lmao is right.]

I think the facilities are fine, though, I can't believe the engineers at home are too busy trying to build teleporters and rockets and haven't made washing machines. Still miss just doing it with magic, but those are fairly close.

Well, clearly you need to invent them if you make it back.

I've thought about it, but I don't know the first thing about engineering. Might see if I can find a manual of some kind to take back, though.

[he's grabbing a drink, meanwhile.

no filter let's go.]

If all else fails you could probably get one of the tech experts here to write up a little explanation for you.

[ yeah same, that drink's probably the closest thing this place has to ramune aside from his number nine. ]

-you know, that's not a bad idea. I wonder if I could bribe Bixing into it, he loves explaining things, anyway.

[taking a sip of his drink...]

Lemon-? Oh, that one's not bad at all. Not as good as the Number Nine was, but nothing's really going to live up to that one.

I know, I don't understand why they haven't made all their cocktail recipes in highly appealing flavors like that if they really want us to drink them all. Seems like a big missed opportunity.

[ ...but he nods after taking a sip of this one. ]

This is a pretty good one, though.

Think I almost preferred sharing that one to just drinking it...

[the lack of filter is off to a great start, clearly.]

But this one comes close.

Oh~?

[ not like that's a surprise given Everything since then, but he'll still tease about it. ]

Close to your... what was it, crystallized mana orange wine or something?

Mana-infused wine, thank you very much, there was no orange flavor in that one.

[don't slander his favorite like this, wow.]

It never needed additional infusion beyond the mana, that added plenty of dimension to it.

Right. My mistake.

[ it's still sunkist in his heart, hence the orange. ]

I suppose I can find it in me to forgive you for it. Maybe.

[never explain this to him he'll be mad about it.]

Would it make that much of a difference if you couldn't?

To you? Probably not. Not appreciably, anyway, I doubt you'd care whether I did or not.

[lack of filter means a little more straightforwardness, evidently.]

Oh, of course not, I meant to you. I'm curious just how unforgivable I'd have to be for you to stop associating with me. As much as you complain, you're actually pretty lenient.

You haven't actually done anything to me save for needling me constantly. You're frustrating sometimes, yes, but for the most part I just like to argue, you're not bad company at all when you're not trying to annoy me.

[luckily the drink's effects keep him from going Why Am I Saying This. for now.]

Can't say where exactly the line is but it'd be somewhere between 'just being obnoxious' and 'killing someone I like'. I'm sure you'd cross it before getting that far.

[ "i just like to argue", huh? that's definitely going to get thrown back in his face someday. ]

I see! Someone you don't like is fair game though, are they?

I'm still not going to be pleased about it, but consider me disappointed but not surprised in that situation.

[like. he's not going to be shocked if local demon incapable of feeling love stabs a person.]

Ouch.

What? It's not like I'm saying you'd do it indiscriminately or anything. Doubt you would unless you had an actual reason for it, and besides, the same goes for more than just you.

[there are Multiple people here mentally filed under 'unsurprised if they stabbed a person'.]

...after the last couple of weeks, it seems like it might be possible for any of us, anyway.

It does, yes. So I suppose maybe none of us would really be that surprising!

I'm curious who else would have been on your "unsurprising" list, though.

Hm...

Lee, Ryo, Scaramouche, and Childe for absolute least surprising, probably.

Yeah, that's a pretty good list.

week 4, monday
