pick a god and pray

[garudynamic]

[Like the weeks before, once everyone has wandered off their separate ways, notes are posted to each room that still has a warm body in it. Only this time the writing is much messier then any other notice]

None of us feel like celebrating, but I think Yato would approve if we don't spend the night hiding out because of him
There's warmed up food in the Game Room if you're hungry. Might be best to not be alone tonight.

-Yosuke

[And as promised there's leftovers in the Game Room; and eventually fresh stuff as Tarrlok gets to work in the kitchen. Yosuke is there, trying to set something up on one of the shelves, but otherwise you are left to your own devices]

Or a indoor pool. Honestly I wouldn't even be surprised anymore if we open up a floor and it's sandy.

[penduli]

That'd be a nightmare to clean up after. [ Sand... everywhere.... even on floors it shouldn't be. ] I wouldn't mind a pool, and I'm sure Mr. Cherryblod would lo-- [ ........


............. ] Would Mr. Cherryblod even be able to swim in one of those? [ Wouldn't it have chlorine. Does chlorine kill shrimp. ]

[garudynamic]

He seemed pretty excited about a pool when we talked about it- but I dunno if he's ever seen a public pool or not.

I couldn't swim much either, it'd react bad with the my coloring.

[He tugs at his bangs to accent his point]

[penduli]

[ well of course he's dyed. ...they don't have hair dye here, do they. ]

Maybe by the time we get a pool you won't have to worry about that.

[garudynamic]

Ugggh, don't remind me. My roots are already showing.

[penduli]

You'll look fine, Yosuke, don't worry. [ ...even if you'll also sort of look like a creme brulée. ] Maybe we'll get a salon next floor.

[garudynamic]

...even when I look a shitty tiger? My hair gows out FAST.

[penduli]

Even then. [ ... ] You'll be cute and all the girls'll fall for you. They'll see your pretty long hair and its streaks, and they'll swoon right over the moon.

[garudynamic]

[something rolls around in his belly at Black's comments. It's familiar and not unpleasant.

Shit]

Nah... I don't have great luck with that kinda thing.

[penduli]

[ ...huh. ] That's surprising. You'd be the type of guy who'd be a hit at the school I went to.

[ Friendly, funny, pretty good-looking. Excellent smile. ...that's all a little much to say, especially with the speed-date's answers still sitting heavy in his head, so he just slips his hands into his pockets. His appetite's sort of disappeared. ]

...you're pretty much a hit here too, actually. I don't think I've heard anyone say a cross word about you. [ ...that might be because Cherryblod is ready to kick the shit out of anyone who does but not the point here-- ]

[garudynamic]

Heh... what can I say? Captain Resentimant: Pure disapointment from the moment he opens his mouth.

[still, he's bright pink at wbat Black said]

[penduli]

I haven't been disappointed by you once. [ Well.

That's a lie, but it's one that comes easily enough. It's not like it wasn't his own fault anyway, really. ] Have a little more confidence in yourself.

1/2

[Oh fuck you william macbeth you can go die in a fire]

[garudynamic]

[He's shocked, and obviously rather touched. But he hides it quickly by flapping a hand and snorting with fake laughter. It'd be more convincing if Black hadn't seen the real thing a few times already]

D-dude... You're gonna give me a big head.

[penduli]

[ he won't comment on it, he's sensible enough not to tease right now ]

I'm sorry, but... it's true, and I'm sure there's plenty of people who'd agree. [ ... ] Are you feeling better now?

[garudynamic]

... I think so. You know, as good as I'm getting.

[Just to be ruined by his dreams, the stairs, and exploding friends in a 48 hour bunch. But, hey FOR NOW]

[penduli]

[ FOR NOW... ]

I'm glad. [ Yosuke looks better with a smile. Black looks at his food, then gently pushes it over to him. ] You should eat a little and go to bed--putting this together must've been exhausting.

[garudynamic]

[He takes the offering, nibbling a little]

Good idea. I kinda wanna pass out for a day or two. Don't wanna break one of the Kingmaker's 'rules' after all.

[He rolls his eyes with a snort]

...thanks, by the way. You know, for keeping me company.

[penduli]

It was nothing. [ Really. ...he can't resist the kicked puppy look. ] If you ever want company again--to talk or anything--you can come by my room anytime. The door's usually open if I'm in.

[garudynamic]

I'll take you up on that.

[You sure you want this Black- if this wasn't the Vault he'd start looking for porn in there]

[penduli]

[ Absolutely, bro. Besides his room is almost next to Cherryblod's, they could have a party or something. ]

I'm looking forward to it. [ ...is that the sort of thing you say to this? He... isn't sure, actually...

....


......well anyway. He's just going to give Yosuke another smile and wave before he heads off on his merry way. ]
