WHAT in person
WHERE ALL OVER
WHEN day 7, evening -> night
NOTES it's just a mingle really

[ Maybe you're getting off work now, or maybe you're just heading there. Or maybe you don't even have a job? Either way, it's a nice quiet evening to be outside in Quiet Mounds. Out on the streets, there's no sound at all. No birds or crickets, no murmur of crowds, no traffic. Isn't it peaceful? ]

Aaagh, I knew it. I knew that would happen. I knew, but I wasn't braced for it at all.

[the hell is that in your hand, master]

What are you talking about?

It's VHS! It's what we used before Blu-Ray and DVDs. Honestly it's way worse and way more inconvenient, so nobody really misses them, but it's all they have at that rental place.

.................renting?

[he sighs and puts the groceries on the counter.] Oi, rentals still exist you know. It used to be the only choice. There was no streaming and no internet strong enough for a while, so you had to go to a store and drop a few hundred yen to borrow a movie. Apparently that's all Quiet Mounds has.

Oh. I didn't notice. Because I don't watch much.

I hadn't checked it out yet since I didn't have the time. But now I do! I usually put something on right before I go to bed.

You do? You must sleep really late, I never hear it.

I don't want to wake you up! I keep the volume down.

Have you ever seen Mothra?

No. It's like Godzilla, right?

They're both kaiju movies! Though Mothra is eventually on our side. She's more of a protector type.

Sometimes Godzilla protects.

Very true. Ooh, we can watch the new Godzilla next.

I haven't seen that one. Have you?

Nope, I never got around to it. I won't want to fall asleep for that one.

We should have popcorn when we watch.

Good idea! In fact, I bought popcorn for this one~

Are we staying up late?

Yes, Mob, you can stay up late enough to finish the movie.

[stuff mom always tries to do: prevent fun stuff like this. i mean. mob stays up late anyway when he wants to but.

still feels like he gets to get away with something]

And Saitama-san is staying to watch?

[I'm not your parent I'm the COOL SHISHOU]

Yep, he's sticking around!

I'm glad we have people over a lot.

[a long beat before]

You're really happy.

Ah.

[his wider smile breaks to a smaller, more rare one, and he rubs his hair a bit.]

You know, it's been pretty nice, seeing Tristan and Saitama again, and getting to introduce them to you.

[ruffles his hair!!]

And I have you and Serizawa's support! It means a lot to me. I would still be overworking if it wasn't for you.

You would have done it even if I wasn't here then...

Aah... that wasn't your fault, Mob. I'm just the type to work hard on default.
