WHAT in person
WHERE Out By The Woods
WHEN Day 13??? one day a post seems to be working ok

[Eventually this business will probably move down into the fight ring, but this is a TEST and maybe a bit of MARKETING. So it's taking place out of the way but still in a pretty visible area.

On display we have ONE (1) ten (10) foot tall Gundam, and probably a short boy attached to it by a black umbilical cord.

There are also TWO (2) iron men suits, on loan from Heavenly Grounds.

There's probably various other people around.

And then there's this purple haired guy, who if he catches you looking over with any kind of interest at what is going on, will wave you over.]

Yo! Morning. You want to try one?

Thanks.

[there is butter going in a pan and he is slicing what is definitely some homemade bread.]

I think I follow, a lot of it is lost on me because it always sounds like 'American' was one of the most prominent themes of that game. Less guns than you'd expect, though.

[This is fucking wild, ngl. Dave is watching curiously.]

Says the dude who actually owns a gun. Talking to the trolls it seems more like it adapted to whatever the cultural framework at hand was. So you'd just have to think of it in terms of what the pop cultural references for Japan would have been.

[Bread goes in a toaster, eggs go in the pan, slicing tomato, opening up a tub of herby goat cheese.]

I was never actually that in touch with Japan's pop culture, either.

I sort of guessed that.

[This is kind of impressive he's like a well-oiled machine]

Should I be. Helping. Doing something.

No, it's about done.

[pops out the toast, butters, applies goat cheese mix]

So, when are you from?

[He looks a bit embarrassed]

Couple days after I texted you the first time.

So, about a month in? Here you go.

[freshly fried egg onto the sandwich, salt, pepper, bread on top. holds out the plate with delicious fried egg sandwich.]

'Bout that, yeah. Thanks.

[let's be real this is probably the healthiest thing Dave has ever eaten. He looks somewhat dubious, taking the plate and sitting down to eat.]

Wow.

Tastes like it won't linger for decades in my cells for decades.

Sorry to be clear it's like the best fucking thing I've ever eaten.

Huh. That's a little depressing.

[he takes a seat pretty comfortably.]

But I'm glad you like it. There'll be plenty more, something that takes some actual effort, even.

[Dave snorts, takes a couple more bites.]

I was pretty dubious about this whole endeavor but knowing we become awesome at it pretty much erases my reservations.

We get pretty awesome at a bunch of things. It turns out when you don't need jobs or to save the world, there isn't much to do but develop new skills.

Topic change, I think this is enough spoilers for one visit.

You've more or less gotten all the spoilers you're going to get out of me anyway. I don't actually like knowing the future too much.

You already know all about my opinion in regards to that.

[Looks askance a bit]

Thanks for those particular spoilers, though. Sorry I sort of freaked out for no reason.

It was fine. It's a topic that bothers you, not me. And the only way it will stop bothering you is if you keep confronting it.

I know. I don't even think this is the time god horseshit; I just get everything done as circuitously as possible.

I'm not really sure that's exclusive to you or even particularly unnatural. That might just be how humans grow.

[Appears to consider this as he finishes off the sandwich, then shrugs.]

Yeah alright, you might have a point there.

Anyway, I don't think it actually matters whether or not you choose to talk to yourself. I still don't do it if I can avoid it, I can't imagine that ever changing.

Okay, but it's hilarious when you do it, as opposed to just sad, when I do it. I guess it's the same deal though. It 'bothers' me so that's some kind of tension to work out. With you two it seems pretty different, more like you just hate being out-assholed.

[Smiles briefly at being out-assholed.]

If I dealt directly enough with myself enough to self-quadrant, it would probably go ashen pretty quickly. I can and basically already do help myself balance our relationships, but I can't generate enough self-pity to go red.

Comparatively, you never turn it off, and seem to see every encounter with yourself mostly as an opportunity to worry about how he's doing and whether or not the current you is burdening the other one. Considering how awful those types of feelings are fundamentally, it makes sense to want to avoid any possible multipliers.

[Taps the counter, thoughtful.]

Sounds cute when you put it like that.

[Hms thoughtfully]

Yeah, I guess I think it's pretty cute.

[Wow Kaito was not supposed to AGREE. Dave flusters a bit.]

You're probably right and we don't need to push it too much but I guess we could like, try a couple trust falls. Don't want to put all that penetrating analysis to waste.

[Ha ha, Kaito notices.]

What would a 'trust fall' look like?

I guess you could do it literally.
