[ standing outside the church, looking at the bible message in the dirt. ]

What??

[ oh.


looks at the message. ]

Oh yes. The cursed book.

What did it do?

Well, I don’t know, I had the good sense not to pick it up after someone kept muttering to themselves and then threw it at me.

Who did that?

[ watches this happen with ridiculous sunglasses on like.

i see. ]

Not a seafood fan, then?

[ you can't just say that and not show me the sunglasses ]

Oh! No, I like most seafood!

[ he'd be fucked living in japan if he didn't... ]

That was an empty shell anyway. Had a crack in it. Not cute, unfit for craft projects.

[ i never know what to expect from this series and every time it curveballs me in ways i would never have ever expected. help.


also astarion shouldn't find this funny, but he does. ]

Did he hit a nerve, perchance?

[ you say that and yet i'm realizing that both memories i've given you are of choromatsu being a weird loser while todomatsu yells at him ]

Ugh. He just drives me crazy with his performative crap.

[ this is the one constant that i have don't take it from me. ]

...

[ oh, a nerve was hit. ]

Mmm, and if he really believed it was going to do all of... whatever it was he said he was going to do? [ what even is an idol ]

Ugh. I guess that technically went better than last week.

[ ugggh. ]

Technically! That's better than 'unmitigated disaster'.

Yeah! Upgraded from that to "mostly mitigated disaster".

[ hell yeah i love a boardwalk.


he is just staring at it though. quite critically. ]

I'm fairly sure any carnival I've seen in my life has had people running the stalls and games.

Kind of makes you wonder about the food, right? Somehow it seems weirder than the magically restocking convenience store did.

[ covers his mouth for a second to bark like a chihuahua. ugh, can this please stop already??? ]

And I guess the games might be either more or less rigged than usual...

Oh, games like this are always rigged. Some more than others. [ he's curious now. ]

I doubt they'd poison us. But.... there could be something in there. Rage potion? Something embarrassing.

[ watches him trying not to bark like ok. ]

Ugh. Yeah, honestly now that you say that, I think I'll be more surprised if it doesn't.

[ god knows this place can't fucking get enough of making me look like a jackass. ]

[ at the pavilion for a no holds barred shopping spree because nothing costs money!!!! yeah!!!!!!


also, immediate hug on sight. ]

Sorry.

[ nothing costs money and they’re doomed to hug! yeah!! what a week!!!


totty is hugged back. reluctantly. ]

It has to wear off at some point.

[ yeah the vibes are vaguely embarrassed and annoyed but tempered by the positive feeling of Clothes ]

It's probably like the barking last week, right? So I think we'll be free after midnight. Hopefully.

[ if they can detach themselves they're going to have the best time. ]

Last week was the barking?
