[ okay well AT SOME POINT IN THE EVENING, we're down on furry planet at the lodge drinking the strongest mead this place has and not larping our dead friends anymore!!! he's in lots of warm pink layers and has fluffy white chihuahua ears that twitch a little each time he takes a drink. ]
Don't love this planet, but it's nice to get some free stuff you don't have to sell your blood for!
It's like fruit juice and wine! Something about turning something into alcohol somehow always makes it less sweet.
[ She'd be down for a sugary cocktail here and there though. She isn't a hardass who's all like, vodka or bust! ]
I meant more in the sense of things like, I had to explain what a bus was to someone, and I still remember you trying to explain phones to me -- but thet weird physical distortions and stuff are pretty wacky too.
[ hell yeah sugary cocktails. give him that sweet cassis orange. ]
Ohhh, yeah, yeah. Everyone getting clothes from home helped a little since you could at least tell like, someone in armor probably didn't know what a computer was. But now that everyone can wear whatever it's harder again...
When in doubt, I just go and get the best food and drink the planet has to offer. I already have a tattoo, so it's not like I need another one, and the clothes in the Eudora concourse are all pretty good, and plus, what if we end up on a super-hot planet next time?
[ wow he was thinking about his home item voucher because he's been seriously debating that since last weekend, so that answer probably sounded insane and he's glad she didn't acknowledge it!!!
he has been markedly less interested in the one they got for this planet compared to the love hotel one. not that he got to USE that one... ]
Haha... um, yeah, I actually— I don't know, I guess maybe I could get a nice jacket or something? Most of the stuff here isn't really my style, though.
[ She genuinely had no idea what he was talking about with the support AI but she honestly will just accept anything at this point, tbh. They're in space, they're dealing with nanites, why not have support AIs that wanna be funny. ]
What kinda stuff you like? Other than drinks. Which, you should've gone to Titan's Call with me more often! I always like having drinking buddies.
[ comedian robots for sale on the frozen furry planet... ]
I'd definitely be up for that!
[ please 🙏 he feels like a loser drinking alone in public. ]
Mm, I like fashion and accessories and cute stuff in general a lot, I'm just kind of picky about it. I have a pretty carefully cultivated image, you know? I have to stay in character!
[ one of the many complications of looking exactly like the five guys standing next to you. ]
Aside from that... music, I guess? But I don't think they'd have anything in a format I'd be able to play, if we're still talking about the bazaar here.
Your anime? You run an animation studio or something, Toddy?
[ Help was Todomatsu a 4th wall breaker, idk anything about this show. ]
Pink's a cute colour! We all kinda got our own unique symbols and callsigns at the LCB. makes sense since there's twelve, technically thirteen of us, and that's just in the LCB alone -- the entire company is a lot more people.
[ Limbus is kinda meta but not like, Deadpool meta, so she doesn't totally get it. ]
My colour's dark red, my title's "Raskol" -- which is why it's also the one I'm using on the I.R.I.S. Oh, and I usually get a icon that looks like a heart. It's pretty close to the tattoo I have.
[ I wish I could say Rodya cared but she does not, partially because she thinks she's hot shit and partially because she knows her tattoo is in a place that would make it look like boob ogling. She's kind of insane but not unreasonable. ]
Sure, maybe, in a way.
If you really want to read into it, anything could have meaning -- after all, everyone has their own story.
[ it's fine because she's correct she's hot as fuck ]
Mm... it seems like such a big commitment.
[ sips his fresh drink ]
I dunno what I'd ever get one of. Hypothetically.
[ like the leather jackets, that's more karamatsu's style than his. though he's pretty sure karamatsu would just get his own face tattooed on himself if he had the guts to get one. awful. ]
Then again, tattoos don't have to be that serious! They can just take it off these days if you decide you hate it later or turn it into something else. You could get like, a cute cat, to look at when you're feeling kinda down.
[ She has bad ideas don't let her talk you into anything. ]
Edited (can i stop misspelling small) 2024-03-14 12:34 (UTC)
Well, you should put it wherever you want! Someplace you think is the most fun. It is your body and all.
[ She does genuinely think it'd be cute for Todomatsu to get a little heart tat but she won't tell him where to put it. Put it behind the ear for all she minds if he wants to keep it subtle! But she cannot lie, she is wondering what exactly Todomatsu will do with such a decision. ]
[ I'm in tears I hope this is what the goal was. She's a real one though she really will hold his hand and even pet his hair as he tears up. You are just a little baby... she unironically fawns over soft guys, she just wants to noogie you so bad but you are already suffering from the tattoo needle. ]
Wanna get fries in celebration?
[ Hangover food. And then Todomatsu can consider his decisions today. ]
[ This ending note is killing me so bad help. This is exactly the kind of people you'd hate to sit next to but you'd also love to sit next to because you know you can eavesdrop into some really funny weird shit. ]
Oh, we're so totally going drinking, Toddy.
[ JUST TO LET YOU KNOW. She wants to see stupid in action. ]
todomatsu's in a sweater and plaid pants today, just kind of looking around like damn, this is what these things are like outside of movies, huh. really putting their neighborhood pachinko parlor to shame.
once he spots rodya, though — it is so convenient that she's this tall — he perks up and heads over in her direction. ]
Rodya-san~!
[ waves! ]
This place was pretty much made for you, huh? It's even almost got your name!
May as well treat it like a full vacation! Milk those four days for all they're worth!
Hmm, how good are you and how much do you like thinking? Blackjack is definitely the easiest and you barely have to think about that, unless you really wanna play. Poker's a classic... roulettes is always fun.
Mm... All we really have is pachinko [ which they all play entirely too much of and he's not about to cop to how much of their parents' money they blow on that ] so I don't have much experience with any of this, actually.
At home we mostly play mahjong, which... is a little like poker, I think? I like games that are more about strategy, anyway.
[ Rodya's probably just sorta hanging out in the lounge, or at least somewhere in the hallways near it. She's not really here to actually do anything, more like just wandering around for the sake of wandering. ]
Then kind of just looks off at some other corner, like she's thinking about something, but it's hard to discern what or even what kind of vibe iet is. ]
Guess I was more surprised we were all doing so well for so long. We all kind of have a habit of dying a lot.
[ She's a little skeptical because so much of this game people have been telling her that her world and life SUCKS ASS. It's not hostile but it really is like. A do you really kind of question. ]
Well, we're a gag anime, so we have a lot of stupid temporary deaths that are only meant to last for one segment. I got disintegrated a couple of times, died on a recreational mountain climb, blew up in space... got, like, desiccated and eaten...
[ that one was especially weird. ]
The one that actually counted was the time a plane crashed into our house and we all died for real and went to hell, but we got some help breaking out of there and came back to life.
...As zombies, kind of, but we got better by the next season.
It's... kind of both...? Like, sometimes we're playing roles that aren't really us, and other times it's just our own lives, and sometimes it's somewhere in between.
[ trying to parse all of this makes this canon so fucking hard to rp from!!! ]
But I mean, we're animated, so we can just explode or whatever whenever it's called for, we don't need sets or special effects or anything for the most part.
[ we're in the wrong genre for that now, it probably would not be okay ]
Anyway, that's— I'm used to death not really sticking as long as it's for comedy. It's not usually something we'd have to worry about until late in the season when the tone shifts.
So when people started dying so soon after we got here — in really unfunny ways — and didn't come back the following week, it freaked me out pretty badly. I thought without like, the rule of comedy protecting me, I'd be one of the first ones to die here.
[ ... ]
But instead I'm the last one standing out of two of the Thursday night groups I stayed with, which is just... what the hell is that?
[ honestly he's glad for that; he doesn't know what the fuck to do with guy's 49372637 hands on his shoulder, and as self-absorbed as he is, he thinks it would be kind of fucked up for someone close to gregor to offer him sympathy right now. he doesn't want to deal with the pressure of having to feel bad about that. ]
I mean, we're all stuck doing that until we've got enough information to figure out how to fix this, aren't we?
There's more than enough to do a bit more than be "stuck doing that", if you ask me. And me, well -- I'm not the kind of girl who likes sitting around and listening to people talk about the theoretical. I already had enough of that and know how much it's really worth.
I've got my own action plans. I'll kill him, tomorrow -- and then I'll bring him back, however way that ends up going down.
[ Not that she'd know ICly that she would get to but eh whatever, Rodion is a master at just Deciding Things anyway. ]
[ he thinks they're actually pretty limited in what they can do during trials specifically, because what the fuck is the alternative, let someone who didn't do anything get voted out like her idiot roommate tried to make happen?? but he's just going to keep his mouth shut about that right now.
he's also not batting an eye at the "i'll kill him" part of that plan, because yeah, he'd be very surprised if it wasn't her doing it, given the execution track record here. ]
Yeah. [ a firm nod. ] That's what we're all planning on — bringing everyone back. It's just a matter of finding the last pieces and putting them together to figure out what we need to do to make it happen.
[ he appreciates the shounen energy, but if it was as easy here to crash into hell and break everyone out through sheer will (and the power of fujio akatsuka) as it was back home, that would have happened already. ]
[ We don't have the fourth wall audaciousness to just submit a new journal post onto the comm being like ENDGAME and REVIVAL and godmoding the game........
She looks at him for a moment with an unreadable sort of face again, but one more like she wants to say something about it but has to think first. She doesn't really know how to go about it though so she just shrugs a shoulder after a moment. ]
[ help if only his fourth wall powers went that far
he watches her quietly through whatever she seems to be debating, but he has no idea where her train of thought is going, and isn't certain enough of the context to answer the question she ended up on. ]
...On what part? What I want to happen, or our theories so far, or...?

Don't love this planet, but it's nice to get some free stuff you don't have to sell your blood for!

I could do with less cold, personally, but people not trying to bite you unprompted anymore is nice.

Hehe, thanks!

Mead! It's like, a fermented honey thing?
[ maybe she already knows this but he doesn't know what her world has besides buses. ]

Cool, I'll definitely have some of that then.
[ Sounds good to her! She's just here to chill, maybe a little too literally, and look around. ]

What are you trying to be, a mascot character? You should create like. A brand logo. Brand image?
no subject
Kiiiind of? I mean, our anime already has a logo they put on everything.
[ one of his layers is probably a hoodie or jacket from home, so he will just. point to the little green shrub looking thing on it. ]

Aaah, it wouldn't really suit me though, would it?

Why do you say that?
