[ food court food court

todomatsu is wearing something like this (comfy) and leaning in with a catbot server to take a selfie with it, trying to time it so that they both wink at the same time. ]

[inequals]

[ The fit is adorable. Rodya doesn't know anything about Instagram culture so she doesn't know not to interrupt this. ]

Whatcha doin', Toddy?

[drymonster]

[ it's fine, it's a robot, he can force it to post with him whenever he wants to ]

Oh, Rodya-san! [ waves! ] I just thought these robots were really cute, so I wanted to get a picture with one.

[inequals]

[ He can have a little wave back! ]

They are kinda cute. How's the picture-taking going?

[ Show her your haul she is curious. ]

w2, tuesday

[drymonster]

[ 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!

[inequals]

[ That was a weird-ass lunchtime for her, honestly. ]

Ohh, how cute!

[ Rodion is comparatively less cute. Her limbs are constantly encased in growing icicles, which she's constantly shaking off. ]

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

[drymonster]

[ it was weird to watch!!!! ]

Hehe, thanks!

[ he knows he's adorable! even though he actually got way fewer unprompted bites than he would have preferred and was kind of offended by it.

but, hm. looks at her ice. ]

Ah... yeah, you probably could, huh... I guess you can't just fix it by hanging out in front of the fireplace?

[inequals]

Nah, looks like I'm not getting off that easy.

[ She's going to shake off enough where she can just plop herself down opposite to Todomatsu and call over a server. ]

I'll have what he's having! What are you having?

[drymonster]

[ already drunk enough that he's a little "oh" at hearing her say "getting off" but at least he doesn't show it. he is a decent young man, sort of.

raises his mug!! ]

Mead! It's like, a fermented honey thing?

[ maybe she already knows this but he doesn't know what her world has besides buses. ]

I dunno, I never really heard of it existing outside of western renaissance faires before, but it's their big thing, apparently.

[inequals]

[ I'm in tears. ]

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. ]

Hard to tell what's normal for who, huh?

[drymonster]

It's pretty good! Not quite as sweet as you'd expect for a honey thing.

[ takes a drink then also looks around ]

With the weird effects and stuff, you mean?

w3 at some point

[drymonster]

[ just throwing in a dumb drinking memory for her to have seen at some point during memshare!!! ]

[inequals]

[ 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. ]

w4, monday

[drymonster]

[ casino tiiiime

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!

[inequals]

[ Cute help!! Rodya is having a pretty good time looking around this place. It's pretty dang awesome. ]

Toddy~. Cute sweater!

I know right? It's like it was made for me -- which, after last week, I'm totally taking.

[drymonster]

Thanks!

[ does a little spin ]

But ugh, yeah, last week was pretty bad... we've more than earned this vacation! Semi-vacation. Whatever.

Any recommendations on what to play here?

[inequals]

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.

[drymonster]

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.

W5, saturday;

[inequals]

[ 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. ]

[drymonster]

[ honestly, valid. he pauses when he sees her. ]

...Hey. Sorry about all this.

[ not that any of it is his fault, but. ]

[inequals]

[ She just Looks at him.

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.

[drymonster]

...Yeah, I think I kind of get that.

[ despite their worlds being extremely different, he has, in fact, died many times, and he doesn't know how the fuck he's still here. ]

[inequals]

Do you?

[ 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. ]

[drymonster]

I mean, my world's nothing like yours, but I've died at least a half dozen times in it.

[inequals]

What usually gets you then?

[ Your REBOOTS? ]
