Week 2

[thecastle]

Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of many—first and foremost, the death of Rika Furude, and of course the reveal and subsequent "sentencing" of Asch the Bloody. It also serves well as a reminder to everyone that the gloves are off, there won't be an easy way out for anyone and it is unlikely that there will be an option to 'wait it out' in the hopes of not participating in this 'game'. Or, as The Sage and The Teishu put it:

The Challenge.

Despite how you felt about the trial, it's likely that some rest would be welcome after all that transpired. Fortunately, some of your fellow warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a reprieve of sorts, if you'd rather not be alone.

As if the events of the trial are supposed to be nothing but routine, dawns comes once more Sunday morning, punctuated with the sound of the rooster crowing obnoxiously. Any light sleepers hoping for their rest to not be disturbed may find themselves disappointed. Though, if anyone should wish, they may feel free to try to fall back asleep.

But, maybe that time can be better spent wandering. It seems that some places may have mysteriously unveiled themselves. It might do well to check them out. Or not. How anyone chooses to spend their time is ultimately up to them.

Yeah I ain't talked much ta his pal, but I'm sure interested in knowin' what Kurosaki-kun sees in 'im!

[ Because that'd be cute too. ]

Course he does! What's not ta like?

2/2

[pseudoregelia]

Good point! [Suppose it makes sense that the yakuza would be upfront...]

I must admit, I'm curious too...

[This is not the face of someone you want interested in your personal affairs.]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Nishitani is just very special. And from the 80s. And 100% upfront about everything, even the fact that he likes girls and guys. ]

Maybe we can pin 'im down one of these days an' set 'em up on a nice little date! [ That's awful, don't do that!! ] But we'd hafta find out what they like first. Don't want our pal Kurosaki-kun ta strike out, ya know?

[ When did you become pals with Kurosaki, Nishitani...? ]

[pseudoregelia]

Oooh... Maybe we could find out their favorite foods? Narumi-san is a great cook. We could prepare a dinner date for them!

[Hiyono you really need to stop volunteering Ayumu for shit.]

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, that's the shit! They'd fuckin' love it! A romantic dinner!

[ Stop... stop... ]

[pseudoregelia]

The ambiance isn't great, but maybe we can spruce it up a little? Oooh, we could even see what we can get from the pond!

[Jin is doomed.]

[buddyoldpal]

They can hang at the sakura tree! That shit's real romantic, ain't it?

[ Well, that or morbid, depending on who you ask. Bye, Jin. ]

[pseudoregelia]

That's right! I'm not sure what season it is, but it's blooming, isn't it?

[It was winter when she was in her world, sooooo...]

What about a flower-viewing date?!

[buddyoldpal]

Fuck yeah! Nothin' sets the mood like some fallin' flower petals, eh?

[ It was winter for him too... but eh, who cares, they're in the sky. ]

That sounds like a fuckin' flawless plan!

[ Of course it will be... ]

[pseudoregelia]

So all we need to do is figure out how to set them up to be there...

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah... Whaddya think'll do it? Free food? Blackmail? One o' us could pretend ta be Teishu-kun in a letter, that'd get their attention!

[ Nishitani... ]

[pseudoregelia]

They do say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, right?

[So if it's two men, then?!]

[buddyoldpal]

Hell yeah! Free food an' free booze always gets me callin'!

[ He's a bad example. ]

[pseudoregelia]

[But he's AN EXAMPLE which is better than nothing!]

If we can find out their favorite foods, Narumi-san can definitely whip them up for us!

[Why are you assuming he's going to help with this, Hiyono...]

[buddyoldpal]

Shit, now there's a fuckin' plan. Yer good at this, girlie. Better hope it's somethin' he can make here, though.

[ Now Nishitani is on board, you better cook, Ayumu... ]

[pseudoregelia]

[Hiyono alone is usually... persuasive enough, at least (read: he hates her complaining so he goes along with it).]

Then it's settled! I'll do a little digging to see what I can find out ♪

[buddyoldpal]

[ Sounds tsundere to me. ]

Sweet. Lemme know what ya find, Hiyono-chan!

[pseudoregelia]

[He's so, so tsundere.]

You can count on me!

[And with a quick salute, she's off to FIND HERSELF SOME GOOD DIRT.]

[buddyoldpal]

Make me proud, girlie!

[ He waves her off. Off she goes... ]
