hey are you still hanging in there or are you dead dead

[janescayre]

Who is this?

Why are you talking to me?

[pyojeol]

han sooyoung

[sooyoung replies like that in itself is useful information,]

u thought i was gonna steal ur organs remember

[janescayre]

[Wait

it's coming back to her]

You?

What do you want? Are you trying to push more drugs on me?

[pyojeol]

[THOSE WEREN'T HER DRUGS?

thinks about it.

eh, toko's accusation is fair, tbh. she did say to try some...]

nothing like that
u know how all the housing options here are shitty/in need of repairs
well i found the biggest building i could find and im fixing it up
and i need tenants
what do u think about moving into the han sooyoung corporation apartment complex?

[janescayre]

[it was still her peer pressure.....]

What?

Why me?

Isn't it arrogant to name a whole building after yourself?

[pyojeol]

am i supposed to name it after someone else???
i need tenants so i figured id ask

ull have to pay rent but ill accept payment in the form of labor, groceries, whatever

[janescayre]

Just pick something pleasant about the scenery, like Three Pines or whatever. Using your own name comes off as short man syndrome.

[short woman.

And hmm, Stygia is pretty crusty. Fukawa's got little experience having control of her own deals, even with a successful writing career. Being a minor meant all that money went straight to her parents and then down the drain. So, she should look to the model businessman for guidance. What would Byakuya-sama do?]

Okay but I'll need to see the paperwork first. I won't sign up for anything without knowing the terms. That's how you get a credit card with a 50% interest rate, or a husband in debt to the mob.

Also I have a roommate. I'm not coming if she can't come too.

[pyojeol]

ok be real with me is there anything pleasant about the scenery here

[it's not short man (woman) syndrome if it's earned??? think about it fukawa]

okok sure i can scrounge up paperwork ig
and ur welcome to bring whoever u want
whats her name so that i know she's ur +1 and not a rando

[janescayre]

Maybe not in the landscape, no. But there's definitely pleasing things to be seen around here.

[ehehe, hehehe. M E N]

Don't worry. You'll probably be happier to have her around than me. Her name is Lottie Person. She's got green hair and huge boobs.

[pyojeol]

??? like what

[don't just chuckle and say MEN to yourself???

Sooyoung squints at the second part -- actually she squints at the first too, both for different reasons.]

happy is kind of a stretch
she could be bald with a flat chest and named lottie somebody and i'd be just as fine with having her around

[janescayre]

[well she's not gonna say it TO Sooyoung, you can find out she's thirsty the natural way]

Well I wouldn't go naming a building after anyone but you have to admit, they seem to have allowed a very select population to exist here.

[As in, everyone is hot. Except for her. She is the only unhot one. She suffers daily for it.]

Don't be obtuse! She's just way better with people than I am! And everyone loves having pretty girls around! Whereas someone like me standing too close to the entrance will drive down your property value.

Though I wonder what she would look like bald.

[Probably still a dime. Damn her.]

Toko... can I ask a favour? Are you anywhere near my apartment at the moment?

（ yes, she graduated to first name usage at some point in the last little while, it seems. ）

👀

[janescayre]

[An informality she must gird herself for every time. When Komaru first tried she took 98% psychic damage and begged her to stop.]

I think so? Why?

[craters]

Want an impromptu medical lesson?

[janescayre]

This is incredibly ominous?

What did you do?

[brb hustling on over IMMEDIATELY]

[craters]

Sparring match. I need to stitch something up. It's not serious.

I'm still about ten minutes away. Meet you there?

[janescayre]

It's colder than the Ice Age already and you're just going out to fight people?

You're such a pain in the neck. I seriously doubt that I can handle stitches but I'm practically here already. If I vomit on you, you only have yourself to blame.

[craters]

If you vomit on me you can get experience cleaning biological matter out of a wound!

[janescayre]

Your optimism will be the end of you someday.

Okay I'm at the door.

[standing around in seven layers, looking like the Michelin Man. Only the glasses set in the tight-tied hood provide a glimpse of the grumpus within.]

[craters]

There's a key under the red plant.

Just open the door very slowly and step over the tripwire.

（ ... what? she doesn't want her standing out in the cold. ）

[janescayre]

What happens if I step on the trip wire?

[craters]

You get tied up.

[janescayre]

Well I guess that's better than setting off another bomb.

[fetching that key, slowly, this parka be thick]

[craters]

'Another' bomb? Is there something I should know about that?
