post palace takeout! [week 5]

[beathollow]

( at some point a bedraggled lot in yukatas manage to make their way to the dorm, shower and patch themselves up. and then mafuyu makes a very earnest request that they all go out for dinner, and, well, apparently many struggle to refuse her.

this is how they find themselves in something akin to a denny's or an ihop at like, midnight.




as one does. )

extremely understandable

[goei]

[Izou grins. His suit!!! he is proud of it.]

Looks cool, right? I got it back in Chaldea during one of of our missions! Came here with me fer some reason.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ It's a great suit, and Eli should compliment it. Logically, he knows this. That is definitely how friends treat each other.

And yet... ]

It makes you look like you're about to hustle people. That's shady.

[goei]

Hustle? Nah, this is the outfit of a guy who's about ta win big fair and square!!

[It's not. You are terrible at gambling and you know it, Izou.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ what ]

Have you ever won big fair and square?

1/2

[goei]

[...]

2/2

[goei]

Anyway I was thinkin' of orderin' some of these "buffalo wings."

[He changed the subject.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Hey?! What was that subject change?! ]

That's not...?! [ wait ] Buffalo wings? Since when the fuck do those have wings?

[goei]

[Luckily Eli is also stupid. Distraction achieved.]

They don't? I dunno what a buffalo even is. Figured they must be some sorta bird?

[fullmoonmutt]

No? It's like a... uh. Big, shaggy cow?

[ They're both idiots, this is fine. ]

[goei]

What're buffalo wings then?

[Someone help them.]

[fullmoonmutt]

I mean, best way to find out is to order them, right?

[goei]

Yeah!

[They are going to die. But they have been ordered.]

Y'know, when yer not pissin' me off you and me ain't so different, I think.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ They will die so hard but will keep eating the wings anyway because they like to think they're BIG and TOUGH. ]

Right? Maybe that's why we keep pissing each other off.

[goei]

Hah! Probably. That's why I was harpin' on yer plan ta try and run at the goddess. Bein' too reckless is what got me caught.

[fullmoonmutt]

Is that what did it...?

[ Sounds right, tbh. ]

Yeah, yeah, it was a dumb idea, fine. I still want to talk to her, though. Ask about these mind... heart... puzzle things... and other stuff.

[goei]

Yeah. I thought I could just do whatever an' Takechi sensei would bail me out.

[And then. He finally just decided he was tired of doing that, apparently.]

But yer right. We gotta get her ta come talk to us. So I guess we gotta do arts 'n crafts again.

[fullmoonmutt]

It just has to be proof of a bond, yeah? Can't we just take a picture of all of us here together, having a meal?

[ Isn't that proof?! ]

For what it's worth, I would have bailed you out... if I'd been there, anyway.

[goei]

[He snorts]

I'm sure you woulda tried.
[But genuinely, he appreciates the sentiment.]

Hm. Probably? I dunno how ta take photos though.

[fullmoonmutt]

Uhhh, I think the phone as a... thing on it.

[ He's getting out and staring blankly at it. One minute. Just give him... one... or two... ]

I open it and there's a. It's. There! See? The little camera icon?

[goei]

Camera... Never got my picture taken when I was alive. Guess there's a first fer everything. So you just tap it?

[fullmoonmutt]

Pretty sure, yeah. See the dot at the bottom?

[ Now that the camera app is open, anyway. He turns in his seat and leans on the table further than one normally would to make sure he's in the shot before holding it up high and angling it to get everyone at the table. ]

Hey! Everyone! Look here and say... [ Cheese? No, of course not. Okada Izou is a geezer!

[goei]

Oi! Don't tell 'em ta say that!

[YOU FIEND!!!]

[cirquedesang]

[See, y'all are worried about Celeste getting breakfast, then you do shit suffering for pride and buffalo wings.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ celeste gonna feast his eyes on all the suffering emotions and expressions instead, aaay ]

[cirquedesang]

[HE SURE IS. Food for the soul, baybee]
