post palace takeout! [week 5]

( 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. )

What're buffalo wings then?

[Someone help them.]

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

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.

[ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[He snorts]

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

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

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?

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

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!

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

[YOU FIEND!!!]

[Ah, yes, good, the table selfie. He'll turn to face the camera and will actually...! Have mercy on Izou, wow!!

...Haha, just kidding.]

Geeeee~zer~

( she doesn't, but she does smile a little, trying not to laugh too much. )

[HE HOPES YOU DIE AND GO TO HELL!!!]

[STEP ONE: FAILED]

[ Oh this is all so very stupid... McGillis is not going to say anything, but he will smile. Is it in amusement at Izou being bullied? Is it a sign of a bond? Is it just because he's conditioned himself to be a pleasant-enough gentleman to represent his house? All of the above?

Who knows, but you're getting a good shot of him. ]

[ TOO LATE, PICTURE SNAPPED. Now Izou is eternally mad in it. ]

Aw, c'mon. You get honest pictures when you make 'em say something silly instead of the usual "say cheese" bullshit.

[ He'll readjust his phone a tiny bit. ]

But fine, smile for the camera, you big baby. I'll take another.

Why would ya say cheese... Don't make any goddamn sense.

[Still, he'll smile properly in this one. Though he's going to reach over and try to put Eli in a headlock in the process. Revenge.]

--!

[ He was going to say something about that comment, because he might be older... oh well. At least he looked at the camera! ]

[ ...A picture? He huffs in soft amusement. Eli is a menace, isn't he? ...Well, the man managed to get him into a brief trash fight. Still, something about this seems exciting. ]

I don't think I'll be saying something so rude.

[ Even so, he seems to laugh lightly at the phrase. But, he does know of the usual one. ]

...Cheese shall do just fine.

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

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

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