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. )

No! People just assume it!

[ He isn't a cannibal!!! ]

[goei]

[Funnier in the wake of the werewolf reveal.]

Weird thing to assume. But I guess people jump to all sorts of conclusions when it's people they don't like.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Super funny. ]

...yeah, they really do.

[goei]

How come it's the end of the world where you're at, anyway?

[fullmoonmutt]

Eh?

[ Oh, phew. Topic change. ]

Like... fifteen or so years ago, Earth got invaded by a shit ton of demons. If a country ain't entirely wrecked, then it's overrun, so, end of the world. We're clawing our way back, though.

[goei]

Jeez. Sounds like somethin' that'd happen in one of the Lostbelts.

[Looking Eli over.]

Explains why yer so goddamn resilient I guess.

[fullmoonmutt]

Of course. You got to be tough as hell to survive what I've survived!

[ also he's a freakin' werewolf but look izou learns that later ]

The fuck is a Lostbelts, though?

[goei]

S'like... A timeline that's gone so far off the rails from the main one that normally Alaya'd prune it, but because of the idiots who're current causin' us problems, they ain't. So we gotta go and do it ourselves.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Prune it... prune it... prune... it... ]

Wh... hey, don't prune my timeline if I'm in one of those!

[goei]

What year was it when everything went to shit in yours?

[fullmoonmutt]

Uhh... wait, let me think...

[ And do some counting on his fingers, mouthing numbers to himself. ]

...if it was that long ago, then... 2018.

[goei]

... What the hell year is it now fer you if that's a long time ago? It was 2022 where I was.

[fullmoonmutt]

2037.

[ ...Eli's from the future. Just. Just not Izou's future. ]

[goei]

Yer probably fine then. The one's we're dealin with have gone way off the rails fer way longer than a few decades! The one that was the least fucked up had been in a worldwide super blizzard fer like 400 years.

[fullmoonmutt]

A blizzard for 400 years?! Wh... what?! For real?! What was that like?!

[ Suddenly excited to hear about these other worlds. So long as his isn't on the chopping block, hey, why not? ]

[goei]

Dunno, I got summoned right after they got back, so I just know what Fujimaru told me. Apparently it was like sub zero temperatures and everyone had been turned into wolf people to survive?

[fullmoonmutt]

A whole world of... wolf people? You're serious?

[goei]

That's what she said. Except fer the guy in charge was a mammoth guy apparently?

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Blank stare. ]

A... what? Is that like a... mammary... so, like, a... a giant boob guy?

[goei]

[SNORTS.]

No, no, it's like an elephant apparently.

[fullmoonmutt]

Elephant?

[ Oh. Oh! ]

Huh, so one of those. You know, when I first saw one, I thought it was another demon? But nah, got told a bunch of them got loose from zoos and have gone wild or something. Kinda surprised they've survived at all.

[goei]

They don't just have elephants normally in Australia?

[Izou might

He might not have the right idea of where Australia is.]

[fullmoonmutt]

Nnno?

[goei]

Huh. Well guess you learn somethin' new every day!

[Do you.]
