post palace hot pot party (week 7)

[townmusician]

[Yoon's Palace has faded away, but the fact the God of Conflict decided to show up and intervene again...

Well, that's! Not a good sign! To say the least! But there's nothing to be done about that right now, and Haruka isn't of the mind to really sit and wonder about divine conflicts and grandstanding and all of that, anyways. It's not his problem. The people who deal with that sort of thing on the regular can be in charge of all of that.

What he's in charge of (by virtue of being annoying) is... hot pot. Specifically rounding up everyone and dragging them out to a hot pot restaurant in the city.

He'll miss having money but... he'll just have to work hard to earn it back... Have fun, everyone. (Or maybe he can find a way to charge Mina for this?)]

Oh, well... I called off after people fought my Shadow a few days ago, and I figured I couldn't call off again.

[ such is the woes of a capitalist society. well, not that much different from the mountains in that sense. if soujuurou took a break one day, it only meant that work was piling up. ]

But it's alright, it's been quiet so far. You're my biggest group of people, and we're all closer, so I'm happy to serve you guys.

i'm sad i missed his shadow!!

You're so hardworking! I guess it would be hard to explain to your manager that we were out fighting shadows.

[ Especially fighting one's own shadow. She had heard of a commotion but to think Soujuurou had also been possessed like Yoon? Ai leans closer to look him in the eyes. ]

Hmm, nope, no yellow! [ She diagnoses him with a smile. ] Are you feeling 100% again?

she survived not having to potentially get her ass kicked by soujuurou 😭

[emptyself]

Ah--

[ soujuurou freezes as ai closes up on him, quite like a startled cat.

after she gives her diagnosis, he nods in dumb agreement. ]

O-oh. Huh. I never did see if my eyes turned yellow. [ ... ] Mm, I'm probably a bit weak at the arms and legs still. Not just from my fight, but from Yoon's as well. [ he SIGHS. ] These palace-things need to give us a break.

[ Ai pulls back and nods. She feels the exhaustion in her bones too. Stuffing herself with hot pot is helping to replenish her energy and she's riding the high of bringing Yoon back safe, but she'll probably crash once back at the dorms. ]

Get some good rest tonight! You deserve it! I feel like I could sleep for a week myself, but I should get back to my dance practice tomorrow...

[ The grind never ends. She's used to it though! ]
