of knights, dogs, and yakitori

[beathollow]

( another week, another palace- and far be it from us to deny tradition. through bickering, wandering and other shenanigans, the group from argenti's palace will find themselves at an agreeable izakaya- not entirely meals, and they definitely have to make an argument for the younger teens, thank you izou, but the atmosphere is light and more importantly, this bad boy can fit so many customers at one group table. it was a hard battle- so now it's time to rest hard, too.

please consult here for menu ideas. this is not a dennihop. )

[ Look, he has very few career options back home, that's just life. He'll get over it. ]

My own...? What? Izou, I don't even know what the fuck that means.

[goei]

[No we will change Australia to suit Eli's needs.]

Like the Kinnou-tou. If the government ain't workin' fer you, change it.

[fullmoonmutt]

Oh, that. The whole Tosser Kinny-Toe thing from your palace.

[ Eli, Mafuyu warned you about this! ]

Ehh, I mean, we've barely been cobbling together actual leadership for a year now... I'm pretty sure an uprising would destroy what we do got. Right now it's just the military, and that military is just a bunch of groups that came together to form an official one, and...

[ Ughhh, how does he even describe it? ]

It's pretty messy, that's all. 'sides, I don't want to revolt against my own mom? She's a part of it...

[goei]

[ELI HE LITERALLY JUST SAID IT.]

To-Sa Kin-Nou-Tou!
[ENUNCIATING EVERY SYLLABLE CLEARLY.]

But if revolutions is outta the question I don't got any ideas.

[fullmoonmutt]

Yeah? That's what I said?

[ Okay, now Eli is just fucking with him on purpose. ]

Mm. It's hard since I don't got any ideas, either. I want to do something... but... It's almost like I'm not allowed to?

[goei]

Yeah. That's kinda how it was fer me an my brother.
[Including him now since Argenti's palace put him to the front of his mind.]

Like, fer me, I like swordfighting. I'm good at it and I enjoy it. I'd probably have joined even if I had other choices. But fer Kei... it was that or just waste away in the sticks til our parents kicked the bucket.

[fullmoonmutt]

You have a brother?

[ Fun historical facts with Okada Izou. ]

Huh... Did he not like fighting? Wanted to do something else?

[goei]

[That was the only historical fact, now Caitie makes stuff up.]

Mm, it's not that he didn't like it, hell, he wasn't even bad at it. Just he wasn't as good as me. Drove him up the wall.

Still, he was always way smarter than me. Hopefully he was able ta survive the revolution and settle down.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ If it were him, he'd go after whoever killed Izou, but... ]

Yeah. I hope so, too. Is Tosa far away from where it happened? Mafuyu mentioned it was a place...

[goei]

[Eli, Izou was executed by the government, who would you kill???]

Mm, Tosa's on the island of Shikoku and most of the fightin' was on the mainland in Kyoto and Edo. Course since we were involved, we were there too, but...

[WHO'S TO SAY...]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ He would kill the government???? Hello???? ]

So! Yeah, he was probably fine. I mean, couldn't you just look it up or ask a historian if you're some summoned spirit guy now?

[goei]

[THE WHOLE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT??? BUT YOU WON'T EVEN OVERTHROW YOURS!!!]

Maybe I could if we weren't stuck on a base in Antiarctica with the rest of the world destroyed right now.

[fullmoonmutt]

Oh... [ Right. ] Shit. I almost forgot it was that bad where you're at. They ain't got no historians at all up there? Then how do they make sure all the heroic spirits are comfortable?

[goei]

[Eli just not correcting Izou's mispronunciation of Antarctica is why they are best friends.]

Huh? If anyone's not comfortable they'll just go complain ta Fujimaru or Moonyear [Not his name] or Gordy and they'll make the changes.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Antiarctica sounded right to him, so, yeah, yeah. ]

Huh, guess that's true. Just whine at the support staff and hope they don't bite. I just figured they'd have someone who can tell ya all about the different spirits.

[goei]

[They're so dumb I love them]

Nah, they're kindas operatin' with a skeleton crew right now. Hell, half of the "staff" are other heroic spirits. Da Vinci and the Captain drive the ship on missions, and then there's Holmes always lurkin' around too.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Wait... ]

Holmes? Like Sherlock Holmes? [ By some miracle, he knows that guy but not Da Vinci. Society is truly doomed. ] Izou, that guy ain't real.

[goei]

[HELP!!!!]

Yeah, that guy. Obviously he's real, Eli, otherwise he couldn't be summoned from the throne.

[fullmoonmutt]

No? He's a book character?

[ Can heroic spirits not be real people?! ]

[goei]

He is??

[Yeah you have to be real to be summonable but fgo loves to make up a bunch of excuses like claiming in the fate/ universe said book characters were inspired by a real guy.]

[fullmoonmutt]

Yeah? From books written by, uh... some... Doiley guy or whatever.

[ Eli, pls. ]

[goei]

Well... I guess that Doiley guy must'ved based the books on the real guy?

[fullmoonmutt]

I don't... think so? I mean, I've never heard of him being based on some real guy, but... I dunno?

[goei]

[Izou shrugs because he doesn't know either!!! And pours more beer in Eli's cup.]

Guys annoying either way.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ izou literally going shut up and drink your illicit alcohol dear ]

Yeah? [ Eli is, of course, going to drink the aforementioned illicit alcohol. ] What's that?
