moving this over so we stop spamming shana

[babbylon]

(( From here. ))

And? Have you not missed me dearly during that time apart? Please don't "pretend" in that way, dragon, it's unbecoming.

yaas Shana needs good spam not dumpster

[wardance]

[ .............. ]

Ok-ey. Yeah, I had it really bad for you and just could hardly stand it since then. [ if he wasn't flat-sounding before, h is now and it just keeps somehow flattening further and further. ] It's been true torture.

[ something something really disgusting words, whatever. There's nothing to argue with when the guy you're talking to is making up all the rules. ]

[babbylon]

Cute.

[Masamune, your purposeful inflection is seriously failing you here. Stop.]

So you're a man who favors swords, hm? Is that right?

[wardance]

[ damnit. ]

Yeah.

[ sudden topic change is causing a bit of uncertainty here now but he doesn't hesitate to answer, at least. ]

[babbylon]

[And then, just like that, with a flourish of his hand, Gilgamesh produces all six of Masamune's signature swords. They are not quite identical to his own, but so similar in shape and size it could not possibly be a coincidence. He's showing off, making a point here: look what I can do, look what I know about you.]

How are these, then? Adequate, I presume?

[sealeted]

Masamune-san?

[Hakuno sounds to be in pretty high spirits.]

Recently, I gained the ability to summon up more types of food—and way better bento boxes, too. Did you want to meet up and try some together? I can whip up some sake too.

[wardance]

[ her high spirits are contagious although he seems to be relatively fine for the most part. In truth, he's lacking a focus of enthusiasm that would normally be there, but not out of being down so much as if exhausted. ]

Ho, really? Better? Sounds have to believe but count me in.

Where do you want me to meet you? Your shop?

[sealeted]

That works for me. We can have a nice meal up in my apartment.

[She pauses, then continues on a bit softer.]

Did I call at a bad time? You sound a bit... worn out.

[wardance]

Hmm? Ah, nah, it's probably just the heat. I really ... hate this kind of weather.

[ although this is true, he seemed okay when they first met comparatively. ]

I guess I might not be sleeping well, too, but... it's no big deal. Anyway, anyway, I'll be there soon!

[ he doesn't really want to be alone, and if she thinks she's bothering him, she could cancel the invitation feeling she is putting him out. So best to hurry before she gets too much time to consider it. ]

[sealeted]

Oh, I have something else that might help with that! It's a surprise for after we finish eating.

[She means the shaved ice she's figured out how to generate, but his sleep issues... she's suddenly struck by an idea that might help him.]

Alright, I'll be waiting. I closed a little early today, so just ignore the sign and come on in when you get here.

[babbylon]

[A portal appears beside Masamune's head, indicating an incoming "call", but it doesn't quite complete. Instead, it's the rough equivalent of a knock, asking permission to come in before actually doing so. The person on the other end is either being particularly cautious or thoughtfully polite.

Either way, it will wait as long as it needs to for an answer.]

audio;

[wardance]

[ well this is a first!!

Masamune blinks, looking at it before trying to glance around it and see... what is it doing?? Is it actually knocking, how does it knock? How does he answer? Is it going to open like a door and someone can walk through?? Geez, it's so suspenseful! ]

... Uh... uhh... come ... in? [ what else is he supposed to say? Is there a better greeting... ]

[babbylon]

[...some things haven't changed, he notes. Given the go ahead, a familiar voice follows.]

Masamune Date.

[wardance]

[ #%>€£|_?'ksa ]

...Yes, it is me.

[babbylon]

I would speak with you.

[Masamune may note that while Gilgamesh sounds the same on the surface, his tone lacks a certain forcefulness that was present before. In its place, there's something like... not submission, but a willingness to bargain. Or, perhaps more shockingly still, a willingness to listen.

There may also be a slight anxiety present, but he's endeavoring to cover that up as much as he can.]

I understand you've certain grievances. And I would hear them, if such is your inclination to express.

video!!

[hoasen]

[HERE SHE COMES.

But first, she needs to secure a time with him.]

Masamune, are you free, today?

video!!

[wardance]

[ oh. My. God!!! What is she going to demand now? shouldnt she drag husband on some tree climbing adventure instead!? ]

....Unfortunately. [ He's not into straight direct lying so he would never to Viet :c tsuntsun ]

[hoasen]

[ H E H. And look sometimes he's busy too! And also he's given her strict instructions to make lots of friends. Kind of cheesy if you think about it.]

T-there's a rumour of something to be found in the swamp, I'm not sure if you would be interested. It could help you with your condition. [She means his slight corruption. Which isn't his fault so she thought it might actually work on him!]

[wardance]

Eh?? Is it something rumored to do with corruption?

[hoasen]

Yes, or at least, something different. But I thought that since you weren't seriously effected, if we could find some clues, perhaps there's a charm that could keep your corruption at bay?

[sealeted]

Masamune?

[Her voice is soft, but there's a reason she isn't doing this over video feed.]

There's something I need to talk to you about.

[wardance]

Hakuno-chan, something happen?

[sealeted]

Yeah. You... know how another Gilgamesh showed up? The one from the Moon Cell, who lived the memories that the one you first met received before everything got... bad.

[wardance]

Yeah?

[sealeted]

I formally reestablished our contract today. Have... have I ever told you about Command Seals before?
