nobody's in the mood for recording 6.9: the post-trial garden tea "party"

[tsunderine]

The flowers that bloomed at the end of the trial are ones that only seem to prove, continuously, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Of course, it's only natural that many of the people are full of mixed emotions - grief? sadness? anger? frustration? maybe something else completely different?

But it's there, along with the end of the week.

Miasma still continues to be around, of course - but make use of the fact that this might be the last time it'll be at a low level one before it shoots up again.


Well.

Life continues as usual, disregarding any feelings that any of the house's occupants might be feeling.

So what are you doing these next two days?

[Clearly!! This is how they get positive CR, i can feel it in my bones!!]

Asshole.

[Anyways, off they go for an adventure to the scullery?!]

...You know I'm taller than you, right? [He has a (slightly) longer stride!!]

[sageking]

[ He'll let out a scoff at the insult, but didn't bother responding to it for the moment.

And yes they're heading to the scullery!! ]

Yes, but if only but a hair.

With how close we are height-wise, however, it's meaningless. I'd always be able to outrun you any day.

[ If this was going to turn into a conversation that was basically one-upmanship he seemed to be entirely here for that, despite...helping. ]

[eyeforai]

[Well, it's a conversation about... something, at least.]

Oh yeah? At least I'm not the one sounding like a kid in elementary school.

[because his insults are surely more nuanced than that!!]

[sageking]

[ Yes, absolutely. A very conductive conversation between two mature adults.

Clearly something of substance and all that. ]

Oh? Do not bother flattering yourself.

You are the one who started this idiocy over our heights first. Naturally, this means you are the one who has exhibited the epitome of foolishness and childishness.

[eyeforai]

[Truly they exhibit the behaviors that all children should aspire to!!!]

I was stating a fact, it's a physics thing. My legs are longer, so that means I can take larger steps.

[he says, while not remembering if he ever took a physics course in his whole life]

[sageking]

[ Clearly. In one corner, we have a great king, and in another we have a great (???) detective. ]

...I may have been born at night, but not last night. You cannot hope to convince someone like myself that you made the statement without the intention of trying to one-up me. Of course, not that it matters, given the fact it's a useless endeavor to even bother with in the first place.

[eyeforai]

[A great detective when he isn't distracted by puns and porno mags, yes.

Also he could probably go for a better come back than this but no, we're going full petty here.]

Says the guy who doesn't know what a tsundere is.

[sageking]

[ And ghosts, amirite.

Anyway, as Gilgamesh and Date were coming up on the scullery room, there was still one of those smirks on his face. ]

It's only natural a king like myself would run into something unfamiliar eventually. Therefore, I could hardly count it as a point against my person.

Besides, I'm sure whatever it means is hardly a word of significance, and I'll learn it soon enough.

[ Fast forward next week to Gilgamesh idly wondering how long it would be before he put an end to Date. ]

[eyeforai]

[Ghosts are only some of the time, some of the time...!]

I'm sure you will. I just hope you don't end up regretting it.

[Well anyway, putting Date's impending death aside!! As they walk through the scullery doors, it's clear that there's a couple of empty carts that are ready for the taking, and Date beelines towards one of them.]

By the way, you never really explained why you were helping. Do you pity us that much?

[sageking]

[ He'll end up regretting it and not regretting it at the same time. It'd infuriate him if Date held his lack of knowledge over such a thing for too long...! ]

Do you believe a King such as myself would deign to pity mongrels? Don't make me laugh.

And beyond that, I've no need to explain such things to anyone.

[ He'll go to one of the empty carts as well, beginning to move one of them, content with not explaining why because he was just like that. ]

[eyeforai]

[Clearly he's gotta introduce him to more anime terms then!! It's a win-win situation(?)!]

You're saying it's not pity, and you're not gonna explain why. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were just doing this to be nice.

[But that can't be right, so like, he'll just get right on pushing this cart.]
