WEEK 1 || ACT: MINGLE

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, and there's so much to explore.

But, there is also that ever-looming threat. Still, it doesn't seem like anyone here could do such a thing as summon something to eat this world....right?

Well. You still have time to figure it out.

...In fact, you'll have nothing but time.

[moonlightalter]

I don't really want to play this game anymore.

[Not after getting words like 'adultery' and 'divorce'.]

Let's play something else.

[dereban]

[Yeah, both of those words suck.

And she feels a little bad. Actually... is she allowed to grab him by the hand real quick?]

I'm fine with that. Do you have any ideas? Since you're suggesting it.

There is a game I could ask if you'd be okay with it, but... I don't know if you'd want to do it in front of everyone.

[moonlightalter]

Yeah?

[He does sound interested. His mind absolutely went in dirty places at first, but he drags his mind out of the gutter by reminding himself that Inaba wouldn't bring it up in public if it was dirty.]

What game are you thinking of? We can go somewhere else to do it too, if it's too embarrassing.

[dereban]

It's definitely embarrassing. Um - you brought snacks, right? I was thinking of using that... if we go. Elsewhere.

[Her voice is pitching and she is so glad the other monsters can't hear that emotion in her voice.]

[moonlightalter]

[Ah.]

You could have just said you wanted a snack. I left them in the room though, we'll need to go get them.

[dereban]

Then I guess we have no choice but to go back, huh.

[moonlightalter]

I guess so.

[Time for them to leave the party for a bit! La de da, back to the inn they go.]

So what game do you have in mind?

[dereban]

Well... I didn't know what kind of snacks you had, but I assume most of them were chocolate bars, so we can do a variation of the pocky game?

[moonlightalter]

[Wow, so rude to assume that.]

We'll have to see what I have left. A snickers bar would not be good for the pocky game.

[dereban]

Yeah, that might get a little nutty.

[moonlightalter]

[oh my god the puns]

Oh, you think you're funny, huh?

[dereban]

What, you don't like it, Atsushi?

[moonlightalter]

Hearing you make puns makes me want to retaliate.

[He's smiling as he says that. The retaliation would likely be more puns, or tickling.]

[dereban]

Oh nooooo, you're gonna retaliate, whatever shall I do?

[It's obvious that she's not being serious.]

[moonlightalter]

Scream, probably.

[Yeah he's.

Going to scoop her up in his arms now.]

[dereban]

Wha-

[She's not going to stop him but she's also going to make a rather surprised noise, too.]

H-hey!!

[moonlightalter]

Like I said.

[He'll just carry her all the way to the inn now.]

[dereban]

Are you okay with carrying me all the way--

[She still has nullification on, after all.

But she isn't going to say that aloud, here.]

[moonlightalter]

I wouldn't carry you all the way if it bothered me.

[Even without the tiger strength, he's strong enough to carry her. Though his arms do get tired by the time they get to the inn, and he'll set her down just outside the inn door.]

[dereban]

...

[Now she's embarrassed, thanks.]

Um. Thanks.

[moonlightalter]

What's with that look? Are you going shy on me?

[Atsushi isn't normally a flirty person, but he has his moments once in a while.]

[dereban]

I'm not going shy...

[There's a beat, before-]

Unless you want that?

[moonlightalter]

Inaba said she wanted to play the pocky game, so I would like to see an Inaba that's daring enough to play that game.

[dereban]

[A daring Inaba, he says, hm? Just give her a second before she smirks at him, licking her lips playfully and keeping herself close to him.

Almost enough that she's just inches away from touching him.]

I can do that.

After all... you already know I'm going to win.

[moonlightalter]

[Ah. There's the Inaba he likes to see.]

I do, but that doesn't make the trip there any less interesting.
