[botamochi]

nice. let's exchange then.

[ He'll send a ss of his as an attachment. ]

uhm... white ones? i guess. or silver. it's for a friend. i don't want them to be too tacky, though. a good size.

[mincingminuet]

[And she'll send him one too.]

Here you go.

And yeah sure! I have some white ones from an old Halloween costume. They were Vaan's, and I sort of inherited all his costume stuff so...they're yours if you want em.

What's your task?

[botamochi]

i can't just accept all of that. i'm sure you can probably sell it for more, but i'll definitely borrow the ears. thanks!

we're talking about the middle square, right? i have to dress up as a mascot for my family's restaurant (this all suddenly makes sense doesn't it). what about you?

also, it looks like we can buy something for Jim.

[ can you feel the grimace through text. ]

[mincingminuet]

My middle square is organizing a game of hide and seek, so I'll have to pick up other people. I was going to drag my new girlfriend into it, and a couple of people who were at my place the other day in for that.

But we could absolutely pick something up for Jim.

And fwiw, I think you'll be a good mascot?

[botamochi]

oh. that actually doesn't sound too bad? the mascot thing kind of... feels humiliating, but that's cause i'm not good around big crowds. thanks for the encouragement, anyway. what i need right now is the mental fortitude to survive.

let's also write him a nice letter in the same fashion he posts onto the network. it'll be clever. when would you be free to do this?

[mincingminuet]

Believe in me who believes in you who believes in me. You can do it. :3 Think of it as practice for the Con.

And I'd be free...mmm, maybe next weekend? Is that okay?

[botamochi]

nice reference... i've never been to a con, but i'll pretend i have. let us pierce the heavens and stuff.

yeah, that's fine. that's perfect, actually. i'll give you a heads up when i'm free next weekend.

[mincingminuet]

Yeah.

Just hit me up. C-Ya then.

[botamochi]

[ HITS UP NOW... But it's okay. At the Towers, Takumi and Penelope are looking through Jim's registry. Raising his eyebrows, he definitely wasn't expecting any of this. ]

There is... an interesting variety. Does this guy really think he'll marry Janet?

[mincingminuet]

[Penelope shrugs when she's scrolling on through.]

I guess? I mean, look at some of these things though. Half of them are gag gifts.

[botamochi]

You're right... Some of these are plain awful.

[ Like soap that looks like dung? Scrotum cups... And the standard whoopee cushion. There's even more, really. ]

Would it be more of a dis to send him an actual wedding gift seeing that she doesn't seem into him or a gag gift, Penelope?

[mincingminuet]

I think we should send him a gag gift. That way when she rejects him...well, he'll at least get a laugh.

[She grins, pointing to something called -Glitternuke-]

Why not this?

[botamochi]

I can't tell if I'm amazed or concerned by your consideration of his feelings.

[ But assuming he's getting rejected is also harsh? Jim can't seem to win. Huh... Takumi looks at the ~Glitternuke~ in confusion.

Not well versed in gag gifts is he. PICKING IT UP. ]

Does this just explode into glitter?

[mincingminuet]

I don't like him. But you know, it'd be shitty of me not to try and lighten him up a little. I am an entertainer, after all.

[Pen, you make youtube videos. Either way, she just doesn't care what happens with the relationship. Given that Janet isn't into him though, it means she's probably going to reject him.]

And hell yeah it does. It's on a timer. It'll go off 5 minutes after it's opened.

[botamochi]

Right.

[ Youtube celebrities are also entertainers!! He isn't going to deny it since he believes it wholeheartedly (he likes watching youtubes.... late at night). ]

Here I thought glitter in envelope was bad—this is actually evil. Glitter is so difficult to clean up.

[ ... ]

I take back what I said about your consideration.

[mincingminuet]

Oh yeah?

[She grins at him, rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet, trying to look innocent.]

I had no idea it was so difficult. But then, my roomba swarm takes care of most things...

[She is a liar and a brigand.]

[botamochi]

Uh-huh...

[ He only smiles back at her and gives her that. He'll go ahead and pick up the glitternuke then. It's time to make their purchase. ]

That must be some convenient roomba. You should send me a link to it.

[mincingminuet]

Well, it's actually four? I uh. The company sent me some to demo and review. And never asked for them back, so...I have a fleet.

[Which is a thing.]

But I can link you to them, for sure.
