w0, saturday

[dms]

[ now that we have a shower i guess kazu is freshly washed and sitting by the fire in the mansion! it's still cold, his hair is still a little wet, and for some reason he is wearing a balloon hat. go figure!

he'll offer malik a wave! ]

Come for the shower, huh? Should've been a little quicker, fam! I think someone else hopped in already.

[godcards]

[ ohhh the shower envy is SO REAL ]

Hm, then I'll just have to wait. It's not as if there's anything else to do around here.

[dms]

Better to wait than not have any shower at all~. Might as well chill out here with me! You won't be bothered by any ghosts or things that go bump in the night here.

[godcards]

Are you saying that because you repel spirits?

[dms]

I wish! [ laughs! ] It's just quieter out here than most of the other areas, you know? Way easier to chillax.

[godcards]

Right... "chillax."

[ he kinda fumbles with the word, clearly never have said it before in his life. ]

Most of this place is quiet isn't it?

[dms]

Mmmm, sort of! It's the calmest place besides that alley, I think? There's no banging behind doors, or honking, or weird science projects watching you when you're not looking.

[godcards]

I suppose that's true. Although you seem friendly enough, like you'd appreciate the opposite of silence and stillness.

[dms]

Haha, thanks! I don't mind a bit of quiet sometimes, though. Sure, it's more fun when things are noisy and everyone's hanging out together, but there's nothing wrong with taking it easy once in a while, either.

[godcards]

I'm not quite as optimistic as you, but I can appreciate it while being stuck in this dreary place. You must have a lot of friends?

[dms]

Oh, totes, but only one of them is here with me. If you meet a kid with purple hair, that's Kumopi! He's a total cutie!

Sounds like you could use the break, though, huh? Must be pretty crazy for you back home.

[godcards]

Right... I'll remember that. [ maybe not the cutie part. ]

I was in the middle of some things. I would have liked to finish them before I took a break, but it's not really like I have a choice.

You don't seem to mind the break either, [ ... ] Ah, I didn't get your name?

[dms]

Hey, maybe it'll actually help it a little? You can go back with fresh eyes to finish what you were doing, and get some rest in the meantime!

Kazunari Miyoshi! I should have introduced myself first, huh? Sorry about that!

w2 wednesday

[dms]

[ somewhere in the void, we meet again! kazunari has confetti in his hair and looks pleased as punch. ]

Namu-Namu! Did you see? We won, like, ten times over! You must have caught a few of their flags, right?!

[godcards]

Hm? Oh, I must have missed that part. I'm not very athletic...

[ i mean just look at him ]

[dms]

Haha, neither am I! [ twink solidarity! ] But that's what we've got sneak attacks for, right? The party poppers from Party City do wonders.

[godcards]

Don't those make noise? That seems like the opposite of a "sneak attack"

[ he wasn't really present for capture the flag specifically because he's too much of a useless twink, but also because look. there's a limit to how much forced bonding he can tolerate. ]

Although the fact that you used a trick instead of trying to force your way through was quite clever.

[dms]

Hehe, thanksies~! They do make noise, but if it gives distracts them long enough for you take their flag, it's mission accomplished!

It does make you wonder how they come up with this stuff, though, doesn't it? Like, what was their first plan? Not that I mind learning more about everyone here, but I'm super curious!

I did think it's really cool how you know so much about Egyptian mythology and stuff, though! Where'd you even learn all that?

[godcards]

I'm Egyptian. [ surely this is an adequate enough explanation. ]

I think there is some force or entity that likes watching us interact... So we have to do games like that to appease it. Like... memes? Perhaps it likes memes.

[ a beat ]

Is "stan" a meme...?

[dms]

Oh, I see! Then it totally makes sense why you'd choose to teach about that!

[ death rituals aside... ]

Hmmm... I wouldn't say it's a meme? More like slang. A meme would be more like if the prism or whatever's running things here wanted to make us dab or something like that.

[godcards]

Memes are random words on images, aren't they? Kumon had some images on his slides so I thought that they were related.

[ look he's already struggling understanding the concept of memes THIS IS TOO MUCH ]

...What is "dab"?

[dms]

Depends on the meme! For the ones I showed earlier, it's usually something people can relate to and find funny, you know?

Oh, that one's easy. I can show you, if you want!

[godcards]

...Don't make me regret saying, 'yes, show me.'

[ HE IS

NOT SURE WHAT TO EXPECT ]

[dms]

[ he dabs ]

[godcards]

That's it?
