W0 - SATURDAY

[headmt]

[Oh. Hey Mineo. Whatcha up to.]

So. Ramen. What is it? You said this was your favorite?

[sengokus]

[his hand's hovering over the pudding option on the vending machine like he's got it all queue'd up and ready to go

but at the sound of someone talking to him he whIRLS AROUND LIKE HE WAS CAUGHT READ HANDED AND COVERS UP THE SCREEN LIKE HE'S HIDING SOMETHING MUCH WORSE]

R-R-Ramen! Yeah! Love ramen!

[headmt]

[Okay sorry but

the instant that Mineo reacts like this Molly's extreme gremlin energy kicks and he immediately has to know what's happening. Really fucking awful. Just

Immediately trying to shove his way under an arm to see what it is.]

You have something good?

[sengokus]

[don't apologize this is literally what he deserves

but it seems like what he has on the screen is

literally just an order of a high-end off-brand japanese pudding. like this is some really big secret.]

I-I-I'm just picking this up for Takeru!

[yea ok]

[headmt]

Oh, this is boring. Why would you make it seem so exciting?

[He'll poke at the screen though, because . . . he learned to do something.



Which is add spicy to anything.]

[sengokus]

[oh

he just seems like he's been attacked]

Y-Yeah... Boring... Who even likes this stuff...

[but

wow spicy pudding that's. a choice.]

[headmt]

[It's what you're getting now, because he's already pressed the button.]

Why are acting so embarrassed . . . ?

[ . . . ]

Were you going to do something disgusting to it?

[sengokus]

[mineo watches his special edition spicy pudding get deposited from the vending machine and just

flusters worse, which is stupid]

Disgust - no!!

It's just - [please just admit you like pudding] - ahh, nevermind!

[he rips it open and takes a spoonful of spicy pudding

like a total buffoon]

[headmt]

I've got to say, I've really no idea what is happening with you right now, but it's really making this much less boring.

[Just? Watching him do this?]

[sengokus]

[he's just being a disaster

but also wow

that's spicy. he regrets this immediately even as he's definitely turning red]

H-How much spice did you put...?! Why did you do this? Why did I do this?!

[headmt]

Sorry . . . ? I didn't know you'd just put anything in your mouth.

[He doesn't seem that sorry? Holding his hands for the spicy pudding. He wants to try it too now?]

[sengokus]

[he hands it over and then goes to casually (not at all casually) get some water..... he's coughing...]

My body moved before my brain could react....

[this is true for so many things he does]

[headmt]

[He eats some! Just to be fair.]

You're right, this one really is terrible!

[sengokus]

Ahhh, it's so hot - and something like that shouldn't be mixed with the sweetness and decadence of pudding...!

[but he'll offer molly some water anyway]

.... you take spice a lot better than I do, though...

[impressive....]

[headmt]

Maybe I do taste things differently!

[Or he's not having a mental breakdown about loving pudding at the same time. He will take the water though, offering it in a sort of cheers! Motion before downing it.]

Alright, what next?

[sengokus]

Oh... you wanted ramen, right?

[at least he's slowly recovering]

It's like - a soup with noodles! And a bunch of other stuff, but I can add that in. Fresh veggies, none of the weird rotting bits in the fridge.

And then you owe me a story!

[headmt]

Please nothing rotting. I’m not wasting a day puking my guts up here, it does really put a damper on things.

[Going to just sit and wait to be served then?]

And you’re right. Is the story up to me, or do you have a theme that you’d enjoy?

[sengokus]

[molly can go ahead and chill out while mineo tries to slice up scallions with a butter knife - the slices aren't pretty but he's at least strong enough to get the job done]

Hmmm, do you have a Greatest Hits collection?

[headmt]

[If he hadn’t given away his knife, he’d let him borrow it. As it is . . . have fun with the butter knife bud. Sorry.]

Actually, I have a bit of a game if you’re interested.

[sengokus]

[omi please share the community knife - but at least mineo has at least been doing this enough he's not super complaining about the butter knife]

Huh? Oh, sure!

What're the rules?

[don't just agree without knowing what you're agreeing to hello]

[headmt]

I’ll put down three cards, each one related to a story I have, and then you pick the card.

[Don’t worry it’s not a terrible game. Just a little funsies.]

[sengokus]

Sounds good to me.

Are cards part of your hobbies too? Like fortune telling?

[headmt]

Just something that’s easy to carry around.

Here’s the thing - two of the stories are going to be a lie, and one is going to be true.

[sengokus]

Aw man, come on! I don't have a history of good luck!

[he's just whining, ignore him]

[headmt]

You’re just whining. It’ll be fun. Besides, I could have just lied without telling you I was lying. Now you have a chance for something to be truthful! Personally, I think this is much more interesting.
