Tana-baa-ta

[survivaltricks]

WHO: everyone!
WHERE: the pasture
WHEN: day 22, all day

[the morning of day 22 begins with a light drizzle, as has been typical for the past few days. but despite the damp weather, a playlist of music also echoes across the pasture, luring you towards the center!]

[there, you will find that someone has planted a large bamboo tree, which is surrounded by wooden tables that are covered with colorful slips of paper and pens. a colorful sign, decorated with random doodles of stars, clouds, suns, and other fun shapes, contains a set of instructions:]

WELCOME TO TANABATA!

WRITE A WISH ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND TIE IT TO THE BAMBOO TREE.

HAVE FUN!

[the music and the bamboo wishing tree are a great start to the festival, but other people have been hard at work to make this a day to remember, right?]

[it's time to celebrate Tana-baa-ta!]

((FEEL FREE TO MAKE YOUR OWN TOP LEVELS IN THIS POST AS WELL! I made a few to get things going, but you should all run wild and free and thread to your heart's content ♥))

[EXTREME LONG TERM GOALS: HAPPINESS NOT MAKING VASH CRY

looking skeptical on that point, but then just huffs because sure was immature. jesus fuck.]

Problem is how I should go about that. I know Lily's tired of my shit when it comes to shootin', and he'd be expecting it anyway. It'd just piss me off if he just gave me that "And so?" kinda look--fuckin' asshole...

... way Perci puts it, we don't even speak the same language, so talkin' ain't gonna cut it, either.

[plus like, he's pretty sure there is a lack in confidence in him on Charon's part but who knows, really]

Fuckin' bastard's a goddamn pain to get at.

[ IT WAS THE BIGGEST BITCH MOVE OF THE MILLENNIA ]

. . . I bet Perci would know how to wreck him.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

Probably but Perci's two days out from the shit he went through and just put his feelings for Charon out there for everyone to see.

[but also Wolfwood's natural inclination to do shit on his own vs that's the emotional support co-shepherd. froooowwns.]

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[featherduster]

That's true . . .

[ Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm ]


I guess you could hit him with something later, when he thinks the threat's passed.

Be super nice in the meantime, it'd freak him out.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

Was gonna ask if just actin' normal wouldn't just spook 'im more.

[vashwood sharing the braincell.]

... probably should talk to Perci anyway, though.

[making Perci sad is a No.]

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[featherduster]

[ There's only the one between them but by god are they good at sharing it ]

. . . About that whole chart thing, or something else?

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

The chart thing, yeah.

[just. rubbing at his forehead.]

I dunno how to even start with that on top of everythin' else...

[you felt all that during the mindmeld stuff, man. what the hell.]

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[featherduster]

Well, what are your honest feelings?

Just tell him. Regardless of what they are, if they're honest . . . I think he'd appreciate hearing it.

[ VASH SAYS, NOT PLANNING TO SAY SHIT ABOUT FUCK ]

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

[Vash earning the sidelong look of YOU BETTER NOT HURT PERCI'S FEELINGS, EITHER, IDIOT.]

Yeah, seems 'bout right for him.

[though now pausing and just. oof. so much going on.]

... if ya need a quiet place later, room's soundproof, remember? And Lily got some locks for our doors.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[featherduster]

[ Never saying shit about fuck has proven 100% effective at not hurting anyone's feelings, historically*


* He has never polled anyone involved on this, ever ]

. . . I think I'll take you up on that.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

[you fuckin' adorable idiot, a man died because he didn't know shit about fuck about your feelings about him BUT SURE?]

Open offer for whenever.

Try to have some fun fuckin' with the guy.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[featherduster]

[ jesus don't phrase it like that ]

We'll see if it even works.

I'll be pretty pissed if it doesn't.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

[good thing Wolfwood still thinks it was 90% his fault anyway]

Ain't that the mood.

[nudging him, though.]

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[featherduster]

[ Stepping back. He's going, he's going. ]

I'll give you a heads up when I'm on my way back.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

Ya better.

[wreck that idiot shepherd.]

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[catposting]

[ shortly after Minuet disappears from sight, Styx's tingling assassin senses might feel someone strolling down the stairs behind him. if he turns, Blood Fiend will wave.

idk how good Styx's senses are but the cat was quite notably not inside the building until like, twenty seconds ago ]

Wow, you guys sure made a mess.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

[his hand does actually go to his gun for a second there, but he doesn't draw it.]

... yeah, ya can put that on Charon's tab for lockin' us in.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[catposting]

[ snickers ]

Consider it done. Remind me not to ask either of you for lockpicking services.

[ pulls out his own revolver, tosses it in the air and catches it. this looks incredibly silly while wearing a yukata. ]

Cheating works, by the way.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

[huffs. of course it does.]

Good t'know.

Ya said ya know how to shoot that thing? And ya get the ammo that goes with to make the bullets?

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[catposting]

Yup.

[ pulls out a drawstring bag of ammo. some 9mm, some .22. idk how much, Red didn't specify. tosses the bag over, catch. ]

Red said no to making them hollow, so you'll have to do some extra tinkering. They're the sizes you asked for, though.

[ the revolver is a .22, if Styx can tell by looking. ]

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

[catching bag and then opening it to inspect because that's how he be.

annoyed grumble. fucking Red can't make his life a LITTLE easier.]

That'll work fine. Minuet knows how to fashion bullets, so I'll pester him about it later.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[catposting]

[ it's Red. he literally asked Blood Fiend to play Russian Roulette. ]

Sounds good to me.

...

Charon said to give it a couple of hours, but then the whole percussion audition happened, so. Here we are.

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

Charon's a fuckin' asshole.

[blunt but the heat is mostly embers now. ready to go up in flame again but.]

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[catposting]

I'm sure he'll enjoy cleaning up and replacing the broken furniture, at least.

You gonna beat him up?

Re: day 22 night (closed)

[ohlord]

Nah, he'll expect that and it'll just piss me off if he's just stoic throughout it.
