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!]

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

Ain't that the mood.

[nudging him, though.]

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

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

Ya better.

[wreck that idiot shepherd.]

[ 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.

[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.

[ 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.

[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?

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. ]

[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.

[ 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.

Charon's a fuckin' asshole.

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

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

You gonna beat him up?

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

That's fair. Better to act as if nothing happened.

Yeah, think that and being helpful'll spook 'im more.

Good luck.

I'm testing if Weeds can shadow travel between mist beasts. Soon.

That sounds like the worst idea ever.

You're saying that after being here for twenty two days.

So far.

[in the tones of "there. happy?"]

Never know when it could be useful.

...

If I die, use Sheep Fiend. I don't want more sheep wandering around cosplaying me. People will ask questions.

You're such a pain.

[it's not a no.]

Thanks, I try my best.

Yeah, ya do, which is why ya won't die and need that.

. . .

[ just bites his lip, trying not to laugh ]

Yeah.

[you gonna make him a liar, Blood Fiend?]
