There's plenty of mortals who are always looking for something mo--WAH!
[the light isn't nearly as bright as it would be at midday, and it doesn't really hurt them. but sloth throws their arms up over their face and eyes anyway out of surprise.

hesitantly, they start bringing it down when they get a little more acclimated to it.]
[oh. mineo just glances over at that and just - laughs a little. it's easy for him to stop thinking about his own problems and focus on other people though.
that's what got him into this mess in the first place, but.
oh well.]
Heh! How about it? It's Katsurahama Beach - we're in my hometown...!
You doing okay? It's not too harsh on you or anything?
[but suddenly, one of the simulated birds take off. they stop dead in their tracks, then they (well, they're floating, but same thing) leap back, bump into mineo, and then hover behind with their hands on his shoulders.]
Uh... The things with feathers - they're like animals in the sky! They look like the seagull, but they come in different sizes and colors. Some of their beaks are crazy too, like they might poke your eye out!
no subject
Oh, you don't have to worry about them. They'll be just fine, too.
[hmm.
they reach into they robes a second. and then produce... a single bandaid. they hand it to mineo. :D]
no subject
fuck
he
he takes it. and honestly he's just losing it as he's laughing]
Thanks, Sloth-san!
[THAT WAS A GENUINE ATTEMPT. he'll reach up to pat them on the head again..... cute......]
no subject
No problem!
[they will accept the pats. be careful not to get stabbed by the horn.]
no subject
Oh yeah, you good with the robe and stuff? Do you have to wear it?
We're probably going to a place where it'd be hard to move around in...
no subject
...they are waiting and interested!]
Oh, um. We can take it off if we want! But... we look a lot different than usual! We kind of all agreed to this so we wouldn't scare the rest of you!
no subject
Oh... Are you normally not super feathery?
Can I see?
no subject
Right! Oh, um... I dunno. Do you really want to see me like that?
no subject
[easily]
So long as you're okay showing me, anyway. However you are is fine with me. I don't want you to feel nervous or anything.
no subject
[haha]
no subject
Ahh, that was such a tease!!
no subject
You are here for your own goals, right?
no subject
Yeah.
But just 'cause I've got my own goals doesn't mean I can just ignore the people around me.
Besides, Takeru's here. And his goals are my goals too, even if he doesn't feel the same way.
no subject
[takeru doesnt think they are friends]
What are you going to do if, um... only one of you manage to get what you want? Sure might bring up some bad feelings, huh...?
no subject
before looking back at sloth. he places his hand on the module that'll shift the room, bringing them to a beautiful beach at sunset.]
.... nah.
Back home... he was working hard the whole time. I'm surprised he's even here - I don't think he needs all your help as much as he thinks he does...
That guy's gonna win. No way he'll accept anything less.
Compared to me....
[ . . . ]
I'm just living off borrowed time, and I still might not be able to match up.

they have both hands up like a visor near the top of the hood, but they're looking around.]
It's, uh, bright! Whoa... Where I'm from doesn't look anything like this at all!
no subject
Yeah? Is it just like - dark? I'm gonna be honest, I've been imagining some kind of Underworld deal....
no subject
[they are already floating around like they're traversing the beach.]
I'm use to it. I grew up in a cave!
no subject
Huh.... Well - I'm not. This is Kochi. It's pretty nice, right? My sister and I used to play along here all the time.
no subject

ACK! What are those?!
no subject
You've never seen a seagull before? Yeah, those little shits stole my food all the time.
Or is it just birds in general that you're not used to?
no subject
[they are not coming out from behind mineo. they'll just, like, float along behind and stuff. no sir.]
What's a bird?
no subject
Uh... The things with feathers - they're like animals in the sky! They look like the seagull, but they come in different sizes and colors. Some of their beaks are crazy too, like they might poke your eye out!
no subject
I've never seen a bird in my life! Are there really so many? The mortal realm sure is something.
