[i almost accidentally put this tag in the trash where it belongs before replying.]
You really think it was that great? Aww, thanks! I have something better, if you want.
[they take the hands reaching up to them, and float on down on top of them. they are surprisingly light? probably because they're floating, but whatever.]
Are you pretending to be tired just so you could see me? You are, aren't you?
Sure! [He always loves Better Things, unfortunately... He also seems pretty amused by how light they appear, floating like this. If he tries to move their hands, will they just drift along like a balloon?? He gives it a shot, because of course he does.]
Hah! Maybe, maybe. I did like talking to you, after all! [There's a teasing grin.] But I haven't been getting very good sleep lately, either.
[Like a little cloud puff...... He seems very entertained by this, and will gently swing them around overhead a bit.]
Yep! We're natural enemies. [NOW GOJOU IS A NATURAL ENEMY TOO.] Is it like that with you and your brother?
[Just government assigns Sloth as the Cain and Abel story...But he will let them pull their hands back and wait! Hoping for a megahammock or something.]
Oh, no. No, no, no. My brother and I are like two skeletons in a crypt! He doesn't visit often, and when he does, it's to scold me about my work. He's still my brother, though!
[they reach up into the dark recesses of the hood, and begin pulling out wads of... very soft, curly, cloud-looking hair? there's a lot of it. almost rapunzel like, and they just let it tumble down over both sides of mahito from above. cotton fluff hair!
the very bottom half of their face is visible, though, from the mouth to the chin. their skin is extremely white, like snow.]
THIS RAPUNZEL HAIR????? HELLO. WHAT DO THEY MEAN "NOW". WHAT IS HAPPENING. He's very confused, but he also seems chill with the idea of sleeping in someone else's hair, because of course he is. He reaches out to touch some of it!]
Wow... Was it not this long before or something? Or this fluffy?
[It is very fluffy, indeed! He'll loop back around to the skeleton crypt brother in a bit, but Pressing Matters First.]
[the hair is very soft and fluffy! it still feels a bit like hair, but also feels quite like feather down, or how clouds might feel when you see them painted. the curls pool in mahito's fingers and tickle his cheek.]
It's always been curly, but it wasn't this long! It's as long as my mom's! Um, my mother's.
[SOFT AND FLUFFY........ He rubs his cheek against it, once again enjoying something he absolutely should not be allowed to enjoy because Mahito just shouldn't be allowed nice things.]
Hah, why not just call her your mom? [WHAT A WEIRD CORRECTION this creature is very funny...
Anyway!! He will just hold his arms up toward them after a second, like he's inviting them down to join him on the floor, or maybe like he wants to be scooped up by a balloon instead. Who knows, he doesn't use his words.]
Will you tell me more about them? Your brother and mom. What are they like? Your brother sounds kind of strict, huh?
She thinks I'm too old to be calling her Mom! Especially at work.
[oh. a baby!!
they drops their arms down to...... gather mahito up? when they touch him, he starts floating as well, as far as being gathered in the arms and the cloud hair.]
Um, my brother is my twin! He's a deliveryman, you could say! Delivering people right on to me, and I check them off the list! He's pretty serious about his work! He's busy, so I haven't seen him in a while. He always scolds me about my job.
Thanks for humoring him even though he should not be humored! He has a great time floating around like some kinda demon hot air balloon, though he's also still having fun softly fussing with their cloud hair.]
She sounds like a manager, if she won't even let you call her mom on the job. [Which he says with a teasing laugh.
Then, shifting to something curious instead:]
You know, that makes you sound like a trafficker. [Curious but still a teasing shithead actually...] But I'm guessing that's not the case! Ah - and haven't you been here a while, like the rest? I hope they don't scold you too much when you get back there.
[it didn't tell me this was an edit so i thought dw just decided to give me two of these tags in the inbox.]
Oh, well... our business is trafficking! But probably not the way you think, I guess! When I get back, I might just be fired! That'd really be something!
[they will float up into the air with mahito, and turn over. so mahito can, like, rest on them or something while they continue to float in a curled position.]
[yeah i love sloth so much that i wanted to tag them twice
Mahito unfortunately does enjoy Sloth a lot, if only because this is a very fun ability?? Thing?? That they have. He will pillow himself quite comfortably against his floating comrade, but keep himself propped up enough to look at their mysterious shadowy face hood situation while talking.]
Hm... You don't sell people off when you're done checking your list? [Don't talk about these things so jovially.]
Hopefully you won't be! Maybe we can come speak to your mother for you, I'm sure she'd understand strange circumstances like this.
No, no! They definitely come to us all on their own! Well, some of them might not be ready, but no one can really help when they end up with us, you know!
I guess it isn't quite as illegal as trafficking!
[please don't talk about these things so damn jovially]
Well, Mom really doesn't have too much of a say in whether the master fires me, or not! Though I guess she could put in a good word, but... she doesn't talk to me very much anymore!
[NOT QUITE AS ILLEGAL?????? He's just laughing, god. This is terrible.]
You just sound like shady mafia grim reapers when you put it like that, you know.
[Just gently giving people cement shoes and placing them out to sea... whether they are ready to meet the fishes or not. Very funny, honestly. He loves this weird little backstory he's written for Sloth in his head.]
Oh... She doesn't? Why not? [And, with about the same amount of curiosity:] Who's the big boss, then?
Also what the fuck this sounds so weird. He's going to have to rewrite his backstory... Santa mafia, throwing people into ice holes instead of the sea. Yeah, perfect.]
Hmmm... What's the list all about, anyway? A check-in list? Why do they go see the king, anyway? What's he got to say about it? --And why is a king working at a place with a desk? Don't they usually have thrones and stuff?
Yeah! Wow, you got it! It's a check-in list! Um, Master is the king of his domain. So, like, they have to see him when they come in to figure out where they need to go! Um, if he had a throne, where is he going to put all of the paperwork?
They can go to the place to be punished, the place for glory, or, um, the place that just lets them roam around if they didn't meet the requirements for either of the other ones!
[closes my eyes x2 i wish mahito would be normal for 1 second
BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE'S NOT so of course this is very fascinating to him. He uses his elbows to prop himself up further, resting his chin against the bridge of his laced fingers.]
Ah, so it really is a reaper thing, huh? Is your brother some kind of shinigami, then? What is it that you'd be considered, if you check the list but don't bring people in?

Bad sleep? That's tough! Your roommate, huh? You guys get along ten times worse than me and my brother!
[carefully, they pull they hands back for a second.]

no subject
I just check people off the list and listen to them say their piece! That's my brother's job!
[this does not clarify anything.]
Oh--the King, of course! He is always working behind the desk at the front. I check people off the list, and then they go to see him!
[santa...?]

That's why he has a desk!
no subject
Anyway, he's just nodding along to all of this like it makes any sense. Does it?? Questionable. It's fine.]
I guess if he has a lot of paperwork to deal with, a throne would be kinda pointless... Where do people go after checking in, then?
no subject
Oh, it depends on what they did!
They can go to the place to be punished, the place for glory, or, um, the place that just lets them roam around if they didn't meet the requirements for either of the other ones!

[haha]
I'm just... the greeter! Um, a listman! Ohhhh! Records checker!
no subject
Hm. [JUST "HM".] How'd you end up here, then? Do you like this job better?
no subject
Oh, no, I like my job there! I sure hope I didn't get fired! I'm just hoping helping you guys will work out better this time! Haha!
no subject
If at first you don't succeed...? [HM, ONCE MORE. He tilts his head to the side, just a little, regarding what small amount of their face he can see.]
I don't know. If something doesn't work out the first time, trying again is fine! But it sounds like you guys have been here for a long time.
no subject
Oh...! Um...
