Haha, wouldn't that be something? All that bluster and boasting, all to disintegrate in a flash!

[Though of course, he knows that isn't what they'll get... He'll nod at the thanks though, smiling.]

Any time. Long days like these could really use a little- [Vague gesture!!] -...something to make it feel like it was less long?

[uncurtained]

[She's about to make a joke about having known dozens of guys like that

but maybe now isn't the time.]

Yeah. But let's both make sure we aren't hungover for tomorrow.

[givethemhell]

[b e c k]

The best way to not get a hangover is to keep drinking through the night and into the morning, you know!

[It's

hard to tell that he's joking.

He is, but boy is it hard to tell.]

[uncurtained]

[After she (thinks) she's successfully deciphered that... She holds the bottle back to him, smiling slightly.]

Cheers to that, man.

[givethemhell]

[He just holds an imaginary cup in his hand and toasts in her direction.]

To a good drink and not a hangover in sight!

[Tomorrow will bring its own slew of, y'know. ...Everything. But at least they can take a bit of a breather out here and now, if nothing else.]

[uncurtained]

You know, if you wanted me to, I could bring some actual cups. Not that I really mind this...

[She’s actually surprised how much she doesn’t mind going straight from the bottle. The more you know!!]

[givethemhell]

[Cups are well and good BUT CONSIDER! DRINKING FROM THE BOTTLE!! He waves a hand dismissively, shaking his head.]

No, no - the bottle is fine. The bottle alone! It's a much better way to bond with your drinking buddies. Having to share a bottle amongst everyone really solidifies friendships, you know?

[The more people there are, the more cursed better it becomes!]

[uncurtained]

Something about sharing germs builds rapport, huh? I can see it.

[givethemhell]

Exactly that! If you can share your drinks and your colds, you're sure to be fast friends for life. I've made plenty of great friends that way!

[Sharing drinks and colds??? It's fine they're all doing their best.]

[uncurtained]

Well, I'll know who to go to the next time I have a flu, then.

[givethemhell]

Yes, yes! You can count on me! I know the perfect soup for the occasion.

[DON'T PLAN FOR FLUS LIKE IT'S A BONDING EXPERIENCE.]

[uncurtained]

[At that, she outright laughs.]

I'll have to put it in my calendar.

[givethemhell]

Make sure you don't forget! I'll clear mine entirely just for the occasion.

[Tragically untrue as his calendar is instead crammed full of Try To Catch That Demon dates.]

[uncurtained]

Good. Now we're all booked, no getting out of it.

[givethemhell]

[A little laugh. God is he glad his roommate is no longer fuckin horrified by his presence!]

Consider it a promise! I'll be sure to bring snacks, too.

[Snacks to go with the soup for their flu...]

[uncurtained]

[As she takes another drink, she pats the space next to her, as if to indicate he can sit down if he wants to.]

Well, now you have to share. What's on the menu for our flu party?

[givethemhell]

[He'll oblige, pushing himself up from his seat in The Gremlin Corner to come join her up there.]

Let's see, let's see. Some of those cookies and chips, of course - easy to grab, quick to eat. Peanuts from the bar! I'll see if I can get Taako to make us more of those little sandwich things... Ah! And watermelon, of course.

[The sect grows stronger every day...]

[uncurtained]

[The smile grows a little bit curious, before she asks:]

Okay, I have to know. What's up with the watermelon thing? Like, how did it start?

[givethemhell]

[He basically fuckin cackles because he thinks this shit is truly hilarious...]

Good question! You see, Grune and I decided to wear matching clothing one day- [That they stole from Higekiri.] -and it reminded me of a cultivation sect. You have to have a little more than matching outfits though, don't you? So we picked something we both had in common!

[A love of watermelon. Cursed.]

We've also decided to open a watermelon farm.

[uncurtained]

So you're the watermelon sect now. I like it.

[She doesn't laugh quite as loud, but she does smile.]

Good choice. Easily the best melon.

[givethemhell]

Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Not a single other sect could best us!

[He is literally living out the nightmares of so many cultivators right now...]

Ah, but it's good to know you have fine taste, too. Did you join? Did you? I hope you did!

[uncurtained]

[Lightly, almost teasing:]

Well, I hadn't heard of it before today... Let's say I'm considering it. Give me your best membership pitch.

[givethemhell]

My best membership speech...? Absolutely! You'll be the first one I've given a speech to, since Grune handled everything else!

[Somehow, her recruitment tactics were like. Horrifically effective.

He shifts where he sits to face her a little better, arms and hands moving animatedly as he talks, as usual.]

How's this! If you join, you'll have access to our best feature - group melon eating! It's exactly as it sounds. You get to eat melons, but with friends! That way you don't have to round everyone up on your own if you want to start a seed-spitting contest. Food always tastes better with more people, too! And you'll have a spot on our farm, once we actually have a farm. It'll be big and lovely! We'll fit all the melons we could ever eat there! We can harvest the sweetest ones for dessert every night and roll the fattest one down a hillside for fun.

[uncurtained]

You're going to roll the biggest one down a hill? Well, that's just poor business management. Offer declined, no watermelons for me.

[She can't quite make it through without laughing.]

[givethemhell]

[He just GASPS IN MOCK HORROR, placing a hand against his chest like he's about to have a damn heart attack.]

No...! It can't be—! The first rejection and it goes directly to me! I'll never be able to face Grune again. I'm going into seclusion right now.

[As he just

proceeds to not move, except to fish a bag of chips out from one of the couch cushions. At least it's unopened.]
