Meet me at the bar.

[sengokus]

[easy enough! mineo will head over in that direction, looking a little tired but admittedly who wouldn't be tired in their soul after finding out that their friend is hallucinating santa and his goo bones (not really the last part)]

Hey. People are really just letting curses fly this week, huh.

[dotcom]

[ the goo bones are here

but takeru is already seated, since he was close by. ]

It could be for indulgences.

[sengokus]

What does Santa have to do with indulgences? Isn't Santa like, the anti-indulgence? That's what the lists are about, right?

[mineo barely understands santa lore but he'll go to sit with takeru. he's, uh, getting glasses of water for them first but then - ]

Sake?

[dotcom]

It's not really Santa.

[ he just wants to make that clear

but there's a nod ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he misunderstands - ]

There's... There's another big red guy who gives out cookies and toys? What is America even about?

[but he'll get two sake cups, putting one in front of takeru and just pouring for them both because he's younger and that's custom]

[dotcom]

No, you... buddy. [ UGH. ] I mean that we probably shouldn't focus on the fact that it was Santa in particular.

[ he is pretty sure it's just because santa was mentioned yesterday ]

[sengokus]

Buddy....

[weird.]

Oh. Yeah, I guess that's true. It just feels pretty weird and twisted... And Harrow-san of all people! She thought that someone might've targeted Molly as a strategy but now if she's distracted too, I wonder if she was onto something...

Just weird it's on Wednesday.

[dotcom]

I guess it depends on how long it'll last? Whatever Mollymauk and White have seems like it'll be a while, but if hers is only for a few hours or a day, then I don't see the point other than doing it for an indulgence, or to waste it, or just make a mess for no reason.

[sengokus]

What indulgence could be related to this...?

[but he just frowns a bit before he takes a sip of his sake, brow furrowing. also he doesn't know why he's doing this, he barely drinks but he feels so exhausted lately]

I wanted to talk to Harrow-san about something she did, but now I feel like I can't because the timing's too rough....

[a beat]

I was also mostly joking about relationship drama, but in case I'm not....

[dotcom]

[ there are two topics to approach, so he'll go for the first one for now. ]

What were you going to ask?

[sengokus]

[funny thing

it's the same topic

he stares at takeru]

Why she threw me under the bus with Molly so badly.

[dotcom]

[ it is not hitting him quite yet ]

What did she do...?

[sengokus]

.... she was just trying to help....

[so he's not mad]

.... but apparently to try to keep White and Molly apart from each other, she told Molly that they should be considerate of PDA because I have feelings for White.

[and he's just going to

knock back the rest of what's in his sake cup]

[dotcom]

Ah.

[ he takes a sip of his drink, because his first thought of what to say is kind of assholeish so he fills the silence by drinking. ]

So now Mollymauk is mad at you?

[sengokus]

He reacted jealously enough at your meeting, you know?

[mineo is actually decently in tune with people's romantic endeavors just because he's so into the thought of them. it wasn't hard for him to figure out why molly suddenly wanted to make out with white.]

I figure it's probably just gotten worse. I'm preparing for emergencies.

[dotcom]

I really was not paying attention to any of that.

[ he literally only interjected when masturbating came up because it drew the line for him. ]

Just say you're into someone else.

[sengokus]

Yeah, you were busy.

[mineo doesn't blame takeru but also he looks a little confused]

That's a lie, though. I'm not really into anyone enough to lay claim like that... And I can't really untangle Harrow-san's lie yet. It's easier for everyone if they're separated anyway.

[dotcom]

You got over Endorsi that quickly?

[ wow. he sips his drink and then rests his chin against his hand. ]

Well, you'll just have to wait for it to wear off then. Good luck.

[sengokus]

[he looks thoughtful at that]

I mean, she's still really great but - Endorsi needs to win and I do, too. She won't give up going home to come with me and I won't give it up for her either.

[it's pretty bittersweet and he'll just sip at his sake again. at least he's used to heartache and rejection.]

If you say you're into someone, wouldn't you want to be more sincere about it? Like - more all in?

[dotcom]

[ ... ]

Well, there's the opposite side of that. If you like someone, and you're going to be separated eventually... some people might want to spend as much time together as they can.

[ he snorts. ]

But you should do what you want. Maybe offer Mollymauk a threesome?

[sengokus]

[he chokes on his next sip of sake]

[dotcom]

It would probably solve a few problems.

[sengokus]

[he has to scramble for his water but after coughing a bit]

Like what?!

[dotcom]

He may be slightly less mad at you.

[ he doesn't know if this will be actually true or not he mostly just wanted to steer away from what he was saying before ]
