[ . . . . mineo is impatient, and he's a hothead, and it's so easy for him to say that it's not enough. neither of them have apologized or backed down, and this got a bit more vicious than their usual spats.

but.

it's not like takeru's saying "give up" - so he decides that has to be enough.]

... didn't mean to push.

[a quiet grumble. not really an apology, not as direct as mineo can be with his overwhelming sincerity. but something.]

.... do you actually have any hobbies besides robbing sweet stores blind?

[dotcom]

I eat more than just sweets.

[ he eats so much, it's horrible.

takeru doesn't apologize, or offer something that even slightly resembles one. the most that he offers is that he's no longer snapping at mineo. ]

I play games sometimes. I like my work.

[sengokus]

[oh.

. . . ]

What games?

[his weeb senses. also a beat later]

And what flavors do you like besides sweets?

[dotcom]

I don't like bitter things. [ he also can't handle spicy, but he isn't saying that one out loud. ] I'm generally fine with anything else.

[ ... ]

The type of game doesn't matter. I only really play to pass time.

[sengokus]

[he's gonna make takeru spicy ramen completely on accident now]

Guess that makes sense. You steal my pudding but pretty much everything else in the fridge is safe.

But is the rec room your favorite one here then?

[dotcom]

I don't have a favorite room.

[ he is too mad about his laptop not working properly to enjoy anything here. give him his shit back. ]

[sengokus]

I like the gym.

[takeru didn't ask]

But apparently we could be here for a while - maybe you'll end up with one.

[dotcom]

I hope not.

[ he does not one to feel a positive emotion about this place ]

[sengokus]

That's really depressing! Don't give up so fast, Takeru!

[dotcom]

Why? So I can get annoyed whenever it inevitable gets trashed?

[sengokus]

... the cheese was an accident.... allegedly.

[dotcom]

Who did you talk to?

[sengokus]

Can't say. I've been sworn to cheese secrecy.

[CHEESECRECY. FUCK]

Mahito-san's responsible for the play-doh slime washer, though.

[the what?]

[dotcom]

I already know Yuel was involved with the cheese thing.

[ she just refused to give deets.

but ]

The what?

[sengokus]

Play-doh slime washer.

[don't just repeat it]

Someone shoved him inside.

[HELLO?]

[dotcom]

[ ... ]

I decided that I don't care.

[sengokus]

Yeah it was a weird conversation, and that's coming from me.

[AT LEAST HE'S AWARE]

[dotcom]

You are really attracting the weirdos here.

[sengokus]

It's not on purpose....

[dotcom]

You can make yourself useful and keep an eye on them.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he looks away and sighs.]

I was doing that anyway.

[at least he can handle himself if something went wild so he doesn't care if weirdos approach him]

But at least it's mostly harmless so far.

[dotcom]

So far.

[ they're still in the weird space of not knowing how dangerous everyone really is. ]

Just don't get too friendly with a potential serial killer.

[sengokus]

... yeah. It's not in my plans.

[mineo's sympathetic but most of the time he draws the line at sociopath]

Is there anyone else I should keep an eye on?

[dotcom]

I think you've spoken to more suspicious people than I have.

[ he has probably spoken to more people than takeru has in general ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he looks torn

because he's between

"well that's good" because he'd rather that takeru with his even worse people skills not deal with psychos

and

distress because he doesn't want to be a lightning rod for psychos hello]
