If you get anywhere near me I'm stabbing you with a seashell.

[ it is said too calmly.

he does not venture too far into the room though, instead lingering close to the exit. ]

[sengokus]

A-At least put a little doubt in your voice or else I can't tell you're joking?!

[is he joking mineo

but also he's just going to squint]

... you know the sand isn't real, right? You can come in. If anything that's probably the best part.

[dotcom]

I know.

[ he's debating if he wants to stay or not.

but wanting info wins, so he walks over. ]

[sengokus]

[mineo thinks about throwing sand at takeru

but instead he'll just gesture for him to sit down next to him]

Welcome to Kochi. Katsurahama Beach, to be exact.

[him hometown...]

[dotcom]

Uh huh...

[ he'll sit.

it's a little weird, considering they've been stuck in shinjuku for so long. being in the strange new location is one thing, but seeing something from back in japan is... odd. ]

[sengokus]

[it is.

and it's probably why mineo admits - ]

... I thought about maybe conjuring up a more specific image from home but I don't think a simulation would do my cute little sister justice.

[he's sentimental at heart, and maybe that's why he wanted to see something nostalgic.]

You want me to change it to something else?

[dotcom]

This is fine. I don't hate the beach.

[ he doesn't touch the topic of the sister though. the thought of using the simulation to see someone seems a little too much. ]

[sengokus]

[he nods!]

It's nice, right? And like - now it can be golden hour for way longer than an hour if you want!

[how long has he been in here]

[dotcom]

Have you been hogging the room?

[ it is not a surprise, considering what this room can do, but still. ]

[sengokus]

[sdflkj]

I ask if anyone wants to change it when they come in!!

[HE HAS MANNERS]

[dotcom]

Uh uh.

[ he goes quiet for a second.

but back to business. ]

Did you talk to Sloth again?

[sengokus]

[business, business - though mineo will just move to bury his feet in the warm sand because he can without worrying about perpetually sandy repercussions]

Ah... yeah. And Greed, too.

Did you get to chat with Gluttony?

[dotcom]

I did. Didn't get anything useful from them other than talking about how to fulfill indulgences.

[sengokus]

I can't believe you're gonna be a hundred percent made of sweets by the time we get home.

[no]

[dotcom]

You are really obsessed with my eating habits, aren't you?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . to be honest - ]

I'm not sure what else you can do for gluttony....

[he doesn't like

understand sins super well as a concept]

[dotcom]

It doesn't have to be food exactly... I guess the concept can just be taking things that I want to use? It can be confused for greed, probably...

[sengokus]

Yeah, that's what I asked Wrath about.

[because he couldn't figure out the difference between the two]

So what're you - taking?

[???]

[dotcom]

I was given a few examples, but... it's suggested we do more than just one a week to actually stand a chance here.

[ which is

annoying.

if you can't really repeat the same things. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . hmmm. mineo looks thoughtful at that.]

... Greed-san asked me what I think would be fair to get what I want... and that as we indulge more, we'll get more uh - power? Anyway...

But what power do we need to get what we want? I'm mostly more after answers than anything...

[dotcom]

Maybe the power to get those answers with your own hands.

[ he glances down at his hands as he says this, before looking toward the ocean. ]

I don't know. They like to be vague.

[sengokus]

They really do.

I even asked for a first aid kit and didn't get answers on why I couldn't get one. There's all these people with knives and Wrath sins running around!

[HE JUST DOESN'T TRUST THAT IT'LL BE OKAY]

[dotcom]

I think we just need to be ready for them to not be any real help. It's hard to tell if they just won't tell us or if they don't know, since the way they word everything can go either way.

[sengokus]

Wrath-san said they just don't know how much we have to indulge to get what we want...

[he sighs a bit about it]

But they're also pretty shady about how long they've been here. Apparently they found out about us before we arrived, though. So they know our backstories and stuff...

[dotcom]

They're shady about a lot of things.

So we'll just have to keep being pushy about it.
