Why not? Like you said, it's a good idea. I mean - it sounds like something you can do for a couple hours without it getting weird, right?

[dotcom]

It seems like it might be more sloth than gluttonous. You're not really doing anything.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . hmmmm. he pauses.]

Seems like a fine line....

But I can get why it'd be pretty hard to figure out then, yeah.

[but takeru needs to catch up!! now mineo is frowning because he is running out of ideas fast]

[dotcom]

And then there's the difference between gluttony and greed, which can be difficult...

[sengokus]

Gluttony is just having a bunch of stuff even though you don't need it, and greed's closer to just wanting a bunch of stuff in general.... right...?

[he has no idea. he'll just turn over on his stomach on the blanket and reach out to play with the sand]

Your appetite's not back?

[dotcom]

... I'll eat.

[ so he is no longer just eating bread, like he definitely was before, but it's fine. ]

There's just an odd feeling with it now.

[sengokus]

[mineo continues to hand takeru endless water bottles so he's at least hydrated]

Odd....?

[he tilts his head]

[dotcom]

To be specific, it was more of a feeling of disgust. The thought of eating more than necessary was disgusting.

[ still is, in a way, but he's at least been able to break out of the mindset enough that he can go back to more of his usual diet for the most part. ]

[sengokus]

.... kind of really takes out your easy option for indulgence, huh? Sorry Takeru - that sounds really rough.

[takeru your mountain of donuts]

Can you eat sweets again yet?

[dotcom]

Not as much as before, but yeah, I can.

[ so he's not stuffing his face to the insane level that he used to but

he can enjoy a donut ]

[sengokus]

[nods]

That's good. It was kinda weird seeing you without them for a while. It was like your charm point.

[the last bit was the niceness effect but also he doesn't seem to hesitate saying it]

[dotcom]

[ ... ]

That sounds like an insult.

[1/2]

[sengokus]

It was just the easiest one to pinpoint. You have other charm points.

[sengokus]

[he wants to bury his head in the sand]

[dotcom]

[



heh. ]

You should list them.

[sengokus]

[he takes a handful of virtual sand into his grasp

he's clearly resisting the effect

and thinking about

shoving this entire fistful of sand in his mouth]

[dotcom]

[ he waits.

... ]

What are they, Mineo? I'm asking. It's rude to keep me waiting.

[ is he using the effect against him? mayhaps. ]

[sengokus]

[the fistful of sand inches closer to his face like he's really thinking about it

he can't even tell takeru he's the worst even though he's confirmed the worst

but he just

mumbles

something]

..............es..............

[dotcom]

Huh? Did you say something?

[ he places a hand at his ear, like he's trying to amplify his hearing. ]

Speak more loudly.

[1/3]

[sengokus]

[noooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

—You have unreasonably nice eyes, you're smart and cool, occasionally really funny, and even if you say you're selfish I think you don't give yourself enough credit and—

[sengokus]

[oh he's not saying this last one]

[sengokus]

[he eats sand]

Guhah....!!

[now he's too busy spitting it out to finish]

[dotcom]

[ holy shit



he watches mineo choke. the urge to be nice will make him reach out eventually to pat mineo on the back, but just know that normally he would just let this happen without helping. ]

What was going to follow after and?

[sengokus]

[he hATES THIS]

Nnnnnooo!! Pleh ehscuse mah rudeneh....!!

[do you know how hard it is to talk when you've got sand on your tongue

he's actually getting up again and straight up running for the fake ocean because he needs to wash his mouth out

it's not rude because he tried to be polite and also he can't fucking talk like this anyway]

[dotcom]

[ he just casually stands up and dusts any sand off himself before following after mineo.

it's funny because if mineo had cut himself off any other way, takeru would care less, but since it was so extreme he is now very interested. ]

What were you going to say?
