[no]

That was an agreement. You agreed! We're going to Kyoto.

[STOP]

[dotcom]

Is that what I did?

[sengokus]

I said 'we should go here' and you said 'uh huh'. It counts.

Osaka's supposed to be the epicenter of street food so you might like it more.... but Kyoto's still pretty cool.

[dotcom]

It would depend on what kind of food they have.

Also, it doesn't count.

[sengokus]

What else do you like eating besides sweets?

And it counts.

[dotcom]

I just like things that are good.

[ he just

has a list of

things he thinks are bad ]

[sengokus]

... takoyaki's pretty good? Okonomiyaki.... Being here makes me want inari though - kitsune udon....

Oh no, I'm just making myself hungry.

[dotcom]

You might as well just go to the kitchen.

[sengokus]

I'm trying to think of good food for you! And for me later.

[dotcom]

Just go eat if you're hungry.

[sengokus]

I'm not super hungry now...

You're just trying to avoid planning our Kyoto trip. [that mineo decided they're going on]

[dotcom]

We're not having one so there's nothing to plan.

[sengokus]

[ . . . pouting.]

Guess I'll ask again after Osaka...

[dotcom]

[ he sighs ]

You're confident.

[sengokus]

Yeah, and I'm stubborn.

[and he doesn't sound like he feels bad about it at all]

[dotcom]

Let's just get out of here first, alright?

[sengokus]

Sure - actually, I've been wondering how long we're here for...?

[he tilts his head]

You'd think with all the stuff people are doing, the race would be over by now...?

[it's like

been a month]

[dotcom]

They did say there was no definite end date in mind...

[ but it is a very good question ]

So, is it when we indulge a certain amount? Or do they not want us to know where the finish line is?

[sengokus]

I think it's amounts... at least - that's the impression I got? Apparently if someone just indulged like crazy, the race would've been over fast based on when I first talked to Wrath when we got here.

But... I mean - people have been killing and - uh, getting intimate for a while. And so far no one's gotten a second round of bonus items from home. I thought we'd be getting more markers but none so far...

[dotcom]

Well...

I guess that's a good thing, in a sense. It means people still have time to catch up.

[sengokus]

[a glance over at takeru]

... yeah.

But it's kinda worrying at the same time for how much more we have to go, and what we might have to lose to indulgence.

I don't know how else to get it to end earlier - in a way that works out for both of us.

[dotcom]

If it comes down to something like that, stop worrying about me.

[ he sighs, after he says this, like he knows this topic is useless to return to. they just go in circles. ]

I'll make sure I have enough.

[sengokus]

[they really do just go in circles!! mineo doesn't have to say it for takeru to get the general 'I'm going to keep worrying about you' vibe]

Fine. We'll figure it out.

[dotcom]

[ yeah, he doesn't look entirely too pleased, but he'll let the subject drop. ]
