FOR THOSE WHO ACTUALLY COME

((Loose tagging order, feel free to specify if you just want a solo thread with him, otherwise jump on in for shenanigans!))

Sure enough, Tatsuma can be found sitting on the edge of the fountain looking fairly unassuming, wearing a zip-up hoodie this time. There's a little bit of red splashed on his skin just barely visible under the collar, which... probably explains why the zipper instead of his usual pull-overs.

Next to him are a couple bottles of fake blood, as well as a portable stereo. This is not going to be the most subtle flash mob by a long shot.

Come lend him your talents? Berate him for poor life choices? Beg him to reconsider? The world is your oyster.

open! loose tagging, solo, whatever, i'm down

[ As if Souji would berate Tatsuma. Souji lives for this stuff so when he saw Tatsuma's help post, he knew he had to act. Sadly, he doesn't have a red outfit to be the star like Michael Jackson, but he does have some old clothes that he's totally willing to use to be a background zombie. Also, he arrives with a bag?? Of something?? ]

I don't have any white face paint but I brought flour if that helps.

[ ... look, they gotta be creative here if they want to look super pale ]

[strawberrypunch]

[He's pleasantly surprised to see Souji arrive, a grin making its way onto his face.]

Flour... Will that work? [He shifts just a little in his seat to peer at the bag. How do you apply it...]

[tarotcards]

[ wtf that's so cute, tatsuma. this is true friendship ]

I think so. If we pat our faces enough times with it, maybe it'll stick on?

[ He'll sit next to Tatsuma on the edge of the fountain and pull out the tiny bag of flour from the plastic bag. Maybe they should try it?? ]

[strawberrypunch]

[There is absolutely no way this can possibly go wrong.]

It's pretty dusty, though... [He should know, he baked once, that makes him an expert.

This does not stop him from reaching over to get a handful, however.]

[tarotcards]

[ A sudden truck comes out of nowhere and hits Tatsuma. That's how it goes wrong. ]

Try not to sneeze thoug--

[ Souji says right before he... does. Yes, he actually sneezes. While pulling out his own handful of flour, he just lets out a sudden sneeze and all the flour in both his hand and Tatsuma's goes everywhere. At least they don't have to apply it on anymore?? Not if it's flying all over them... ]

[strawberrypunch]

[You know that moment in cartoons when someone gets covered in dust or flour and then they blink their eyes, showing off the fact that the dust/flour did not in fact coat them entirely and now they have raccoon eyes?

That's what Tatsuma does right now, blinking in confusion at Souji wordlessly. He looks utterly ridiculous.]

[tarotcards]

[ Don't worry, Tatsuma. Souji looks just as ridiculous and if he wasn't the one who caused this mess, he would probably be laughing. ]

Well... at least we now know it sticks?

[strawberrypunch]

[It's okay, because Tatsuma gives a tiny huff, probably the closest thing to a laugh he's got in him.]

We don't have to put it on anymore, either.

[Although they could always dunk their hands too... Ehhh, maybe later. First, he's going to grab one of those bottles of fake, syrupy blood looking over at Souji expectantly.]

You need some of this, too.

[tarotcards]

[ wtf that's so cute. tatsuma, laugh for real!! souji will make it his mission to make him laugh ]

Thanks. Let me put some on you and you can do the same for me.

[ he will take the bottle from tatsuma!! and totally do it semi-serious by drawing a smiley face on tatsuma's cheek. it's cute blood, right? ]

[strawberrypunch]

[Souji you're sounding suspiciously like him, except to a nice person rather than a parents-murderer.

He does sit still as Souji smears fake blood on his cheek, feeling distinctly like there's something more like a drawing there than a blood spatter... But whatever, he's really not taking this too seriously, as evidenced by the fact that he pretty much just asked people to come by if they happened to have the spare time and shitty clothes.]

Does it look good?

[Make him the prettiest zombie, Souji.]

[tarotcards]

[ tatsuma is too nice for his own good............ don't forgive a parents murderer like wtf ]

More than good. You look stunning.

[ souji pulls out his phone and puts the camera into selfie mode so he can show tatsuma that he drew both a smiley face and also a cat on his cheeks. ]

[strawberrypunch]

[He needed to teach the parents murderer the power of friendship.

That said, he peers at his image in the phone, looking slightly embarrassed but mostly pleased with it. He'll definitely be a... unique zombie, that's for sure.]

Now it's my turn, right?

[tarotcards]

[ The parents murderer doesn't deserve the power of friendship ]

[ And Souji nods. He puts down his phone and readies himself for the best blood splatters or drawings on his face. ]

Go for it.

[strawberrypunch]

Alright.

[And he'll go ahead and artfully dab some splatters onto Souji, careful to avoid his eyes. A little added drip effect here, and...]

How's that?

[It doesn't have too much depth to it due to the lack of color options, but it definitely looks like he's covered in spatters of gore.]
