Just a couple of things.

-I'm turning 25 on Monday and it seems like the kind of thing you should do something for. I was going to invite people to the pool until some things happened, but now I don't want to, so. I'm going to be at the Inkwell and will accept all birthday congratulations, gifts, and complaints about how grey water is super weird.

Anyone can come, it's not like I run the bar. Unless you're that guy that threatened me, you have to stay at least ten feet away from me at all times.

[Water being grey now is not actually why the pool party is being called off, but it makes an excellent excuse.]

-Does anyone have any advice about explaining your sudden changes in behavior to people who know you really well but don't know what's going on with Retrospec? I can't not talk to my parents.

[buncho]

[thesettingsun]

If you have too much sugar you'll get diabetes and die, Mafuyu.

[buncho]

no i wont, theres no such thing as too much sugar
remember that cupcake we had? we didnt die, right?

[thesettingsun]

If we had a cupcake every day we would die.

[buncho]

we wont
buy me a cupcake every day and ill eat it and show you

[thesettingsun]

I'm not going to pay to murder you.

[buncho]

its not murder if i ask for it

[thesettingsun]

I'm not going to pay to kill you either.

[buncho]

im saying i wont die! believe in me! if i die ill leave you all my stuff, and you dont have to worry about money and stuff in the future

[thesettingsun]

How much money do you have?

[He's not actually considering it.]

[buncho]

uhhh depends on if im saving for anything
but i get $5 a week for chores. its enough, i can support you

[ so like, nothing right now. but if shuji murders her on the right day of the week, that's five whole dollars in his pocket ]

[thesettingsun]

Noooo thank you. I could buy a stick of gum with that, maybe.

[buncho]

thats good, right? you can chew on gum for years and itll never disappear
spend all your money on gum and youll never go hungry ever

[thesettingsun]

GUM IS NOT FOOD, MAFUYU KUROSAKI.

[buncho]

you put it in your mouth and chew, its food!
why are you so picky, shuji, im giving you all these great ideas and now its your turn to broaden your mind and accept them!

[thesettingsun]

You can put pens in your mouth and chew, it doesn't mean they're food! You can't digest gum, it doesn't help your body any and you'll starve if all you have is gum!

[buncho]

pens arent tasty at all, shuji..............
are you ok, shuji? do you need food? i can bring you food next time i see you

[thesettingsun]

Are you pitying me? Is this what my life has become?

[buncho]

i mean
eating pens is kind of pitiful, yeah

[thesettingsun]

I don't eat them! I just used to chew on them sometimes!

[buncho]

but why? they dont taste good

[thesettingsun]

Nervous habit. Like chewing on fingernails.
