What, I am?

[ Throws her an suspicious look. They didn't talk about that in the Retrospec post... Nui, ]

I only have fifty dollars on me, and I sure as hell am not spending any on that omnipresent weirdo. Just give him a jar of wasps or whatever, he's not gonna go after you for that.

[ Or maybe he will? Stay tuned. ]

[eyestitch]

[She's volunteering him! Nui pulls out her phone while Sena is talking and scrolls up and with her fingertip for a while.]

Hey, hey hey hey hey! I thought you didn't want me to send him something that would land me in jail?

[She holds the evidence in Sena's face.] So I guess you're my conscience now, Jiminy!

[adoringpast]

I was just being facetious?

[ he squints at her phone and brings out his own phone and evidence. ]

You never said that I have to spend money on you either? But... maybe I'll just contribute a dollar or whatever to make you shut up.

[eyestitch]

Hey, you're so generous!

[She pulls her phone back to her and shuts down Retrospec, but they can't move on until she's snapped a picture for the Insta with a cheerful cry of] Smile!

Wait until you see some of the things this guy asked for! Some of them are basically White Elephant gifts, but do I want to give him something that he'll probably enjoy way too much?

[adoringpast]

[ and as if on cue, sena throws up a peace sign along with a deadpan look on his face. he didn't have to smile in selfies anyway because he looks that good, yeah. ]

Well, it didn't say in the bingo that the gift has to be expensive. But if you want to be in Jim's good graces, then sure.

[ his eyes scan the department store, trying to look for good ideas. ]

Maybe a teacup set? That's fancy enough for a wedding registry.

[eyestitch]

Mmmm, I don't really care what he thinks about me! I'd rather be in your good graces, Sena! [That's a huge lie.

She starts meandering through housewares section of the Towers, definitely looking like she's giving everything some thought. It's easy to imagine smashing the delicate things here, but she has more class than that, definitely.]

I was thinking a bathroom set or something...you know, for irony! But tea's like, a meme, isn't it? [They can both put their names on the gift and get all cozy!]

[adoringpast]

[ inwardly cringing at that. you don't have to try too hard, nui. really. but sena tags along anyway, hands shoved in his pockets as he looks at whatever's available in this section. a bathroom set does sound appealing for a newlywed couple - not that sena knows that, but ]

I'm probably so far behind that I didn't know that tea became a meme. [ it's flying over sena's head, RIP ] But sure, let's go with that. There should be one that's not too expensive though, since spending way too much for that guy is just overdoing it. I bet Jim put that square in to get free shit from us.

[eyestitch]

That's what that obnoxious guy who called me an idiot said, too! [You'd never call her an idiot, right? Right? Riiiiiight?]

Imagine if he'd asked for a specific one, like with the china! You know he would have picked the most expensive thing in the store...or the ugliest.

[She holds up a dishware box labeled "Birds of the Pacific Northwest." It looks as geared to 70 year-olds as the title suggests.] Sena, Sena! Look at this one!

[adoringpast]

[ uh. yeah. sure. not out loud, at least.

this is gonna be a long day. they'd better wrap this up quick. can't be that hard shopping for a wedding present, right?

but one look at the tacky china and sena's covering his mouth in his hand to stifle his laughter. oh god. ]

That's so fucking tacky, Harime. Are you blind?

[ ... ]

It's perfect.
