Just because I may get along with him now doesn't make him less annoying.

[ you can want to kiss someone a lot but still think they're fuckin stupid!!! it's tragic

but they will start heading in the direction that is at least better for tourists-- more shops, instead of housing. as they walk, they can see more people around. ]

[fergalicious]

Is it only getting along?

[ She hums, amused. How is it to be that attracted to someone you think is that stupid, Takeru? She can't relate.

Medb, for the most part, ignores most of the new people they see. They will walk out of the way for her because she won't evade any of them.

Sometimes, you're just so entitled. ]

[dotcom]

[ medb is so valid

takeru does not notice because he is, unfortunately, also rude and is not the type to move first. this is a horrible combo. ]

For me, it is.

[ i need you to understand that even if he likes you it is still so hard for him to say the f word (friend) ]

[fergalicious]

[ Medb is someone who will validate his horrible parts (as long as he isn't being horrible to her). They are both so small but have such opposite energy, so everyone is going to move out of their way.

She laughs. If she didn't think Mineo is used to what an asshole Takeru is, it'd be funnier. ]

And what about me? Do we only get along, too?

[dotcom]

Well. We do get along.

[ he'll stop walking at a crosswalk.

his next words come out as more thoughtful. ]

Surprisingly well. Wasn't expecting that.

[fergalicious]

[ His words aren't an invitation, but she's taking them as such. She hooks her arm around his once he stops at the crosswalk. ]

I'm hard to resist once I put in a little effort.

[ Whether it's liking or disliking her, she wants the attention. ]

[dotcom]

[ he snorts. he doesn't pull away, at least, since he's mostly used to this. ]

Have you been here before?

[ shinjuku, tokyo in general, etc ]

[fergalicious]

Nope.

[ A beat. ]

Well, maybe a version of it in the past. It wasn't much like this, that's for sure.

[ She tugs on his arm once the walk sign lights up. ]

[dotcom]

[ hm... then a basic tour would be nice... she'd probably like looking at clothes... ]

The rest of Tokyo has more to it, but they haven't lifted quarantine officially yet so technically we're not supposed to leave Shinjuku yet.

[ he says technically because

powers. anyway. ]

Hungry?

[fergalicious]

[ She absolutely would like shopping for clothes.

What he says makes her wonder what it is about Shinjuku that makes it the prime quarantine ward of Tokyo across worlds? Since that's what happened to her world's Shinjuku in 1999. Quarantined off due to escalated crime and murder.

very funny since I just started playing cxm. anyway. ]

You ask that a lot. Is that why you were gluttony? Take me somewhere nice, hm?

[dotcom]

[ why are you playing cxm but not giving me your commentary

but he snorts at her comment. ]

I think gluttony would be more I don't even ask but I take you to a place anyway.

[ either way, when they start walking he'll be headed in a more determined direction. ]

[fergalicious]

[ i'll start a group dm with you and dana when i get home from work today.

She laughs as they walk. Even now the line between gluttony and greed is fuzzy to her. ]

Oh, I'd make you pay if you did that.

[dotcom]

[ honestly? same. same.....

but he shrugs. ]

It would still be a treat. I have great taste.

[fergalicious]

You'll have to prove that to me.

[ She seems amused, though. ]

[dotcom]

I'm not one to back down from a challenge.

[ a pause. ]

Or lose in one.

[fergalicious]

I'll count on that. Don't disappoint me, okay?

[ She smiles up at him. ]

[dotcom]

Wouldn't dream of it.

[ they can start walking again. ]

What were you doing before I texted?

[fergalicious]

[ She makes a face. ]

Oh, something bothersome. [ A pause. ] Well, I was watching others do something bothersome after I did what I wanted.

[dotcom]

[ he just nods his head in understanding. ]

Well, as long as it wasn't anything too important.

[fergalicious]

[ She tugs on his arm to get him to stop walking, and even if he doesn't, she does. ]

However important it was or not, I still made the choice to visit you.

[ Her tone and her gaze are intent. ]

Recognize it.

[dotcom]

[ he'll pause when she tugs, tilting his head as he listens to her.

there's a small smile. ]

I won't waste the visit. [ and a little more thoughtfully, ] You're the first person I'm seeing.

[ other than mineo, but he doesn't count since he literally lives here. ]

[fergalicious]

[ Medb turns that over in a head for a second before she gets on her tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek. ]

Good. You're not the only one who can leave people on read.

[ But apparently, she's appeased enough because she starts walking again, as if she knows where the fuck she's going. ]

[dotcom]

[ he believes in her ability to look like she knows what she's doing

but that's fine, since their destination is nearby. it's a fancy tea shop, that serves nice tea related foods. it shouldn't be a surprise that takeru would go to somewhere that sells pastries.

but once they get close to it, he points it out to her. ]

[fergalicious]

[ Yeah, she isn't surprised at all. She laughs softly and walks in like she owns the place. ]

I want the best table.

[ Wish that would get her in trouble. ]

[dotcom]

[ i also wish it would, but she gives the aura of being Important, so the staff will bow and start walking to a very scenically placed table.

takeru just snorts. ]
