[ todomatsu's still a little baffled by the existence of this giant shark guy, but, well. unnerving size aside, he doesn't actually have anything against fish-themed characters, and sidon has seemed nice and eager to help so far — and the emotions now seem to be confirming that as genuine — so...
he might need to reevaluate if they end up in a horror movie starvation situation, but for now he's decided he's fine with this, actually (especially since having big strong guys like this around means he probably won't get stuck having to move heavy boxes himself!!). ]
Ah, Sidon-san! Hello.
[ the vibes are like, mildly annoyed that this is all happening, and a little wary and self-conscious because of the thoughtsharing, but not particularly distressed now. ]
Mm, it definitely wasn't how I expected my weekend to go... the whole thing's still pretty sketchy and troublesome, but it could be worse.
[ oh, to be compared to a mascot fish girl. but he's pleased to see that todomatsu seems to be handling the situation—while nothing too awful has happened directly, it's easy to find reasons to be down these days. ]
Hah! Sketchy... you're not wrong. [ even if sidon tends to go in with the highest expectations, it's still sketchy. ] What do you make of it all?
[ dahut your crassants... another thing taken from them too soon. he laughs too, a genuine glimmer of amusement after two days straight of taking everything too seriously. ]
For another one of our shower excursions?
[ time for more platonic group shower sleepovers? ]
Everyone was so strange about it! But I thought you were all very nice company. [ it really, really sounds like they were one of the more chill groups on thursday, somehow. ]
If we actually get that bath it can be like a public bathhouse. Totally normal to go in groups at night!
[ there's kind of a warm feeling at the mention of their group. even if he's a complainer he actually really, really prefers not being alone at night, and he would have had a much worse time without all of them. ]
Honestly, yeah, we could have done a lot worse. [ they could have been on the observation deck... watching people die instead of just being karens about plumbing fixtures. ] And I still think that was actually one of the most convenient places to get unexpectedly stuck.
It's kind of like that! Though those were all made to be mobile games that you could play on the go. This was made back before games were portable, so you'd just have to sit at a computer for a few hours. The graphics were also wayyyyy lower quality back then...
[ clicks... ]
Hmm, do you want to be a banker, a carpenter, or a farmer? The banker has the most money to start with so he can buy more supplies for the journey... I guess the carpenter's probably better at wagon repair or something?
[ he doesn't know wtf the benefit to being a farmer would be when they can't stop to plant anything... maybe the oxen would like him better. ]
[ they're outside and it's cold. he does not like it. he's not the type to gripe and groan, but his energy levels are a little low because #amphibianlyfe. he'll make sure todomatsu's got his hood or something pulled up though when it starts to snow... lil buddy. ]
[ yikes, yeah. he thinks a little snow is fun, but he doesn't love the cold either. he's got his dumb knit cap that everyone mistakes for a brown bowl cut in my icons on, at least, and he's definitely keeping his hands in his hoodie pocket. please be wearing more than a cravat, sidon... ]
Y-yeah, probably a good idea, at least for a little while. I definitely don't want to be down here once it starts getting dark, though...
[ he is at least wearing some layered cloaks and, unfortunately, some shoes that keep him from sinking bodily into the snow. they're doing their best out here. ]
Yes, we could very well freeze at night...
[ but thankfully they can get somewhere or other in time, probably. the lodge is nice; they can trek that way. this is just like their video games. ]
It is beautiful in its own way, though. [ compared to vamp city ]
[ post paintball, there is just a guy hanging around outside somewhere. he's pixelated and bald and generally not fun to look at, as his expression stays '_' but he waves at todomatsu anyway. ]
[ sometime before we go out to pick a fight with a flower field, we're getting pulled into what is unfortunately a very long memory, i'm sorry — here from 09:41 - 18:41. he just sighs when he sees which one this is. ]
You know, you're welcome to just zone out in the middle of this, I don't think the void will notice.
[ also surprise all of his brothers are exact clones of him. ]
[ when memshare doesn't drop a huge trauma bomb it just outs some interesting kinks that you were trying to make your siblings uncomfortable with. this is the realest sort of trauma actually.
sidon is actually probably the best person who could have seen this since he doesn't even have a belly button. which is very fortunate because todomatsu's face would have been like, right at that height, and that would have made this immensely awkward for everyone. ]
They don't want to be close to me, they just don't want to see one of us having a life outside of them.
he clinks this tiny thimble cup against his with a grin. ]
You did excellently at the resort earlier! I'd never have lied properly to all those employees. [ he's got charm but does not like, fully embody the charisma stat. he sips and lets out a breathless sort of laugh. ] Goodness—I can't believe how much has happened.

his emotions brighten up, cheerfulness that matches his voice. ]
Hello again! Quite an eventful weekend, hm?
[ he's just doing a vibe check, making sure todomatsu isn't having an existential crisis or anything. ]

Ahah... we never did have time to make our complaints.
[ the bit of good cheer in his voice isn't exactly fake or forced, but it is a little tempered down, simmered. ]

that gets a little laugh, though it's a very tired one. ]
Gives us something to do next week, I guess.

todomatsu's at one of the computers looking through the game options! which is to say, congratulations, you get the oregon trail prompt. ]
Wow, they've got some really retro games here...
[ opens it up in dosbox ]

Why are there so many of these...
[ a diluc variation for each of their oxen??? ]

[ he is rocking on his feet a little, restless compared to Real Diluc. diluc who could create an ox osomatsu family of his own by now. ]
