[ in the void for now, but he's big enough to be cumbersome and difficult to avoid, so they're bound to run into each other again.
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. ]

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. ]
[ 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?

[ wow anyway that all fucking sucked! a little after execution, he's out getting a meal and it's awful. on top of everything, the food here is bad. ]
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. ]

[ YEAH IT SURE DID. and yeah this food fucking sucks, he misses dahut's baking so much already. god.
that gets a little laugh, though it's a very tired one. ]
Gives us something to do next week, I guess.

[ 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.

[ setting this before your love arrowing ig...
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 ]

[ todomatsu this is so cute. everything is okay now because he has five new brothers and a sister so he too can get some sister trauma if she dies. ]
I agree! I thought it would be uncomfortable for you all at the time, [ and they get clowned on a lot ] but it ended up being fine.
[ comparably. he gets a little amped up when they talk about things to look forward to, versus all the murder and death. ]
It's all the more motivation to get our demands met—an upgrade from what we had already! I don't think I've ever been to the sort of bathhouse as you all spoke of, I'd be interested to see one. [ gorons have a monopoly on all the hot springs. ]

[ nods ]
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. ]

[ eric i'm sorry cyoa kicked my ass so bad i thought i responded to this, cries
none of that first part registers as meaning anything about anything to him. what even is a graphic. has anyone taught him what a computer is. mobage......
basically what this means is that he just nods along and looks at what the prompts are. ]
Oh! A carpenter. I enjoy architecture. [ close enough. ] Though—are you and I in this game?
[ watches todomatsu set them up to die ]

[ watches todomatsu set them up to die ]
[ 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. ]
Maybe we can find shelter somewhere?

[ i died on like 80% of my pcs from last week don't worry, we were all suffering on cyoa
anyway carpenter it is! clicks. ]
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you name everyone in the wagon, so we can name them all after people here!
[ makes himself party leader... adds sidon as number 2... ]
Okay, so two others besides us. Who do you want to take to Oregon?

he does not know what an oregon is but it sounds nice. ]
What about... Owner?
[ he is just picking someone from the bathroom curfew. he does not know that two of them will be dead this week so this is just dumb luck. ]
You can pick the last one!

[ 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...

[ oh actually it's FIVE total i can't read
and honestly bathroom curfew was also his natural impulse so i'm going to make this tragic ]
Diluc-san can be the ox.
[ he's not going to subject shouxue to this wagon full of dudes ]
When to leave... [ sees what the Ask For Advice option has to say ] ...April, probably? That's like, early to mid spring.

[ HELP ME. SIDON THINKS THIS IS A GREAT LIST. NOTHING COULD GO WRONG IN "OREGON." ]
Oh—yes, just after winter ends! An excellent time to start a new journey.
[ afterwards, they're greeted to a store list and their budget. they can buy oxen, food, clothing, ammunition, and spare parts. the way i opened up oregon trail for this. ]
Hm... well, I don't need any clothes. And—we can make repairs ourselves?

[ 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 ]

[ me spelling viktor's name wrong because i was thinking about xillia 2 earlier fgjkd but HONESTLY it's ic for him to fuck up names so it stays!! he just went ahead and typed "y" to the question about the names being right before sidon could correct him and now they have to live with it.
i love us both just playing along with the actual game here. ]
Probably?
[ is there actually a carpenter bonus, who knows.
he doesn't think the game is going to take sidon's not needing to wear clothes into account, but he also doesn't remember how much clothes matter in this context and they wouldn't be cute anyway so he'll go ahead with 8 sets. next... ]
Ugh, this is so many oxen.
[ DILUC, BE FEWER OXEN, YOU'RE EXPENSIVE ]

[ the number of times i have almost typed victor in a tag is leaping out. victor is here now. it will soften the blow when he inevitably dies along the journey. ]
We can't leave them!
[ THEY HAVE TO BRING ALL THE OXEN!!!!! no curfew man left behind except shouxue who is actually better off not included. anyway he has never used a gun so he's useless for the ammo bit, and they can grab a few extra wagon bits and pieces. ]
If we follow the game's suggestions, we still have money remaining... Maybe we should bring extra Dilucs?
[ will they even get far enough to spend their surplus. ]

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

Wait, seriously?
[ kind of snorts at that. ]
Someone must really have it out for him. Though I think it says something about the people who chose to use it too...
