Yeah, sure! This way!

[Rinku climbs back up the embankment and gestures for Ezra to follow her down the path. It winds around a gazebo, past an old school and its playground, and has a big clearing with fall trees around it like a shelterbelt before coming out the other end.]

There's gotta be stores selling them out here.

[emanation]

Perfect, thanks.

{ luckily he's very agile, it only takes a quick few steps for him to catch up with her and then he has to remind himself to slow down. his legs are likely much longer than hers. it gives him a chance to gaze around all the area though, taking in all the places he hasn't seen yet. }

You'd think so with how it was back again recently, right?

[roundandaround]

Yeah! And it's still technically Rain of Affection season. It doesn't usually stop until around June or something.

[emanation]

Until June? { don't mind him while he drags his hands down his face while walking. } Then I really do need an umbrella.

[roundandaround]

There's lots of them! Some that are clear and some that change colours and some that block the rain with magic so the people next to you stay dry too. I saw someone once who had an umbrella that made their hair turn a bunch of colours!

[emanation]

I'm not sure I'd want my hair to change... But one that would block the rain with magic to help someone else stay dry would be nice. Do you have to get the magic ones from somewhere specific?

[roundandaround]

I think it just depends on which stores have what items for sale. Like anything else. Huh, I wonder where Hijikata-san got that one, then?

[emanation]

Ah, sure. I guess it just is everywhere here, isn't it? Who is 'Hijikata-san'?

[roundandaround]

Oh, he's a cop, and he's pretty famous! He's kind of loud and gets into fights, but he knows a lot of stuff, and he has a squad of ghosts and a sword. You'll know him when you see him.

[emanation]

It... sounds like it. { he rubs the back of his head } Not because of the sword, but ghosts... and gets into fights.

[roundandaround]

Oh, and mayo is his favourite thing in the world, so if you see a guy smoking and putting mayo on everything, that's him.

[emanation]

On everything? Even like... on his cereal? In coffee????

[roundandaround]

I actually wouldn't put it past him.

[emanation]

{ there's a pause and then he's just


going to


drag his hands down his face.

WHY would anyone do that to coffee?! }

[roundandaround]

...are you okay?

[emanation]

{ his hands are still over half his face when he responds to that }

Shouldn't you be asking that to him...? Can you even taste the rest of the food or drink anymore if you put mayo in it?

[roundandaround]

I dunno. I don't think so, but Hijikata-san is Hijikata-san. If it makes him happy, that's good, right?

[emanation]

Well... I guess that's true. I just can't imagine loving a food or drink that much to go to that length.

[roundandaround]

Is there anything you'd wanna put all over your life like that?

[emanation]

{ he pauses at the question, looking thoughtful.

struggles to think of anything in particular. }

Not to that extent, no. I really can't think of anything I'd go that far with.

[roundandaround]

Hm... Some people are like that and some aren't, so I think that's fine. There's stuff I really like, but more than one thing. And like, I really love donuts, but I eat things other than donuts.

[emanation]

Yeah, donuts are pretty good. So are burgers. Fries. Pizza. { does he eat anything healthy- } But I wouldn't like. Have them in my coffee.

[roundandaround]

What would pizza coffee even be, anyway?

[emanation]

{ he looks disappointed in himself for even considering this for a moment. } I guess like a cheese and tomato flavoured coffee? Is that even possible?

[roundandaround]

I dunno if it's possible, but it sounds bad.
