Texting and running

[Is it actually. Or is it another case of almost-or-actually walking into something because stickers are too strong!!!

So we do.

[ Oh he's laughing either way. When will he discover lol exists... ]

I'll be waiting.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Then as an afterthought. ]


I might go out to get donuts, actually. They seem like something America should do better than Japan so I might like theirs.

[....he probably won't because US foods tend to be way sweeter than Japanese ones f. ]

[He can probably sense the amusement even across the airwaves -- so he's totally choosing not to acknowledge them except possibly with a sticker. Maybe. Maybe...... That and there's other, more distracting things to get on with.]

2/2

[noneforall]

Just get a couple of flavors that look good, if we're sampling. There's stuffed ones, too.

[It's debatable whether Hikage would like those; they're messy and even sweeter, after all, but you never know. Unspoken: they'll have enough to share, the way they've taken to trying out foods, apparently.

Subete takes his own amusement here, but really -- he doesn't mind at all.]

[kaliedoscopes]

Stuffed? I guess I'll see in a bit.



[ And off he goes to The Donut House, using his license he totally didn't procure through illegal means or super recently. ]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Some time later when he's at the store. ]

They have butterfly donuts.

[noneforall]

[Both of their licenses are totally legit, including Subete’s pilot license that is totally not handwritten on a piece of paper or anything.

It takes him a little while to reply, probably for getting home and y’know ablutions, but this is an interesting discovery.]

Butterfly donuts? That’s a new one. Wonder how they taste?

[kaliedoscopes]

[ smh. ]



We'll find out soon.

Chocolate or cherry?

[noneforall]

I’m pretty hungry now... Both?

[tfw post exercise you immediately get hit with pics of donuts??? Or is there a hidden meaning?? Surely not.]

[kaliedoscopes]

There's a croissant one, so I'm getting that too.

[ A slight delay and then: ]



...how is this a croissant?

[noneforall]

...... It matches my sign??

[That is the stupidest non-justification ever but he’s too busy getting distracted by the nature of croissants.

Donuts probably shouldn’t have this many layers?? That’s a cake.]

1/2

[kaliedoscopes]

I like matching.

3 donuts should be enough.

[kaliedoscopes]

Wait, I was supposed to get a stuffed one too.

1/2

[noneforall]

Not bad, even if it's a little surprising.

[Well, surprising in terms of suddenly matching stickers and donuts, but that was just him being ridiculous. In general... this has been surprising all the way through, hasn't it?

Maybe he has to let that sit for a bit, but eventually...]

2/2

[noneforall]

An inauspicious number of donuts isn't the worst way to start, though.

[DEATH NUMBER DONUTS. This has just gone ridiculous once again but also they're still gigai zombies.]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Reading the text with that sticker is enough to fluster him because he might not have been paying too close attention to what he was typing. There's been an increasing amount of sentimentality involved but he's just going to make a really poor attempt to tuck that away for now, he can't have a doki in public let alone while he's waiting in line at a donut shop. ]

Aesthetics are important.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ A delay that entirely has to do with him purchasing said donuts and nothing to do with him being embarrassed. ]

We've been cursed enough to build up a resistance, especially to something like baked goods.

Death is apple stuffed, today.

1/2

[noneforall]

[Donut shops are the best time for this?? Clearly. Subete is definitely laughing on his end but it’s probably affectionate in some way. Also all he sends is:]



[..... Agreement? Amusement? Either way there’s some air of smugness.]

2/2

[noneforall]

There should be enough cursed baked goods to make up for 20 years’ lack, yes?

[Ever so slowly dragging the mansion’s sad pantry continues, forever.]

That’s a classic sort of death, I’ll take it.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Hikage probably smh'ed at the sticker but he's not putting that in writing. ]



The mansion was largely lacking in class, too.

What about us? Do we need anything else for tonight?

[noneforall]

Expecting a spider or the Foundation to have class was probably aiming a little high.

[RIP their fellow agents, as always, trapped in the disdain sandwich. But not by accident.

There’s a pause for thought since this was impromptu also hmm.]



I can get some things delivered, but see if there’s good otsumami on the way.

[kaliedoscopes]

All the more reason to stick to my taste. I did manage some sampling .

Hm, I doubt I'll find any traditional otsumami. What do westerners eat instead? Besides fried food. [ His current frame of reference is Graze in Minneapolis, so. ]

[noneforall]

I think I can agree with that.

[In all kinds of ways, really. All this donut business, like much of their other business, just ends up unnecessarily but interestingly tangled...]

Finger foods of all kinds?



Anything on most small bites or appetizer menus, as far as I can tell. The menus are pretty varied.

[His current frame of reference is mostly ‘copious googling’ paired with some experimentation. ☆]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ And he's probably distracted himself but it's fine! Also that emote and this text...he's def smiling because Subete and food are an entire ordeal that he may find cute in a particular way but. Mouth sealed! ]

I'll see if anything is open.
