[They'll all fade away soon enough when they realize he barely tweets.

It's fine.

Anyway...!! Minato's not pulling away, of course. He seems just fine with this, somehow.]

Oh--right over there.

[Into the antiques store...!! It's kind of musty and quiet in here.]

[usogi]

[senri is

probably out of place considering that his default mode is Loud but he's enchanted anyway, curious as he peers around and tilts his head]

Oohh...

Have you seen those movies where Grandma and Grandpa have a mysterious attic that contains, I dunno - the doorway to a different world? Or a book that'll unleash a bunch of fairies?

[he's looking for both Narnia and Cardcaptor Sakura apparently]

[messianic]

[... Minato pauses to glance at him, eyebrow arched.]

What, at the same time?

[...]

Sounds complicated.

[Anyway, this place is cool. Pretty full of odd things.]

[usogi]

Really? I think it'd be fun. Like a video game!

[That is a lot of odd things and Senri's not really sure what to look at first? He picks up random items as he goes, carefully, as if trying to memorize their little details (so he can use them in lies later).]

Fancy.... See anything you like?

[messianic]

[Well...]

It's not really about what I like, right? It's about what my friends will enjoy.

[Minato moves through the store just as curiously, occasionally picking up an oddity here or there.]

A lot of this is eyecatching though, isn't it...?

[usogi]

Just because we're here for them doesn't mean I don't want to know more about what you like along the way....

[just saying!! but senri laughs as he picks up another little odd statue shaped like an elephant]

Definitely! What would you even use some of these things for?

[messianic]

... Decoration...?

[But he doesn't sound very sure.]

Look at this... [what]

[usogi]

[what.]

..... what am I looking at, Minapyon.

[messianic]

... No idea.

I think it's...a gong? A tiny gong.

Minigong.

Gong Lite.

[usogi]

Gong Jr.

Son of Gong.

[ . . . ]

Buy it.

[messianic]

[... A blink.]

Why? Do you know someone you could give it to as a gift?

[usogi]

Not off the top of my head but.... it'd be funny to have anyway, don't you think? Does it cost a lot?

[do it for the vine, minato]

[messianic]

[Minato checks the tag and...shrugs?]

700 yen.

[So no, not a lot, but still....]

You don't want to buy it?

[usogi]

I mean, I can but what I'd do with it...

[terrorize his roommate]

I feel like you'd be more generous. And pure. By a lot.

[messianic]

With a gong...?

[????

He still doesn't understand, but... he shrugs and picks it up anyway.]

Alright, I guess...

[usogi]

[can you imagine being woken up at 7 in the morning with a tiny gong

because that's what senri was planning.]

Mm, yeah just trust me.

And when you ring the gong you can think of me!

[messianic]

That's a little silly.

[Oh...?]

I don't need a gong to remind me to think of you. A lot of things remind me of you.

[usogi]

Really? Like what?

[needy.]

[messianic]

Like... how the color orange reminds me of you, and also things that are sparkly, because you're kind of a sparkly person.

And kaomoji, since you're the one who usually sends me those, and when new games come out because I think about how you'll want to play them...

Things like that.

[usogi]

[ . . . huh.

senri supposes that's not bad - given that all of those things are true. it's impressive how none of his lies got mixed in, and he wonders if that means that minato must be really good at watching people.]

Wooooow. You're mindful of a lot of little things, Minapyon! You'll make me blush!

[shut up]

[messianic]

[... Huh.]

You aren't blushing, though... do I have to try harder?

[usogi]

Ah, please don't. I have a reputation to maintain?

[no you don't]

[messianic]

[A blank blink.]

You do?

[usogi]

Minapyon, that's rude?! That's super rude! I'm the rising star of the theater, you know....!

[CRITICS SAY SO!!!!]

[messianic]

Ah... well, I never realized you were trying to maintain some sort of reputation when we're together, that's all.

[Shrugs a little!]

It's not that I'm doubting your success, you know.
