[ we're at mcdonalds. the ikea. the mcikea. wherever. and eiden is lifting his drink to his lips when suddenly his jaw kind of slips a little and pours on his jeans. damn. ]
[ slowly putting napkins in his lap from the dispenser, even though they're papery thin and not that great to begin with. don't look at where he spilled his drink what the fuck! it's. more than it should be, but he was caught unawares. he's just a little guy. ]
Definitely isn't mine. [ u may help if you want, but he's doing his best by himself because now he's Embarrassed. ] Shitty first meeting. Anyways, hi... sucks we're stuck here et cetera et cetera...
[ WHAT A WEEK I say as I return to my home in this Monday morning having been unable to attend either terrible weekend mg event but Wolfwood was there in theory! So he is also here, feeling emotionally not great in theory. Just lugging this cross over to McDonalds or something because he's been smoking nonstop and he's just wondering if he wants to actually change up a vice for a minute but black coffee? During this depression? ]
[ that's what we're here for, to build out the scene for u so u can relive the terrible nightmare of saturday. anyways we are Reunited here in the mcdonalds where eiden has decided to sit on the table instead of in a seat, sipping a diet coke while topper is just flopped over his knee as he doodles in his sketchbook. ]
Hi, [ flatly, though he glances up at the cross briefly. a slight smile. ] Couldn't stay away from the McDonald's even after yesterday either, huh?
It's not like we've got a wide range of stuff to pick from. Not gonna go back to the selfie studio after that, and this place has got a few more things to look at than the Ikea.
[ Well mods said we have it so I'm sorry this thought just came to mind and I thought it'd be funny. So Wolfwood is in the knock-off Ancient Roman section, probably around the Canals, looking at the buildings.
This also includes chipped marble statues of Roman God-built men with no clothes. ]
The hell kind of vanity project am I looking at.
[ Who are these people? Who spent time carving out their dicks? ]
[ what the fuck how did i miss this im so tired runs in. eiden is having a good old stroll by the canals, topper just vibing around his neck. when he hears wolfwood tho, he immediately beelines it because he's a creature, poking his head in to see—whoooooooa— ]
Oh wow, I thought the Christians took the dicks off of these things for modesty or whatever! Neat!
Most assholes nowadays have clothes on their statues where I'm from too, so don't worry.
There were plenty of nude statues that were done dating ages back, ancient times and shit. Some of them are really beautiful, and some of them are just... dicks out just because. [ eiden. ]
But later on, some people decided they didn't like dicks hanging out and either smashed them clean off or covered them in these fig leaves.
[ He's out here smoking somewhere that isn't the McDonalds or the Jonasseum. He's never going to return to the McDonalds again outside of being forced, all that nausea has turned him away from nuggets forever. ]
We need some place people can actually go to when they're feeling shitty.
[ Of all their locations so far and various necessities, he doubts most people will argue him on this one. Your opinion, Eiden? ]
[ no. this is absolutely fair. we actually have other places to eat and be miserable now. eiden is drowning his misery in soft serve yogurt, but like. not actually eating it, he's just stabbing it because it makes him want actual ice cream more.
looking over at wolfwood, he snorts. ]
Seriously, I could use a drink. Could get one from the Reapers I guess, but I kind of don't want to spend my money on that. I think they owe us a bar or something. Maybe an arcade.
[ At least three other people here he knows are pretty good about drinking, and that's just people who happened to mention it or he's seen it happen. ]
Arcade, huh. What're those like where you're from?
[ While I rapidly try to decide if Wolfwood knows what arcades are because of Trigun's weird future timeline and also because desert planet. ]
They're these really cool places where people can go in and play all kinds of video games... Dancing games, shooting games, adventure games. Sometimes people just go there to sit and hang out too.
[ Whichever time feels best for you/Eiden but! When he sees Eiden he'll glance over and pause. ]
Hey. Everything going alright?
[ He's been doing wellness checks on everyone and their team but he wonders if it'd be kinda rough to ask a 2-person team if their team is doing okay. Just asks Eiden instead. ]
[ MY HOT PRIEST but also eiden is just vibing here with his new hair, maybe meandering their new digs underground. it is very weird. when he's asked if everything's going alright thought, he just turns pretty quick and kind of half-smiles. ]
It's... been going, I guess? Kind of scary to be just the two of us, if I'm being real, dude.
[ you can say you are scared very confidently. it works out great. ]
w0, monuesday. moosday.
Oh shit, it's the hot priest.
[ wait did he say that out loud? ]
no subject
Thanks.
[ Apparently he's not prudish enough to be scandalised by this. He does look down at where Eiden has spilled his drink though. ]
Need some help, since it sounds like that's my fault?

He'll grab Eiden some more napkins from nearby. ]
Yeah, no kidding. At least it's a less depressing and formal first meeting than most.
no subject
he accepts this napkins gratefully. ]
Doing my best at all times, man. How's the city treating you? Did you make a team full of those stuffed sharks?

We only brought necessities 'cause of, you know, planet repopulation shit. So.
None of whatever this is.
