how we doin, Taisho

[rollplayinghouse]

Who: Taisho (and anyone who wants to check on them)
Where: Taisho dorms
When: Day 66, late morning

[Maki ultimately spent the night at Future is Now, but in the morning she finally takes everyone's advice and returns to Taisho. She is fully grayscale at this point, and also looks... a bit darker, maybe? Like she's standing in a shadow, or someone moved the brightness slider down slightly.

She changes back into a Taisho outfit before coming back to the common area.]

So... does anyone have thoughts on doing better at unit unity.

Sometimes intentions aren't enough. And sometimes even the best of them can hurt others, and people need time to process that.

[sonof]

[ he like

lets his gaze slide away and takes a moment before answering but ]

Intentions aren't enough to prevent or solve every hurt or problem, no.

Neither do I expect anyone to get over any point of dispute immediately, or wouldn't I be a hypocrite myself.

[ there's a "but" in there somewhere but honestly he hit the point of not wanting to talk anymore so instead, abruptly, turning on his heel ]

Come take a walk with me, if you would. I need a smoke.

[bluerosestyle]

.......

Sure.

[will follow]

[sonof]

[ pads towards his room to fetch his pipe and tobacco ]

Do you smoke? Or would you like anything to eat?

[ mumbling almost to himself ]

[bluerosestyle]

[?

he just caught the first part]

Me? No, I don't smoke...

[sonof]

[ resting the pipe in his teeth and pulling out his phone ]

Bread?

[bluerosestyle]

It's--

[no wait


hmm]




Thank you.

[sonof]

[ buys some bread and fetches it from the dropbox on his way out to the landing, offering it out to him as he waits for the elevator to come ]

Though I suppose Ken was the only one to complain when I smoked inside before. Thank you for agreeing to accompany me.

[bluerosestyle]

[takes it...

he would complain too, but he's said too much today so he won't. point that out.]

Mm. I don't mind, and... leaving for a while is probably for the best.

[sonof]

I'm not very good with groups, anyway.

[ heads into the elevator and taps the button for the lobby. leans against a wall and takes the pipe out of his mouth before answering, stalling idly ]

Do you know, aside from you, the only other people who have said to me that they'd like us to be closer are Fox and Marin.

[bluerosestyle]

...

I knew Fox used to want that.

[sonof]

"Used to."

[bluerosestyle]

I don't know how he feels about that now.

[sonof]

Are you willing to speak with him about it? And work with him if he still wishes for the same goal as you do?

[bluerosestyle]

. . . If he wants to, yeah.

[sonof]

Then I suppose that’s what matters most.

[ stepping out as the elevator doors slide open, bringing out his tobacco jar to start packing the pipe ]
