double your live, double your fun

[unbr8kable]

Who: Everyone
Where: Just outside the hotel
When: Day 30, early morning

[There're a table and some chairs set up outside of the front entrance. Hurricane and Nemesis are seated there like those kids looking for passers-by to sign their petitions or sponsor animals. A modest sign in front says "Free Cheer"]

Buttpats! Get'cher buttpats here!

Pep talks, dude, don't give people the wrong idea.

It's not for us to say what motivates people. I mean, in this case it kind of literally is, but whatever.

Anyway, stop on by and gimme a couple of words. Whatever you pick, I’ll do the whole motivational speech thing about it.

And I swear to help out, or if there's something else you need, I guess. Either way, points.

[The app indicates this is a double live.]

[is leaving, looking rather thoughtful, when he literally bumps into the table.]

Oh, I'm, ah, sorry.

[crossmyheartandhope]

No problem, dude. Guess we are kind of in the way, huh?

[forgottenmercy]

Oh, ah, no, I should have been paying more attention.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Nah. I mean, we're the ones who stuck a table here, right?

[forgottenmercy]

It was, ah, avoidable.

[crossmyheartandhope]

We'll go farther to the side next time, though. Kay?

[forgottenmercy]

And I'll, ah, try not to be so clumsy.

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's cool, dude. No worries.

[forgottenmercy]

It's, still, ah, something for me to work on. [tries not to yawn.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...tired? It is kinda early, huh?

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, don't like getting up in the mornings...

[crossmyheartandhope]

How come?

[forgottenmercy]

I don't, ah, know. I'm just a, ah, night person, I guess.

[unbr8kable]

Watch your step there. Everything alright?

[forgottenmercy]

Everything's, ah, alright.

[unbr8kable]

...Can't say I'm the most empathetic person in the world but kinda looks like everything is in fact not alright?

[forgottenmercy]

Oh, I was, ah, just distracted thinking. Everything's, ah, alright.

[unbr8kable]

Distracted about what. Go on, sit down, you may as well get it off your chest to someone with no skin in the game.

[forgottenmercy]

It's, ah, nothing important. Ah, thank you, though.

[unbr8kable]

You want the points or what?

[forgottenmercy]

...I, ah, do, but...hmm.

If I, ah, don't want to talk about what I'm distracted by, can I ask for help with something else instead?

[unbr8kable]

...Guess so. I mean, it doesn't even have to be a real problem. Just...motivation-y.

[forgottenmercy]

Um, in that case, if it doesn't have to be a problem...I really, ah, don't like getting up in the morning.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, getting up sucks. What if you just didn't?

[forgottenmercy]

If I, ah, want to go to the onsen, I have to get up, unfortunately.
