Natsume is the last name of an author and a poet, so...

[ the LIKE VERGIL is implied. ]

[ouji4board]

[ yeah this is not the hargreeves that retained a lot of their classics training ]

Huh! So you like poetry?

[branchedout]

[ It's fine; it would be more embarrassing if he understood. Playing it cool! ]

It's not bad, I guess. I asked for suggestions from folks, but in the end, I picked one myself.

[ouji4board]

Whatever you like best, right?

[branchedout]

Exactly. Wanna keep sittin' here or feel like gettin' some fresh air?

[ouji4board]

Air sounds good. You wanna go anywhere in particular?

[branchedout]

More snacks and some drinks at the conbini.

[ouji4board]

Ooooh, yeah okay!

[branchedout]

Fresh air's always good. We can eat outside somewhere.

[ouji4board]

Oh, I want chips!

[branchedout]

Let's get all the chips, then.

[ouji4board]

Oh, and chocolate milk!

[branchedout]

They've got that. Banana milk and strawberry milk, too.

[ to the Conbini!! ]

[ouji4board]

Is this, like, a Japanese thing? Flavored milk?

[branchedout]

Prolly. [ squints as he thinks about it and walks through the conbini door. ]

It makes sense t'me anyway. I'm guessin' it's not a thing where you're from?

[ouji4board]

Nope! I'm gonna chalk it up to my super unusual upbringing!

[ waves absently. you saw the memories o/" ]

[branchedout]

That's a mighty generous way of putting it. But I can't judge.

The chips're o'er here.

[ a whole aisle of chips. ]

[ouji4board]

What are steak flavored chips?

[branchedout]

Prolly a beef and garlic flavor.

Can't be as bad as these.

[ shakes a bag of durian flavored chips. ]

[ouji4board]

What's that?

[branchedout]

It's this fruit that smells like rotten eggs.

[ouji4board]

Ew, whaaat.

[branchedout]

It's prolly something like fruit evolving in the hopes that folks'd find the smell 'n the fact one fallin' outta tree could kill people unappetizing, and humans said, "challenge accepted."

[ putting it back politely. ]

[ouji4board]

Humans are weird as hell! Let's get it!
