<mynameiskirby> NO PROBLEMO always happy to accommodate!

[gourmandofthestars]

[Oh right I… totally forgot about the timeloop when I sent this. We’ll just retroactively assume Kirby added a maybe? to the end of his initial message or something lol.]

yeah it was really strange!
everything kept repeating!!!

oh are you moving somewhere?
thats exciting!
we can throw a housewarming/belated birthday party!

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

You mean you have a dive instinct?

However long it is, it's almost definitely going to be more than a bathtub. You should probably try to be careful.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

I am. It's at Merain, so it'll be closer to water.

Oh.

A housewarming party?

I've never seen one of those before. How do they work?

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

maybe? i think it's more like... i keep thinking that things seem too bright? that maybe dark, deep water would be better.

[Away from the sun. Dark and deep. Deep under the sea, for example... ...the instincts of a deep sea-dwelling fish are hard to ignore.]

yeah i think i need to find something better soon.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Maybe a cave that boats can enter?

I think there's at least one here.

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

that could be cool! i kind of want to stay in bavan somehow... there's a lot of people that need help...

maybe i can find a park with a pond? but that wouldn't be very deep.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

I know it can't be Central Park. It's a mess there.

There should be at least one park where you could pull it off though- some ponds even have synthetic caves, which could offer shade properly.

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

if i have to, i'll go back to that pool we arrived in. that should be long enough. haha...

i'll try looking. bavan's bigger than any city i've been in, so it should have at least one more park. i've been exploring a bit.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

That's probably not a great idea.

It definitely has more than one. I've been to at least two. I could help look?

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

if you can keep an eye out, i'd appreciate it!

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Got it, I'll let you know.

I guess hang in there until then?

I really wish I had better advice.

<mynameiskirby>

[gourmandofthestars]

i think its kinda just like a regular party
but you hold it in a new house!
you invite your friends and there are snacks and games and sometimes presents!

itll be lots of fun!

[Said as though it happening is already a foregone conclusion.]

[softspokenlandlord]

before i came here, power didn't mean much to me. the only reason i wanted it here was to prevent bad things happening to people close to me.

[He knew his turning point, he remembers it clearly. And it hadn't been solely for his own sake that he'd gone to the Fog seeking strength.]

still...the best i can do at this point is to try and repair the damage i've caused. damage that i wish i hadn't caused in the first place, but which i can't pretend wouldn't have been caused anyway.

slides a link over w a big ol tomato,

[seacub]

[COME ON IN KIRBYYYYY]

Huh.

It might be too close to the start of the month for a whole party in that case but I could invite people and see what happens.

I know people tend to get pretty antsy and busy around now though.

[.......................]

If you want I can tell you where my new address is and you can come over?

[seacub]

How did that turn out?

[It's rude. It's a low blow. He knows it is.

Ryou can probably relate to not really giving much of a shit about that.]

Is that a way of justifying it, or a way of saying 'this way things might get fixed after'?

<TheCoolestTurtle> March 26th

[makesascene]

hey

hey

hey

hey

hey

Scoots

come over to my cool house

or else

[seacub]

[?!?!]

You got a house?

Where is it?

[makesascene]

Bucky bought it from Mana, apparently.

Bavan, like smack dab in the middle. City center, baby!

[seacub]

I will visit only before the 4th then, since Bavan seems to like turning upside down for a whole week every month from that day on.

City center though huh? Mana knows how to get around land costs I see.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[He's had a few days to get descrungled from the Cube and well... He owes a few people apologies, and one of them is Emporio.]

Hey uh Scoots... I'm sorry for not showing up when I said I would and ditching you like I did.

[He's bad at this, if that isn't obvious.]

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[Emporio doesn't know what to say to this. He finds himself glaring at the screen in silence for a few long minutes, tucked partly into his shell as he stares from in his attic.

...

....he still doesn't know what to do. How to say it. How...]

You didn't even message. It was hours, and in the end Nanami just told me you forgot.

I just don't understand.

[makesascene]

Valid, valid, valid. You don't wanna get caught up in whatever the fog is planning on doing this time.

Mana knows what's lit, us.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Hoo boy, he didn't think Emporio waited for hours for him to show up. Now he feels even worse.]

I have... this thing where I kind of get obsessed with stuff and just forget about everything around me, and really that's no excuse for what I did either just. An explanation.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

If you know it's a problem, why not warn someone?

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Because he's an idiot who doesn't think about that kind of thing, Emporio.]

Usually... I'm a bit too deep into whatever it is that's caught my attention.
