[Masque, Day 6] "This is probably silly, but I hope Pingo stays safe tomorrow."

[Masque, Prayer Day 6] "Let me grasp the future with my own two hands. I don't hope it's bright anymore, I already know that it'll be if I stay by Arita's side. And Minako, and the others, I know we'll get the guy that's responsible for all this."

[Masque, D5] "Y-yeah! I thought I'd be staying in my little 'stick with what you know' shell, but it looks like fate had other ideas in store. Plus I'm doing you a big disservice not to try everything on the menu here, eventually! I really couldn't have made it this far without your support Tatsuya, it means a lot to me." They blink at how direct the words pouring out of them sound, but grin. Being confident isn't so bad either.

Is positively glowing with how proud and happy he is with Masque. “Games are sort of like that, taking what you think you’ll stay with and letting it grow into something better. Choice in menu items included of course.” He says with a laugh.

“It’s the least I can do to help you all.” Besides the ice skewering of Taboo Noise but that’s not here and now

[Masque, Day 5] "I guess while I'm here, can I also pick up some Miso Ramen? And maybe a few more for Arita too, thanks!" (Miso Ramen x5, -1000 yen please)

“And to think, when we first had you trying my cooking, you wanted nothing to do with the salty ramen. Look where you are now.” He chuckles, standing over the pot with some to-go containers to the side.

“I really am so proud of you Masque. You’re doing great and I look forward to seeing you all win. Maybe I’ll think up a proper reward for your victory, how does that sound?”

[Masque, Day 6] (5x Insta-Noodles please, Big Smack Down coming into your submit box toDAY. -750 yens)

Tatsuya is warming up in the back right now, so the Popguin with the aviator cap, Adelie is handling your order. You should feel honored, because she takes great care and time with your order to make sure it’s at the same quality of producter her master always gives you.

Please do say hi to him. He misses you, small masked one.

-Masque Bought Insta-noodles x 5

[Masque, Prayer Day 5] They gently banging their head against the wall. All that fighting, training, and bettering themselves to protect their Partner, and this is their entry fee?! Masque screams wordlessly into the night, a wordless plea for a break and a solemn vow to punch whoever was responsible for this.

[Masque, to Sol Day 5] Masque walks in again, but they're hunched over and twitchy. When they see Sol, a flash of recognition crosses their face, followed by a hint of anger, then pain, before they avert their face. They bring up the #048 Skirt Bondage Combo to the counter before not-so-gently pressing the 5160 amount next to it with trembling fingers. "Please," they growl, almost too quiet to make out. Hopefully they'll be out the store before they punch someone.

Well... That’s certainly weird, Sol thinks as he processes the order. But so is everything else that’s happened in the last day, really, and he can only panic about one thing at a time. “Masque...? Are you alright?” he asks, frowning.“You know what...” He reaches over to the cake stand, and retrieves a single Chocolate Cake Slice. “Why don’t you take this, too? On the house.” Cake always makes him feel better, anyway.

[Masque to Sol, cont. from Day 4] "Definitely! I've decided that my past shouldn't define me and I really shouldn't get hung up on it. Take those steps forward and don't look back, right? Anyway it was nice to meet you Sol-san, I'll tell my partner to stop in and say hello too!" They wave happily after exchange farewell pleasantries. Hopefully another good day lies ahead!

Sol waves as they go! “It was nice to meet you, too!”
