@phantoania replied ; doppo confirmed monster energy drinker??? mt dew drinker maybe even?????

ALL OF THEM!! anything that has caffeine and can keep him awake is good to go, even if the energy drink in question was incredibly sweet (he's not really a fan of drinks/food that are too sweet) he would still gulp that up, even if it tasted like medicine; the downside of all of this is that once a certain amount of time passes, he crashes down anywhere! in the subway, on the ground, in a toilet seat, you name it

"gah! you do not play fair, dark! you know I can't focus enough to chase you right now!" the rather drunken hero wails and whines, her face a ruddy red beneath white beret and matching scarf. you could almost mistake her as being simply a bit too bundled up in the cold air of winter, even though she dresses rather light this evening. but the peculiar hiccups that leave her offer a hint to why pepsha is so rosy cheeked. and the near empty bottle dark has in his hands, keeping it firmly out of her reach, up in the sky as he is.

"at least let me have one last whiff of it, please?"

@phantoania

' the fact you can't chase me is proof you've been drinking too much , isn't it ?! fairness has nothing to do with it ! ' he roars at her right back ! at this altitude it's easy to watch her stagger and stumble . what should have been straight lines goes in dizzy swoops and drunken curls instead . in the impulse of the moment , azumano's great phantom thief considers throwing the bottle against solid brick or cement where it'd shatter outright , whatever sloshing liquid was inside left to evaporate or freeze in the cold of the winter around them .

dark already knows there's practically no sobering her up : rarely even for a little , absolutely never for good . another bottle would surely find its way into her grasp one way or another , but at least not around him while he was here ! ' if you want a whiff that badly , just cover your mouth and smell your breath . ' she reeked , but even something like that was too harsh to say to a girl , even if it was the truth , and even if she was drunk enough that after one nap , she probably wouldn't even remember a single word .

not just of any scolding , but even his heartfelt worries , too --- !

' the only thing i'm handing you is a glass of water ! ' if only he could have used his magic to turn liquor into plain liquid , or to somehow flush and cleanse the other's overworked liver . there were hardly any tricks and miracles for things like this ... not to mention pepesha was surely seeing doubles of him already . ' go lie down ! on your side ! stop stumbling around in the cold , it's not as warm as you think ! i'm going to get rid of this crap --- ' and between the two of them , he couldn't believe that pepesha was supposed to be considered the adult , here !

teru vc. if dark-san has a million people who think he's nice, then i'm one of them. if dark-san has one person who thinks he's nice, then i'm THAT ONE. if dark-san has no one who thinks he's nice, that means i'm dea—

@phantoania

don't you dare finish that sentence

[dnangelic]

teru vc wrow dark-san it's kind of neat how good you pass as an 80s era visual kei band member, kinda scary, actually,

@phantoania

well obviously everybody took inspiration from him because why wouldn't they ? he makes it look easy and everybody wants to be dark mousy . how do you know anything about the 80s though teru weren't you like a twirly haired baby or still an imaginary blip in the universe ---

[dnangelic]

teru vc dark-san can you talk like a normal person my co-workers have conspiracy boards up about how you're evil :(

@phantoania

' teru , ' ( d-dark , no ! ) ' i don't know how to break it to you , but i am evil . your co-workers are right . '

' --- buuuuut they'll never be able to catch me either , so it's okay !! '

"daisuke-san! daisuke-san!" teru is all but jumping up and down excitedly in spirit as she tries to to not be too obvious in her cheer as she calls out to her friend, her smile giddy like the child she is. "there's this new movie coming out tonight, i was wondering if you'd wanna watch it over the weekend at my place? pepesha-san will also be dropping by to cook some stuff for me to eat over the next few days, so i thought it'd be nice if you could hang out too!" it's rare she gets the chance to have her home occupied by anyone else who isn't herself and ebio-san, so it's only reasonable that she'd get so happy over the idea of having others to speak with and enjoy time with, even if it'll be just for a day. "oh, and the movie isn't too scary, so you don't have to worry! it's just some ghosts but it's a kind of comedic sort? from what i've been reading online, anyway. i think you'd like it!"

he can't really say no to something like this , can he ? just seeing teru looking so excited made his feelings flutter a little too . the smile on her face , the hop in her step , the lilt in her voice and the light in her eyes --- there's no way he could disappoint her . that's why , before he even knows it , his head is nodding and he agrees .

' should i ... should i bring something too ? ' his face scrunches immediately at his own question . ' no , sorry . my mom's kind of --- ' ah , it wasn't a matter of bringing something , but a question of just how much he would end up bringing . being a good guest was just as important as being a good host , and in the end , despite the way his nervous expression accompanies the shift of a hand over the space of his heart , he can't lie to himself .

he's really happy too .

no matter how little time his life allowed him to freely spend , he'd always have preferred to visit someone than visit , say , a museum , once again stealing away something while a thousand cameras and a doubled number of eyes kept their gazes on him . as for the movie itself , how should he have put it ?

' i mean , i'm ... not a baby ... ' he's aware how pathetic he must sound , feebly trying to stand up for himself . ' there are just some things that i can't watch . like , um ... teru-san , since you're a hero , you've probably seen lots of people get hurt before , right ? or ... they've been in danger , ' even he , the phantom thief , had witnessed his own intimate sufferings in the past --- things that he didn't like to be reminded of , memories that readily brought a heavy longing and grief .

' y-you don't have to answer if you don't want to . i'm just ... kind of curious . what do you like horror so much for ? even if it's fake , for me , it's hard to watch anyone be scared or suffer while i can't do anything . ' ah , but that might have been besides the point . ' a-anyway , i appreciate you trying to warn me and make me feel better and everything . ' a soft , flushed smile presents itself to her .

' i'll definitely show up , okay ? thank you --- thanks for inviting me . '
