week two, monday

[digestif]

[ with all the new space offered up to them, it's easy for Mizuki to find Senri somewhere they don't think the two of them will be interrupted - out in the near-infinite neighborhood streets, Mizuki quietly and inconspicuously follows him for a while before finally calling out. They're not stalking, just... biding their time! There's a difference. ]

Hey there, little rabbit. Got a minute?

Comments

[usogi]

... mm, I know that, but hearing it from someone else really doesn't make it any easier.

[he wishes it did!!]

I guess I just keep hoping that there'll be a way to play this game so we can all get to win...

[digestif]

It would be nice if that was the case... But it wouldn't be much of a competition if it were. The game won't end until there's a singular winner, to the best of our knowledge.

[ they understand Senri's sentiments; they just also happen to be a realist. ]

[usogi]

Mm, that's true but... I was told that if we all just switch to one team, then that'd be enough. But everyone thinks that idea won't work either....

[and he siiiighs.]

Well, I guess I'll keep having to look for loopholes. If Mizuki-san can think of anything, I'd appreciate the help... I'm really not that good at this kind of thing.

[digestif]

[ they laugh slightly under their breath. ]

Hmm... How about joining up with my side, then?

[usogi]

[senri tilts his head]

I think that depends on which side that is.....

[digestif]

[ at that, Mizuki laughs, then gently prods Senri's forehead with their index finger. ]

You're cute. It's a shame such a cute boy is stuck in your position, Nito-kun. [ they take a step back, tucking their hands back into their pockets after giving him a small wave. ] I'm sure if you give it some thought, you'll find the answers... Well, that's all I wanted to hear from you. Take care, little rabbit.

[ and just like that, they turn to begin leaving. ]

[usogi]

[oh.

he flushes under the attention because senri is useless at the end of the day, his hand coming up to where mizuki poked him and he's still too flustered for a second to respond? just give him some attention and this is what happens...]

A-Ah...

See you later, Mizuki-san! Thank you for talking to me...

[even if he's embarrassed now]
