[ kazu's just chilling on this nice, amber blanket, staring up at the stars, uncharacteristically quiet. ]

[georeject]

[...

when clarte is done bullying (?) garou, they will sit down near kazunari and hold out a painkiller or two, if he wants it.]

[dms]

[ ...shakes his head. ]

S'okay. Doc gave me some already. But thanks.

[georeject]

All right. Well, if you need any, feel free to say so. I generally keep a stock on me.

[9mon]

[He sits next to Kazu, looks up for a moment before back to him.]

... Do you wanna talk about it?

[dms]

[ he thinks about this for a long few moments. ]

...We were supposed to be heroes. Fighting monsters, I guess. You were, too.

[9mon]

[slightly... confused? And then a tiredness.]

It made it seem like I was there, huh...? It really likes that trick.

[dms]

[ nods slowly. ]

Hottie was there, so I - I thought it really was you, too.

[9mon]

[Hm... Don't appreciate it using his likeness like that.]

It wasn't. I promise I'm alright.

[He reaches for his hand and squeezes it lightly.]

[dms]

[ appreciative vibes. ]

I know. [ a little squeeze back. ] Sorry for worrying you.

[9mon]

It's not your fault. The important part is you came back.

[A gentle feeling of relief.]

[furrier]

[ perks up from a distance ]

[dms]

[ tiredly, because he knows just enough about garou to be curious: ]

You ever meet God?

[furrier]

No. [ He heard a little of the nonsense from Hot Pants. ] I didn't even know it was real.

[dms]

It wasn't very helpful.

[ blandly. ]

Just... kept asking what we were.

[ there's a roll of apprehension after that, and he doesn't continue. ]

[furrier]

[ he's SO CONFUSED but also... apprehensive too

like it strikes a little too close to home ]

It was just messing with you.

[georeject]

[there's a flicker of something in clarte's emotions, but they're also listening to this exchange.]

[dms]

[ curious? what is this, clarten?? ]

[georeject]

[nothing it's fine]

[gogoghostpowers]

Hey, uhh...you okay? You don't need to be over in the medbay instead?

[dms]

[ mmmmmmmm ]

Probably. But I'll go back later.

[ he's not saying "if i'm alive" but he is lowkey feeling it. ]

[gogoghostpowers]

[ well that's a sobering vibe to be receiving. ]

...you really wanted to spend the night on the beach, huh?

[ with an unspoken "in case you die tonight." ]

[dms]

[ yeah, sorry about that. he'd stop it if he could, but he's just too tired. ]

Yeah. I like the beach. I've missed it, before this week.

[ there is a vaguely pleasant feeling as he says that, at least. ]

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah? Did you go to the beach a lot, before?

[dms]

Summer birthday? [ a soft laugh. ] Yeah. We always liked to come and set off fireworks on the beach at night. It's fun to see how it reflects on the water.
