[ HE CAN BE WHEREVER today was not particularly stressful. Hello Tama. ]

How was your booth?

[ I guess he can be cleaning up his abandoned booth, now he's gotta be responsible for this water bottle etc. ]

[ballies]

[ i truly passed out in post booster eepiness so time to make stuff up ]

I kinda flitted around other people’s booths — but it was fun either way. Did you enjoy your karaoke booth?

[ she is eyeballing (haha) his wrist. don’t worry about it ]

[unsync]

I got landed with it out of nowhere... [ Sigh. But his expression evens out quick. ] But it wasn't so bad. I've never manned one of them before, or been to any festival in a while.

[ballies]

It’s a school thing usually— or that’s one of the places you can experience them outside of the seasonal ones, right?

[ she has never run a festival booth, shocking i know. ]

But… it was fun. Especially when people really enjoyed what your booth was selling. I think I enjoyed this one more than last week’s party.

[ she is now looking at his wrist harder. ] Hmm. I think it’ll fit alright….?

[unsync]

Sometimes it'll be a local thing, or whenever there's an event. Of the traditional variety. But yeah, it's also usually a school thing too.

[ This news is surprising me greatly. ]

What're you thinking about, Tama?

[ballies]

I guess we just don’t see many of them in Tokyo — or rather we just didn’t have the time to go to them. Work is work, after all.

[ she’d wear a yukata and she’d be soooo cute.

anyway. ]

Give me your hand?

[unsync]

It's usually because we're too busy, yeah. They're not that uncommon. We don't go to Asakusa a lot, or if we do, it's on duty anyway.

[ Just gives her his hand w/e he's just used to giving Tama whatever she wants. ]

[ballies]

We should go, I want to see one for real. You have to try all the food and catch me a fish, okay?

[ a pet goldfish… they can call it something like boss the second.

anyway she’s carefully rolling a beaded bracelet over his lil thumb hole sweater sleeve. assuming he’s still in his default outfit. it has black and orange beads — some of the black ones are glittery!

yay! ]

[unsync]

Why a fish?

[ Sorry to say I have not seen a real goldfish scoop in years, granted understandable why. The last time I saw a goldfish scoop was when my Kyoto neighbourhood was still actually rural. Mr. Ryuki 'hasn't even seen a cassette tape in real life' Lastname.

Yeah he's in his default comfy outfit. ]

Oh, it's cute! Where'd you get this?

[ballies]

Isn’t that what people do at festivals? Wander around, eat candy floss or apples and get their date a fish from the scooping game?

[ she wants the full experience!!! ]

Oh. I made it at the craft shop the other day.

[unsync]

I thought it was for kids. Eating yatai food is definitely a quintessential festival thing though. And maybe some fireworks?

It looks good! Thanks, Tama.

[ballies]

I want a fish though! [ C’MOOOONNN ]

It was pretty fun to make actually. But if you break it there’ll be hell to pay.

[unsync]

B-but I don't know how to take care of one...

[ That's. Really the only thing stopping him honestly. ]

Okay, okay. I'll try not to.

[ballies]

It's not that difficult, is it? You need a tank, and some filters... and some aquatic plants... and then you feed them a couple of times a day. That's pretty easy, right?

[ she can google how to take care of a goldish when they get home ]

Good. I kinda sucked at it at first, but Hana helped me out. So... [ basically ] I worked really hard, okay?

[unsync]

That's a lot when I have a full-time job. What if something goes wrong while I'm in the office?

[ The stress!! He can't even keep a plant alive Tama!! ]

I know you did, Tama.

[ He has accepted this. ]

[ballies]

I’m pretty sure they just swim in circles for most of the day. They’re not like… a dog.

[ it’s fine!! it’s fine.

she’s going to Examine her handiwork. hehehe. ]

[unsync]

[ Just lets Tama do whatever she wants with his hand, this is fine. ]

Did you figure out how to make this yourself?

[ballies]

[ she worked hard…. let her observe what she has achieved. ]

I tried myself for a bit, but I ended up getting some help from Hana and Nimona in the end. They’re kinda fiddly to make, but fun too.

[unsync]

Do you have one?

[ballies]

No…?

[ well, not right now she doesn’t. albedo made her one later in the week. ]

[unsync]

Really? Why didn't you make one for yourself?

[ He is shocked she doesn't have one!! Wtf!! ]

[ballies]

This one took longer than I thought it would, honestly.

[ she wanted!! to make ryuki one!! ]

[unsync]

Should we get you one?

[ballies]

[ blink. ]

Oh, that’d be kinda fun. I ended up having a good time making it, so I wouldn’t might trying another.

[unsync]

Well... that's nice you had a good time.

[ He thinks this is mundane, but like, in a cute way. Is it because she had two friends there to do it with... he's so glad she's making friends.

To the Sew Crafty then before it becomes a murder site? ]
