dimitri already coverd the magic rocks
so lets talk about the POWER PLANT

minato-kun, kaito-kun, and i have struck a deal with Li'l Oozie an Friends
theyve agreed to cooperate with any plan US 3 come up with
tget Big Oozie out of the Power Plant

theyve also agreed to B my taste testers so

or ELSE ɷ◡ɷ

"taste testers for WHAT nao???????????????"

tldr
im workin on developing a tasty bargining chip 2 negotiate a long term truce with em
yea they were willin to entertin the idea of a long term truce
just not for bloody bread

its gotta B tastier than humans ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌

so yea demohuman cafe maybe

btw they prefer SP or blood str8 if ur lookin 2 negotiate
if u dont know what SP is
its spiritual power, spirital energy, mana, whatevs
and yeah everybodys got it even if u arent Awakened or dont kno how to channel it

if u dont uh

neway the CHIP might come n handy wit other Dmons too

and teh oozies dont mind if the powerplant is up and running
since thats their fave hangout
its bettr if we dont have to fite them every time we gotta go there
espcially when were tryin to get it up and running
they said not as many demons might show up if its bright and they dont think
any Dmns outside town would mind so much 2 attak bc of the light

NOW PAY EXTRA ATTENTION this is IMPORTANT

if at ANY POINT a Dmon has told u ur blood or SP is NASTY

ESPECIALLY if u talked to Big Oozie

my 1st plan is to try and find out what he likes
see if sumbody can contract him bc
1 hes huge so he mite be stronger but more importantly

[It took Tsubaki a moment to respond because instead, she's more entertained by the other comments and laughing under her breath.]

Of all the things you could take from this, that's the important keynote here?

[It's not teasing... yet... but it is a jab nonetheless.]

There's only one way to find out. Maybe you should go and ask her?

[There's the teasing, but only lightly. She'll help him out if he needs it.]

[enflowers]

NO WAY!

[ Look, he's even using all caps. ]

I'm certainly no stranger to sweet-talking women and/or faeries, but in this case? I'd rather not increase the chances of negotiations going sideways! The fae folk are capable of some seriously scary stuff if you get on their wrong side.

[ Even if the queen is "just" Titania or Queen Mab/Medb and not an alternate universe version of the one person he is trying to actively avoid/will try to kill or trap him minute 0, and even if he's actually much better at handling faeries than most people due to being neighbors with them normally, he'd rather let the royalty handle the royal negotiations. Just in case that small possibility of her popping up comes true. ]

I literally just noticed I accidentally deleted this at some point oops.

[dancinglight]

You could always try after negotiations.

[Yeah, she's still teasing. But it's good that he was aware of the possible outcome if they were to mess up negotiations.]

pats, it's ok

[enflowers]

That's if they go smoothly. Pretty big "if" there.

Wow, glad to know that people here have such a vested interest in my love life, for whatever reason... (￢_￢;)

[ He can't lay on the sarcasm, digitally, any thicker in that kaomoji if he tried. ]

[dancinglight]

[It took her a moment to respond because she was busy chuckling to herself.]

Well what else is there to do in a place like this than to support each other in such endeavors?

[Sorry, Merlin.]

[enflowers]

Something besides "Keeping Up With Caster", preferably!

How about some analog games? A good board or card game sounds like a better time to me.

[ Game night... ]

[dancinglight]

My my... Are you feeling timid, Caster?

[She'll eventually let him off the hook, but not without a small jab first.]

What kind of games?

[Did this place even have anything? Not that she'd know about them anyway.]

[enflowers]

I'll say this much, it's far more awkward being the one watched than being the one watching.

[ Shoe's on the other foot and he doesn't like it. You're all supposed to be watched by him, not the other way around. The audacity of this place to nerf him so. ]

An excellent question.

I spotted a few boxes of what seemed to be cards and board games while trawling some of the housing, but didn't think to take them at the time. Maybe it'd be worth trying to scavenge some if there are enough people interested. See if they've got the casino classics like poker and blackjack here.

[dancinglight]

[Maybe he'll understand how it feels to be on the other side of it now? At the very least, she's sure that everyone is likely doing it out of genuine teasing rather than anything meant to be harmful.]

I can't say I'm familiar with those kinds of games, but they sound like a good way for people to relax from their daily lives.

[Everyone needed a break occasionally.]

[enflowers]

[ At the end of the day, he's not bothered in the least, not thinking of himself as someone who has a heart to hurt in the first place, as well as having shrugged off (and doled out) his fair share of teasing to and fro with his old companions. ]

Right? Wouldn't it be nice to have a game or two to take one's mind off of things? Too bad there isn't much to bet with, here.

[ No currency, no casino chips, and there's not much point in betting supplies if pooling everything communally is more conducive to overall survival compared to hoarding, anyway. ]

[dancinglight]

Mayhaps we should do a night where we get together with everyone for some games? We don't necessarily need to gamble to enjoy them, right?

[enflowers]

[ While he himself might prefer to add some stakes to make games more interesting, the point still stands there isn't much point or many resources to bet with in the first place. (...Besides, he can always suggest some light betting later down the line, if it happens that some people get more competitive than they bargain for or even know.) ]

Not a bad idea at all. Get enough people with the appetite for it, get a game night going.

[ Just like their regular game nights back in Chaldea. ]

And for those who might be more reluctant to partake, it can also serve as training. After all, it's better to sharpen skills like bluffing and analysis in a situation where your life's NOT on the line.

[dancinglight]

I think it would be good for morale as well.

[Was it time to play Monopoly and have everyone hate each other for it? I think so.]

It would be a treat after our now daily lives. When do you think would be best?
