[Somewhere in the night, there is an elaborate text message waiting for the recipient.]

☆ Congratulations! ☆

You've been cordially invited to Spa LaQua, a special hot spring resort where you can soak all your troubles away! Get a spa treatment, have a massage, dine like a king! With all the trouble that's been happening lately, this is an invitation you just can't refuse.

May 20th, afternoon. Now don't be late!

♡ Sheryl

Davesprite,

I was informed that you are a musician? Would you be willing to perform for a potentially large group of people? I am organizing a gathering on the Sixth and I would like to provide musical entertainment of a wide variety.

Please inform me at your earliest convenience, thank you.

Sincerely,
Lady Sansa Stark

[redotiertwo]

wow i think this is the politest internet message ive ever gotten

yeah im a musician
i wasnt sure youd want someone playing the style of music i do since you were asking for bards
but if you want variety then im down
im pretty sure ive worked my tools of the trade out enough by now to perform for a crowd

[stonebird]

I would not be impolite since I am asking you a favor! (She would not be rude anyway most likely.)

I am eager to hear your music, actually. Not everyone comes from a land like mine and I have an open mind.

[redotiertwo]

you would be surprised how many people dont understand
that being impolite is a really great way to not get people to do what youre asking them to do

its probably going to sound pretty different to what youre used to
but its the kind of thing that gets people moving
so it should get some good dance happening

[stonebird]

I cannot blame you for denying their wishes, yet there are times that, rude or not, another's request cannot be ignored. I have been forced to comply in the past and I would not do that to someone else.

I could not ask for more.

[redotiertwo]

well i mean if theyve got you by the short and curlies
theyre not really going to care about tone are they
but i get it

ok ill be there
good luck with the other party stuff i guess

There are cookies.

[redotiertwo]

yes
i can confirm cookies exist
we are blessed to be in this plane of existence where cookies grace us with their transcendent presence
and we can fucking surround ourselves with their goodness as all cookies are created equal
except raisin cookies
fuck those

anyway what about there being cookies

[kokuyoyo]

[what the fuck, davesprite]

These don't have raisins. They have icing.

[redotiertwo]

ok so
im assuming the original message was meant to be 'i made cookies'
if im supposed to be picking them up then im gonna need to know if theyre at the temple of the one of your gods i actually know
because i refuse to go on a lord of the rings style epic search for your other gods temple
even if it is for cookies

[kokuyoyo]

I could force Hakkai to take them to the school.
Since he's back now.

[redotiertwo]

oh so he finally decided to show up did he
ive been to his temple once more than ive been to the school so
temple is probably better

[kokuyoyo]

Alright but he won't be coming out probably.
Ayumu tried to break his nose when she saw him.

[redotiertwo]

jesus
i was just going to offer to punch him
but obviously shes got that covered

[kokuyoyo]

She did that too. It was right in his solar plexus from what I could see.

[There's a brief pause.]

I think she's evicting him from the temple

[redotiertwo]

what the fuck reality tv show is this
cheaters
id ask if you were filming it but from the sound of things shed probably evict you as well
or beat the shit out of you
or both

[kokuyoyo]

If I was expecting it and hadn't had to get Ken out of the room, I would have.

Ken wanted to run up to him in excitement even when Ayumu was punching him. I don't think he noticed what she was doing.

[redotiertwo]

wow
i mean i know hes your paramour and everything but
wow

[kokuyoyo]

[There's a four minute break in responses, because, uninfluenced by anything, Chikusa has no idea how to respond to this.]

It's not as if he could have known why Hakkai appearing and amnesiac would be a bad thing. He's stupid.

[redotiertwo]

[He'll wait. And also note this as a victory.]

well
good luck with that my dude
the oblivious ones are always the hardest

[kokuyoyo]

Shut up.

[Fuck you for being single, Davesprite.]

I take back the cookie offer.

[redotiertwo]

rude
im just giving you some friendly life advice
from an experienced romantic

[kokuyoyo]

Since when are you experienced?

[redotiertwo]

since i remembered my last girlfriend
which was a while ago
didnt end well but that doesnt mean im not experienced
