[In this nifty little space, I'm going to mention that Sousei and Tenka used the HOLO(gm) to make the entire apartment look closer to the shrine, complete with sliding screen doors and tatami mats. They tossed all of the chairs out the window and proceeded to get really low tables and cushions so that they could sit around as they normally do.

The kitchen is the only modern-looking part of the apartment because they realized that as much as they fail at cooking, what they have is already better than the kitchen of the shrine. They also bought a rice cooker because that's pretty important.

For now, everyone has their own room. Subject to change if this family gets bigger or they decide to knock down a wall to the next apartment over. Who knows, maybe that'll happen on accident.

Lastly, they kept the couch. Because Tenka liked it and he still claims to be The Rule.]

[Tenka watches the stare off for a second. Then like a minute.

Then nothing seems to be happening so he's choosing to intervene.

He picks one up and starts to open it. Then he sniffs it and makes a face-]

Hey, smell this.

[SHOVING IT IN SOUSEI'S FACE]

[deontology]

[NO????

He pulls back immediately, expression disgusted.]

It smells like...

[..?????]

Sugar...?

[god it smells awful]

[sunshrouded]

[It does.

And Tenka is just staring down it for a second before putting it down in front of Sousei and then picking up another colored bottle.]

That one's yours, I want the red one.

[deontology]

I'm not drinking this.

[ARE YOU KIDDING....

He stares at that bottle as if it's the Orochi itself.]

I'm not certain you should either.

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . Sousei, that doesn't make any sense.

Tenka blinks slowly for a moment before looking down at the bottle in his hands and then back up at his partner. Bottle. Partner. Bottle.]

.... Then why did you bring them home?

[deontology]

They were given to me.

[He makes a face.]

And she would not accept them back.

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . . . . . . ]

Well-

Do you wanna just waste them?

[deontology]

[...]

Is it truly a waste if they're inedible in the first place--

[That's just your bias talking, Sousei]

[sunshrouded]

Well we need to figure out if they're inedible first before we waste them!

[Amazing logic.

And still shoving one of them over to Sousei.

Yeah.]

[deontology]

[no????

Sousei stares at it disdainfully.]

No. I'm not interested.

Risk your life if you want, but I'm not joining you. [wow dramatic]

[sunshrouded]

.... Sousei, stop being afraid of a drink.

[at least tenka thinks you're supposed to drink it

maybe you're supposed to bathe in it?

are there instructions]

[deontology]

I am not.

[EXCUSE YOU... he's not afraid of anything!!!]

It is healthy caution. None of the modern things we have had here have been tolerable.

[sunshrouded]

Oh come on, you'll never know until you try!

[gonna keep nudging it toward him!!!]

Why not find out through experience?

[deontology]

If you want to find out through experience, I won't stop you.

[BUT HE'S NOT. TAKING THAT BOTTLE.

GOD.

NO. THIS IS A BAD IDEA.]

[sunshrouded]

Sousei, you're being a killjoy again! C'mon, c'mon, you're my partner - doesn't that mean we do these sort of things together?

[HE'S SO SUNNY CAN YOU SAY NO TO THIS FACE

CAN YOU REALLY]

[deontology]

What... you think I should poison myself because you want to?

[.... so why is he considering it...

he eyes that bottle with disgust (but also contemplation).]

[sunshrouded]

Shut up, it's not poison. We can split one if you're that worried about it.

[aka yes

yes he does expect you to go along with his dumb ideas just because he's the one asking]

[deontology]

[....................]

You are not going to stop until we do, are you?

[sunshrouded]

Nope!

[And he's already opening up one bottle.

DUMBASS EXTRAORDINAIRE, TENKA KUMOU EVERYBODY]

[deontology]

[..........

he's just going to grimace

and watch

and wait

why is he here. why is this his life

kiiko save him]

[sunshrouded]

[no kiiko in sight, just dumb tenka

dumb tenka now proceeding to down approximately half?? of the bottle? and then shoving it to Sousei

and maintaining a poker face right up until sousei's last swallow

except as soon as the bottle is emptied, he's making a gross choking noise]

That's awful!!

[deontology]

[Sousei just has his face in one hand, propped on the counter top. He already regrets it. He regretted it the moment he started to drink it.

Ugh god it's so bad.

So bad.]

That was stupid. [why does he let Tenka talk him into these things.] Just like I knew it would be.

[sunshrouded]

You're stupid!

[That.... came too fast.... children..... But regardless he's just going to wrinkle his nose now as he looks over the label again.

It's supposed to give you energy, right? But how....]

Feel anything?

[deontology]

[...... only his tastebuds dying in droves!!!]

No.

[he will be jittery in like ten minutes.]

I fail to see how these ingredients are supposed to give us proper energy regardless. [He...admittedly doesn't recognize some of them, but he's learned about the rest.

high fructose corn syrup]

This is mostly sugar.

[sunshrouded]

But at least sugar tastes good....

[Tenka discovered his sweet tooth in all the sugary as hell cereal he eats.

But now he's just. Shrugging.

Though the gesture might happen a bit faster and stilted than usual.

Not that he notices.]

Maybe it's a dud.
