[transparentanswer]

...Dangerzone.

Do you have a second to talk?

[secretingredients]

[ Indeed, here he is! ]

Sure, what's up!

[transparentanswer]

This is a pretty fucking wild shot in the dark but...

Do you speak Latvian?

[secretingredients]

[ He pauses for a second. That's a super suspicious pause because he's an awful liar. ]

Uh, wow, why'd you ask?

[transparentanswer]

...That's a yes, then?

[secretingredients]

[ He sighs. ]

...Yeah. I was learning it, but I haven't practiced in a long time.

[ You made him sad. ]

[transparentanswer]

[...Awkwardly pats Thug on the back.]

Why'd you decide to start learning it?

[secretingredients]

[ That helps, actually. A little. ]

Someone important to me spoke Latvian. I wanted to be able to make him feel at home.

[transparentanswer]

Oh yeah? [Patpat...If he keeps patting him, will he keep telling him things? Let's find out. Thank god he's easier than Starshine.]

Who was it? [Santa...?]

slides into your dms for wednesday also, sup

[doublesmall]

[guess what time it is, it's time to catch up with his favorite information source! wherever thug can be found hanging out, here's chuuya. he has another glass of that whole ass bottle of wine he stole and at this point he's just seeing how many times he can do this before thug notices.

he might share, maybe.]

How's that Christmas spirit doing? Still pretty good?

[secretingredients]

[ Thug's chillin' in the kitchen, cooking... whatever he's cooking. Something's in the oven and it smells good. ]

Ah!! You're the one who's been stealing those!

[ Starshine totally told him but he was giving Chuuya the benefit of the doubt. Shame on him. ]

[doublesmall]

Honestly, I was waiting to see how long 'til you caught on.

[he's a shit and i'm sorry...

but he adds as he takes another sip-]

You have good taste, though. I'll still share, just for that-- I've got another bottle too if you want to try it.

[this is 100% bribery but it's fine.]

[secretingredients]

Well, they kinda keep replenishing so it's not a huge deal, but it's the principle of the thing!

[ Honestly, Chuuya!!! But then he's also super easy to bribe. ]

Sure, I'll have a glass. I have to wait on my roast, anyhow.

[doublesmall]

Do they? I thought Starshine said it was a special order kind of thing.

[but also they can go outside now so like, it's not totally weird, he supposes. maybe they arrive somehow.]

[secretingredients]

Oh... I guess it depends on the vintage.

[ He's gonna go back and check. The cheap wine replenishes, the fancy stuff.... ]

Damn, you had to take the oldest ones?

[doublesmall]

It's the closest to what I'm used to-- but I only took one of 'em, so if more went missing, you're going to have to look at someone else.

[he'll shrug and leave it at that for a second while he fetches the bottle he mentioned! bless kantera's heart for handing over his wine. chuuya pours a glass for him and hands it over.]

[secretingredients]

Ah, so you're a man of expensive tastes, huh?

[ Don't talk about wines, no one wants to be that bored, Thug. ]

It might've been Starshine, she likes messing with me. [ He sighs. ] It's been like that ever since we slept together. Or since we became brother and sister? I forget.

[ The answer is both and this is Starshine gossip power hour. ]

Tuesday night, week 3

[transparentanswer]

Thug.

We need to talk.

[secretingredients]

Yikes, that's never good. What's wrong, Shintaro?

[transparentanswer]

Everything.


...And have you seen the house, lately?

[secretingredients]

Ugh, yeah. It's awful, isn't it? All the food's gone bad!

[transparentanswer]

...Can you get serious?

Does this happen every time?

[secretingredients]

I'm being serious. If all the food goes bad, what are you guys gonna eat?

[ Food is very serious. ]

[transparentanswer]

[Snapping his fingers in Thug's face.]

Stay with me! Does this happen every time?

[secretingredients]

Uh, right!

[ Ok, you have his attention. ]

I mean, yeah. This happens sometimes. It's not usually this bad, though.
