[doublesmall]

So it's a stepsiblings kind of thing. Okay. That's way less weird, thanks.

[PHRASING IS IMPORTANT THUG...]

How long ago was all this, anyway?

[secretingredients]

Step-siblings, sure. [ IF YOU WANNA BE PEDANTIC.... which you totally should be, Thug. ] They're just as important as regular siblings, you know! She still gets invited to the family gatherings.

But this was all before we wound up here. Back home.

[doublesmall]

What kind of place are you from? Pretty similar to this, or did you want different weather or something?

[secretingredients]

I mean, it didn't snow all the time and it wasn't always weirdly themed, for one thing.

It was, you know, normal.

[doublesmall]

It's your place though, right? You could go without the weird themes if you wanted to. Make it a little more normal.

[secretingredients]

I wouldn't say it's ours. We just live and work here.

[doublesmall]

Hasn't seemed like the owner's been around or anything, though, so who's gonna stop you from just-- not doing it?

[secretingredients]

[ Thug hums, like the question makes him uncomfortable. ]

I mean, it's my job. I'm not going to stop doing my job just because the owner isn't around to tell me if I'm doing well or not.

[doublesmall]

-yeah, I guess that's fair.

[he's not here to make thug too uncomfortable, he won't press that particular question for the moment.]

How'd you guys end up working here in the first place, anyway?

[secretingredients]

Well, we showed up here and got hired, basically.

[ Sounds simple enough, right? ]

[doublesmall]

But not 'showed up' like we did, right? Or did you guys get stuck or something too.

[secretingredients]

We were looking for a bed & breakfast and wound up here.

[ it is a bed and breakfast, after all. ]

[doublesmall]

Were all three of you together, or just you and Starshine?

[was brasco also a previous buddy or what...]

[secretingredients]

What? No way! It was all of us. I would follow Brasco anywhere.

[doublesmall]

Tell me you didn't sleep with him, too.

[secretingredients]

What?! Noooo. No way! Me and-- with Brasco? Definitely not. I've never even considered it! Absolutely not.

[ Methinks he doth protest too much. ]

[doublesmall]

That's an awful lot of denial for someone who's never even considered it.

[ok but consider that you'd sound like this if someone brought up dazai, chuuya.]

-hey, how'd that go with Starshine, anyway?

[he's curious about both sides of this...]

[secretingredients]

I, uh... I mean. I might have. Maybe thought about it... y'know, once or twice.

But he's my best friend! I couldn't.

[ That's definitely enough on that subject!!! ]

"With Starshine," you mean like, in bed?

[doublesmall]

No! No, in general. Trust me, I don't need to hear about your sex life any more than I already have.

You two were dating or something, yeah?

[secretingredients]

Oh, no. We were never dating. We were just sleeping together.

[ Even Thug Dangerzone likes to get some. ]

I was going through some stuff and Starshine's really good, but there was no actual dating. She was worried her cred would tank from sleeping with me, so I agreed to keep it quiet.
