Week 1 | Thursday

[concasse]

[There are consequences to giving chefs a minor heart attack, chief among them being that Sanji has no qualms about hunting Natsuo down, looking more than a little irate. It'll be after the kid's rested and looking a lot less dead, of course, but otherwise?

Kid gloves off, where is that little bastard--]

Comments

[concasse]

[He's honestly upset Natsuo got hurt but better him than Sanji, fuck creepy dolls.]

... Y'know, I forgot about that. Good thinking, might be right.

[randori]

If that's it, I hope I can find her somewhere in the castle... [ Or she's dead already and the tapestry is just in her honor, who knows. ]

Anyways, I dunno what all that was about. It felt like a trap to get us killed— how many people went, do you know? If one person was behind all of that, it's kind of scary.

[concasse]

You, your partner, Veronica-chan, Varian, Fane, and Stephanie-chan were the only ones who went through those doors... so six in total.

I do remember Stephanie-chan bleeding, too, but you got the worst of it. And there was one group that didn't get hurt at all.

[randori]

No way- what happened in those other places? Were they fighting each other too?

[ The rest of them are people he wouldn't think would pull out a weapon so readily— but then again, he didn't think Shirasu would either. ]

[concasse]

... What?

[Staring at him]

Fighting who?

[randori]

Each other? I got cut by Shirasu 'cause he pulled out a knife and—

[ oh ]

Yeah, you'd better go talk to him. I dunno if it's one of your kitchen knives or not.

[concasse]

I don't give a shit about the kitchen knives right now!

[... Still going to talk to Shrasu later, but--]

That bastard attacked you? For real?

[randori]

No, he didn't! I just got stabbed!

[ ...? No, he has to stop and think about what'd exactly happened back there. Shirasu had the knife out before Natsuo had caught up to him; he hadn't pulled it out to attack him. ]

He was trying to fight something else. There was ice everywhere— I think he just got spooked by his own reflection or something.

[concasse]

[Good lord, Sanji is confused -- but at least not pissed off anymore! Time will tell if this is a good thing]

So... he accidentally stabbed you while trying to kill his reflection.

[USE BETTER ENGLISH, NATSUO]

[randori]

Yes. He accidentally stabbed me while trying to kill his own reflection.

[concasse]

... You need to stop going off on adventures.

[That's the takeaway]
