WHO: Sena, Shin, Takumi
WHERE: Sena house
WHEN: 9/2
WHAT: Sena invites Shin and Takumi over to his house to discuss everything they've learned so far from their memories and recent adventures from the void.
WARNINGS: Nothing too serious except for some war imagery, maybe.

[ it's not like it's the first time sena has invited people to sleepovers - mary often barges in unannounced to his place, wears his sleep clothes, eats some ice cream, and calls it a day while leaving sena completely flummoxed. but this time he knows that this sleepover would be different. way different. and he's not even sure if he can share everything he knows because it's just all too much...

but he'll worry about that later. the snacks have been set out on the coffee table in the living room, the guest room's all prepared for those two losers... and all he has to do now is wait. he's already texted them on how to get here in case they forgot because sena is that thorough and -

ah, the doorbell. let's get this over with then. sena gets up from the couch to get the door, greeting whoever arrives here first with his usual attitude. ]

About time you showed up.

[ it's not even that late, sena...... ]

[ Guess who also crashes Sena's place? Takumi does, but not ever long enough to sleep over, so this is definitely a first. For now, it seems like he's the only one at the door? Shin is probably running late, but he'll invite himself in when the door opens! ]

Hey, I'm ten minutes early.

[ With cheeks puffed out, he rolls his eyes. ]

... Wow, you're prepared.

[ It makes him sputter a bit as he covers his mouth, finding it a little endearing to see his friend setting up all these snacks. It's also strangely arranged like Sena put A Lot of thought into it? ]

[ Well, at the very least Shin's not going to be that late as right on the time he said he'll be there, he's going to just freaking catch up to the both of them as he look pretty winded.

Also carrying a plastic bag that looks a bit heavy, for some reason... ]

Yo, 'sup! I'm not late, am I?

You're just in time, actually.

[ come in, my dude. of course sena would put A Lot of Thought into this - he's the one who planned this sleepover after all, and this would've happened right after con, but. you know.

he pads into the living room, makes himself comfortable on the couch and grabs his pint of vanilla bean halo top before throwing a confused look at what asuka's carrying. seriously, what IS that... ]

[ Takumi has made himself on the couch after he kicks off his shoes in the front, taking a snack or two before he notices their other friend has arrives. Giving him a small wave, he notices... The bag, too.

This doesn't look good. ]

Are you expecting us to build some kandam as a bonding activity?

...Nah, I know he thinks that Kanpla is a wasteful hobby so I didn't bother.

[ Oh okay. But then Shin brightens up as he walks to the coffee table and dumps the contents of the bag onto it. ]

So I thought we could have the complete original Kandam series (the 1979 run mind you) as background noise!

[ RIP. ]

[ RIP indeed, because give sena a whole minute before standing up from the couch

and rolling up his sleeves ]

I'm going to kick you the fuck out of here right now --

[ TAKUMI STOP HIM ]

[ He's only making a face because... He doesn't want to go through this.

A second time.

Quietly, he's going to pretend that he has something important to do on his phone. Maybe his family is texting him? Sorry. Good luck. ]

[ OH MY GOD BOTH OF YOU!? Shin's just going to just look at Takumi as if he's BETRAYED. BUT EITHER WAYS. ]

Alright, fine! No Kandam watching, I get it!

[ Damn it, why does these two have to be so fucking boring. ]

Look. I appreciate you providing background noise for us tonight [ no he doesn't actually appreciate it, fuck that ], but aside from the sleepover shit, we're here for an important matter.

[ joins takumi back on the couch and motions shin to take a seat. feel free to take some snacks from the table or whatever. ]

The three of us were busy the last month -- it really should've been a great time for all of us since it was the last month of summer break and all, but shit hit the fan right at the tail-end of con. I never should've went there if it only turned out like this...

Anyways, I've already told Takumi my side of the story, so Asuka here should tell us where the fuck he's been. It's only fair.

Mizuki is eloquent as usual...

[ He couldn't have said it better himself? He guesses. He takes one of the sofa pillows to hold as they begin the Interrogation. ]

You didn't respond to your phone and you didn't give us a heads up when you returned? Either way, I would like to hear it before this guy kills you, Shin.

...That's fair. I probably gave you two a heart attack.

[ There's a sigh as he gestures for Sena to take a seat, as he does so himself. ]

Better make yourself comfortable, it... it was a wild trip from start to finish.

So, there's this sunken cruise ship I ended in.

[ yeah this is already a trip. ]

[ raises a brow, and reaches across the table for that pint of mochi green tea halo top as a replacement for alcohol bc good fucking god, he has a feeling that he'll need a drink for this. ]

I think Akechi mentioned something about that when we were working together on the beach. Then?

It kind of sounds like you took in too many fumes, but seeing things have been crazy... We're listening.

[ Did Sena get more ice cream for all of them... Or is it just for himself?? Rude as hell. He'll just sink into the couch as he digs his chin into the pillow.

Better spit out the whole story or they'll beat your ass. ]

Yeah, it does sound crazy, but believe me, that's where I was stuck throughout the whole month as you guys tried to get me back.

Either ways...

[ Shin continued on, telling a tale on how he and his group had to find a way to escape the sinking cruise ship, having to deal with a giant octopus that's protecting the engine room, as well as the puzzle room that the engine room actually is.

When he's recalling that, the two can definitely see that Shin's... not a fan of it from how he segued into a 5 minute rant on how impractical engineering that is, but fortunately he got on track. ]

Either ways, we solved that... that mess and got into a sub. That's when the octopus attacked again after leaving the ship, and turns out...

Well, that giant octopus was wearing a veil. I'll explain why that's uh. A relevant thing, don't worry.

[ yeah

y e a h. ]

[ did he really have to go on a longass tangent about engineering? once again, sena cannot relate. he's only a simple music student. but whatever, he's just here for the deets about whatever went down in that unreal world asuka went in -

until the octopus thing came up. that's where sena pauses in the middle of biting into his ice cream. ]

A veil? Why would it wear something like that? You guys went to some fish's wake or something?

[ Takumi can't relate, either, but he can at least follow the logic well enough. Despite that, the story only makes him squint... And the longer it goes, the more he squints until he finally closes his eyes with his head resting on the pillow.

He's making a guess here. ]

An Octopus bride... Really? What did you do? Not bring any gifts or money to her wedding?

[ This is way beyond what Sena has told him about what the teams were doing in Recolle... Seems like all the people that disappeared only went on some wild drugged adventure. ]

...More like, we didn't even know that the damn thing was a bride until we got to uh.

[ ........................there's a long silence. ]

Her father's kingdom.

Which is under the sea.

[ ..................gonna give you two a bit before he continues. ]

And before you ask how the fuck did I survive being under the sea, the place somehow transformed us and gave us 'gills'. [ ......y e p. ]

[ oh

so it was a wedding

under the sea

and somehow everyone in asuka's group grew gills

...

sena will just launch his face into a cushion and GROAN LOUDLY INTO IT ]

Get me out of this city.

[ HE IS SO DONE ]

... Well, she's an octopus? Where else would her father's kingdom be? In space?

[ Yes... This is how Takumi is going to cope. By asking the right questions since this kind of makes no sense.

He'll pat Sena on the back. There, there... He understands. ]

It's all over now. That's what matters.

Yeah, I'm back and probably not looking forward to school starting, so that's a plus, I guess?

[ He's still too tired for this shit. ]

Either ways, we're told to find the missing tiara for his daughter's wedding after she retreated into her room or something since we kind of beat her up.

[ he leaves out a LOT since HAHA no he's never going to talk about week 2 in detail. ]

We did, and then welp we got chased by the seahorse knights since we're found out as being the culprit behind the princess' injury.

So we ran way and somehow ended up in...

A pirate's cove.

[ THERE'S A NERVOUS LAUGHTER, But Shin's tone gets serious again. ]

I'm not joking by the way, still.

[ his face is still buried into that pillow, but takumi's consolation makes sena feel a little bit better from all this. just a tad. ]

Just... Just cut to the chase... I don't want to hear any weird bullshit that's straight out of a fucking Disney film.
