[OPEN] fuck timelines

[ after fucking off from the dungeon, leaving the daitengu all alone and sad (invite them too, guys :'( ), it's time to have fun. at whatever agreed upon time, the ou hirajiro gang is here to finally get some good r&r. rei has been extremely excited so she's early in front of the bathhouse, holding a bag of her belongings. she waves down anyone she sees. come faster!! let's get this show on the road! ]

Bathhouse time, hoooooo!!

[ for things in the bathhouse, there are your usual spa options: a sauna, jacuzzi, pedicures, manicures, that kind of stuff. have fun, everyone. ]

Fuck you, old man.

[He doesn't want to be here, and he's gonna get himself kicked out if he can't escape through the front door with 45 watching.]

[ This is how Jiro finally makes his escape, huh. His tone makes the custodian frown, but people being rude isn't new, so he gestures with a nod of his head for Jiro to get up. "There are massage chairs and a spacious lounge for you to enjoy," he says, stooping to shoo Kano off so he can at least take this cat outside. "You don't need to lie on the hard ground and collect dust." ]

[Jiro sits up to bat the custodian's hand away from Kano.]

If the cat wants to sleep in the sun, let him fucking sleep in the sun!

[If everyone else in this bathhouse party can act like a child, he will too. He's still not getting off the floor, and will defend a cat's right to be in the bathhouse.]

[ Kano meows and hops off, because if there's going to be a fistfight, he doesn't want to get caught in the middle of it, but he'll sit next to Jiro in solidarity while the custodian gives him a look and gestures to the door.

"There is plenty of sun outside, sir..." The man sounds tired. This is not the hill he wants to die on. "Can I at least show you a private room you can rest in, so you're not in danger of having your face stepped on?" ]

Is that a threat?

[There may be a fist fight.]

[ "No," the custodian replies levelly, but he does take a step back. Kano bats at Jiro's feet. "Am I going to have to call security to show you the way out?"

That's a threat. ]

[If security shows him the way out, he won't be let back in.]

Fuck if I care.

[He moves one foot back and forth to give Kano something to play with.]

[ The custodian leaves to call for security, while Kano jumps on Jiro's foot, hanging on for a bit, and then hopping off to pad his way over to another sunny spot further inside the spa. He glances over his shoulder at Jiro and meows, which means... something... It could mean anything, but he doesn't want to be here when security comes and grabs him by the tail or something to throw out. ]

[Security can find him wherever, and he'll eventually get out of here, but for now... that cat is weird and Jiro definitely takes it as an invitation to follow.

Something about this strikes him as familiar, and for a moment, Jiro thinks this cat is the same one from the old man's roof. He's probably a little better at telling generic black cats apart than the average person, but they're still cats and he can't be completely sure at this point.]

[ He tries to make himself as Generic Black Cat as he can, but he's still probably smaller than most adult cats without having kitten features himself, with the scruffy fur of an outdoor cat to make it clear he's not anybody's pet. And at least he's smart enough not to wear the collar Maverick gave him as a cat, that he wears as a bracelet as a human. It's fine! He's just a Generic Black Cat, who likes hanging out on rooftops and heading straight for the tea room with the snacks, as if he knows exactly where he's going. ]

[Jiro's already been in the tea room four times to eat anything new that's been set out. He follows Kano in there anyway, maybe the cat wants more cookies. Terry's going to be in debt forever from paying for everyone's food, but that's not Jiro's problem. He's going right for the new plate of hanami dango.]

[ Kano jumps up onto one of the chairs nearby but doesn't seem particularly interested in eating dango. They're too sticky to put in his pocket by themselves, but he would like the sticks when Jiro is done with them, so he sits patiently and stares while Jiro eats.

Hurry up. Stick stick stick ]

[Jiro stares back, and this is sort of weird. It was so much easier when cats could just tell him exactly what they wanted. The staring continues until Jiro's eaten the entire plate of dango, and the sticks are right there, piled on the table next to him.]

[ Kano patiently waits for the Jiro to finish eating, and then, like a true asshole cat, jumps on the table to swipe everything onto the ground, both sticks and plate. ]

[Jiro expects nothing less from cats. He eyes the plate in pieces on the floor. Terry will have to pay for that too.]

[ Sorry, Terry. Kano hops down onto the ground so he can bat the sticks safely out of the way, taking care not to step in any of the broken plate pieces. He gets three sticks out of this, nice. Are plate shards worth pocketing? He has to sit and think about it. ]

[Plates shards can be useful as shivs if need be. Jiro collects them and puts them on the table, just in case the weird cat decides to bat them around after all.]
