...i hadnt
i guess that could work...but he also mentioned that the reaction he got to the suggestion of a party was discouraging

[shikosuki]

Well YEAH. People have other things on their minds right now and it's not like a lot of people know us.
Plus he pulled this suddenly out of the blue without asking the rest of us.
It's not like it was a bad idea, it's how he did it.
And now he's just being a baby.

[ so. "the usual" as far as Choromatsu is concerned. ]

[karappo]

i mean...i agree with you, the way he is acting is unreasonable
but i still feel bad
i know well enough that my friends have not gotten along with you all so i should have left it alone

[shikosuki]

[ ... ]

Yeah, probably.

[ sorry bro, just being honest ]

But that's still not your fault.
They shouldn't have been going at it like that in the first place.

[karappo]

mmm

[He pauses for a while, tapping his claws against his laptop as he tries to think of what to say.]

do you have any ideas of someplace the party could be held that would satisfy all of us? he says he wont do it any longer but...i am not sure he was entirely telling me the truth
he just wanted to get me out of the room

[shikosuki]

Well...
If he hadn't gone and said "everyone's invited!" I would just suggest the house or the warehouse next door, but you never know with people in this place. I'd rather not let a bunch of strangers know our address, especially when everyone is losing their heads trying to find these conduits.
Obviously the park's out unless it can be restored before then.
There's gotta be places around that rent out space. It doesn't have to be big.
I don't think it'll be many people - maybe just a few close friends - but it's not like no one would come. Like I said, I've already invited someone, so I'm sure the others will too.

[karappo]

i can understand where osomatsu was coming from in doing that at least, apart from expecting every monster on the peninsula to bring us gifts

...who did you invite?

[shikosuki]

A friend.

[ Yeah that's all you're getting ]

Did Osomatsu-niisan say anything else?
Usually when he's in a mood like this there's more to it.
Like something else is bothering him that he won't talk about.

[ This is what the whole mess about him moving out and later being in Osomatsu's head has taught him. Osomatsu is Bad at saying what's Actually Bothering Him. ]

[karappo]

[Well hopefully your friend is better than all of Kara's, Choro.]

well...not really? he said it was because we are mad at each other and that has made him not want to do it anymore

[shikosuki]

[ she's hot so she's automatically better ]

Hmm...
Do you think maybe
Well this is just a guess but
I wonder how much of this was him really wanting to do something together again

[ if he called it off over an argument... ]

[karappo]

it is possible
he seemed receptive to the idea of us just doing something together as...well, just us, at least

[shikosuki]

[ Hmmmmmm, he's thinking ]

Hey Karamatsu?
Can I tell you something I've been thinking about for a while.
Don't laugh at it. ( o` ^ o)

[karappo]

there are few things i would laugh at you over
what is it?

[shikosuki]

Well
When Mana is feeling better and able to grant requests again
I was thinking about asking her to make me more like the rest of you.
For a little while anyway.

[karappo]

more like...the rest of us?
in what way?

[shikosuki]

Like
Looking identical again.
Or almost identical I guess.
But it'd be hard because we're all different monsters except you and Totty, so she'd probably just make me a fairy if I asked.

[ A pastel green faerie Choromatsu... cute ]

Unless all six of us asked her to do this.

[karappo]

[...]

she could make monsters human again, you know
briefly...but she has done it before

[shikosuki]

I'm already human half the time.
I mean, if you guys wanted that I'd go with it but
I like being a little different just not THIS different
And I'm tired of being the only one like this.

But this isn't about me.
I'm bringing it up because
Do you think that would make Osomatsu-niisan happy?
If we all told him we wanted to do this together.

[karappo]

...honestly, knowing him?
i feel as if the novelty of the idea may make him forget about why he was upset in the first place

[shikosuki]

Right?? That's what I was thinking!
And then it'll be fine!
He'll stop being such a baby and just go straight back to wanting to celebrate!!

[karappo]

while it is a good idea in theory, i am not sure if i should be the one to tell it to him
he does not seem all that interested in talking to me at length right now

[shikosuki]

Do you want me to?
I'm kind of his best friend after all.
Or the closest he's got anyway.

[ It is weird for him to admit that considering the way their relationship has been for years now but... that's pretty much what they were, wasn't it? ]

[karappo]

[It's...well. A little bit odd for Choromatsu to suddenly say that now, considering, but...Karamatsu understands why, at least.]

it might be best if you should
it was your idea after all, non?

[shikosuki]

[ Believe me, he thinks it's odd too

Good job drawing that circle in his head, bruh ]

Okay! I can do that.
Did you want to try and convince everyone else first before we do or let Osomatsu-niisan do that?

[ He doesn't want to sign up the other three for something they don't want to do, though Osomatsu has also been a lot more persuasive once an idea gets in his head ]

[karappo]

let osomatsu spread the word if he will
everyone else would likely be more willing to go along if he suggested it
but of course that all depends on what you and he end up deciding on what that should be, and yet still that depends on if he listens...

[He pauses.]

thank you for listening to me by the way
i feel like i have made quite a great deal of messes lately and the moment i clean one up i cause another
