Wouldn't a normal umbrella do just as good? ...So long as it wasn't the clear plastic ones, I guess.

Yeah, but normal ones don't have the ruffles. Pretty sure ruffles are the point.

[Takes another sip, longer this time.]

I didn't think ruffles were ever the point, to anything.

Pretty sure they were the point to that one shirt you had on in the vid room.

Note how I've never mentioned that thing again, in the hopes it would turn out to be a bad dream.

But sure, if you want a parasol so bad, can probably call in some goth team favors for you.

Nah, doesn't gotta be a parasol. Those little paper ones're on the list, though.

[Takes another sip. He is almost done with the drink.]

Shoulda stole some from that one game, they were like the only good thing about that game.

...There was a parasol game?

[god so many things happen all the time]

Dude, no. I mean the one with the drinks. That one BS game.

[Vague. Handwave.]

[Looks no less blank

(spoilers it's because she only took one drink the whole time, because who even keeps secrets anyway,)]

...Still don't see why you can't just buy umbrellas if you like umbrellas.

'm gonna. I'll get you a couple, too. We can have a bunch.

[Finishes the drink.]

[sloshes hers around some more]

Always be ready for a rainy day.

Have AlcheME shrink em all. Then we can tie em together and make a bigger umbrella out of a bunch of tiny umbrellas.

[Considers the rum for a beat or two, then reaches for it.]

[Pulls the mixers closer too, nabbing one of the bags of senbei with ring finger and pinky.]

I feel like that's not the most efficient usage of umbrella. Like, it's actually a complete waste. What you want is a bunch of normal umbrellas that turn tiny once somebody tries to use 'em.

What, like a trick umbrella? What's it even for, a birthday gift for your worst enemy?

[Half of this cup is going to be rum, just saying.]

[it kind of was last time, he should know what he's getting into]

Leave one outside the nerd dorms...

[Go big or go home. He does not plan to go home, so. The rest can be pineapple juice.]

Jesus, can you picture Intensity's face? We'd have to get it on video.

It'd be so worth it. We gotta talk to C, he could make it happen and take the blame.

[Works on her drink a little more before]

--Shit, what time is it?

[And she goes working for her phone]

Dunno. Pretty late, I guess.

[He'd been reaching for a senbei, but he pauses before he gets there.]

You got somewhere you gotta be?

[Maybe it's the half-cup of rum he's had already, but that doesn't come out anywhere near as casual as he was trying for.]

Intensity's s'posed to call clown lady after 24 hours--

[Fiddles with her phone looking for missed texts bitching her out]

Augh, I totally forgot...

Clown lady?

In case you didn't come back. He offered.

He - was gonna get ahold of Exael?

[There is - an odd note in his voice.]

Same deal as for C and Haruto, don't feel too special. But he'll be pissed if he calls for no reason--I forgot to tell 'im you're back.

...I talked to him earlier. He didn't mention.

[Leaves off reaching for that senbei and drinks some more of this drink instead.]

Culpable deniability. He'd ruin his rep if people saw him not being 100 percent asshole all the time.

--But you talked to him? Today?
