You presume correctly. And I will presume that you are Taishakuten?

[ he squinted at the username probably. ]

Is anything the matter?

Yes, do forgive my manners.

I am wondering if you have some time to spare. For a cup of tea, perhaps.

Right now?

[ unexpected, but certainly not surprising. the (now typing) bubbles are going to show up on screen for a few moments, at least, before: ]

That's fine. I have no other plans. Dreambucks? Or somewhere else?

[ can you tell he's not really a tea or coffee shop person, taisha. ur gonna have to take the lead on this one. ]

Shall we meet in the town square, perhaps? I am already here.

[ HE'LL TAKE THE LEAD IT'S FINE ]

[ ... also should have expected that. ]

I'll be there shortly.

[ LUCKILY he happens to be in the area running a couple of errands because it's convenient. so, true to his word, it only takes about ten minutes or so before he finds himself in the now-more-familiar town square, and his own imposing figure is probably obvious through the crowd, but nowhere near as obvious as taishakuten and all his lotuses. ]

I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long.

... Here.

[ ... have some halloween candy? ]

Not at all. Thank you for coming to meet me.

[ taishakuten definitely sticks out like a sore thumb, and honestly, time works differently for celestials, he probably wouldn't mind if gino's an hour late or something. nonetheless, he takes one of the candy because hey he has a sweet tooth! ]

Thank you. I do have a bit of a sweet tooth.

[ he eats the candy delicately, offering him a small smile. ]

I hope you don't mind -- I've been wondering if I could have some company while exploring the town.

[ too much time alone just has taishakuten going around in circles, trapped in his own head. ]

I noticed that, the last time there was a banquet.

[ and taishakuten kept gravitating towards the chocolates.

it's honestly the reason why he's pawning the candies that he has off to taishakuten anyway because, you know. better it go to someone with a sweet tooth than to gino who honestly will probably will just let it sit somewhere in his house until next halloween. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Not at all. [ he's absolutely taking it at face value, for now. ] I've been told I'm somewhat boring, but I suppose that depends. Did anywhere in particular catch your eye?

[ ah, so he's been noticed. taishakuten has the grace to look just a little abashed, inclining his head. ]

You are very observant.

[ he gestures in the direction of the abandoned homes. ] I find myself wondering just who has lived here before us, and what ends they might have met. Shall we start over there?

[ he has been Perceived, indeed. ]

I have to be, in my line of work.

[ taishakuten's slightly abashed look is met with a slight upward quirk of his lips from gino - not quite a knowing look, not quite a smile, something a little in between.

he will, however, follow taishakuten's direction towards the abandoned homes. he thought this was an invitation for tea?

... whatever, he's just rolling with it at this point. ]

That is assuming that there were even people who were here before us, according to the fairy tapir creatures. Some of the houses were completely unlived in, I think. [ or at least. nothing that he could see that counted for personal belongings while there had been lots of "clearing the treehouses to be livable" fiasco from the beginning.

a shrug. ] But it's as good a place as any to start with, I suppose.

[ off they go! don't mind him being mildly distracted by the lotuses, he's still mildly ??? that there are so many. ]
