[ haha jokes on you, wiz, there's nothing in the fridge asides from bread, jam, and idk maybe a few fruits. the point is that naegi hasn't done grocery shopping yet so good luck trying to get anything. naegi will go over to the kitchen and see if he can just... scoop up wiz into his hands ]
[ especially over something that tatsuma doesn't have any control over. naegi will go over to the kitchen and get some water for both him and tatsuma while tatsuma takes out the food ]
You're living in the same house as Shin, right? How is it?
Nevermind. I think I see you. I have found a few different fish for your bird to try... assuming that you are taking ownership of it.
[ does he even have a choice??? still. Leon is PROBABLY hard to miss, what with wearing all black and wearing a hoodie with aforementioned hood up, and holding a plastic bag. ]
[ naegi is sitting on a bench with the crane not too far away from him. he's pretty noticeable, even without the giant bird with him. he's got an ahoge (the bane of his existence) and he's dressed in an old hoodie and jeans. there are some paint stains here and there on his clothes but most importantly... there are scraps and little bruises on his face when he was at the mercy of the bird. he really didn't have a great morning... but he keeps an eye out for leon, especially after he gets his texts and when he spots him, he gets up from his seat to approach ]
Oh, Leon, right?
[ that's the name he remembers from seeing on the network ]
[ the ahoge is only slightly more eyebrow raising than Makoto's various injuries. could a crane truly inflict that much damage on someone? then he stares at the bird and nods inwardly. he'll have to take care of those later--- thankfully, he brought along a small first aid kit as well. why?
well, anything can happen. including surprise cranes. ]
Yes, and you are Makoto.
[ not a question. anyway, he fishes (ha) out a few packages taped and wrapped in parchment sheet paper. ]
Carp. [ the first one. ] Goldfish. [ the second smaller one. ] And Goldfish. [ the... third one. each portion smaller than the last. ]
You may want to use the carp to chill some of those bruises. They look painful.
That's good! Living with other people can be pretty fun and it definitely wouldn't get lonely. It makes me glad that my parents made me live with Daisuke after high school.
[ aaaaaaa food other than just bagels. this is truly heaven... he is blessed and he can smell it from the kitchen (which is only a few steps away, really). he comes back to the table with their glasses of water, some plates, and utensils ]
That smells and looks really good. Seriously, thanks again, Tatsuma.
[ he takes the fish from leon, about to ask them how much he owes him for the fish but then he gets told to put one of them on his face. he would raise a hand to his face if he could ]
Do they look that bad?
[ he could tell that the bird really got him but he hasn't exactly looked in a mirror yet ]
... if the bird wasn't here, I would almost be tempted to file some kind of assault and battery charge.
[ actually, he probably should do that anyway. arrest all cranes! ]
But I have some different foods. Perhaps it will eat that goldfish you mentioned, but if that doesn't work, I have Goldfish. We can save the big fish for last, okay?
[ he opens up the one pack to reveal some goldfish. aquarium size. nice and small. probably decent for a crane? ]
[ where is the anime series about a crane who runs away from the cops and constantly outsmarts them to avoid arrest? it would feature this crane here and be rated r18 for the excessive violence it would use ]
[ but ah... it's that bad, huh... he will do as leon suggested and place the wrapped up carp to his face. it... feels silly and it probably also kind of stinks but you know what, his life is already sad so putting fish on his face is honestly not the lowest point of his life. he will nod and probably try to feed the bird the goldfish but he feels... a little nervous. he doesn't want to get pecked again so maybe he should ask for the price of everything first ]
[ he laughs once more and closes his eyes like she tells him. should he put a hand out or will she direct him by instructing him? he chooses to just keep his hands to the side since he doesn't really know ]
