And what exactly does that mean?

[preowned]

Every time people show up here, they always fall to the ground.

[ this is a roundabout way of saying he wants to help cheer people up ]

[cyclists]

Most people have a hard time accepting death...maybe we should find a way to make the transition easier on them.

[preowned]

That can work.

Do you have any ideas?

[cyclists]

A distraction. [There's a sage nod.] If they have something fun to jump into right away and they don't have to think about how they died, that could help. It won't be a perfect solution, but if they know the people here still care about them that might help, too.

[preowned]

Oh! Why don't we plan something? Kind of like the party you guys did the first week... but smaller?

[ something more homey, maybe. ]

[cyclists]

Nana told me that people take comfort in eating, so what about like a big welcome dinner or something? [Does Sol just like food? Probably.]

[preowned]

That's a great idea!

[ ... ]

I can't cook!

[cyclists]

Me either. [WELL THAT'S. GOOD.] But Nana can, and I can make some stuff with magic so we could probably manage it.

[preowned]

[ he nods, and then reaches for the chips

tsuru please let sol eat some too ]

We can think of the menu together.

... mostly Nana though.

[cyclists]

[Hungry sword...but Sol's actually fine with sitting in his chair and brainstorming. He's probably sitting backwards so he's leaning on the back of it.]

Nana's really talented. And I bet she'd like something to do, too. I'd have to ask her.

And if people don't feel like eating food, we should have desserts, too.

[preowned]

Mmhm...

Is there anything else we should add? Something to do while eating?

[cyclists]

Maybe some games? Something they can do together so they aren't hiding by themselves right away. It's a weird balance of giving them something to focus on and giving them space.

[preowned]

The tasks we do are helpful for that, but it'll also be nice to do something that's more just for the sake of it instead of feeling like work.

[ he taps his chin. ]

But games might be fine...

[cyclists]

Yeah. I've spent a lot of time doing work, but every chance I got to spend time with friends and just have fun always made the work feel a little less exhausting.

I wonder if we can get video games to work here. [Video games are fun and interactive, he thinks.]

[preowned]

video games...

[ his mouth is full. this isn't elegant.

at least he swallows the food before he talks again ]

Oh! Like dating sims!

[cyclists]

...not quite. I don't think a lot of people would react well to a dating sim anyway.

[preowned]

Can we play one on our own then...

[ he's so curious please give him a dating sim ]

[cyclists]

I guess so...I haven't thought about it but I think I could probably summon one? [A game system is probably small enough item-wise, but hm. Electricity? In the GY? He's wondering...

...maybe a handheld system.

...Tsuru can snack, Sol is busy thinking about logistics of dating sims now.]

[preowned]

[ yeah he's going to stuff his face as he

watches sol think

this is fine ]

[cyclists]

[Give him a moment and yeah, he summons what's essentially a PSP and waves it at Tsuru.]

This should work. Or I can make it a little bigger for the TV.

[preowned]

[ OHHH, FANCY!!! ]

Bigger! Bigger!!

[ bigger is good ]

[cyclists]

[It gets a laugh at least, but okay. Give him a second and he'll end up finagling a game console and plugging it into his TV.]

Who even told you about dating sims?

[preowned]

Futaba! She was telling me about this one in particular about historical figures... I want to date Nobunaga.

[ bad ]

[cyclists]

Who's Nobunaga and why would you want to date them?
