fighting evil by....something [closed]

WHO: August and Ryouta
WHERE: Gacha Goodwill
WHEN: March 26th
WHAT: So Ryouta gets something August wanted...
WARNINGS: August swears?

[Well, August absolutely did not expect to see this place opening up today but you know what? They'll take the goddamn pizza heelies and lawn flamingos and the goddamn magic stripper pole so he is so not complaining. He calls them up, says he has something for them he can't get out, and the next thing he knows it's gone and they're telling him to bring more shit in.

So he brings more shit in, gets it all processed, and starts to look around. There's a surprising amount of decent shit and--]

Oh holy shit, fuck yeah.

[That sure is the most magical girl looking dove pin he's ever seen. The sign says it'll grant the first person to wear it the ability to turn into a magical girl (or boy, or unknowable gender entity) and even if it's not true...he's gotta get it for Jun.

There's a small crash and a dismayed "caw" behind him. August turns around to go fuss at his birds, trusting that the pin will be fine for three seconds.]

[drewthetower]

Nah, I don't think they'd mind.

[August pulls out his phone and navigates to the "Jun at Con" folder before handing his phone over to Ryouta to see.]

[Ryouta is going to take August's phone and scroll through those pictures.]

Oh, wow! The attention to detail is really on point! [One of them makes him pause for a moment with a smile.] Aw, he looks really happy in this one.

[A glance at the photo--]

Oh, yeah, I don't remember what we were doing but I mean. C'mon, as his best friend I had to get a picture of that. D'you go to cons?

[ibuki_theater]

Nah, I'd definitely do the same if I saw that. I'm not much of a con-goer per se, but sometimes I get a part-time gig during cons in the summer! Either at concessions or registration or whatever.

[drewthetower]

Maybe you should try and go as an attendee this time. Jun and I go every year, him for the cosplay and me because I make his cosplay and gotta be on hand to fix it, so it could be fun.

[ibuki_theater]

I gotta see what my summer's like. I still need to pay the bills so I have to pick up something during summer break.

[Hopefully, Mikleo will save him from having to repeat Chemistry....]

[drewthetower]

Fair. Anyway, you sure you don't wanna give this to Jun?

[ibuki_theater]

Yeah, I'm sure. You saw it first, after all! All I did was purchase it.

[drewthetower]

Yeah, so you should be the one to give it to him, since you bought it. [. . .] What was the price on this thing anyway...

[ibuki_theater]

[Ryouta shrugs.]

I dunno, they said something about how the stars told them that it was free of charge for me. Kinda creepy, not gonna lie! But, anyway, I bought it for you so you can give it to Jun.

[This is the most convoluted present-gifting....]

[drewthetower]

[.............

Bro.]

If you're sure. Anyway I can pay you back or....?

[ibuki_theater]

Nah, you don't have to! As long as Jun's happy, I'm happy. Can't put a price on that!

[Bro.]

[drewthetower]

[This is without a doubt the gayest thing August has ever heard. And August paid Elliot to record part of the Nutcracker Suite for a ringtone for Alexandre's birthday.

Holy shit.]

Okay. Seriously though, if you do need something lemme know. Clothes fixed, food, whatever.

[ibuki_theater]

[Ryouta has no idea.]

Sure thing! See you around, August!
