[Rhel largely despises texting so:]

You mean cups that match in a general sense, or matching sibling cups?

Re: voice | un: fashonti

[couldntsaveone]

They gotta be matching. It's for a ceremony to make us brothers!

[thaumewturge]

Oh, I see. Honestly, I suspect you can find most anything you need at any one of the shops here, provided they sell dishware and the like.

[couldntsaveone]

Yeah but what kind of shops? I'm not good at shopping, somebody else usually does it.

[thaumewturge]

[Ah.]

Would you like some help, then?

[couldntsaveone]

That would be great! I don't really know anything around here still and I can be kind of helpless without my friends sometimes.

[thaumewturge]

Of course. Do you mind if I shop around a bit and then show you what I find?

[couldntsaveone]

Sure! I'm not really picky. I just want something that we can share and toast with, that matches. It has to be kid friendly, though!

[thaumewturge]

[...kid friendly?? Does he mean a small child?]

How young is your brother?

[couldntsaveone]

8 to 10 I think!

He honestly has no idea. That wasn't really one of the questions they asked each other. Or maybe they did and he forgot?? Oh well he's pretty sure that's a good range!

I met cool little dude on this app techy thingamagig. He's a cool little dude! Seems kind of lonely and he really likes learning about pirates and my brothers! So, I offered to become brothers with him!

Which is actually a testament to how much he likes him. It's not something he offers lightly.

[thaumewturge]

[Oh, that's sweet.]

I'll find something suitable, I promise.

[couldntsaveone]

Thanks! You're super nice! I like you!

[traaaaaash]

i'd have to dig in the dustier corners of the shop but... possibly

Re: text; un: imahoot

[couldntsaveone]

Really?? Thanks!!

[traaaaaash]

no guarantees i haven't found anything yet

[couldntsaveone]

Yeah but you said that you'd look! You're a good person! Thanks!

[traaaaaash]

you realize i run a business and will demand to be paid right

[couldntsaveone]

But you're still offering to help me despite not knowing me!

You offered to help him, therefore, you are now a good person to him. It's really that simple.

I have money! It's in my treasure box! Which kind do you want? The funny looking money with men on it or the weird feeling money with a lady on it?

Because that narrows down what kind of mindset he has so much.

[traaaaaash]

whichever has the biggest number on it

[couldntsaveone]

They have similar numbers so I'll just give you some of the ones with the guys on it! They're more interesting looking!

[traaaaaash]

okay sure you do that

[Suzume has gotten one thing from this post, and honestly, that's about how it goes. And that thing is-]

Matching cups make brothers?

:0

Re: TEXT | UN: SUZUME

[couldntsaveone]

Yeah, kinda! That's how me and my brothers became family! We toasted, did a little ceremony and drank from matching cups! Now, we're brothers!

[suzume_odori]

[Important information earned; drink from matching cups, Get Brothers!]

What happens if someone would be a sister?

[BROTHERS??? FREE BROTHERS???]

[couldntsaveone]

I mean, I don't see why it would matter? Boy or girl, it's the same thing, right? You wouldn't do anything differently to get sisters.

[suzume_odori]

[An important thing has been learned!]

Then I can get more brothers if I get matching cups!!!

:D

I have to go find cups right now!!

[couldntsaveone]

Good luck finding them! I'm still looking but I'm really bad at shopping, so I'm getting help from other people! I hope you get your new brothers soon!

[suzume_odori]

You're bad at shopping?

:0

Did you never have a first errand?

I learned shopping that way!

[couldntsaveone]

First errand? What's that?

I mean, he both has and hasn't done that. Not in the way Suzume means but...

I usually buy too much! Or the wrong things! That's what I mean by bad at shopping. And also struggle to find things, too.

[suzume_odori]

[...It occurs to Suzume that she, too, does not actually know.

But that means she just has to guess!!! She can do it!!]

It's when you have to go shopping without Haha

Or your Haha

:0

You get a list and you go get the things for the first time alone.

Oh no!

Do you need help?

:[

[couldntsaveone]

Haha?

It takes him a minute to place the word. He hasn't heard it in so long...

Ohhhh! Mother! I didn't have one of those. I only had my brothers and my Gramps, sometimes. And Dadan.

He's not sad about it. He doesn't remember her, likely never even met her, and still hasn't met his father, despite the man being alive. He's much more invested in the found family he's built.

Definitely! Do you want to go shopping with me?

[suzume_odori]

Oh!

[Families are all different, so she supposes some people just don't have Hahas! She sure never heard of a Dadan.]

Dadan sounds important

:0

Yes!

I can help you find the matching cups!

:D

[couldntsaveone]

Dadan is silly!

Not really important but she kind of took care of me for a bit.

Mostly my big brothers trained with me and kind of raised me!

Great! We'll have to meet up to find cups together!

[suzume_odori]

[GASP!

A Dadan is more like a Haha than she thought!!!]

Ok!

Do you know where the store is?

If you don't it's okay!

:D

Hoshi can find one for me and then I can share

[couldntsaveone]

I had some people trying to help me find some but I haven't heard back yet!

If you find one, let me know and I'll meet you there!

[suzume_odori]

Oh!

D:

I'll look really hard then!

[couldntsaveone]

Okay! You let me know if you find anything and I'll let you know if I find anything.
