[out and about! with an eyepatch and all that]

... You're missing the garden.

[decadenzas]

[you are the last person he wants to see right now, blindbeard.] I've already watered it.

[and indeed, everything is very hosed down! everything.]

[is_an_island]

I never knew that you were so attentive on cleaning.

[inching forward and squinting at the water suspiciously]

[decadenzas]

I'm not, usually. There was a particularly large mess to clean up.

[...spraying the hose at your shoes.]

[buildstherobots]

I wasn't.

[decadenzas]

But that...

Would you explain how you died in the first place?

[buildstherobots]

I was gutted with a chainsaw.

[decadenzas]

[ouch] ...By one of the other residents, correct? Not because of the town?

[scentofbauhinia]

[standing just off the porch and staring

bad time to visit bro......?]

[decadenzas]

[he looks perfectly cheery!

........so probably, yeah. but he eventually notices HK and pauses in his meticulous deck washing.] Can I help you?

[scentofbauhinia]

[and HK looks...the same as usual. though he's eying the water.....]

No.

Just thought I'd visit. [because you know, sometimes relatively normal people do that...]

...Bad time?

[decadenzas]

[the water is much less...filled with blood than it had been a half-hour ago.]

Not at all. I'm afraid my house isn't presentable enough for any guests at the moment, though.

[candypl0x]

[Standing next to the couch. POKING THE BLOODY BODY.]

[decadenzas]

[........yeah he's just going to stand there and loom.] What are you doing?

[candypl0x]

[Turns around! Silly bat thing, you can't loom over someone taller than you.] Shiro want to know if it's alive.

[decadenzas]

[he can try! glancing down at Minato and then back up at Shiro.] No, he isn't. Don't track blood around the house.

Your new roommate, Charles~

[limerenceloli]

[Yeah, about that surprise on the couch.

...

A mutant cancerous blob slurps up from behind Charles. The sparkling porch isn't sparkling anymore. And the daisies are starting to wilt in their flowerpots from the horrendous smell of fish guts that has just entered the air, settling as a massive cloud on the front porch.]

s-so exciting......

[decadenzas]

[he's in too much of a bad mood to care about the smell, although he does look just a little miffed that all of the hard work he put into cleaning the porch has been undone.]

Saya.

[a pause]

Don't eat that body. I need it.

This would make an amazing sitcom

[limerenceloli]

...

[Saya makes a gurgling sound.

Interpret that in any way you want.]

i can imagine how well canned laughter would go with this

[decadenzas]

[standing up and stepping around Saya to get back inside and make sure Minato is still there. ...and still in one piece, that would probably be good too.]
