Ink City Halloween Party!

[lady_of_paint]

[Hello, citizens of Ink City! If you aren't a basement dweller, you may notice a huge sign saying “INK CITY COSTUME PARTY TODAY” in front of a large building decorated with jack o lanterns, fake cob webs, fake spiders, and other Halloween related decorations. If you walked up to the building, there is another sign that says “Come on in!”.

[Don't mind Souji, he's just keeping to himself. He's dressed in...well, he doesn't really expect you to know what he's supposed to be, but at least he feels like he looks cool enough.

brb, eating snacks]

[Ooh no, you're not getting off that easy. Souji catches that for sure. It may be that he's a little oversensitive to cousin talk himself, but he can definitely tell not everything is peachy.

...Or strawberry-y]

Are you okay?

[strawberry_roll]

...Yeah, I... I just miss my family, you know? I've got lots of cousins, and I'm used to... well, just seeing them around, and spending time with them whenever... but...

*She shrugs, trailing off. Does she really have to explain further?*

[epicbowlcut]

[Souji crouches down.]

If you ever want to, you can always talk to me about it sometime. I know it's not easy.

[strawberry_roll]

*Gazing up, she blinks back the beginning of tears, offering him a wistful little half-smile.*

...Thanks. S-sorry for bringing down the mood...

[epicbowlcut]

You don't have to apologize.

[He gives a soft smile. Souji could never fault anyone for missing their family.]

For now, just try to enjoy yourself.

[strawberry_roll]

That's what everyone came here to do, right?

*And she smiles a little more brightly, because that's the point, wasn't it? To make good memories, not wallow in self-pity over something they can't change... yet.*

And besides... I know we'll find our way out someday. I just know it.

[epicbowlcut]

[Souji gets serious at that last thing Ichigo mentions. He nods.]

I'm going to find a way out.

[strawberry_roll]

I know.

[For your health or not, that's very inconsiderate!]

That punch was for everyone.

[And now it's ruined. By fish butt.]

[justswimthisway]

[Hey, she's not stopping you from drinking it. The ocean water is drinkable, so what's the difference?]

Punch?
[Far as she was concerned it was just oddly colored water.]

[epicbowlcut]

[He doesn't want fishy punch.]

It's what you are sitting in.

[justswimthisway]

[More for her then or anyone else. <3 Go drink a soda.

Looks down at the bowl.]

I thought it was water. It's as wet as water.

[epicbowlcut]

...How did you even get here?

[justswimthisway]

Through the door.
[Not vague. <3]
