[Harumasa would prefer not to have death by singing!
Anyway, he'll set the feast of sushi down and start unpacking them from the bag.]
Figured we could use a pick-me-up! This month has been so exhausting.
[Chopsticks, soy sauce, wasabi, ginger... Harumasa looks up when Jun sends him the message of having an idea. He hums a little in interest. Then he grins mischievously and asks:]
[As the food gets unpacked, Jun will scoot forward, grabbing a pair of chopsticks and using them to pick up a piece of sushi. He'll pop it in his mouth and chew it happily as he answers, not having to worry about talking with his mouth full]
[Harumasa pauses for a moment before putting a little bit of wasabi on his sushi and eating it without the soy sauce. It's only after he's swallowed that he says:]
Is it in poor taste to say I've been playing an elf ranger in D&D?
[He shakes his head and sighs dramatically.]
And I'm still denied being a small and cute thing!
I wouldn't say it's in poor taste, but it does mean you're a nerd. [He says, as they sit in his room that's full of anime merch] And that you probably know more about elves than I do.
[His own knowledge was pretty limited honestly, it's not a race that he deals with a lot in either his seal knight work or his POKEGO work. But at the follow up, he'll snort and give his brother a pat on the shoulder]
There there. Don't worry, maybe you'll turn out to resemble one of the keebler elves.
Says the anime nerd! But they are my favorite to play when I have the option. And maybe that's because Belle made me sit through the entire extended edition of Lord of the Rings for a whole weekend.
[He gives his little brother a mock horrified expression.]
If you curse me to be one of those, I'll make sure every cookie you get is the most bitter thing you've ever had! Besides, with the way my luck is going, I'm gonna be the Tolkien elf version of Helen of Troy.
[Somehow setting the entire city on fire just by existing. Harumasa's had so much drama explode around him that it's only a matter of time.]
Ah, my friend August and I tried that marathon once, but we didn't make it past Two Towers. No wonder it permanently altered your brain chemistry, if you made it through to the end.
[That has to be the consequence of getting through that whole marathon hell right?]
Hey I didn't curse you, it was the Fae! Leave my cookie supply alone! [CRUEL] ... You won't be. Wriothesley's also an elf, so.
Truly, it was my real bisexual awakening! It altered so much of my life for the better.
[Harumasa points his chopsticks at Jun.]
Au contraire, Boss would be the poor soul stuck with the unenviable task of being the judge of saying which of three powerful goddesses is the most beautiful of them all. I'm the poor sap vibing and suddenly I'm whisked away to his chambers like, "here's your new bride to share with your other partners!" Not the kind of matchmaking I would enjoy.
No surprises there. [...] If you're elf now and you roleplay as an elf, does that make you a full time LARPer?
[Just come truly cursed questions from Jun here]
That's... quite the scenario you've thought up. [He's just going to grab another bit of sushi, dipping it in some soy sauce before consuming] You'll probably be safe on that front. It's the moogles that force people into marriage, and they're followers of Barbatos. Which Furina is Barbatos's favorite child, so there's no way you'd get suddenly married off to her beloved.
If you're getting married off, it'll be to someone else, you lamentable elven princess.
[Unfortunately, he considers the question seriously.]
... Nah, cause you could say the same thing if you were roleplaying a human in the game.
[Harumasa waves his hand a little.]
I've thought about that story a lot, that's all. Well, that and some other Greek stories.
[A lot of the old Greek stories have stayed with him, honestly. Not just because of Apollo. Some of them hitting a bit closer to home than others.]
Anyway, I'm not too worried about them. I'd probably thank them for taking the courthouse stuff out of my hands, honestly~!
[He grins at that.]
The exact kind of lamentable elven princess that makes for a fantastic poem in the style of Lord Byron! At least I'll have my Halloween costume good to go~.
[He considers that answer, then gives a nod and a shrug. Fair enough, really]
It's the Iliad isn't it? Honestly, I never read it. [Jun reads plenty, but when it came to the greek myths... he mostly just stuck on what he needed to know to do his job. He dealt with enough god problems without wanting to read about them in his downtime.
He snorts at that]
If you say so. [He has doubts his brother would be chill about sudden moogle marriage, and his tone is clear on that, but he's not pushing it.]
Haha, why wait for Halloween? There's Pride, anime conventions-- ohh I wonder if there's going to be a renn faire in town soon. Have you ever been to one of those before?
