[ MINEO ARE YOU SURE HE WANTED A POLE FOR FIGHTING REASONS ]

If the people who knows how this place works make an appearance I will. Otherwise I might have to cobble something together for the moment...

[sengokus]

[iunno]

Hmm... [mineo looks around] Maybe like... a pipe? It just has to be sturdy with reach, right?

[aubins]

[ omi.... pole dancing. ]

... Pretty much. A little more reach is preferable.

[sengokus]

I mean, people have stolen a bunch of stuff so far - as long as you don't take anything that other people will miss, it should probably be okay.

[logic?]

[aubins]

[ like the knives everyone bodily ran at and grabbed from the kitchen. ]

Yeah, just gotta figure out what would work that won't be missed and go from there. Maybe something from one of the things lying around here...?

[ the "things" being.... all the gym equipment. time to gut thm for parts. ]

[sengokus]

You could probably unscrew one of the parts? But uh - just make sure that people know it's broken so they don't try to use it.

[or else they'll

have trouble]

You don't wanna just learn how to pick up a new weapon, or hand to hand until then?

[aubins]

I'll put it back together again when I'm done.

[ probably. ]

After years studying the same one? No. Not really.

[sengokus]

Yeah! Then it'll probably be fine.

[time to wander off and check out the equipment and see what he can help yuri take it apart? okay]

Huh... How long've you been studying the sword and magic?

[aubins]

Long enough that I know it's what I'm comfortable with.

[ he's looking at a set of dumbbells. the really big ones? can he even lift these? ]

[sengokus]

[c

can he?]

Oh - you can probably use one of those if you screw the weights off the sides?

[JUST TAKE THE POLE]

[aubins]

[ his twink arms can probably lift. ]

Oh, those come off?

[ hang on he'll........ tug one of them off. it drops to the ground with the same obnoxious energy of a gym rat muscle boy dropping their dumbbell to the ground instead of just putting it down, because they have to let Everyone Know They're Lifting The Big Weights. ]

[sengokus]

[aaaAAAAAA it startles him - ]

Gentler, gentler! You could've slammed it on your foot or something!

[AND THAT WOULD BE SO SAD. YURI YOUR FEMBLEM FEETSIES]

[aubins]

[ now no one may perceive his feetsies, as god and seiros intended ]

I wasn't really aiming it for any of my body parts, don't have a heart attack over it.

[ there is


another clang as the other dumbbell hits the floor. uwah. ]

[sengokus]

[mineo is just

shutting his eyes for a moment]

.... got it...

[but he'll go pick those up,,]

Does that bar work for you then?

[aubins]

[ he just swings the bar. ]

[ hm. ]

The weight's not well distributed, but I can't really complain too much.

[sengokus]

[mineo is cleaning up after yuri....]

Huh... Well, I guess that'll do until you can ask for a real sword?

[aubins]

[ what a good house husband. ]

It'll have to do until I can ask for something better. [ he shoulders it. it's kinda heavy? he's fine. ] Not exactly fair all you other people get to use your fancy machines and we don't even get basic wooden training swords, huh?

[sengokus]

[good for you, yuri. mineo's just trying to make sure that no one stubs their toe 'cause that'd suck.]

Fancy machines...

Like what? The cell phones?

[aubins]

The what phones?

... I'm talking about the thing where you push the button and food comes out. Is that a cell phone?

[sengokus]

Nah, that's a vending machine.

[a beat]

Well, a vending machine for cell phones probably exists to be honest.

[JAPAN'S WEIRD VENDING MACHINES - but regardless he'll bring his own phone out of his pocket and just

send a text to yuri]

🤯 This you?

[aubins]

[ yuri looks at it






and turns the whole phone upside down trying to figure out what he's looking at. he might be more "😵" but he doesn't know how to send that. ]

...? What.

[sengokus]

[this is so funny and mineo's just laughing]

That's a text!

[and he points at the device]

And that's a cell phone - but it's pretty ancient.

[aubins]

[ don't? tell him this is an old phone he has seen nothing like it ever. ]

I'm afraid to ask what not ancient ones look like.

[sengokus]

Uh....

[he just

draws a rectangular iphone/android shape in the air]

And you just poke it!

[THIS EXPLAINS NOTHING]

[aubins]

[ ]

I see.

[ he doesn't see shit, mineo. ]
