[phew. he shoves his hands in his pockets.]

Not getting into trouble, are you?

[hanaban]

......no.

[ the pause is maybe just a little too long this time. ]

It's just a project I'm working on. I want it to be a surprise, so...

[ can Reigen maybe not ask too many questions? ]

[spiritconsulting]

[well, that's fine! he doesn't care about the insane bullshit hanako is doing right now! he's probably planting a bomb or releasing a plague or whatever. that's fine, do it.]

Planning a surprise party or something, huh? Well, that's fine.

[hanaban]

[ tonight Hanako tpks with Reigen's blessings ]

Something like that. I'll tell you about it later, if it works.

[ he's hoping it will, but who knows ]

Are we partying in the Snake dorms tonight?

[ or are we all going to sit around bummed out about dying ]

[spiritconsulting]

It's no mouse dorm, but what even qualifies as a party...? We can do something fun.

[no they are going to sit around sad.]

[hanaban]

[ sit around sad... together!! ]

Games, I guess...? Can we do that? I forgot to do the homework again, and I told Datz I'd try.

[spiritconsulting]

The homework...? You mean tasks and stuff? I think he'll understand if you didn't do it, but one of them is just drawing, so it's not too hard.

What kind of games do you like? It's been a while since I was your age, I wonder if they're still the same.

[hanaban]

[ It's homework. ]

I guess I can try the drawing later. [ he's not the best artist, but games? he can do games ]

Mostly I play card games with the Mokke, so I'm pretty good at those. What sort of games do you know? Datz probably knows those.

[spiritconsulting]

[this would probably be rude except thanks to ace attorney years they actually were kids in the same decade.]

He's from a different country, so I have no idea if that's true. I can play card games. What kind? Or we could pick up a board game or something.

[hanaban]

Hanafuda...?

[ It's an old game, so maybe Reigen knows it? ]

[spiritconsulting]

Of course, of course. If they have the right cards in the shop...

[he was always just going to go on the internet and look up the rules and pretend he was very good at whatever game hanako suggested, so it's fine.]

[hanaban]

Maybe. I haven't really looked around the game shop since we already have the chicken game.

What are the prizes going to be?

[ it's not a proper game without prizes ]

[spiritconsulting]

Hmm...do I still get some extra luck if I buy you that ice cream? I could use it, but if that's worn off, then maybe that can be the prize.

[hanaban]

[ It takes him a moment to parse the question, and another to remember what the hell Reigen is talking about. ]

Yeah, that offer still stands! I didn't think you're the type to believe in luck.

[ Reigen? worried about something? impossible ]

[spiritconsulting]

I definitely believe in luck. Whether I believe in your horoscope reading abilities...

[he is the luckiest man alive he should have died so many times. but also maybe he just wants to buy a kid some ice cream.]

But it can't hurt. Just this once, yeah?

[hanaban]

[ hey... if he guesses wildly enough, his horoscopes have to come true for somebody sometime, right? ]

...yeah, okay. We can go out for ice cream any time you need to.

[spiritconsulting]

Any time I need to lighten my wallet, you mean. What kind.

[hanaban]

[ All that infinite cash must get heavy, right? ]

Vanilla?

[ HIS TASTES ARE BORING it's fine, sometimes classic flavors are best ]

[spiritconsulting]

You don't even want anything on it?

[fine let's go get ice cream i don't even know where there's ice cream in this setting. konbini???]
