well
can't say my own weapon isn't kinda weird but i don't think it's conscious at least
even if it's picky about the whole who can synchronise with it thing
people who use these things have to keep pretty healthy so the sickness thing doesn't come up often
also if you're a good enough singer you can sing in tune even if your senses are off
same logic as deaf composers and stuff
you can feel the difference

i hope so too
if i ever get to see him again anyway. i didn't want to miss that milestone
[ The universe has already made it abundantly clear that it doesn't really give a damn about Keith's wishes though, so he's not holding out too much hope here. At the very least, he figures Krolia will be there for the wolf, even if he may not be there to witness the moment himself. Hopefully the wolf will forgive him for that. ]
that's a smart way of figuring out daisy's name
and it's nice to meet you mira
i'm keith, but you already knew that.

[ Huh. Is this guy not entirely human, too? Welcome to the squad, Keith. ]
What is a "Galra", exactly?
[ As she asks the question, she starts to sheath her sword. Well, she supposes she can tell him a little about how a zanpakuto works. ]
My sword, known as a zanpakuto, can take on various forms. Mine is named Sode no Shirayuki and utilizes ice for its techniques, hence why it turns white. Not every ice-based zanpakuto has that trait, but its appearance and abilities vary from person to person.

I'm being practical. You offered to pool resources into an investigation. Manna is our primary currency in this world, not to mention one of the subjects of said investigation.
Besides. You'd have to be inordinately prudish to consider hand-holding so invasive a question.
[ And this is coming from someone who doesn't even do the interpersonal relationship thing!! ]

detectives, technically
[Not that he's ever considered himself one. He doesn't have the formal training Kogami had before the university system was dismantled.]
the second thing only happens in comics
[beat.]
and that one superhero universe i guess
[HE'S NOT BITTER!!11]
peace isn't exactly all its cracked up to be either
well, if you're not one of the people meant to benefit, anyway
[Japan's propaganda always claimed that the only reason they were able to avoid the wars raging outside its borders is because of the Sibyl System. But now he knows there are other versions of Japan out there that don't have it, and manage not to be war-torn, either. It sucks.]

honestly? the way some people talk about their lives, i'm pretty sure some of them might as well be from some messed up comic book world
[ He's really talking about Sanji here, but Keith may as well be talking about hims own life, too. What is self awareness anyway? ]
but peace is pretty great if you ask me
unless you're talking about one of those secret dystopian societies where there's something nefarious going on that's "meant to maintain law and order"
i've seen at least one of those.

[ Riku's spent a few days in Harasaka; despite having felt the weird urge to hold people's hands in the first day, he has it under control by the time day three rolls around. He's been enjoying the sights, the flowers, the temples -- what he's drawn to the most, though, are the different tea shops. He likes tea quite a lot and he's enjoying the different blends that Harasaka has to offer. Really, after the events from earlier this month, this is a nice change of pace.
He's on his way to try even more tea when he sees a familiar face eyeing one of the tea shops. (A familiar...mullet, rather?) Riku approaches with a bright smile and a little wave. Riku's everyday behavior isn't that far off from how he acted with the yellow powder in effect, but it'll be nice to finally talk to Keith with a clear head. ]
Keith-san! Hi! Are you here to try some tea, too?

At the store. Replacing a pot.

[ keith turns at the familiar voice, then tenses up visibly. not that he has anything against riku specifically, but their last conversation while under the influence of yellow powder had been... a lot. for keith, anyway. being excessively cheerful ... how embarrassing.
unlike the lighter jacket he's wearing today. ]
Oh hey.
[ slightly sheepish, he points to a drink menu advertising primavera's equivalent of boba. it comes in a ton of flavors with different kinds of boba as well. some flavor combinations really do not sound like they should go together. ]
I haven't tried anything like this before.

[ tmw you open up images of goddamn cooking ware and you realize that you may be becoming a parody of yourself because one pot is so clearly better than the others....
whatever. keith will deal with this realization later. possibly never. first things first: ]
what happened to the pot?
[ obviously shiro happened to it, but details!! was there a fire? a flood? an electrical outage? exploding eggs???? ]

[ so… buy the red one. gotcha.
now, how to word this without further tarnishing his reputation of poor cooking skills. ]
The lid exploded.
[ swing and a miss. ]

[ STOP JUDGING HIM. ]
Yeah.
I don’t know how it happened.
I was boiling vegetables on the stovetop.
And it must’ve gotten too hot. Or the lid was defective. Both?
But the lid shattered.
[ how many texts is that in a row? ping, ping, ping -- can keith feel the panicked embarrassment? ]
Yeah.

[ oh look. here’s one more ping. ]
Took forever to pick out all that glass.

[ pingpingpingpingping so this must be what it's like to live inside a pinball machine. keith reads as the texts come in one after another, not sure if he's impressed or something else, but that last text flips the whole thing over on its head. ]
wait.
did youdf
[ and that's some gem bumping into him in the grocery because guess who just stopped walking entirely. this guy. a curt watch where you're going?! later b/c this is obviously they're fault, keith stands off to the side and resumes texting. ]
you mean from the floor and stove right

[ … ah.
right.
probably should have nixed that last text.
hindsight is 20/20 and shiro wonders what the success probability is of erasing the message an’ convincing keith he imagined it.
not good, he'll wager. so onto plan b: evade and pray. ]
Among other places.

The way you want me to answer would be a lie, so…

[ okay probably shouldn’t leave it at that. so have this 6.2 seconds later. ]
You don’t have to worry.
I got out all the glass before I ate anything.
Probably
[ fucking backspace on that last line and not sending that k. ]

[ Huh, yeah, Keith is notably a lot chiller today, though Riku assumes that the powder made Keith act differently last time. That's okay, though. He's fine with getting to know the real Keith. Especially since he's wearing another cool jacket....!!
His eyes linger on the jacket for a moment before he turns to look at the menu. Boba tea sounds really good, and Riku is making note of some of the odder combinations...as well as something at the bottom of the menu:
Boba Roulette! Get a random flavor with your drink, with a 1% chance of getting a little bit of spice in your tapioca! ]
...Huh? "Boba Roulette"? I guess that could be pretty fun...but if you've never had boba before, the house blend might be a good place to start!

[ short delay as someone gives keith a concerned look before very timidly asking if they can possibly open the freezer behind him. gosh, it's like the entire world is out to be a hindrance in his lecturing??? rude. ]
ok look. just promise me something?
if your stomach starts hurting, you have to go to the clinic ok?
