It's a place to get fuel for vehicles... Basically transportation technology made with just machinery. I think they're more common in other places, but the convenience store is there! Which has convenient stuff. Like food.
[ back to jjk hours... it is 2024 now, but here in 2007 Satoru and Suguru were tasked to protect a middle school girl before she merged with the a core sorcerer in society. It was her destiny. Until then, they watched over her.
And her maid got kidnapped, but they took care of that fairly easily after taking an airplane with caution. They both wanted Riko to enjoy her last day as herself with a beach episode. It may all seem silly, but deep down Satoru empathized with her—fate was etched into their birthright...
What harm was there to let a girl go to school, have friends, and go to an aquarium in her final days? ]
[okay normally i don't do back to back memshares because i like to let them breathe but one, there's no way that this doesn't immediately trigger her own. and two, funnily enough, there's a little bit of a theme here.
[ it is okay... they can go through the throes, but he thinks he isn't going through it as much as Karlach because whoof. He lets the memories simmer and even allows himself to reminisce that stressful Okinawa trip. Eyes working on overdrive, enhancing every single detail possible, searching and searching for threats. A barrier that keeps him safe. It was worth it to see Riko enjoy herself.
That doesn't take him more than a minute, so he crouches down next to Karlach, careful not to touch her due to the warning earlier. There was vengeance, fury, and misery—what a combo. ]
... Yeah. I'm alright. [she has to be, right? it's a little sad to resonate so much with the girl in his memory.] You did - you did a good thing for her.
She was a brat who hyped herself up. Said stuff like how she wasn't scared, she will become Tengen and Tengen will become her, that her soul would last for eternity.
[ Said without any heat. Riko was a little firecracker and he's begrudgingly fond—sometimes you are bound by the threads of fate, him included... But he won the roll of the dice. He rests his head on one knee, watching Karlach for the most part. ]
[ The "beating" engine... Experimentation isn't to far out there to him. Many, many minds out there are deranged and insane. ]
Was she that zombie that came out of the cemetery? [ During the first execution. He remembers her reaction and it wasn't what he expected from someone who seemed so grounded. ] It'd suck if you had more skeletons from your closet to worry about.
I hope it stays that way for you. Even if those guys' deaths didn't bring you closure or positive emotions, the future's going to offer a lot of moments that do.
[ If he were to draw parallels here... From a pattern, he feels like a lot of memories seem to echo. ]
Buuuuut I do have some new worries! Your days aren't numbered, right? That would make what I said worthless.
I guess that's a stupid question. Not all of us are immortal.
[ He's also just mortal. Thinking some more... ]
So how are we taking advantage of life! I always wanted to do is climb Mount Fuji? It's the tallest mountain in my country, but it's not like I can do it here, so I have to think of some newwww milestones.

Aw. What were you going to ask them for?
no subject
[ So he forgot.
But now he's going to... HOVER? Are these anti-lesbian fingers. ]
no subject

Fuck, and now it's gone. I spent my one ask on cigarettes, so we're out of luck.
no subject
I think one of the places that showed up in the tree probably have... Something. [ Fingers, he points. ] Got yourself stinky swamped?

no subject
A gas station? What's that? [also hit me with memshares]

so - he gets this.
and when they're both finished, she just kind of crouches for a second because aeugh.]
no subject

You doing all right?
no subject

What did that guy do to you?
no subject
Sold me to the devil. Zariel. She needed someone for this. [knocks on her chest - the engine there thuds, metal.]

[a sigh.]
Boots chopped whatever the fuck that was in half though, and I haven't seen anything of her since.

Buuuuut I do have some new worries! Your days aren't numbered, right? That would make what I said worthless.

no subject
Hah, I don't know. I take it as I go? Like dancing, last week. Trying to see how many people I could get to do it. Not exactly a milestone. But.
no subject
It's a challenge.
no subject
Hah. I'd be fucking amazed if Kanda wanted to even look at me, let alone dance with me.
no subject
... Did you do something to him?
