[situationship]

We usually give food offerings in Japan.

[ So the bag is... Food.

Also don't worry about tag order be free ]

[turbulency]

[ looking in the bag, amused ]

Do you have any particular mourning practices, Kate?

[sootprints]

I'd usually leave flowers... but Pestilence said they can't really afford to give away as many as people have been requesting.

... I think food will do nicely.

[turbulency]

People have been requesting that many?

[ huh ]

I hadn't left anything before this.

[sootprints]

It sounded like it. I suppose the garden can't keep up with our losses...

[turbulency]

We are losing a lot.

But it's nice to try and remember them all.

[sootprints]

... Yes. I think it's the least we can do for them.

[ sadly sets a bottle of fountain doo in front of the memorial. i assume there's a memorial at this point. idk locations don't update until monday. ]

[situationship]

It's slowing down, at least.

[ is it... watches Caelus die. ]

I brought enough for everyone else, too.

[ Other dead. It isn't like A FAMILY PLATTER, just like equal amount of small foods. ]

[sootprints]

You did? That's very thoughtful.

[situationship]

I don't want the spirits to get angry over favoritism.

[sootprints]

[ looks around as if to confirm there are no angry spirits present. ]

... I'm sure they have more important things to be angry about.

[ like being murdered! ]

[turbulency]

[ thinks ]

I don't know. Aventurine strikes me like the kind of guy to get mad about favouritism.

[sootprints]

He was talking about eating leeches the last time we spoke, so he should be grateful for what he gets.

[ offers leeches for him and karma specifically (no) ]

[turbulency]

He wanted to eat leeches...?

[sootprints]

I'm not sure who he was suggesting should eat the leeches...

[situationship]

Camille also mentioned eating leeches to me...

[ CONNECTING THE DOTS! ]

Leech offering?

[sootprints]

I think even I would become a vengeful spirit if someone left leeches on my grave.

[situationship]

Noted. No leeches for you.

[turbulency]

... Yeah. We should be equitable with our offerings.

[situationship]

Problem is our staple is bland food... But everything else is dependent on rotating locations.

[ Rubs his neck. ]

Caelus brought me manga on Thursday when I was tripping, so maybe I'd drop some volumes off, too.

[turbulency]

[ thinks ]

Cowboy manga for Boothill, poker manga for Aventurine... A bible for Lucas? Swimming manga for Aqua...?

[sootprints]

Caelus...

[ sad. this one's kind of a fresh wound. ]

I think that would be nice.

[situationship]

It's a good thing there's no cursed energy here, or else we'd need to cremate everyone.

They're not sorcerers, but this place is strange and could have done something weird where after they die they'd become vengeful spirits.

[turbulency]

We have enough problems without vengeful spirits.

[ sighs ]

Don't speak it into existence.

[situationship]

[ Shuts up because he spoke losing their showers into existence. ]

[situationship]

[ he will find... familiar food in containers. Whatever is available this week. And also candy. ]

Do we know what Americans usually do? Breaker was American, right?

[turbulency]

Preaker.

I think they just leave flowers at graves. Sometimes wreaths?

[situationship]

[ not my phone doing this to me. ]

These last names are weird. [ It's all right to make fun of western names. ] So the normal.

Hmmm. We could leave people their favorite things, but that's also limited to what we have and know about them.

[turbulency]

[ scratches his neck ]

I don't know what her favourite food was.

[ glancing at kate... ]

[situationship]

[ glances at Kate ]

[sootprints]

Hm? I don't know... she seemed to like a lot of the snacks at the gas station.

[situationship]

... Chips and soda aren't appropriate for funeral offerings, but... We do have some in our basement.

I can go get those.

[ Gives Suguru the bag of food. ]

[sootprints]

Oh... they're not?

Hm...

[ ponders your customs. ponders the fountain doo. ]

[turbulency]

It's alright to tweak customs to suit those that are involved. Camille would probably appreciate Fountain Doo more than mandarins.

[ ... ]

And we don't have mandarins so it works out.

[sootprints]

I... I see.

[ relieved. ]

If there are mandarins in the next place, then we can bring those next time.

[turbulency]

I don't think Camille is a stickler for tradition anyway, do you?

[sootprints]

Definitely not. That was something I liked about her.

[situationship]

[ Comes back. ]

I have other sodas when combined can make the colors of the American flag.

[ AND YOU KNOW OTHER COUNTRISE BUT THAT ISN'T IMPORTANT ]

[sootprints]

The what flag?

[ guess who somehow went four weeks without learning about america ]

[turbulency]

It's the country Camille is from. We have it on our version of Earth true.

I don't know if she was patriotic though.

[sootprints]

Oh. So you know about the place she came from?

I don't recognize any of the places I've heard of from the people here...

[turbulency]

Yeah.

[ he's about to start listing off useless facts about america... about the geography, neat animals, prevalent foods ]

[sootprints]

[ i'm sorry to say that if he does this she will politely listen ]

[situationship]

It's a country!

[ that's all she needs to know. ]

[sootprints]

Oh!

[ enlightened. ]
