And they're good tastes. β₯ It won't be until sometime next week, probably!! It's a pretty busy time until then, and you've got class prez things going on too, don't you? How's everything coming along?
[Nana might be blushing at her phone for no good reason.]
I do have lots of things for the election! We've made a lot of posters, buttons, some more stuff... and a bake sale is coming up! I'm putting that on next week.
I think it's coming along nicely! I'm doing my best. May the best candidate win, right?
[ Next week... icly Kagerou week, sorry people are going to be too dead to eat cookies!!! ]
Yep, you will~!! I saw the stickers and have a bunch!!! Have you thought about balloons? People love balloons!! And they do their best to show 'em off and keep them inflated as long as possible!
Get the red ones!!!!! Red balloons are the best!!!!!!! And yep, I like the froggies! They're very froggy!! Can I get a copy of the poster? I know the best place to put it~
The moment I get a copy of that poster I'm going to blow it up 10000000000x the original size and plaster it over the side of the dorms. That's a promise. Don't be mad.
[It's still pushed up onto his forehead, but honestly the length of the beak means it's still pretty obscuring from above.]
I might have to take you up on that. I never really got to go exploring mountainous areas back home, despite living so close to Mount Fuji. It's one of the things I was excited about when I learned where this school is.
[ From Kano's disappointingly limited knowledge of Mount Fuji that he can only picture as one single mountain on the back of a postcard, it's too famous a mountain to ensure any privacy, and too seemingly simple to play around in. These mountains are different, with the three years Kano's had them as his backyard; hiding in the valleys, laying in ambush on little paths up towards the peaks, it's where he played hide and seek with his guards, and he got very good at not being sought. ]
Hehe... Most people get all excited about the buildings or the food, but the mountains and forest are where it's at, isn't it? Places like these are ruled by nature, not any one person or entity~ In that way, it's a bit easier to breathe out here.
It's very different from back home. Inokashira Park is a nice place to get away from the city, but it's still fairly tame. It's not really the sort of place you go to make new discoveries...maybe it's my inquisitiveness as a detective speaking, but I've always loved finding new places that you're not going to find in any sort of travel guide.
[That...and those places are less likely to be packed. The more obscure a place is, the more likely he is to have the privacy to just relax and breathe, without having to worry about appearances or people demanding his time and attention.]
[ That's exactly why Kano likes the mountains, even when he has his own bedroom at the dorms. Inside, everybody knows where to find him, but out here... out in the mountains, when it's dark at night and it's a particularly windy day, he can stand in the middle of nowhere and scream and his voice will be lost in the wind, unseen and unheard, and sometimes that's relieving. ]
Hm~ I dunno that park, but those sorts of places are still pretty crowded. Does Mister Detective have a good sense of direction and can lead us home if I show you someplace cool?
[ He directs Akechi a little bit further past one of his hideouts, though the path they're taking is still easy to walk on, Kano having mapped out the best way to go where. Maverick has Kano's map to the mountains with these sorts of paths somewhere in his and Akechi's bedroom, presumably, unless he's throw it away. ]
I've made a hobby of exploring Tokyo, so I'd be in trouble if I didn't have a good sense of direction.
[Not to mention Mementos, but the specifics of the cognitive world are best kept to people he or Ren know well. For the time being, it's best to just pretend his experience in navigating is purely limited to mundane geography.]
Hm~ You're from the big city, huh? I'll be counting on you, then!
[ The place he leads Akechi... is to a river, the flow constricted to a trickle no more than ten feet or so across before widening again on its descent down the mountain. He and Yuya almost drowned in this river once; it wasn't a fun experience. ]
