...

I'm going to need you to define 'things'.

[gimu]

Consumables. Knickknacks. Tchotchkes. Food items. Things.

[gorb]

An extensive list.

Yes, I like things. I'm dead, not dull.

[gimu]

hello, dead, i’m choso.

ok let me narrow it down.

what will you NOT take?

[gorb]

( WHO ALLOWED THIS?

Also is Choso trying to give him something? Does he need to add him to the list of begrudging holiday gifts? Will he? Only time will tell. )

I don't need anything.

[gimu]

that wasn’t part of the question.

[gorb]

... Nothing living. Someone tried to give me a puppy once. I did not keep it.

[gimu]

no bugs then, ok.
you’re so hard to shop for.

did you… eat the puppy?

[gorb]

Yes.

( No. )

I had Manami take it to a shelter. Also no bugs, absolutely. If I get a pet I'd get a cat.

[gimu]

[ ! ]

impeccable taste.
you are a definite improvement.

[ over the thing that was wearing your skin, he doubtlessly means.

… but which part does he mean?? ]

what about liquor?
that seems like a dirty priest thing.

[gorb]

Do I seem like a dirty priest to you?

[gimu]

absolutely.

[gorb]

Ha.

The higher alcohol content the better.

[gimu]

that’s manageable.
okay.
i will destroy your liver this coming holiday.
if fortune is with me i may join you.

[gorb]

Fine. Just don't be boring.

What about you? What do you like? Bugs?

[gimu]

i don’t know how to be boring.
lucky you.

but yes, actually, bugs.
they’re interesting when they’re small.
but i like cats more.
and i like yuji the most.

[gorb]

Will you tell me about bugs or do you have other ways to be interesting?

( Hard to be less pointed over text so this is a wonderful segue. )

You love him.
Your brother, I mean.

[gimu]

i can show you supernova if you really want something neat.

[ no. nope. naw. don’t do it ho ]

i do.
yuji is everything.
he’s capable of anything.
i love him more than the world.

[gorb]

Good.

What is supernova?

[gimu]

blood.
i can give you a demonstration or two.

[gorb]

Ah.

I suppose that could do.
