22 | [Voice] Post-Snake Recovery

[chalicejoker]

I only slept two hours after yesterday. Two hours, after spending the whole day fighting. It's the tenth, right? I didn't just sleep through Monday without realizing it?

[Hajime sounds pretty worn out. The Lord of the Bugmen had a very long day after fighting Wise Snake, and he is blissfully unaware that his TV interview has been airing all over the place.]

Everyone's in one piece? Let me know if you need a good meal after everything that happened; I can work something out.

[He gives a long sigh. It would be even longer if he realized that the interview had actually aired.]

And if anyone's got any advice on dealing with your family suddenly finding out about this, that would be helpful. I think I'd rather fight snakes again…

[Private text to Jackson Isaka]
Mitsuko knows.

I don't know what to do.

Better have the Bugman Lord stop at your place saying how good it is then.

[he's teasing.

see? there's that little twitch of the lips that gives him away.]

[chalicejoker]

I...might have to ask Dad if he'd even want that. I wouldn't put it past some health inspector to decide he needs to shut a place down because they've had a really big roach infestation.

[He is trying to joke too, even if he is probably a little too realistic about it.]

[ursoreckless]

Must be really good food if the bugs get that big though.

[chalicejoker]

You could probably say the same thing about a radioactive Twinkie left in the breakroom of a nuclear power plant.

[ursoreckless]

...I think any Twinkie that's left in a breakroom long enough to get big is a Twinkie to be feared.

[chalicejoker]

No, the Twinkie would be radioactive and make the bugs grow really big...

[Man, the one time he tries to joke, and he fails at it. Sadness.]

[ursoreckless]

[shou is thinking logically here.... opps blame him]

Really? And here I would think the Twinkie was huge enough to feed a couple big roaches.

[chalicejoker]

Roaches do like Twinkies. It's a scientific fact.

[ursoreckless]

Everyone likes Twinkies.

Except me.

[chalicejoker]

More for me, then.

[ursoreckless]

Then you're welcome to eat my share.

[chalicejoker]

Thanks. I think I will, next time Twinkies are available.

[ursoreckless]

I thought that they are. Wasn't there big news release about that?

[chalicejoker]

Really? I must have missed it.

Guess I'm going to go grab a box after work...

[ursoreckless]

You go ahead and enjoy them.

[chalicejoker]

I think I will.
