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…

Mitsuko knows.

I don't know what to do.

You were on TV today! [he doesn't know if that's a good thing or not, but he thinks it's kind of cool. Besides, it's not like anyone knows it's Hajime.]

If my family found out, I am not entirely sure how I would deal with it either. I hope that you can find a safe solution.

How are they reacting so far?

Holy shit.

What does she know? How much does she know?

How did she find out?!

[He doesn't know what to do, either, but maybe he'll figure something out if he finds out more...]

[Speak of the Grandpa. Before Bill connects, he might be taking a moment to muffle a bit of a bitter chuckle.

He might not have any advice from experience being the one who's been found out, but...]

Err. Well...

[A very substantial clear-the-way opening "Well". And then a less-affected - ]

How much do they know?

[ursoreckless]

Nice interview.

Do you know that the restaurant owner wants to know if the Lord Bugman is okay with being used as a promotion for his stuff?

If you figure that last bit out, let me know. My mother has already called, wanting to know if I'm involved in all that mess.

[He pauses, with a wince that's pretty obvious.]

I let it go to voicemail... I need to call her back, or she'll worry. And possibly get Dad to bring her all the way out here.

[And he isn't sure he can explain the mess of his house, let alone his part in things. Because lying isn't a thing he thinks he can manage. Also, in case you couldn't tell Hajime, he's in one piece.]
