Oh?

[wait shit]

Oh! Goodness, Sir Osomatsu does seem angry...

[Please don't be first murder please don't be first murder please don't be first murder]

[shikosuki]

He'll get over it once they fight it out at least.

...Probably.

[ don't just "probably" this shit Choromatsu you're supposed to be the fucking straightman this is how he's coping ]

[daughterofthemark]

I see.

[This seems kind of "um" to her, but if he's sure(ish)...]

Is this how things usually are?

[shikosuki]

[ A long, suffering sigh ]

Usually, yes.

[ No wonder Choromatsu is so... Choromatsu ]

Even the "delivery skit" is something we do back home...

[daughterofthemark]

[...y e p.

But also...]

You all must enjoy them.

[shikosuki]

I... guess so? They're a little weird though. [ When you're the one that has to witness them come out of nowhere anyway, less so when you're the one doing them ]

Mine was kinda fun at least.

[daughterofthemark]

Oh! What was it like? Do you suppose you could perform it here?

[Watch out Choro, Arianna wants to stab you with a fork]

[shikosuki]

[ oH ]

Ah-- n-no, no, no, I don't think I could...! Jyushimatsu was my partner in that one! It might feel wrong without him... [ yeah that's as good excuse as any ]

It wasn't as messed up as this one though. We just did a version of The Honest Woodcutter, but with a fisherman instead.

[daughterofthemark]

Oh, of course.

[...at least she's buying it?]

...I don't believe I have heard of that story. Or, I suppose, most stories from your world.

[shikosuki]

It's one of Aesop's fables! It's supposed to teach a moral lesson.

Basically a woodcutter loses his axe in a river. Cutting wood is his only means of income so he starts crying. Then a god appears and asks him if he dropped a gold axe or a silver axe. When he says neither are his, he gets an even greater prize for being honest.

I was the god when we did it... though I had to borrow mom's costume so I guess I was more of a goddess?

[ Goddess Choromatsu... ]

[daughterofthemark]

My! What a lovely lesson!

[Arianna is 100% on board with this Aesop guy.]

I'm certain you made a wonderful goddess. Perhaps you could reprise the role in a different story?

[shikosuki]

Ahh... w-well maybe...

[daughterofthemark]

...you would not be required to do so, if you did not wish it. But I believe putting on performances like that would be good for us all.
