Unhelpfully (for Senri), Sasuke grabs a handful of the tangerine's clothes and starts hauling him off with the two of them for one of the houses in the neighborhood.] Go. Get in. [No arguments. He's dragging Senri regardless.]
[ it's cool. they are in this house now. this house that taka is now looking around in, like he's making sure there is no one hiding in a closet or under a bed to stab them. it's all good.
once he's sure it's all clear, taka is just going to... go and collapse on the couch.
[Sasuke doesn't check anything like he's paranoid, but he does drop back against the door and heave a long, low sigh.]
Do you ever shut up, you idiot orange?
[He and Taka honestly look extremely Exhausted. They smell very faintly like smoke, but not a good campfire smoke. Burnt fabric kind of smoke. Senri already apparently knows what they had gone to do, so...]
That's all you need to know. [DON'T HOLD UP THEUHFHDSUF BRA!!! Sasuke's face actually turns gently red at the highest parts of his cheeks, and he quickly whips his head away so he doesn't have to look.] We found a hidden room in the armory.
It belongs to Cunning. While we were searching, Ambition and Disorder came in.
[This does not explain how they escaped. But anyway.
For a second, Sasuke pauses. Then he reaches up to pat his chest on one side. He reaches in his shirt to pull out a rolled up piece of paper. He looks from it straight at Taka.]
What the hell were those papers on the desk? You knew it was Cunning's room.
[ WHEN DID SASUKE TAKE THAT. WAS THE BRA NOT ENOUGH. DOES HE WANT TO KEEP KILLING TAKA OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
but he just... sighs. ]
I'm pretty sure it was notes on us. There weren't... names, or anything, but I could tell which were about me. Shit like which gods I've spoken to. It referenced a conversation I had with him.
No, hold on, I'd like to know more. [what the fuck. he places the bra over to the side? he might hang it on a coat rack in this random suburb home they invaded.]
Please return this to whoever it belongs to, taking it is rude and gross, you perverts.
It would have been a waste if we left without something!
[They couldn't even leave with their DIGNITIES? They had to take a prize!!]
Shut up! We're burning that before we leave. Stop touching it. You're the one who's gross. [But he's unrolling the paper he has so he can look over it again. Hm.
It looks... like a map?] Have either of you spoken to the gods about who they were before and what they were like? Any who actually gave you answers.
[ takaomi has already seen the map from when he checked out the desk earlier, but he'll get up so he can walk over. ]
I don't think the map is anywhere here, so... you think it might have to do with Cunning's past? Like how the West Wing right now is from Merriment's memories.
[ if senri looks at it, senri will see a map of a body of water, a pavilion, a bunch of little buildings, a forest, and what looks like a mountain, but it's all very messily drawn. ]
What? Burning it? It's a bra, not something freaky, stop being embarrassing.
[hE'S SO TIRED OF YOU BOTH. but senri will peer over sasuke's shoulder to try to actually look at the paper, blinking in confusion. his grades in geography are probably awful to begin with.]
Uh... I don't recognize this. [no one expected him to]
I've never met Cunning - so that's up to you two. But I know about Beauty and Sincerity.... I can ask about the past lives of the others too.
[A map seemed, at the time of their panic, to be the best thing to take. He doesn't know whether it's a place here or a place somewhere else. Or...] It could be a place he's planning to give us in the temple. [He hates this. It was supposed to be beneficial.]
I'm going to ask Ray to make a copy, and then I'm going to get an audience with Cunning. [He glances between the two of them.] They aren't gods. They're people. Like us.
Even now.
[rip sasuke has even less fear than before]
I know of one other room someone else found. I'm going to ask what they saw in it.
[senri will take out his phone and also take a picture of the map.... for his own reference, so he doesn't have to go looking around for the copy all the time.]
Do you think all the gods have rooms...? Hmm, I want to go looking in the Costume Hall and the Parlor then. Maybe Cheri or Beauty will let me see. I'd see Love's but it feels rude to search for a girl's room...
[though at taka's comment he totally nearly asks 'was she pretty' or 'was she cute' but can't quite find the right alternative set of words so instead it's just]
[If Senri actually thinks these two gays paid attention to Disorder without the mask, Senri is SO WRONG.]
And what? She's annoying.
[She hit him in the gut with and elbow and his face with her head, so, like, his nose is probably very, very slowly starting to bruise around the bridge.]
You should be fine. [He glances at Taka.] They didn't see you before you turned out the lights. [Him, though. YIKES.
His head snaps back around to Senri.] No. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Don't go looking for any rooms. If you do, I'll kill you. They were hidden for a reason.
Beauty wouldn't let anything bad happen to me. He'll just be sad and say no if it's something that he can't give me. I'm going to ask.
And Cheri... Mm, that's Cheri's specialty. He's really forthcoming with information - and it's a little harder to figure out if you're not his follower, but for his followers he'll say it clearly. [fuck] I don't know if I can get an audience with him this late....
[and he'll glance over at sasuke and briefly - ] Disorder hit you... Ugh, I hate her.
Beauty already betrayed you once. They aren't your friends, you idiot. We said no. [He hates he just said those words in that order.] Don't do it. You'll make things worse for us and everyone else.
[He starts rolling the map back up so he can put it in his shirt again. It's only after that he realizes--and reaches up to touch his nose, wincing only slightly at the eyes.
He glances at Taka. It's fine. That's what had mattered, right? Taka could get away.]
Tch... [He leans back when Senri leans in, scrunching his face, but there's only so much room with the door in the way.] You're not putting that shit on my face again.
[HELP HIM, TAKA. He abandons Senri to go after the fellow emo... even if the dumbass rabbit is just going to follow both of them into the kitchen.]
[ senri hit sasuke?????? god. he does not fucking care and will not ask.
but sasuke will walk in on taka getting ice from the freezer and making a lil makeshift icepack. he'll turn when he hears him approach, and just kind of... wordlessly holds it out to him.
look there are some things they should probably talk about but takaomi would rather die than say any of it in front of senri. mostly because it would require revealing the stupid shit they purposely did not tell him. so, ice your bruise instead, sasuke. ]
His face absolutely says, "You didn't have to do this bullshit," but he says nothing as he takes the ice wrap and... just... kind of holds it for a minute or two. His brows furrow, and he turns half around as Senri comes in making demands.]
You're nosy and annoying.
[He puts the ice wrap on his face, wincing, and glances back at Taka. If Taka wants to say something, Sasuke... will go along with it, he's tired of Senri's antics. But if Taka doesn't, he won't.]

no subject
Just because we get along now doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do...

It's not that bad.... if you bruise from where I hit you, maybe you can blame Disorder for messing up your nice face.

The bra.

The fire.
