[honestly, after all of that? sqx just really, really wants to relax. she's changed into dry clothes (though her hair is still damp), but she can't bring herself to just hang around in her room.
the bar is nice enough, she supposes, but it's just so different from home. so - with a "borrowed" jug of rice wine in hand, she heads to the simulation room with the intention of conjuring up the terrace of cascading wine and relaxing there.]
with a pint of ice cream (nat voice) baby sacked in a towel, holding it against his own head? it's fine. but then he's just going to glance over - it seems like he's set the simulation room to a beach at sunset.]
Shi-san...!
No way - ahh, do you want me to head out? You can go ahead and use the room!
Oh... It's Katsurahama Beach! Over in Kochi, Japan - my hometown.
[and he'll just gesture for her to come and sit by him - though he'll pause for a second before actually shrugging off his jacket and then depositing it on the sand!
it's not real, but he still doesn't want her to be uncomfortable]
You doing okay...?
[if she's getting tired of the scenery already after just a few days]
So it was - surprising. And not in a good way, to suddenly start hearing them in the tunnels...! [she takes another swig of wine.] Really, how is anyone supposed to be in the mood to indulge after that?
Heh - nah, I'm mostly okay by now. Was mostly disorienting, but I'm feeling pretty alright!
[HE GETS TIPSY FAST but somehow dodges hangovers. he just gives her a big grin and then gestures out to the ocean waves]
Let's head out! It's great - you feel the water and stuff, but your clothes don't get wet for real or anything! Let the waves carry away your troubles with 'em!
[time to just walk straight out into the ocean, then! she seems completely at ease with the sea, which. is a good thing in that she's comfortable? but also could be pretty bad if this was like, Real Ocean and she could drown.]

w0, wednesday
the bar is nice enough, she supposes, but it's just so different from home. so - with a "borrowed" jug of rice wine in hand, she heads to the simulation room with the intention of conjuring up the terrace of cascading wine and relaxing there.]
Ahhh, that was awful...
[oh! here's mineo, though.]
...sorry, am I interrupting?

[and also not the tunnel of love. yikes.
she glances around their surroundings... what a pretty beach.]
Is this a place you've been to before?

[with a grateful smile, she takes a seat next to him on his jacket, then opens the jug of wine.]
...that thing today was awful!
[she just. takes a swig of the rice wine out of the jug.]
I didn't realize there would be ghosts. I wasn't prepared for that at all!
no subject
he looks a little
nauseous at the sight of wine but he's not gonna stop her
before he raises his brows at that]
Oh - yeah? Not a fan? Me neither.... especially not here, when it feels like they could be real and all!
no subject
I really, really, really don't like them! Whose idea was it to send us into a tunnel with ghosts?!
[
gluttony's probably since they were the one that told them what to do.]
no subject
[like. to take a guess. but he'll just shift to face her more directly at that]
Bad experience with ghosts...? I don't really have personal run-ins with them or anything, but I'll hear you out on whatever you want to say...?
no subject
[just. euuuuugh. ghosts!]
So it was - surprising. And not in a good way, to suddenly start hearing them in the tunnels...! [she takes another swig of wine.] Really, how is anyone supposed to be in the mood to indulge after that?
no subject
[HE'S JUST ENCOURAGING HER]
Hm.... Maybe there's a way to get your mind off of it....? Is that why you came here?
no subject
[she smiles.]
What brings you here, Mineo?
no subject
[but he'll glance to her jug, and then the ocean in front of them, and then move to stand up]
Let's go enjoy the scenery then! If you're up for it.
no subject
[for. reasons.
anyway, she nods and gets to her feet as he does, taking another swig of the wine.]
That would be nice.
no subject
[HE GETS TIPSY FAST but somehow dodges hangovers. he just gives her a big grin and then gestures out to the ocean waves]
Let's head out! It's great - you feel the water and stuff, but your clothes don't get wet for real or anything! Let the waves carry away your troubles with 'em!

You're pretty smart.
no subject
whoa
he looks really startled even as he's walking backwards into the ocean too]
S-Seriously....?! I've been told that twice now - is this place just really lucky or something?!
no subject
[
does it count if at least one time is coming from someone who's incredibly Head Empty because, uh,,]
no subject
but he's just going to
laugh at that]
Man, I wish that were the case....! But ah - thanks, Shi-san.
I do try to have a good idea every now and then. This is one of 'em! Enomoto Mineo's Great De-stresser Plans...!
[and as they get closer to the ocean, he'll happily splash right into the waves. the water's nice and warm at perpetual sunset too.]
no subject
ahhhh...]
This is relaxing! The temperature of the water is great, too...
no subject
[BUT HE'LL GO WITH HER JUST IN CASE??? at least he doesn't mind this]
Yeah! I used to take my lil sis out here when I got to see her - hours could just melt away. Mom would normally start yellin' for us after a while....
no subject
[he's a big brother... no wonder she likes him]
no subject
[but he'll just move to float with her, looking up at the orange-yellow sky]
You got any siblings, Shi-san?
no subject
[just. floating!!]
I have an older brother.
no subject
[HE LOVES HIS BABBY SISTER SOOOO MUCH]
What's your bro like....?
no subject
[NOOOOO THAT'S CUTE... MINEO!! WHAT A GOOD BOY!!]
...my brother is really strict. But he's always looked out for me, and when I do something well, he makes sure to tell me so.
