BOND

[guardiandeity]

Who: This guy and YOU
When: Day 52, Early Afternoon
Where: The gym, and wherever he can find you

[ Are you planning on training today? No? Too bad. This short guy is determined to get you to do just that ]

That's enough wasting around!! Let's have a contest, five laps around the gym, and then weighs! Whoever finishes faster and lifts the heaviest gets a meal from 80H-san! And you get to choose it!

[ She had literally just walked into the gym - ]

What if I want you to make me a meal instead?

[guardiandeity]

No way, that ain't gonna work!! I don't know how to cook, y'know! Besides, a beautiful girl deserves a meal made by godly hands!

[bluediligence]

[ beautiful girl? oh right he's talking about 80H, that tracks. 80H is gorgeous. ]

Hmm, but a challenge like this is more fun if the loser has to do something for the winner!

[guardiandeity]

But if I win, then that would mean you'll have to do something for me ...

I can't do that.

[bluediligence]

Huh? Why not?

[guardiandeity]

[ a HOME MADE MEAL made by a GIRL especially FOR HIM. No way ]

It doesn't matter! You got guts though, huh! Thinking you'll win no matter what? I like that!

[bluediligence]

I've done a lot of practice for things like this! [ Kinda ... ]

[ Grins at him. ]

If I win, I want you to try your best to make something. Learn how to make a meal, or bake cookies - anything like that. It'd be good experience. You don't have to give it to me, either. You could give it as a gift, you know? As part of a Bond.

[guardiandeity]

Huh? Isn't it better if I give it to you, though?

[bluediligence]

You could ...

But! It'd be a fun way to make a new friend! Ah, speaking of which - my name's Faito, it's nice to meet you and challenge accepted.

[guardiandeity]

Even your name is full of fighting spirit...!! You're a real manly one, y'know! And you're a pretty girl to boot - that's amazing!

I'm Susanoo! It's nite to meet ya, Faito-san!

1/2

[bluediligence]

[ mANLY??? ]





[ but also a pretty girl????????????? ]

[ wh ]

[bluediligence]

I-I'm not manly!

[guardiandeity]

Aren't you? But it's like you have this RAAHGH and UWAA vibe around you.

[bluediligence]

Oh, so you don't mean ...

[guardiandeity]

Hah!? No way! Faito-san is too pretty to look like a man! But your spirit is strong!

[bluediligence]

[ oh no ]

[ BURIES HER FACE IN HER HANDS and just, squeaks at him! ]

[beeknighted]

The laps are fine, but can we negotiate on the weight lifting?

[I only have one arm I am at a bit of a disadvantage]

[guardiandeity]

Sure! It's gonna be 2 additional laps though!

[beeknighted]

I was going to ask you to tie one arm behind your back for it or something, but more laps are fine too.

[guardiandeity]

It's fine so long as we both get something out of it, right!? It's better to keep active, y'know!

[beeknighted]

Staying active is a good consolation prize, but 80H’s meal sounds nice too.

[voreaciously]

Ah, good day.

[she knows his name is "Mao" but that was the child her, so she really should not know it because surprise, surprise, she isn't fessing up to that. Her hair is different, but she supposes she can never take off her blindfold in front of him. Too risky.]

[voreaciously]

...I was not told this.

[guardiandeity]

[ he's gonna literally jump up on the spot the moment he sees her ]

80H-SAN!!! Good afternoon!

[voreaciously]

...Good afternoon, Susanoo-han. I see you are doing a bond.

[guardiandeity]

I wanna buy something cool, and awesome! The more bonds I do, the faster I'll get to my goal!

[voreaciously]

I see you have enlisted me to do it.

[guardiandeity]

That's because there's no better reward than a hand-made meal made from the hands of a beautiful goddess.

[voreaciously]

When you see one, do let me know.

[yearofthecat]

[ Will always get fired up for a physical fitness competition. ]

A contest?

I’LL WIPE YOUR SCRAWNY ASS ALL OVER THIS FLOOR!

[guardiandeity]

[ HE'S GONNA PAT HIS SHOULDER, like he's touched by the enthusiasm ]

THAT'S THE SPIRIT! But who are you callin' scrawny, hah!? I'm gonna teach ya some respect, you punk!

[yearofthecat]

[ wHY dOEs EVERyoNe kEep tOucHing HiM? There’s an instinctual urge to grab this guy by the arm and flip him over. He actually moves and gets his fingers wrapped around the shorter guys upper arm, but as soon as it happens, the instinct is gone. ‘Assess the situation first’ a voice tells him.

Instead he takes a breath and pulls the arm off his shoulder. ]

I don’t like being touched.

[ He may not know much about himself but he’s quickly realized this.

[featherbeaned]

[ ok but will he Challenge the large, mysterious ball of feathers curled up on one of the couches in the lounge car ]

[bowtiedbones]

[in athletic leggings and a cute shirt, READY TO WORK OUT]

Only five laps?

[bestbrotherever]

[Look at this somewhat weedy-looking nerd lounging in a chair in the library, just reading. He looks up from the book to give Yuu a withering look before pointedly looking back down.]
