[ The weather today is too awful to do any training.

Or rather, Zenitsu whined that he isn't going to train especially in a hazardous weather, so the two of them are cooped up in the living room. They're preoccupied by their own things, Tanjiro listened to Ukogi's complaints for awhile after he got bored reading the book he borrowed. The sparrow puttered away after finishing his most recent venting about a yellow cougar, passing by Tanjiro's communicator.

Curiosity got the best of him, he starts to fiddle with it and eventually he opens the texting application. Apparently he can send letters and messages with this machine, but he hasn't gotten around using it. He starts texting Zenitsu. ]

l;/df 🐦
🐦🐦🐦🐦

[ !! Birds! He sent birds! He hopes Zenitsu sees that. He looks up from his phone and grins at his friend. ]

Did you get that message I just sent?

[zapdope]

[ While Zenitsu's glad he's not getting dragged into training, he was feeling a little bored with not being able to go outside due to horrible weather.

He's gotten a chance to learn a little bit of how to use the device from Cyan during one of his slacking off at Petals & Pages, so he's already surfing around on it idly, while minimally listening to Tanjiro and Chuntaro talk to each other. What the heck you two, stop talking shit about him ok...

Anyways, Zenitsu's making sure his device won't scare the wits out of him if it ever goes off. So when Tanjiro sends a text, a tiny chime rings out from the device, and Zenitsu taps on the notification to take a look at it.

...Birds... He gives a small laugh at that. ]

Bird images?? That looks like Chuntaro!

[ He looks through the emotes...Oh hey! ]

🍡🍣🍙

Look, they got food too!

[scentsitivity]

Really?

[ Like an excited kid he is, he quickly checks his own phone and laughs along his friend. ]

You're right!

[The communicator is insane! He knows he can send and receive messages but they appear in the blink of an eye, it's like magic to his eyes. He sends Zenitsu back more food emojis. ]

🌰🍱🍘🍥

[zapdope]

Oh, they got pan-cakes too!

🥞

[ This is a little silly, Zenitsu definitely knows this communication method should probably be used for something more important like actual notices or something, but with how instant it goes through to the other person, it's hard not to play around with it.

He keeps looking through the icons some more and he recognizes something he's learned very recently. ]

Oh yeah! I got to try playing this the other day!

🎸

It's not a shamisen, but how you play it is similar! The girl who had it let me try it, even though it was her precious treasure! She was super nice.

[scentsitivity]

That's amazing, Zenitsu! It looks a little bit like a shamisen, too. There's a lot of nice people here, aren't there? The person you've met must have a really generous heart.

[ A lot of sad scents too, it wafts around more than a handful of people he has talked to here. He hopes Zenitsu's new friend is all right. ]

What's her name?

[zapdope]

The girl with the guitar? [ Zenitsu clarifies, and then gives his usual weird giggles. ] Her name's Cyan!

At first I was a little scared because she had cat ears and tail, but she's super nice and cute! She also helped with learning how to use this phone-tablet thing too!

[ Just thinking about her made his face look dumb. Well it's always dumb, but it's the goofy smile version. ]

I'm pretty sure she likes me!!

[scentsitivity]

Oh, it's Cyan-sama! So that's the person you met, she definitely has a gentle heart.

[ That makes a lot sense now, of course it was Cyan that Zenitsu had met. ]

Sometime early April/Lasai

[scentsitivity]

[ The arrangement had started not too long since he and Zenitsu arrived in Havenwell. It started out of necessity, because for some reason Zenitsu's bed keep shrinking every time he tries to sleep. And so, Tanjiro let his friend share the bed with him until they figure out the curse.

They never really did find out what was going on but eventually the curse stopped by itself, and things return back to normal.

Kinda.

While they go back sleeping by themselves, Tanjiro would still find the blond crawling into his bed every now and then. It's a normal occurrence at this point that he isn't surprising to see him in his room, but rather the fact he's earlier than usual, just when Tanjiro just finished getting ready for bed. ]

Is there something wrong, Zenitsu?

[zapdope]

[ Ever since the two slept in the same bed back in January, it hasn't been the same for Zenitsu. It gave him a perspective of how much of a bad sleeper he is, because he most definitely didn't get to have such a relaxing and deep sleep as far as he can remember, due to his sensitive ears. Even while at the Butterfly Mansion, despite the fact that they were safe, because there were so many other people present as well as they were still far apart from each other, Tanjiro's soothing sounds weren't that effective.

Zenitsu did his best to sleep on his own after the curse ended, but when the earthquakes started happening, it became more frequent for him to seek out his best friend. The tremors are scary, especially because sometimes he'd hear the tremors start up before the actual shaking happen, and when it happened during nighttime, it made it harder for him to fall back asleep. The earthquakes seemed to get less frequent, but that made Zenitsu more wary.

Tanjiro goes to sleep much earlier than him, so it really must be strange for Zenitsu to be in Tanjiro's room much earlier than usual. ]

Uhm... Sorry. It's just that, with so much happening I haven't been able to get much sleep and I was wondering if it's okay to spend some more time with you tonight?

[ Earthquakes, and then Mitsuri arriving and she's also living in the same house added more sounds for Zenitsu to pick up.

Also, WAY TO MAKE IT AWKWARD!! ]

Sorry... Just let me know if you're too tired! I'll try to wear myself out by going out for a run.

[ He quickly adds because his own words made him realize how awkward this can be, so he's trying to find himself a way out of it. Very hypocritical, Zenitsu! ]

[scentsitivity]

[ His posture slightly relaxes. That's right, it must have been the recent earthquakes (and Mitsuri) that's been making Zenitsu more wary than he normally is. In his own keen sense he just felt a small shift in the air as the tremors happens, but it probably is much more different in his friend's sharp hearing.

He shakes his head as he walks closer to the blond. ]

No, not at all. I don't mind waiting for you.

[ Though there isn't much they can do to pass the time. For one, Tanjiro's room is rather basic besides his Nichirin blade being placed above his neatly folded uniform at the corner. ]

Is there anything in particular you want to do?

[zapdope]

[ Normally, when earthquakes happen, one would hear the tremors from the originating point. These quakes, however, are something Zenitsu can't pinpoint where it's coming from, and that's what's scaring him the most.

But when his friend offers to spend time with him instead of going with his own suggestion, he relaxes from being so awkward. Whew. ]

Well, we don't have much, not even board games from our home world, so... I guess we can just chat?

[ That's basically the only thing he can think of. Maybe he should just head out for a jog to tire himself out... ]

[scentsitivity]

[ He could always just tell him a story, but he isn't sure if Zenitsu would be appreciated with being compared to his younger siblings so much. Tanjiro takes a seat on the bed right next to the blond. ]

Sure thing, we could talk while lying down in bed. You'll fall asleep before you know it.

[ He carefully takes off his earrings one by one. ]

There's a lot to do here but not a lot of stuff we're really familiar with. People seem to really like spending time on their communicators from what I've noticed.

[zapdope]

[ No, Zenitsu is older than you by a year, he will never appreciate you comparing him to your younger siblings......

Even though he acts younger than them from time to time.

The moment Tanjiro mentions about the communicators, Zenitsu makes a sour face. ]

Don't you remember what happened last time when we were looking at the communicators... [ even though that was Zenitsu's jealousy doing the work though. ]

[right after the hug salary for May hits accounts]

[daikonrose]

[ oh hey zenitsu there's an extra deposit for like 20 bucks worth of dora in your account from ???

nice ]

[zapdope]

[ excuse me?

NOT NICE??

IS THIS A SPIRIT'S DOING?!

ZENITSU IS GOING TO FREAK OUT

REALLY BADLY ]

[zapdope]

[ The residential area may hear someone's disgustingly high-pitched voice ]

Backdated to yesterday

[scentsitivity]

[ It's a beautiful late afternoon in Havenwell.

The sun was setting, and the weather had been rather gracious that there isn't any freak occurrences. It's been rather peaceful. You can pretty much ease to the evening without any worry and just get comfortable for the rest of night.

Or it should be until Tanjiro's yell can be heard from the kitchen in that very beautiful late afternoon. ]

[zapdope]

[ exCUSE ME PLEASE WARN ZENITSU BEFORE YELLING LIKE THAT

Zenitsu actually didn't have any plans and was playing his shamisen to pass time when SUDDENLY TANJIRO'S YELL is heard

You bet Zenitsu also jumped and screamed at the yell

and then immediately scramble to see what's happening because it's not every day where Tanjiro is caught off guard and this world is definitely a lot more safer. ]

Whatwhatwhat!? What happened?!

[ Zenitsu's at the kitchen doorway. He's worried, but still too scared to step into the area. ]

[scentsitivity]

THE REPLI-CATOR!

[ He didn't think the day would come but who would have thought, the machine suddenly has more options than before. Even by the smell, it's miles better than any of his cooking so far-- they've been nice but he could always tell that his cooking has missed a beat once every occasion.

He walks towards Zenitsu and holds up a small plate.

Wagashi. ]

[zapdope]

[ Zenitsu gives a good look at the plate. It takes a good moment for Zenitsu to figure out what it is, because it's been six months since they properly had something from Japan. ]

Is... is that a daifuku? How'd you get that?!

[scentsitivity]

The robots replaced our repli-cator. When I tried it out, this new one has daifuku in it for some reason and the best part is that it always tastes the same.

[ Listen, he's all for trying out new, different food but he was missing some of the simpler things and he didn't have the heart to constantly ask other people for their replicators. He has a small fork on one hand, ready to slice the sweet in half. ]

Let's eat it half and half Zenitsu, it's really good.

1/2

[zapdope]

[ Zenitsu definitely is about to agree to having some snacks. He's always got room for sweets, don't underestimate his stomach!!

But when he sees the fork in hand, Zenitsu feels his heart skip a beat. ]

Eh? Half and half?

[zapdope]

Why can't we have whole ones? the replicators don't cost anything, right?

[ Zenitsu's not sure if sharing a snack like this is good for his heart.

Never mind that he's shared a rice ball before, that wasn't even his own food to begin with.

Also, because why share when they each can have one? ]

Left by his door, around birthday times

[gatescostmoney]

[ There is a small, handmade bag made out of some the patterned fabric sold in stores during the anniversary celebrations. One of the fabrics is a green and black checkered pattern. The other fabric is yellow with white triangles. The stitching is neat but clearly done by hand.

There's no note or anything else inside. ]

thank u mom

[zapdope]

[ would zenitsu think this gift is a birthday present for him?

not exactly.

instead he's going to think it's both for tanjiro for some reason and leaves it for him instead. ]
