[ at some point after the night's wild festivities have died down, majima comes to find tonbo. there's a slight stagger to his step as he approaches, but for someone who's drunk as much as he has tonight, it's impressive that he's on his feet at all. hopefully they're somewhere with seats, because it doesn't take him long to plop down...somewhere in the spear's general vicinity, whether that means on a beanbag, a bench, or just the bareass ground itself. ]
...was I hearin' right? That ya had a partner ya left behind, too.
[ like, not to be nosy, but... worm............. ]
[ what if i said majim is just fuckin splayed out on the floor because i think it's funny? but no, tonbo's probably on a bench somewhere, watching everything fade into the night with a minor melancholy expression. it's fine. ]
Mm.... Though, I suppose I'm technically the one that should have been left behind.
[ they are now bench buddies, then, majima taking care to sit on tonbo's left. he prefers not to have anybody sitting on his blind side if he can help it.
with the specific way the spear phrases that, majima blinks. huh... ]
...ya died on the—on the boat, an' they got to go home?
[ he's doing his goddamn best to stop calling it the fuckboat. ]
.........Mm. Our options were remaining behind and trapping the demons upon the island with us or returning home with the rest and unleashing them upon all of our worlds.
[ boy, does he sound frustrated ]
As the last death, the choice had already been made by the time I revived.
Well, yeah, but we knew from the beginnin' that we were all gonna make it out alive at the end... even the games who ended better than yours still "earned" that much.
[ there's only a slow blink but you sure can see the shrug behind it. a sword doesn't know trauma until they're smacked in the face with it after all. ]
[ ...he just. facepalms. mostly just for the Sake of facepalming but also because he's a little incredulous, and he doesn't want tonbo to think he's laughing at him?? swords dumb... ]
You said you were fine talkin' 'bout things, but the look ya had on yer face—eyes outta focus, stressed eyebrows, stuff like that—is usually code for "I don't wanna talk about it."
[ he likes talking about his nikkari so it's fine, honestly ]
Mm.... I suppose later? Despite us being long comrades, we were not as close as one would expect. It was only after we ended up trapped that we spent more time together.
But yeah, I get that. There's just somethin' about bein' trapped somewhere together and tryin' not to get murdered that really leads to you gettin' way closer to people than ya ever expected...
I asked for his help and advice when we first arrived, not wanting to be unaware if such was asked of me. And then he kept teaching me all the way until the moment he returned home.

...ya died on the—on the boat, an' they got to go home?
[ he's doing his goddamn best to stop calling it the fuckboat. ]
you're the one who wanted this
[ boy, does he sound frustrated ]
As the last death, the choice had already been made by the time I revived.
YEAH BUT THAT WAS BEFORE THE LORE DUMP
That's fifty shades of fucked up.
ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ timing!
Mm. Quite.
[ god he needs like 20 drinks ]
While I'm grateful that this place prevents the curse from spreading I certainly could do without the rest.
no subject
anyway, he starts to rub his neck sheepishly. ]
...every time I hear more 'bout the other games, I kinda start to feel like an asshole.
no subject
I suppose other places certainly had an easier time than we did.
no subject
Well, yeah, but we knew from the beginnin' that we were all gonna make it out alive at the end... even the games who ended better than yours still "earned" that much.
no subject
Hah.... it certainly feels as if our ship had the worst outcome.
no subject
no subject
It did take quite a while for me to figure it out.
no subject
All right, I don't wanna accidentally be a jackass or anythin', how much of that place are ya actually okay with talkin' about casually?
no subject
I do not mind speaking of it.
no subject
Are ya familiar with the thing humans do when they say one thing but their face says somethin' else entirely? 'Cause yer doin' it right now.
no subject
To a point but... [ he pats his cheeks like it'll explain to him what it's doing ]
no subject
Uh, you good, Tonbo-han?
no subject
[ or, like what it looks like on his own face that is. sometimes a sword doesn't know what the heck their human bodies are doing ]
no subject
You said you were fine talkin' 'bout things, but the look ya had on yer face—eyes outta focus, stressed eyebrows, stuff like that—is usually code for "I don't wanna talk about it."
no subject
Is that so...? Eh.... [ hm, anyways. ] But I truly do not mind.
[ for now ]
no subject
I guess... were ya already into each other before ya started bangin', or did the feelings come later?
no subject
Mm.... I suppose later? Despite us being long comrades, we were not as close as one would expect. It was only after we ended up trapped that we spent more time together.
digs this one back up
But yeah, I get that. There's just somethin' about bein' trapped somewhere together and tryin' not to get murdered that really leads to you gettin' way closer to people than ya ever expected...
slingshots all of it back
I asked for his help and advice when we first arrived, not wanting to be unaware if such was asked of me. And then he kept teaching me all the way until the moment he returned home.
