[ hewwo kara. hope you don't mind running into majima as he's grabbing a bite to eat from the mess hall after everyone's returned from ikea hell. with a tray of food in his hands, he simply nods to kara rather than waving. ]
...hey. Been meanin' to check in with ya. [ beat ] How's Lili doin'? —An' before ya say anythin', I ain't tryin' to be rude, she told me not to use honorifics with her.
That... courting Lili means she's special to me - that it's supposed to feel like she understands me like no one else does. And it means wanting to spend a lot of time together, and going on dates. It's like a friend, but different.
So yer not completely clueless. All right, we can work with that. [ "we"??? ] Anyway, this is kinda what I was gettin' at durin' trial. Ya saw the way she was swoonin' over you when ya stripped, yeah?
[ is this... a look of relief on his face?! it might just be!! ]
Oh, thank god, I was almost startin' to think you were too emotionally constipated to have even tried.
[ that aside... ]
Guess it's just my way of lookin' out for people? Clearly, yer important to her, and the other way around. I wanted to make see for myself that ya got what it takes to take care of her. And, y'know, that ya understood what you were gettin' into with the whole dating thing.
[ kara's probably looking for majima so he can get lili's shoe back, right?? well, he better be thorough about his search, because the only way he's going to find majima...
[ he realizes a little too late that maybe he should have just went with "kissing," but—you know what, it's fine, kara took care of the situation himself. ]
Sure, sure. I'm feelin' benevolent, anyway. I tossed it under my bed for safekeeping, follow me back to the cabins.
Does it look like this weather is lettin' up any time soon? She made the choice to throw it at me while it was rainin', she deals with the consequences!
[ let's just fast forward to the cabins now... but as soon as majima unlocks the snabin door, he turns to face kara and just so happens to make direct eye contact with him, which means...
[ it takes a second or two for majima's eye to come back into focus after the memories end, leaving him staring blankly into the distance before kara's voice brings him back. ]
...I'm not, but that don't mean I can't pay my respects where they're due, does it?
[ he leaves it there for a moment as he goes inside, beckoning kara in if he wishes to stay out of the rain while he ducks down to retrieve lili's shoe. then, he grunts, ]

( week 1 ) wednesday
...hey. Been meanin' to check in with ya. [ beat ] How's Lili doin'? —An' before ya say anythin', I ain't tryin' to be rude, she told me not to use honorifics with her.
no subject
I don't care if you use honorifics or not. But why are you asking me instead of her?
no subject

no subject
Maybe she'll appreciate that you care enough to try, but she'll tell you herself if she wants you to know.
[ kara is not going to doxx her :/ ]
no subject
[ but he thinks it's ok to bother kara...? ]
I know I haven't known her for a long time, but she's a hell of a firecracker. Ya do know what you're gettin' into, right?
no subject
[ he pauses. ]
...What do you mean?
no subject
no subject
he looks around ]
She isn't here.
no subject
My god.
no subject
no subject
... the two of you are, uh, "courtin' each other." Is that right?
no subject
Why?
no subject
no subject
[ he's
so dumb ]
no subject
What I'm sayin' is... okay, maybe I started this on the wrong foot. [ HE BREATHES ] How much do ya know about relationships? Like, in general?
no subject
That... courting Lili means she's special to me - that it's supposed to feel like she understands me like no one else does. And it means wanting to spend a lot of time together, and going on dates. It's like a friend, but different.

no subject
[ hello?? ]
...She always does that when I take my clothes off. I'm used to it.
no subject
And ya understand that means she's into you—that she's attracted to ya?
no subject
Yes...?
no subject
All right, before I drop this on ya. Your name—it's Ookurikara, right? Can I call ya Kara-han for short?
no subject
No.
no subject
Okay, whatever, that ain't the point. The point is . . .
Have ya ever once kissed her?
no subject
[ why does everyone care so much about it!! ]
Yes, I have.
no subject
Oh, thank god, I was almost startin' to think you were too emotionally constipated to have even tried.
[ that aside... ]

no subject
[ what kind of helping is this? it sounds more like meddling. ]
Isn't that for Lili and me to figure out?
( week 3 ) tuesday
is if he thinks to check the communal bathrooms.
hm! ]
no subject
no subject
but nah, he's here in the open, washing his hands as the sound of a toilet flushing echoes throughout the building when kara comes across him. ]
Oh. Hey. 'Sup.
[ he raises a hand in greeting! ]
no subject
Give me Lili's shoe. She needs it, in this weather.
no subject
[ he genuinely looks confused. ]
no subject
The one she threw at you.
no subject
Oh! The one from while the two of ya were makin' out! Heh. What, she don't have a spare pair to use?
no subject
[ nani?
- not important ]
She does, but you know her. She has her pride, and she wants her shoe back.
no subject
Sure, sure. I'm feelin' benevolent, anyway. I tossed it under my bed for safekeeping, follow me back to the cabins.
no subject
[ majima. why.
he'll follow, though, just very confused-like. ]
no subject
no subject
Couldn't you have waited until the rain stopped, at least?
no subject
[ let's just fast forward to the cabins now... but as soon as majima unlocks the snabin door, he turns to face kara and just so happens to make direct eye contact with him, which means...
surprise! memshare time!! ]
no subject
[ with one memory, comes another. and once they've ended, kara gives a shake of his head. ]
...You're not the praying type.
no subject
...I'm not, but that don't mean I can't pay my respects where they're due, does it?
[ he leaves it there for a moment as he goes inside, beckoning kara in if he wishes to stay out of the rain while he ducks down to retrieve lili's shoe. then, he grunts, ]
You guys sounded like a fun bunch.
no subject
[ he asks like he has a right to judge? damn. ]
Try shouldering the fate of the universe and see how much "fun" you'll be.
