Sanada

[battered]

[Truly one of life's big mysteries.]

Yeah, that's right! [He knows how to cook well enough, so it's not like Raichi's complaining or anything, but he is also 100% completely unable to resist the allure of some well-grilled meat.

But...! An invitation to visit! Give him a second to quickly shove some of the pilfered food into his mouth before he answers.] Really? Would that be okay?

[goingbananas]

[ And Sanada is apparently unable to resist the allure of MANLY CARNIVORES or something ]

Sure, it’ll be okay. I’ll just take you out for lunch elsewhere if it bothers him that much. [ Though he’s sure Mei won’t. Probably.

He’ll protect u from Mei’s wrath Raichi ]

[battered]

[Even an otherwise human disaster can be appealing with the right combination of a voracious appetite and strong arms, apparently.]

That sounds amazing! [His eyes are practically sparkling at the thought, as if he's somehow forgotten the food right in front of him. Or not, as he takes another bite shortly after the comment.] We should do that, definitely!

[goingbananas]

[ Looks like he’s easily manipulated too… Concern… ]

You’re pretty eager, aren’t you? I guess all that energy has to come from somewhere…

DRAGS MY SORRY ASS BACK HERE

[battered]

[That’s not really so bad under such casual circumstances, at least? Probably? For something like ‘come over for a meal’, it’s not as troubling as it could be, at least.]

It sounds like fun! I don't really... get out a lot? [Through no one's fault but his own, honestly, so there's really not much self-pity to be found in his tone, it's just a fact more than anything else.] So it would be fun!

WOW THAT'S SANADA'S JOB

[goingbananas]

[ He’s still coming over for a meal at Mei’s place, where anything can happen and terrible disasters might occur.

Or worse, Mei might bully him into a baseball game. ]

Well, why not? [ He’d seemed like the athletic type…and being a huge carnivore to boot certainly helped… ]

You seem like a pretty strong guy! I thought you’d be out all the time.

Drag my ass, Sanada-senpai.

[battered]

[Baseball, that would be truly tragic. Don't warn Raichi or he'll back out of the deal instantaneously probably.]

Oh, I'm outside lots! [It's easier to keep himself busy messing around outdoors than doing some kind of delicate work like cleaning inside, after all.] But, uh... [How to put this?] Just by myself! Usually.

well if you insist...

[goingbananas]

That sounds kinda lonely. [ Bruh do you not have friends… ] But then again, your temple is a lot livelier than mine, right? I guess I can see why you’d keep to yourself.

kyaa~a ♥（´∀`メ）

[battered]

Yeah, it's always pretty busy! My god has two other shinki, and then Sora visits a lot, sometimes other gods, too.

[So it's not really all that lonely! But, 'livelier than his', huh?]

Does your god not get a lot of visitors or something?

[Embarrassing loser god, zero friends??]

mwahahahaha...

[goingbananas]

[ Embarrassing loser god and antisocial shithead shinki. Sanada’s got it rough rooming with those two. ]

Well…it is a long way up to his temple…

[ Dang he hopes that won’t deter Raichi or anything ]

[battered]

[Don't let Mei hear you say anything besides 'blessed with the best god and also best roommate' or something I'm sure that would bruise his ego and/or rile him up]

Ohhh! [As if that explains everything. He doesn't look very dissuaded by this information in the least, but more to the point he doesn't connect how that would personally apply to him visiting. He's already gotten the invitation, so a hike isn't really an issue, apparently.] Some of them are like that, huh? Hard to get to?

[goingbananas]

[ Look, a hike that long would’ve tired out a mere mortal like Sanada, but Raichi really is more like his two housemates anyway… ]

Ha. Yeah. And my god can get pretty intense about baseball. [ Just a friendly warning, you know. Not that Sanada isn’t already trying to recruit him, however subtly. ]

[battered]

[Look just because you have lousy stamina

But it's probably fair to assume that everyone isn't some kind of non-stop sports monster. Carry on.]

Really? [But, that's a good thing!!] So! We'd probably all play together at some point, right? [Whoa, exciting!!]

[goingbananas]

[ Sanada’s a berserker type okay. There’s a huge handicap to all that power he brings to the field!! ]

Hey, we really should! [ Wow Raichi’s reaction is pretty encouraging here!! Gotta wonder if he might be strong enough to blow away Mei’s pitches… ]

You know how to play, right? [ DON’T GET HIM ALL EXCITED FOR NOTHING NOW… ]

[battered]

[Does he know how to play]

Yeah I do! [There are some things a body doesn't forget, even with memloss in play. It's fun, something he's obviously got some kind of talent in, and that makes it something worth finding out more about.] Kahaha! I just don't really know anyone else who plays!

[So, uh, practice is usually solo. The idea of having more people to play with though...! Yes! Please!!]

[goingbananas]

[ Clearly this is the beginning of something truly amazing— ]

You don’t? [ How have you lived, Raichi?! ] Then you should really come to our temple! Everyone there knows how to play baseball, and my god is a real monster at it.

[battered]

[He has not lived, in fact, he is dead (just like you are Sanada).]

Uwoooohhh! Maybe we could get a whole team? That would be incredible!!

[Maybe that's a little ambitious at the moment, but, hey. Why not be ambitious?]

[goingbananas]

[ Okay point but at least he died with a baseball bat in his hands!!! ]

Heh, right? [ Man he’s getting all stoked about this all over again ] What position do you play anyway?

[battered]

[Ball is life, b a l l i s d e a t h.]

I don't know! [At least he's honest?] I like batting a lot, though!

[That'll only carry a team so far, but it's a better start than nothing.]

[goingbananas]

[ Well, given that he’s also a shinki, he’s not surprised. ]

Ha, I should’ve known. [ That was some impressive swinging he’d seen back during the zombie attack. ]

I’m a pitcher. So’s my god, and my partner’s a catcher. We really could use a batter, so you're good!

[battered]

[Like some kind of finely honed batting-monster. H u h.]

I wanna see you pitch! I bet you're amazing at it! [Especially with a couple of other people around often enough to practice with, and all.]

[goingbananas]

[ He laughs at the compliment. ]

Heh, you’re too much! [ The way he lights up at the prospect of seeing someone pitch is incredibly endearing though. ]

I’m nothing like Mei, though, but I’ll pitch all you want. [ Little does he know that Raichi might indeed be Too Much for him… ]

[battered]

... Mei? Like, Narumiya Mei?

[That is the first time Sanada's actually said the name of his god, and Raichi's train of thought on just how exciting the idea of training is gonna be sort of takes a pause. They've met! He knows that guy! It might not be the greatest thing that they've met, but they have!]

[goingbananas]

Yeah! You know him? [ Does that mean he can be proud of Mei for getting along with folks possessing a Y-chromosome??? ]

Or better yet—have you seen him pitch? It’s pretty amazing!

[battered]

I have! [Is this a good thing? Or not?] He was...

[And, here, he has to stop, and think about what the best way to put the encounter the two of them had is. Part of him wants to jump right to 'full of himself!' but once Sanada brings up his pitching, which Raichi did in fact see to some sort of degree... he can't really deny it. A good pitcher with a disrespectful personality! That's Narumiya Mei!

Rather than finish his initial thought, totally stuck on how to put it (the weird pause might be fairly telling, however), he instead addresses Sanada's other thought.]

I saw him pitch! He was using apples, though. [But he was still ridiculously good.]
