APRIL 29.... hello Keito
[It's real nice of that Keito kid to have made all of these worksheets for Japanese study, really. Hazel was surprised the other day, when Jae-Ha suddenly delivered them to him with his usual Jae-Ha flourishing, but he's kind of touched by it too... Hooter Kid isn't so bad.

The problem with having a magical spoken understanding of a language but only a very basic written understanding of it is this: he still can't read some of this. How does he do practice worksheets if he can't read them??

He decides he might as well call Keito, because why not call someone he's only ever spoken to on the internet. That's fine. Ring ring, nerd.]


A. YahooAnswersTXT
[So, as a (false) god with a domain of great things like love and youth and poetic inspiration, the prayers Hazel gets custom-tailored to himself sure are... as interesting as one would expect. Since he's been thinking for a few days now about what he should actually do as a (totally fake) god, taking into account his misgivings about the whole thing but still wanting to help normal people— well, he's decided to check Aengus' shrine every so often to see what he can do.

For the people. The people who really, desperately need help with love and youth, at least... The prayers manifest as plaques and handwritten tags hung on the shrine, so that anyone walking by can see exactly what he's dealing with, generally speaking.

Is this worth it... he doesn't even get paid, technically... He gingerly picks one up by its corner, not actually daring to pull it off the shrine in case that means he has to commit to it or something.]

Just one...? Mercy, I don't know what I did to deserve this.

[please..... this is harassment] The poor souls sure are in need...


B. hazel joins a gang
[Or: if you catch him in a variety of stores, he may be:

1. wearing a leather jacket, and shopping for more leather jackets
2. staring at a snack food and commenting that they Sure Are Tasteless Around Here
or
3. something else!! WILDCARD

He sure is out and about...]

[lol ok]

How could ya accuse me of stackin' the deck when ya just tried to win with a pair of threes? I did explain the rules...

[razzledazzles]

I wasn't going to back down!

[He went to the end with those threes!! He bluffed all the way and Hazel didn't buy a thing... Slowly, he slumps his head down on the table.]

Am I actually poor at this, or are you just terribly good?

[churchbelle]

[Aw, he's a sore loser. That's adorable. This is definitely in some part payback for drinking him under the metaphorical table.]

I did tell ya I tend to win. Maybe I'm not the best one to judge your skills against, like this...

[razzledazzles]

At the very least, I'll do much better now than I would have going into it blind.

[He probably explained in the middle of all this that he wants to go out for a poker night with some friends. This is fine. Maybe he can at least beat Gojyo...

Anyway, he sits up slowly, flicking his defeated hand back at Hazel so he can put the cards away.]

Alright, that's enough of that, I've learned it well enough.

[churchbelle]

[WELL......]

I'll humbly accept that as your loss, then. Wonder what I should get for my prize.

[Even though Jae-Ha flicked the cards at him like a baby, he's going to gloat... He's a winner. And as he picks them up to put them away, a Helpful Tip:] That Gojyo's a drunk and a sore loser. Get him worked up and he'll be seein' too much red to win, even if his hand's decent.

[razzledazzles]

I wonder...

[He just hums and runs some fingers through his own hair to try and fix it a bit when that advice comes out of nowhere. Blinking in surprise, he looks back to Hazel.]

You're acquainted? [How handy!!] How dirty, offering me his weak points.

[churchbelle]

[Welcome to Grudgewank. That Gojyo and his piss poor attitude... Hazel is taking his sweet time with these cards, maybe so he can talk shit.]

It'd be easy enough to tell within a couple hands, but I won't deny wantin' to know he's lost again. [do de do, cards...] He hates me, if I'm bein' entirely honest.

[razzledazzles]

Hates you?

[That's spoken so innocently, like why would anyone? He leans forward over the table a little bit just to peer at Hazel's face.]

Why?

[churchbelle]

[Oh, honey. This poor innocent soul.]

He's got all kinds of ideas in his head about all these awful things he's sure I've done, even if it's impossible for me to have done 'em. [Or at least one thing that he cleared up, but he wouldn't put it past Gojyo to think there are more... and he's bitter. Cool.] I'm nothin' but a soul-stealin' hack, as far as he's concerned. He's a lil fixated.

[razzledazzles]

[Oh. Suddenly he wants to take back calling him not bad looking. He frowns a little.]

Well, for his sake, I hope he doesn't mention any of that. [Fights over Hazel?? It's not entirely out of the question.] For a man who named his soulless shinki Asshole, I don't see how he has any room to talk about the qualities of a person.

[There was already a Tense Conversation about the handling of that.]

[churchbelle]

[Does Hazel think Jae-Ha could take Gojyo in a fight? He thinks Jae-Ha could break him in half over his knee, honestly. He shouldn't encourage starting fights about his honor, buuut welllll...]

No kiddin', he did that? Mercy, the man just doesn't tire of crude name-callin'. I'm sadly not surprised.

[razzledazzles]

If you'd like me to give him an exceptionally rough time, I won't even count it as your request for winning.

[He'll do it... free of charge. He's already going to do it.]

[churchbelle]

You'd do that for lil old me? I'm touched.

[Heh..... heh!! Eat it, Gojyo. Call him a cocksucker again now!!!!]

I'm sure it'll be a real fun evenin'.

[razzledazzles]

I can't forgive someone who's given you such a hard time.

[A soul stealing hack?? After how he's seen Hazel care? That's not beautiful at all.] I'll be sure to tell you everything, so look forward to it.

[Isn't he a good shinki?? He leans back off the table, offering Hazel a smile.]

[churchbelle]

[See that, Hazel is charming and people like him, Gojyo... hmph.]

You're a peach. [the best!! He's done with these cards, finally. That's probably enough card games for one day, since Jae-Ha fussed so much about losing at every hand of poker...] Wanna try somethin' else in here, or are ya through?

[razzledazzles]

[After he's been staring at Hazel the past how many hours, there's no way he can focus on something like a game of pool properly. So, he smiles, reaching out for Hazel's hand.]

Let's save some of these for another night, if we can remember where it is. Let's try a few more rooms and see what we find. [And smooch in the doorways some more, he's down for that.]

[churchbelle]

[A fine plan. He can just leave the cards on the table and stand, still holding onto Jae-Ha's hand as he comes around to the other side. Hey.]

Maybe there's another surprise? I'm interested.

[He's also interested in... kissing in doorways, which is the real plan. Let's go, loser boy.]

[razzledazzles]

There must be.

[ there must be surprises!! Or maybe Hazel will have totally seen it coming when Jae-Ha pauses in the next bedroom to tug Hazel closer for a kiss. It's not even in the doorway, but this is just fine. ]

Somehow, I'm already lost... [ he mumbles that against his lips, as cheesy as he means it, a small laugh breaking the second kiss he tries to give. ]

[churchbelle]

[Breaking tradition already?? Thank goodness Hazel is a modern man and can adjust to changes quickly. He might not be tugged closer so much as actually put himself closer at the first sign that Jae-Ha is thinking about it, free hand coming up to idly tap on his chest. Hmm.]

That so? [Is it possible for one man to be this precious, what the hell...] We better stay here 'til you're feelin' reacquainted with the place.

[Say more cheesy things to him, he loves this stuff, ugh.]

[razzledazzles]

Then allow me to reacquaint myself.

[ he is here with the cheesy lines. After this one, he presses even closer, taking Hazel's chin in his free hand so he can tip it up for a deeper kiss. One he doesn't have to kill his back as much for. ]

[churchbelle]

[Great, the romantic comedy he always wanted has finally begun!! Hazel slides his arm up and around his shoulders to quite literally pull himself up some more into this kiss, not quite on his toes yet. They can do this for as long as they want, or for a couple minutes until Hazel pulls back only to press a few shorter kisses to his face, wherever he can reach from here.]

Think it'll take a while to piece it all together? Or are ya more of a quick study? [Answering that is not required, as Hazel is already leaning into another deep kiss. Just keeping the cheesy conversation going, no big deal.]

[razzledazzles]

I'm something of a quick study...

[ cheesy conversation between physical affection is perfect in jae-ha's book. He smiles into their kisses, gently nudging Hazel backwards as they go. ] But to be sure it sticks, I may need to absorb myself in this again and again. It might not be a bad idea to get comfortable.

[ he's still nudging him helpfully backwards, whether they find a wall or a chair or a bed, he doesn't care, he just wants to be closer. ]

[churchbelle]

[A man with ideas! How attractive... attractively cheesy. Hazel gets the point, leading them back further into the room slowly, so their kissing isn't too interrupted. Somewhere around here there has to be furniture, or... a flat surface, generally speaking... ahem.]

I'll do my best to help, certainly. [He'd say something else ridiculous, but it's just then that he bumps into a conveniently comfortable armchair that's been in this room the whole time. The bump makes him lean back slightly, a surprised noise escaping him while he squeezes his arm around Jae-Ha so he doesn't fall... ah. Okay.]

Well, what do ya know, looks like that won't be hard. [Time to Get Comfortable. He can't help but laugh lightly into the next kiss, tugging Jae-Ha down with him as he starts to sit down. Come here, come here.]

[razzledazzles]

You know, I'm already feeling comfortable.

[ his own smirk answers that laugh as he leans after him. Soon enough, he has to slip one of his hands away to brace on the back of the armchair so he doesn't just fall on top of Hazel. He's a little tall for this, but it's fine, he's too busy kissing Hazel to care. Hazel is as good looking as ever, and he's eager to see what other new little noises he might be able to hear from him. This time, he doesn't have a cheesy line that's important enough to stop again for. All of his hesitance was gone now, left back in the kitchen where they'd agreed this was what they both wanted.

Jae-Ha has no chill. ]

[churchbelle]

[Jae-Ha has enough chill not to get down in this chair with him, what gives?? Now that Hazel has a free hand again, he simply takes a handful of the front of Jae-Ha's dumb pajama robe and pulls insistently. Come... here!!]

Y'could be more. [He's thirsty enough to mumble this against his lips before kissing him again. Come heeere.]
