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...]

[Hold the fuck up, let's not be coy about this—]

No shootin' in the house. No shootin' near the house, either. If he wants to shoot somethin', he can stay home.

[Like, they have all these framed pictures of Texas that don't deserve Sanzo's wrath??]

I swear if I find the man lurkin' in a corner huggin' his pistol, I'm not gonna know what to do.

[sanzohoshi]

Did he shoot at you? I'll scold him later, don't worry!

[SANZO... WHY. Sanzang sighs a little.] I'll try really hard to get him to leave the gun at home. Maybe if I promise to leave my sleeves behind too... [Which-- is a little uncomfortable for her, but dammit, she'll make the sacrifices if necessary.]

I don't think he'll hug it at least. He doesn't bring it to bed with him or anything, I'm sure he puts it down sometimes! And if he drinks enough, his aim won't be that good anyhow, right? [Haha... It's a solution, right?]

Or maybe while we're dancing I can try and get it off of him. [Oh, right, dancing-- She beams at Jae-ha] You'll dance with us too, right?

[razzledazzles]

[W...why would her sleeves be comparable, Jae-Ha doesn't understand. In fact, he doesn't understand most of this, and so he's quiet until the end where he's literally addressed. Some time during all of that, he did put a hand on Hazel's shoulder in some sign of support. The Texas pictures will be ok.]

I'm usually more used to being something like a musician, rather than a dancer... But if Hazel will, I wouldn't mind trying it.

[Why is that what it takes]

[churchbelle]

[Her sleeves...?? Is that a thing? Also: just learned Sanzo and Sanzang have been sharing a bed. Did he already know that? It's a big emoji blur.]

His aim bein' worse ain't really inspirin' too much confidence... [How about no shooting at all? That would be great. Hazel glances at Jae-Ha when he lays out his terms and conditions - he feels like he should refuse this, but he also feels strangely okay with everything.

Huh.

Alright.] I'd reckon that's fine.

[sanzohoshi]

[Sanzang claps her hands together in delight, smiling] Then it's settled! How about, hmm... The 2nd? That gives us all plenty of time to prepare for it, right?

[Just. Steamrolling right along.] And we'd need a musician anyway. I'd love to hear you play, Jae-ha! You played at the picnic, right? I'm sorry I didn't get to see you! [She'd probably been dealing with Hakkai picking fights with advisers at the time but ahaha no need to focus on that right now]

[razzledazzles]

That should work just fine. [Decides for Hazel because he assumes he'll be doing nothing anyway... But like, he's here to tell him if it's not okay. So it's fine.] That's right! Did you hear of my playing through the grapevine? How flattering.

Don't worry, I played for many adorable kids, and one of Amaterasu's advisors even stopped by to listen. [He had enough of an audience.] I'd love to play again.

[churchbelle]

[JAE-HA... fine, whatever. Hazel gives him a look for doing this again, right in front of him, even if he already said the dinner was fine in general.]

You'll have plenty of time to play while she spends all night tryin' to get Mister Sanzo up on his feet. [He's predicting it.] I'll get us the best wine for the occasion.
