[ Hello everyone, it's Riou sitting at a table surrounded by plants in his greenhouse that he worked on last month. It's relatively together, there's a wood table and bench with what looks like a hand-crafted outdoor bar behind it, as well as a lot of plants and a dirt and stone path leading into the plants. There are red cups at the edge of the table and a gun in front of him. ]

I was told this is a popular thing for people to do.

[ And so, Riou embarks on performing his own rendition of Cups.

Watch on YouTube

(If you don't want to or cannot watch the video, it's Cups except he assembles and disassembles a gun and shoots the cups. Please pretend the video is an actual video of him and not his face pasted on someone for the sake of this post ty.)

When he finishes, he sets the gun down with the safety off. ]

My greenhouse will open to the public between the hours of 8am and 5pm. Please practice gun safety while visiting. If you would like to stay after hours, contact me.

[ That's his advertisement. With Samatoki gone, mowing lawns just doesn't have the appeal anymore so please visit his greenhouse. ]

[Oof.]

Ah. That sucks, but it happens. You seem to be making the most of it, though.

[grylls]

[ sometimes you try to coup the coup that couped the government and the first coupers don't really appreciate it ok ]

I don't think I'm unlucky to be where I am now. Mad Trigger Crew are my family now.

[Point taken...]

Thank you, Riou-san. I may have to take you up on that sometime. In return, if you'd ever like to use my studio, you're more than welcome to.

[grylls]

Do you mind if I bring a friend?

[ He could record a duet with Jyuto 'u' ]

[koboreta]

Not at all.

I have more free time than usual on my hands, so I'd be just as happy to help you mix something as well. I'm always looking to improve, and it's the least I can do to thank you for your kindness.

[grylls]

Can I come by soon? I would like a tour of the space and a briefing on the technology as it may be different from my world.

[koboreta]

Of course. Just tell me when and I'll make the time.

It's only a room in my apartment, so I hope that's alright. It may be somewhat small, but it has all of the equipment I need to produce my own music, so I have confidence that it'll get the job done.

But if you'd like to use one of the studios at 3CLIPSE instead, I can help you book one through the agency.

[mysophobic]

It's so cute!! (≧∇≦*)

[ And this is why Shigeru could never eat any animal he's tending to. ]

But you're right. Though do you think they have books or something on...cooking exotic creatures here? Like those...octopi for instance?

[sendinthedelta]

[Exactly!]

Man, that's awesome. Having people you can rely on like that is important.

[grylls]

We are comrades. We always have to have each other's back.

[ He would die for them tbh. He'll do his best not to because he's a survivor, but he's not a man who can exist without something to fight for. And so he'll fight for them. ]

[grylls]

I will try to show you a real one someday.

[ ..A live one. Not a food one. He should get to see the animal while it is alive! Then whether or not they eat it will be up to Shigeru because he's not gonna make him meet his food first. Riou doesn't mind, but he knows a lot of people take issue with that. ]

Be careful about consuming the octopi. Contact with them can result in lactation or aphrodisiac effects, depending on what you come into contact with.
I haven't found a book yet. It seems most of the population only likes standard fare.

[grylls]

The room is fine. I don't think Samatoki would want us going to 3CLIPSE.

[ It's too mainstream. He didn't want them to worry about selling, he just wanted their stuff to be pure. Riou wants to record it because there are people who want to hear it. The apartment room is fine, as long as the quality is good. ]

[koboreta]

It's easier that way, so I don't mind at all.

I'll see you then, Riou-san.

[sendinthedelta]

That's a good feeling, knowing someone's got you no matter what.

[Jill does. Leon probably does too at this point though he's not as open about it as Jill always is.

There's still a note of regret in Carlos' voice, though. Of memories and past betrayals. Of people he trusted who turned out to be less than what he had thought of them.

The other side of the coin is pretty damn painful, but he doesn't want to ruin the mood with depressing talk.]

They like you? Former military and all that?

[mysophobic]

Then I look forward to it! Earth has a lot of interesting creatures in it. And! They're not affected by miasma or anything like that. The creatures back home in my world aren't like that at all.

[ Shigeru is excited about seeing weird Earth creatures, so he definitely is looking forward to it!! ]

Well if you can't find one maybe...writing one yourself could be fun!

[grylls]

What are the creatures in your world like?

I'm not much of a writer.

[grylls]

[ He shakes his head. ]

No. They're a police officer and a yakuza.

[grylls]

Thank you.
Farewell for now.

[sendinthedelta]

Yakuza? Seriously?

[grylls]

Aa.

[ A very simple response. ]

[mysophobic]

My world? Well, most of them are dangerous and can really hurt/kill you if you're not careful!! I've been through towns in the countryside completely devastated by corrupted animals. Ones that were affected by the miasma, we call them corrupted. It...changes things, corrupts them, and they turn into eldrtich monsters.

[ Shigeru you're making it sound like a hellscape... ]

But we also have cute things too! Like cats and dogs! I've never had one before because...mysophobia, but they look adorable. [ Instead he has a pet squid?? But whatever he takes it for walks too, so it counts. ]

Well if it's just recipes with a little story behind them maybe someone else could write it.

[grylls]

I'm sorry your world has to deal with that.

I have two dogs. If you would like, you may give them a bath up to your standards. They are very well-behaved.

[ Honestly, Riou is probably dirtier than they are since he's going around outside and touching all the weird animals all the time, but if Shigeru wants to meet Smith and Wesson, Riou will subject them to a proper bath time and help keep them calm during it. ]

Do people want to hear hunting stories?

[mysophobic]

It's okay. People like me exist to help protect others back home from that sort of thing. So, really, it's not as bad as it seems. [ He did make it sound really bad, which it is, but at least phrobiests are around to help mitigate the damage done. ]

Really?! Dogs are really cute, but kind of messy, which is why I've never had one before. But I think a bath might help me get used to being around them!! I definitely accept! ヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ [ How exciting. ]

I wouldn't mind hearing some. But I've never been hunting before, so, it's pretty intriguing to me. The process and what you have to do, I mean. Especially if the animal you're hunting is super rare and elusive!! An exciting adventure to find a rare creature in the deep rainforest would make anyone curious, right?!

[grylls]

You do good work.

Yes. They are small, so they don't drool much and they are well-trained, so if you want something to stop you can command them to sit. Let me know when you are available.

If you find something rare, you shouldn't eat it unless your survival is at risk. Sustainability is important in hunting. Though there have been a few times I've attempted to capture and release rare animals.

[ Just to prove he is the top of the food chain. '_' ]

[sendinthedelta]

Geez. I wasn't expecting that. That's pretty wild. ... but cool.
