[So, sometime after a really long dream - not that it was a bad dream - it had ice cream and rubber duckies and ... well some not as nice things but it worked out...

Uzume woke up without recognizing anything about his surroundings.

Not that this was the first time, but usually Koju was close by lecturing him about flood loss and moving around a lot.

Instead of bandages there was just this pretty gem stuck in his stomach.


It looked valuable. Like a LOT of meals valuable.

Like a lot of meals and a really nice inn valuable.


.... Time to try and pull it out.]

[BONKS ON THE HEAD. When did he even get here?? Who knows. Either way it's a solid bonk cuz you don't really hard to worry about the whole. Injuring Uzume thing]

Don't do that.

[sharp_as_a_tick]

[Yeah you might as well have punched a rock. It's kind of what you did.]

Ehhh? EH?

Utsuho!

[Distraction successful! TACKLING IN PROGRESS]

[ninetaledfox]

Uzume!!

[TACKLED. Play wrestling now commencing. It's a lot of rolling and laughing and. refreshingly not holding back at all emotionally or physically because again: It's Uzume.]

Took you long enough!

[sharp_as_a_tick]

[He rolls good-naturedly with the occasional flip or headlock, laughing without reservation. HIS THING. HE HAS MISSED HIS THING.

It ends with Uzume almost entirely draped over his friend.]

Ehhh? Was it a long dream for you too?

[ninetaledfox]

No, more like I was lured into a different world where I got super powers and a magic room.

Why, is my body passed out back home or something?

[sharp_as_a_tick]

Dunno. Everyone was saying I was asleep but it seemed really real.

Last I saw you, you were gonna travel and I was gonna get my people.

[ninetaledfox]

Where ARE the other people? I need Choza! Or Yakuma! Or Neya!

Or literally anyone else because you can't read.

[sharp_as_a_tick]

I can read.

[Kind of.]

[liarliarliar]

[How did I even get here. How did you even get here. WHERE IS HERE. WHY ARE THERE SHINY GEMS IN ME.

he's pulled down his shirt collar to just. tap. at his gem.]

Uh Uzume. Is this another dream.

[sharp_as_a_tick]

...

Dunno... I remember a lot more than last time.


... Maybe we just fell really hard on someone's foolery.

[liarliarliar]

You lost me but that's kind of okay because I was already lost.

[sharp_as_a_tick]

...


Huh.

I don't know where we are either.

It looks nice!

[liarliarliar]

Yeah but.

[pokes Uzume's belly gem]

Why the body art now?

[sharp_as_a_tick]

Dunno.

...

It might come out.

[liarliarliar]

Hoooooooow about you don't try until we see your doctor? He'd be sad if there was stuff to remove and he didn't get to do it.

Removing stuff from bodies is a doctor thing.

[sharp_as_a_tick]

Ah...

[He looks around.]

... I wonder if Koju is still slipping.

[just_a_prick]

[Just quietly watching for a moment to see if he has any better luck with that.]

[sharp_as_a_tick]

[Luckily... or unluckily as their finances may go, he can't seem to get good enough purchase to rip the gem out.]


AH! Chooozzzaaa... do you have one? I can try that one....

[just_a_prick]

[considers this very seriously



and holds out his right hand to show Uzume the gem embedded in his palm]

[sharp_as_a_tick]

[Uzume tilts Choza's hand this way and that before getting a bit of purchase on the gem...

IT IS VERY VERY VERY ATTACHED DEEPLY TO THE ALL OF YOU BY HOW IT FEELS.]

[just_a_prick]

[ABORT ABORT]

Ow, ow, shit—stop!

[sharp_as_a_tick]

[TUG TU...... stops.]

I almost got it though.

[just_a_prick]

It feels like you're going to rip out my whole skeleton.

[sharp_as_a_tick]

.... Huuuuuhhhhh....


[CURIOUS NOW.]


Would it fit going out of there?
