[majima actually ducked out for a dinner break this evening - fridays are always busy but they're good busy with a lot of regulars tonight, and not many problems. even so, he normally just takes his breaks in his office if at all so leaving-leaving for dinner is a little abnormal.

he double and triple checks on everyone before heading out -- they've all got his number and he technically has a manager who helps him run the place (the guy is very forgettable, but does indeed exist. he just also mostly lets majima do everyone. it works out) so it's not like they're alone or without help. but it's also obvious his heart and his priorities are super somewhere else tonight.

he ends up staying out a little longer than he intended, making conversation with kiryu but makes it back to finish out the shift and then help clean up / stay for people to vent their problems afterwards. he knows how it goes - having to be nice to people all night gets taxing and sometimes you gotta bitch afterwards. he's always happy to listen.

still, though, he doesn't feel that much better after talking to kiryu. it's not something anyone can fix, for all that kiryu's company is always something here's here for. but he did come back and he does intend to do his job, so as he's cleaning up he catches mista and asks]

How'd it go? No problems?

[protegge]

[Mista--here's the thing about Mista: he looks out for his people. Maybe it's ridiculous to think of Majima as one of his, since he's just a boss and Mista's just his employee. But that's what's gotten him in trouble in his past jobs. He can't just not care. He's not capable of it.]

[So when Majima leaves, when his mind is clearly elsewhere and then he's gone for hours and hours, it sticks in the back of Mista's mind. He does his job, of course. That's the difference between this place, which he cares about, and all the other places, that he never did: he wants to do well here. He wants to treat these people right.]

[But after he does his job well, it's still lingering in the back of his mind. And when Majima comes back to the club, Mista notices him immediately. He's not right, somehow. Something's wrong.]

C'mon, boss. You think I'd let something go wrong on your night out?

[The smile he gives is genuine in its good humor, but worried, too. He can't hide that.]

What's up with you?

[sotenbori]

[the fact that mista cares so much is part of why majima likes him. it's the way he is about people, too, he can't just not care about them. but what it is is strange to have it directed at himself instead of at other people. he's never been great at taking care of himself and having other people worry about him...it always feels foreign, even when it really shouldn't.]

It wasn't a night out.

[he says it like he's a little embarrassed, a feels a little bad for leaving for so long. it wasn't a night on the town it was just...

but then mista asks that follow up question. he wishes he could make it seem less obvious. he wants to be able to take care of his staff, and to him that includes not burdening them with his problems.]

Just got some things on my mind, that's all.

[protegge]

[It was just . . . something. Something went wrong, or has been wrong, or something. Mista isn't that smart, but he's not dumb either. Something's fishy.]

[He sighs and crosses his arms over his chest.]

Look, going out didn't help, so talk to me and see if that helps. Or do something, but--I'm worried about you, man. You're not usually like this. You know I'm not gonna leave it alone, either.

5/3 overflow; majima.

[protegge]

( from here )

No, you don't get it! If I don't go in there . . .

[He trails off. He doesn't know what, exactly, but--]

If I don't go in there, there's no point, is there? I gotta. Please.

[sotenbori]

There is a point - ya got a life and people who care about you outside of the forest.

[ so yeah no that plea is not gonna work. ]

[protegge]

But--

[God. Why isn't Majima getting it? He clenches his teeth, works his jaw. Eventually:]

Can I come back later?

5/3 overflow; shuji.

[protegge]

( from here )

So you're just spoiling me, huh?

[Oh, you fool.]

[thesettingsun]

Yes...? Basically.

[That's totally not crush behavior, that's just how you act to someone really cool like Mista.]

[protegge]

Well. I'm cool with it.

[He puffs up a little, pleased, and dodges around a drifting coke can.]

I like being spoiled.

5/3 overflow; sato.

[protegge]

( from here )

Yeah, but you're weaker than me. So I'm rescuing you.

[He could at least soften the blow a little, but look, here he is. Not doing that.]

C'mon. [He grabs Sato by the arm and starts briskly dragging him away from the direction the voices were coming from.]

[starfruitfrog]

[He didn't sign up to get insulted??



...but at the same time, they're actually leaving right now so maybe it's not all bad. Sato decides to play along, even if he can't resist arguing...]

I never said I was weaker. [He just can't fight, that's all.]

[protegge]

Well why can't you fight? You should let somebody show you.

[Like him. Pick him. The guy who's just been rude and obnoxious to you? Yes.]

6/7 text

[Yesterday, Shuji had a shitty, shitty memory.

Somehow, he still feels terrible today! Who would have thought. It's not like it's something that actually happened to him, but still... It lingers, distracts him from classes and from work.

He doesn't know how to deal with this on his own, so... it wouldn't hurt to ask for help from people he trusts. Maybe.]

Mista
I need advice
Hallucinomemory advice

[protegge]

[He's surprised to get this text. Not because he thinks shit isn't bothering Shuji all the time, but because Shuji is generally awful at asking for help.]

[If he is now . . . it has to be serious.]

yeah what is it
you okay?

[thesettingsun]

I'm okay
I just remembered something Bad, but nothing actually happened
And I don't know how to deal with remembering something that didn't actually happen to me but I felt it and I don't know how to act like it's something that just happened to some other guy and it's
Not really the kind of thing you'd normally remember happening to you

[splinten]

Still need help on an ode to Janet? I have a bingo square to fill out.

7/7

[thesettingsun]

Hey, for bingo I have to convince somebody to lend me their "most treasured possession" and I don't think most people would trust me for that. If I promise to only hold it for like two seconds before I give it back to you, would you 'lend' it to me?

I can help you with one of your squares too, if you want. Or even if you don't want to do mine, I can still help with yours.

[protegge]

you can hold it for more than two seconds dude you just cant break it
itd be cool if you helped me with one of mine but even if you didnt id help you

when do you want it ?

[thesettingsun]

This month? I don't know if we have a time limit on these things.

You're the best.
