basically a mingle

[ At buttfuck o'clock (translation: super late), if anyone decides to enter the garden, they will find the usual nice starry fake sky and nature. Nothing exactly out of place, besides a brand new campfire that Jake decided to start. ]

[ Sure, he had to dig a hole in the middle of the garden, gather some rocks around it, use the scrap paper from the suggestion box, break off dead branches, collect some fallen leaves, and pretty much kind of ruin how nice the field looked, but you know what, shhhhh... Jake doesn't really care. What matters is that he made a campfire and even if it's not super big or anything, this tiny thing is enough. You people should be happy that he used his own lighter for this. Look at how generous he is. ]

[ But anyway, Jake himself will be just relaxing in front of his achievement. Upon closer inspection, it looks like he finally used his coins to take a goddamn shower like a normal person and not take a bath in a river, so consider your annual miracle slot filled. 20 coins for a shower and 15 for shampoo, ridiculous... He doesn't want to shave his head that badly so he'll keep his hair and whatever stubble he's growing now, so have fun with Mr. You-Can't-Call-Me-Bald-Anymore. Find him either thinking of shit in front of the campfire or sleeping. You are more than free to try and draw on his face (keyword here: try). ]

[ But really, go off and do your thing. Tell scary stories around the campfire, talk shit under the stars, have boat races in the river, do it. It's a free-for-all. ]

What, I'm suddenly not allowed to use coins?

[ His hand is still looking all awful-like? And his side is still an ugly fuck so does that count? And he did get burned recently for trying to get a stoic kid out of an electric chair so bam, here are your injuries. ]

Don't worry yourself over nothing. Had some extras from completing that Calhoun Hour, so I spent it on a nice shower.

Well, it's more you're you. Remember the whole arguing with Ema for a prolonged period of time while we were all injured rather than say you'd spend money on a shower.

[never 4get. He frowns at what injuries he can see from Jake.] How are those coming along? You really had me scared for a while there, it was... bad. [He sees that newer one and kind of just wants to sigh into the sunset dude seriously.]

I'm glad you finally spent them on something, at least.

Different circumstances.

[ no it wasn't you shithead, but maybe scooting over just a bit if Hershel wants to sit down. He'll also hold out his right hand to show him. It does look better, besides the recent burns. It doesn't look like it's going to fall off any moment? ]

They're fine. See, nothing I couldn't handle. The shower only made it easier to clean them up, so are you done fussing?

So you were just being stubborn then and now you had no one to argue with? [~FRIENDSHIP~ yet again aren't you so happy.

And he takes that seat, taking a look at Jake's hand carefully, frowning as he does.] Well... it does look much better. What are these burns, though? A trap?

[No he's not done, thank you very much.]

[ He just shrugs at Hershel's first question. Maybe he really was just being stubborn back then, who knows, it is a mystery oooooo, but ughhh, why must you fuss so much. Jake will try to retract his hand so Hershel doesn't try to examine it further. ]

Back in the Generator. Tried to take off the straps without turning off the power.

[ Since he wanted to get it off Sasuke asap... It didn't go so well for either of them. ]

[Because it's in his very heart and soul to fuss shut your trap, loser.]

Ah, was that how Sasuke hurt his wrists? [That explained it. He sat back, fine have your gross hand back whatEVER dude, and also have a thoughtful look.]

You like Sasuke, don't you?

[ No, he refuses to be Hersheled against. All this Hersheling is too much for his Jakedingly soul. ]

... Where did that come from? I just didn't want some kid electrocuted and deal with the aftermath.

[Hershel hershels at him hershelingly, an edge of hershel in his gaze. Try escaping that, shitlord.]

Oh come now, am I wrong? Sasuke's the agreeable sort, I can't imagine why you wouldn't like him. He doesn't even make cracks at you and all that lot.

[ he's leaving and moving to america where you'll never find him, since america is too rude for your british standards ]

He's fine, but I wouldn't use the word "like". What is this, kindergarten?

[pip pip save the queen bread sauce scones fish and chips idk look it's been a long month]

What's wrong with saying like? It's not like I'm saying 'like like,' and if I was I certainly wouldn't be asking after Sasuke. [Probably ema but he's not going to say that yet....]

[ you're losing your britishness, i cant' believe you. coups forever ]

I would hope not. What is he, like 14? Around your age.

[ All you teenagers, gosh, in Jake's times, when he was only like three or four years older than you guys, he had standards and such. ]

[i'm the most british. telly. advert. lift. tally ho. bask in my glory.]

I'm not sure, probably around fifteen, I think. [he kind of really wants to ask about the like like thing though. he kind of wants to. this is agony, truly.] I'm relieved to hear he isn't your type though, that would be... awkward, frankly.

[ i hear all of this in jake's bad british accent, i do not hear it in hershel's good british accent that's actually voiced by an american ]

Close enough, but why would you even think he's anywhere close to my type? Or even wonder about it in the first place?

[ WHY ARE YOU ALL SO INTERESTED IN HIS LOVE LIFE jeez shouldn't it be obvious by now that his one true love is a bag of money ]

[WOW that is the single most insulting thing anyone has ever said to me????? friendship canceled??]

Oh, I never thought he would be. If anything I'd think more Ema, I suppose. [He says thoughtfully because idk he has a deathwish probably.] You two certainly bicker like an old married couple.

[here lies hershel layton, he tried friendship but he was an idiot]

[ what are you going to do about it, throw a coup????? as if friendship has ever stopped you from having one ]

Ema? Are you serious?

[ dude what the fuck what brought this up what the fuck what the fuck she's like old and shit so see icon ]

[you raise an excellent point, i don't think any state of being means coups aren't going to be thrown]

Yes, why wouldn't I be? [just genuine confusion on why Jake would be tsun about this, he still doesn't understand your mysterious race. also you're old, the oldest, great great grandpa jake in his rocking chair.] She was the first person you seemed to see any merit in, afterall. Is it really so surprising I'd think that?

[ you have a problem, a serious coup problem, you should see a coup management class for it ]

Yeah, but let's focus on the bickering part you've mentioned, which isn't like "an old couple". She has a few good ideas, but she's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, hence the bickering.

[ she STABBED HIM for a BAG OF SNACKOOS but then again, he went along with it so....... ]

[look who's talking, pot to kettle, you're so deep in the coup rabbit hole.]

The last time I saw you both bicker was when she was trying to make sure you took care of yourself better than you usually deign to try. [he points out, brow raised because she was the sharp tool that time, loser.] I don't think that was very shortsighted of her.

[don't even talk about that you're both adult babies damnit]

[ you can't prove anything, there is none of this coup problem. i'm very coup free okay, haven't thrown a coup in ten minutes so far ]

That was different, and I had my hands full with treating you two first. I can handle myself just fine without her or you worrying, all right.

[ no they're very RESPONSIBLE and are the adults of this group god i can't believe they're like a few of the oldest ]

[you're throwing a coup right now, aren't you.]

You were full of glass and metal, that still isn't 'just fine.' [he sighs, the tone of someone who is already defeated in this argument because jake was jake and the sheer force of his stubborn will could topple nations, probably.] When was the last time Ema did something foolish? I think she's been rather better about it these last few days.

[how are you adults. how.]

[ WOW TO THINK I WOULD HAVE NO SELF CONTROL COUPS!!!! ]

Probably back during the sleepover where she thought drinking enough of that punch would make any of those events seem harmless enough. [ It was awful. She was telling him SPOOKY STORIES gross ] But nothing as bad since that time she decided to pick Betray.

[ Since a little sore about that, it's fresh on his mind since he used the lighter he got from that round to make this fire, but shhhh... ]

[and my CASE IS MADE you need a coup intervention.]

[also just have a long, unimpressed look for a moment.] You're really not one to talk, you gave me that blasted punch knowing full well what was in it. [he's onto you. he's also apparently not mad about it because beep boop british robot what is this human emotion called being more than mildly annoyed when people suck.] Yes well... you know she wasn't really in her right mind at that time. I only saw a little of her injuries at the time and they were- they were bad.

[who's complaining then, you got this beautiful camping experience with hershel, the life of the party???]

[ YOU NEED A COUP INTERVENTION and i'll coup to do yours first ]

What, you didn't like it? [ He thought the punch was pretty good. He just wanted to share it with his best buddy 8) ] Could have at least given us a head's up. Not really asking for much before lowering my chances of getting out of here.

[let's be real i think this game needs a coup intervention....]

I'm underaged, Jake! [He can't drink! It's illegal! I think. Maybe it isn't in England shhhhhh shhhh shhhh. And then he pauses for a moment.] I'm... not sure escaping that way is a good idea to begin with. Why would Zero let us go? It'd be safer to take whoever went out that door and everyone inside wouldn't be the wiser.

[Aka kill whoever leaves to protect himself, grim.]

[ naaaaaah why would this game ever need something like that, there aren't going to be any coups in this game... probably ]

I think about fifty different laws are being broken with just this experiment alone, so it's not like one extra one is going to suddenly tip the scale. [ Stop being such a hard ass like god, calm down ] And you have a point there, but since when were you ever that grim? Thought you were be more positive about the chances.
