[maskreant]

that's a very unique restoration, but

the original is still intact, right?

[ HE'S NOT EVEN SURE WHAT IS THIS ]

[fabrefactions]

That was the original. Before someone well meaning but misguided attempted to restore it.

Although they did find a regular painting that is almost identical, dated a year or so before version on plaster was created.

[maskreant]

[ you know he isn't an art critic or enthusiast, but... DAMN— ]

my condolences... i'm glad that there's at least some record of its pristine prestige.

was that person trying to rile you up? or just trying to have a legitimate discussion.

[fabrefactions]

[the tales he could tell, akira.]

It did not come across as such. If text can sound insincere, this one did.

[maskreant]

[ i'm sorry, fox friend. ]

i hope they don't bully you too much. you might need to block them if it comes to that.

buuuut i'm out and about. do you want me to order some ramen to go for you? Ryuji showed me this really nice place.

[fabrefactions]

It is fine. I have a feeling that is just how they come across. Text can be difficult to clearly get across the intricacies of emotion with.

[Given that?? He's also been invited to see a musical with him via a related third person?? Waiting on more details, will confirm.]

Oh? No, thank you for the offer but don't trouble yourself if it's out of your way. I have leftovers in the fridge from yesterday. ✧:･ﾟ

[He!! Cooked!! Food!! Please be proud of him.]

[maskreant]

sometimes people can't stop being who they are. if they ever get on your nerves, you do need to be forward with them. i trust you to do that since you're a reasonable guy.

[ HE HAS FAITH!!! Akira is actually really proud, but he doesn't word it like that because it sounds patronizing. ]

oh, you did? that's really good! i'll get us some small munchies instead to celebrate. how does a couple of mini soup dumplings sound? i think they're called xiaolongbao.

[fabrefactions]

I was planning to ignore his messages if they annoy me.

[it'll probably work
as long as he doesn't get roped into talking about art
which is exactly what has been happening.]

There is plenty if you want some for dinner as well. [Soup dumplings though.] They sound good, yes. They'd be a good side for dinner.

[maskreant]

that works, too.

[ HE DOESN'T THINK THAT'S A BAD IDEA, TO BE HONEST. ]

then expect the soup dumplings for the house when i come back. what did you make though? i actually didn't know you cooked for yourself yesterday.

[fabrefactions]

... it may be more accurate to say I cooked for myself this morning, come to think of it. I didn't make anything special - it's just fried rice to use up some vegetables.

[maskreant]

[ DOES THAT MEAN YOU ATE NOTHING LAST NIGHT?? ]

only vegetables? i guess we can recreate it a bit with some protein. i bought some Chinese sausages.

we got this covered.

[fabrefactions]

[ he's going to plead the fifth on this one ]

Yes. I didn't think it was worth opening and cooking a new batch of meat or tofu at that time. But we can certainly add or make an extra dish to go with it...

[ Meal planning. Look at these responsible sort-of-adults. ]

[maskreant]

A+ we should enter a cooking competition. maybe Chopped: College Edition.

anyway, i'll be home in a bit.

[ And then Akira can learn WoW you don't like this Franklin dude. ]

[fabrefactions]

Don't those shows specifically give you weird ingredients, not just "use up whatever is looking old in the fridge"?

[but, y'know. if that's a challenge on Chopped: College Edition, then yusuke's got this covered.]

Okay. I will start heating up the food.

[... y e a h. it's a story.]
