[Ah. This is what happens when he oversleeps.]

Okay.

Bring some for yourself, too. This is the least active medical clinic I've ever encountered. I'm bored.

[So they may as well eat lunch together, right?]

[alternatives]

sure, it's a date.

( it sounds fun, he means. not a date. probably. unless? )

by the way you should be careful when you're walking around the neighborhood.
apparently there's a maniac starting fires in the street.

[dispassioned]

[This is a text so Arisu can’t hear it, but he definitely snorts in amusement.]

There is not.

I was calm and methodical about starting that fire. There was nothing maniacal about it.

I didn’t even use a homemade flame thrower.

[alternatives]

i knew it was you. you have the look of a pyromaniac.

[dispassioned]

I'm almost surprised you're the first person to say that to me.

But the monopoly board had it coming.

[alternatives]

what did it ever do to you?

[dispassioned]

Glorified Capitalism.

[Also, he definitely lost a game at the party. 😔]

[alternatives]

oh ( not the response he was expecting, but. you know ) actually that's super fair.

you owe me a new board game.

[dispassioned]

How do you feel about Operation?

[alternatives]

i feel like you have an advantage, which will make it a lot more fun when i win.

[dispassioned]

Is that so?

I'll pick it up from the store on the way home.

[alternatives]

okay (´∀`)

( did he just land 2 separate dates in five minutes tops )

lets stay in tonight, then.

[dispassioned]

[He sure did.]

All right.

[It's not like he was planning on going out anyway, but still.]

I'm sure the community will thank you for keeping a maniac off the street.

[alternatives]

so you admit there was a certain mania to the street fire. i heard someone's house nearly caught fire.

( word of mouth obviously blew it way out of proportion. the housespouses just love to gossip. )

[dispassioned]

It was confined to a metal trash can. The only houses that burned were the little monopoly houses.

[alternatives]

think of the little monopoly families.

[dispassioned]

You mean corporations?

[alternatives]

( SIGH )

only you would say that. pessimist!!

[dispassioned]

[Amused. Though he can't deny it. Still:]

The game is literally called Monopoly.

[alternatives]

little tiny houses implies little tiny families. even in monopolies.

[dispassioned]

Do they, though?

[alternatives]

who else is gonna pay property taxes!!

[dispassioned]

[That actually gets a chuckle out of him. Tragically, this is a text and Arisu can't hear it.]

When are you going to be here with my food?

[alternatives]

noonish. if you're really not busy, i can come sooner and hang out.
someone down the block is having a tupperware party, so. i'm pretty happy to have an excuse to miss it.

[dispassioned]

I'm not busy.

...Tupperware parties really happen?
