Please do not thank me. This is the least I can do to return the favor.

[As he predicted, the train ride to Yongen was peaceful. Not many people lurked around these parts in the evening. He was happy to be able to catch up with Akira after the Morganabus adventures in Mementos. A dull throb on top of his head is not-so-gentle reminder of that.

When he arrives at Leblanc, it's already past closing time and Yusuke feels at ease. They could converse without curious onlookers. He steps inside the familiar building and looks around. Akira should be around here, right?]

[anomies]

[ He's behind the counter when Yusuke arrives, finishing up preparing the coffee — of course, he's not an expert on Sojiro's level, but he's at least gathered enough to know what blends match with certain foods and has elected to put together espresso with a milder roast. ]

Hey, Yusuke. Sit down wherever, I'll be done in a minute.

[artcritic]

[Yusuke nods and takes a seat- at the counter. He's always been curious how Akira makes the coffee and he can see it perfectly from where he sits at the bar. He places the box with sweets on the table and his bag to the side.]

Which one are you making?

[anomies]

I thought I'd try something different and make espresso... I heard it pairs well with sweets. You don't mind, do you?

[ It wouldn't be much trouble to switch to the usual house blend, after all. ]

[artcritic]

That sounds delightful. I am not acquainted with brands of coffee beans, so I leave the choice to you.

[Akira has never failed to impress him when it comes to coffee. Except that one time which is questionable- but it was probably the beans. Yes, it wasn't Akira's fault at all.]

[anomies]

[ His love is a fickle creature and just doesn't translate well into culinary experimentation, he promises...

But thankfully, he's stuck to procedure this time, so the cups of coffee he pours out and brings over to where Yusuke's sitting should taste perfectly normal. ]

Hopefully it's to your taste. More importantly, though... are you feeling better?

[artcritic]

[The smell of coffee puts a smile on Yusuke's face. Akira says he's not good as Sojiro, and he might be right in a certain way. But Yusuke prefers when Akira makes him a cup.

Is that weird?

He opens the box with sweets and puts it between their cups.]

Ah, yes. Thank you for asking. Today's Mementos exploration was on the rougher side, but I'll be fine. [Nothing sleep can't fix. He will have a bump on his head for a while. The disadvantage of being so tall.]

[thickskulled]

[ ooc: continued from here! ]

What, you mean you left the lobsters to die for a week and then cooked 'em??

[artcritic]

If you are trying to imply that I tortured lobsters to death then no. I did not.

[It was, however, very difficult for him to off them. He still feels bad about it.]

I just don't know how to prepare them. I am not a cook.

[thickskulled]

Wellll.........

[ yusuke might be a bit weird sometimes, but he's still a friend, and friends help friends, right?

or in this case, get other friends to help friends. ]

Why don't you try asking Haru? I bet she's got loads of cooks around she could ask for tips from.

[ isn't that the whole point of being rich, having a million servants?? ]

[artcritic]

It's too late for that. I already ate both of them and I don't plan on buying more soon. They are expensive.

But it was worth it. The painting is progressing smoothly.

[thickskulled]

You shouldn't have gotten them in the first place if they were so expensive.

[ but whatever. more important things to focus on at the moment. like: ]

Sooooo you gonna show us this new painting when it's done?

[artcritic]

[If it's for the art- Yusuke makes no compromises. It had to be done.]

Of course. I sent you an attachment earlier with a photo of it. It is still work in progress. I intend to make the dragon fill the sky, his thunder striking the ground, shattering it.

[thickskulled]

[ oh THAT attachment. the one ryuji didn't read because he was too busy talking about lobsters. whooooops. ]

Oh my b, lemme go look

[ and look he does, and lets out a low whistle when he sees it. he might joke about yusuke's erratic artist ways but he can recognize good art when he sees it. (sometimes.) ]

Dude, that's awesome! How long it take you??

for @riotgun

[artcritic]

Sounds excellent to me.

Is it bad that I want us to finish with the palace as soon as possible? Is it selfish?

[riotgun]

You're in luck.

Don't tell the others yet, but it just so happens I've been planning for us to hit the Palace the day after tomorrow.

Full sweep to the Treasure room.

[ Yes, they will be one-day clearing the remainder of the infiltration route. Yes, everyone will probably want to clobber Akira for working them to the bone again. Yes, they're all welcome to try ousting him as leader for his shenanigans. But they can't say no to this face, right?! ]

[artcritic]

I don't see why not tell them, as they will find out eventually, but I will keep it to myself.

I accept full sweep only if you have curry and soda with you.

[Feed him for the entire duration, and he won't complain.

...much.]

[riotgun]

Have to double check schedules and supplies first.

I'll pack extra portions. We can have dinner in one of the safe rooms.

[ ✨ ]

I made thirty lockpicks the other day. So we can grab every last chest too.

[artcritic]

Excellent. I will bring whatever you need from my end.

Thirty... I cannot gauge if that is too much, too little, or just enough.

for @kamen_thief

[artcritic]

A name for a cactus... Something like "Sir Stabbington" or "Mr Spike"

They are in three different sizes: a tall one, a middle one, and a short and fat one. Any one you prefer?

[kamen_thief]

Appropriate names.. didn't think you'd pick something quite so.. violent. I'm a little surprised.

Hm... Well, a tall one would make the plant I have feel self-conscious, I think. The short one would probably be good for its ego. Not to mention it'll give the cactus something to aspire to.

[artcritic]

But they are relevant to the cacti. We can always name them George. Or Saitama.

Then I will keep the tall one, the short one is for you, and the middle one for Haru-san.

[kamen_thief]

You're not wrong. I'm not sure what I expected from a Yusuke-named cactus, but I think I'll trust your instincts on it.

I think that's a good arrangement. Haru will like a cactus, I think. Something a little more... low-maintenance for her.

[artcritic]

Maybe because your is small and round a fat, you can call it Rollo.

Yes. She won't feel bad if she forgets to water it when we are busy
