[The scowl smooths back to a neutral expression when Mizuki pulls the bottle back, and Natsuno nods.]

Friday told me that, and the captain all but confirmed it when he admitted to add an insulting writing to my collar out of pettiness. So we should use everything we can to ruin his "games."

[As for how to store the bottle:] It doesn't matter how you store it, but keep it hidden and don't talk about it outside the cabins. We don't know when the captain will decide to listen in.

There is one condition, though - you have to drink it all at once for it to work, so no sharing or saving some for later.

Well, I think he might pay only very little attention to things. I don’t think he quite has that omnipotence thing down, just because… if he did, I feel like he’d realize that Friday is giving us some of these gifts by now.

[ He gestures to the bottle. And, like, most of the things Mizuki has received at this point, honestly. Sans the box of elder god flesh he got, uh, that was a little fucked and he thinks was maybe not from Friday… ]

I figured. These sorts of things usually come with it’s full dosage.

…

Are you sure that you want to use one of your four on me…? You really don’t want to keep it?

Yes, I'm sure.

[The frown is coming back. It's not like Natsuno can't use another bottle, keep it in a pocket or give it to Clarke or Rita for extra protection - but Mizuki is also his friend. "Someone else may need it" isn't good enough for Natsuno to take it back.]

If I wasn't, I wouldn't invite you over in the first place.

Well, th-that's true, but… [ It's not that Mizuki isn't appreciative. Quite the opposite, he is incredibly touched that Natsuno thought of him enough to want to give him something like this. But that way of thinking collides harshly with Mizuki's low self-preservation in lieu of other "more important" people.

Oh well. It's fine. He won't argue with Natsuno anymore. He seems like he's getting frustrated, and… Mizuki is truly touched that he'd been given something so useful by someone he cares about. ]

Thank you, Yuuki… ah, I'll give you something in return for this, okay?

[He shrugs.] If you want. But don't feel obliged to.

[Just putting it out there, since Mizuki still looks like he's feeling guilty. Natsuno then angles a curious look at the bag of games.]

I don't, don't worry. It's just also fun to be able to share games with friends.

[ Mizuki holds out one of his consoles to Natsuno with a grin. ] I'm not sure how modern your world is, but I have a few that you might enjoy playing~! I have a few to pick from on this console. Do you like psychological horror? Shooters? Survival games?

[Dryly:] I'm from 1994, if it means anything.

[Who knows how they count years on Terra. Natsuno still has a CD player, if that's any indication.]

I like puzzles and strategy. [Shooters are better with company.] Horror's fine if it has a mystery.

It doesn't~. [ He's not from Earth, technically. Arguments to be made that Terra is just AU Earth, but… ] Oh! I have a bunch of those, too. [ Ebalon likes to play those, too. He's not going to point that out to Natsuno, though. ]

My favorite games are retro, personally, but I'll play pretty much anything. You already know my all time fave is Pac-Man. Would you like to play Puyo Puyo, maybe~? Or, um, [ Mizuki pulls up whatever the equivalence of "Portal 2" is on Terra. ] We could play this! If you like puzzle games and cooperative play, it might tickle your fancy.

I already know Puyo Puyo.

[Something new is preferable.]

But I've never tried cooperative before. [He either played by himself, or competed with Tohru.] Let's try that one.
