[They'll have to stretch it out from a safe distance, behind a splatter shield...
He's just waving in the direction of the paparazzi now, though.]
So let them take it! [They can deal with a potentially toxic exploding alien caterpillar!! And then when it eventually evolves into Mothra and wreaks havoc on the shoot, they can just book it and pretend they have nothing to do with it!] Go, go - I'll make sure you don't lose your spot or whatever.
[What's Taroutachi even doing here, anyway?? A mystery.]
[ Can you not see the conundrum here!! There is no winning. But maybe he ought to try. Surely nothing could go wrong with them taking one picture. He sighs. ] Very well, I'll go.
[ and off he does. as for what he's doing there, it is a mystery. not even he knows. ]
But Kashuu won't just leave him to his own devices in the Foreign Land of Photographers, so he sticks nearby when this punk oodachi ambles off. Gotta make sure he delivers the caterpillar safely! Gotta make sure he doesn't somehow come back with more weird aliens instead... Luckily (for Kashuu?!), the paparazzi seem focused on Taroutachi for now, so he's able to wait in peace.]
[ The photographers don't seem pleased that the caterpillar is getting returned. It was so cute! So perfect! (Tarou doesn't understand) They do try to pass off a bigger animal, but Tarou quickly and awkwardly turns away from then and shuffles away back to Kashuu's side. ]
It is done. I suggest we leave before they follow.
[That sure was a straight-up dismissal... Good work friend, he had bee kind of concerned when he saw them bust that bigger animal out.]
You don't have to tell me twice. [WAVING A HAND he's already turning to walk away somewhat briskly. Not like it'll be hard for Tarou to keep up, considering his legs are like ten times longer...]
[ Ain't nobody got time for being harassed with animals all day. He follows after Kashuu with lack of anything better to do. It might draw attention if they suddenly and quickly part ways anyway. ]
Yes. He found me when I arrived.
[ Not that that's difficult either ... ]
He told me about the ... [ wtf is it. he brings out the little device. ] Thing.
[Ah yes, one of Tarou and Jirou's many talents: being a focal point in the crowd. If swordhaus ever goes to a theme park, they would just have to look for one of them to regroup at if they ever scatter and get lost.]
Good, good! That thing makes it really easy to talk with everyone. I think they're kinda like Haruji's phone? [A SHRUG. He's still not really sure, even though he knows how to use his own like a pro by now.]
So he probably told you about everything else too, yeah?
[ Tarou and Jirou should make everyone else in swordhaus wear those bright, matching "family" t-shirts so they're easy to spot then. ]
Does it? I still don't fully understand it. [ as will ever be demonstrated if he tries to talk to Cashew over it in the near future. He's like an old man trying to learn how to do the internet. ]
That depends on what "everything else" is. I have heard there are strange events here, and that the trees are ... "perverts".
Poor Tarou's going to end up like Zara with 100 search bars and viruses from spam mail though, oh no.]
I'll show you how some of the stuff works, if you want. [He's already taken over with doing that for Mikazuki so what's one more old man...]
—Huh? [PERVERT TREES.] I didn't know about the trees... [Maybe because he and Mutsu basically murdered them all before they had a chance to get handsy. ...Branchy??]
[ exactly ... no problem. he can keep those child leashes for some of the tinier ones.
he is though. and the rare pop-ups with flashing smiley faces that still exist. or "you win!" messages and he'll take it seriously. ] Yes, I would appreciate that.
[ a solemn nod then ] Aruji said that they had attempted to grab him before. I didn't see it myself.
[they'll surely appreciate it... BUT YOU DON'T WIN ANYTHING EXCEPT A VIRUS TAROUTACHI DON'T DO IT.]
When you have some free time, just stop by. Haruji'll show you where the apartments are later. [Or so he assumes... Just leaves everything up to Haru, oops.]
Wait— those trees were perverts?! [HARU NEVER TOLD HIM.] I mean, I know they grabbed him, but... Ugh, it's a good thing we cut them down.
It's not too bad when it isn't being stupid. [what kind of dumb answer is that...]
So keep your guard up! Because it gets stupid a lot. [A POINTED LOOK back over his shoulder in the direction of the photography chaos... Not that he minded most of it, but those aliens are wild?! And so are the cat photographers, who even invited them, what's even happening.]
Anyway, I'm gonna go back in and make sure everyone else is doing okay. If you need anything, you can find all of us in your phone. [DOESN'T EVEN SPECIFICALLY OFFER TO HELP good work cashew]

Cashew
[ still. an alien fish. what even is that.
— and let's not stretch the caterpillar out. it might explode toxic yellow guts on them. ]
The person I got it from is no longer here. I'm surrounded by these people instead. [ gesturing to the paparazzi of course ]

Okay. I will.
[ a solemn nod about the trees. ] That is what he said. Why did you cut them down?
no subject
They seemed like they were gonna attack.
[Attack, not molest poor innocent bystanders!! He's glad they jumped the gun and did something about it now, though.]
Maybe we should just go back and cut down the rest of them, too.
no subject
I see. That's unfortunate. They didn't bother me.
[ maybe they just mistook him for one of them. ]
no subject
Really? Not any of them? [SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALL THE LUCK.] ...Well, whatever. Maybe they just calmed down after the party.
no subject
No. I haven't had any troubles with them. Perhaps they were animated temporarily.
no subject
[He sees your game, trees...]
Ugh... Whatever, I guess it's fine as long as they don't mess anything up again. Some people thought they were aliens, y'know? [THIS CITY IS WEIRD.]
