mineo. mineo is so great at wasting time especially when he's being completely stupid about something else. so that's why he's in the simulation room, and you can get the sense he's been in here for like... a while? and yet he's still super excited. it's why he's running around on what looks like a field overlooking a river. they're by a plain, and it seems like there's two... armies? marching toward each other? sheila may have no reason to recognize the battle of kawanakajima but i'm linking the visual for kyuu to sort of help - it seems like the battle hasn't started yet, but it's about to.
mineo watches it like a starry-eyed doggo, but he'll turn around when it looks like someone's joining him]
Oh! Sheila-san, hey! Did you get any answers about tattoo removal?!
[THE EXCITED ENERGY IS BLEEDING INTO EVERYTHING ELSE HE'S ASKING]
She momentarily falters in her step when the full extent of the simulation hits her, mouthing something that may or may not be what the fuck, before Mineo catches her attention.]
Sheila-san?
[Visibly confused, her tone a little funny. Sir, she is white and has only ever heard "-san" in Karate Kid. Explain.]
And no, I haven't. But apparently the "avatars" [airquotes] didn't do it and they have similar tattoos themselves, so I guess we're not getting a reimbursement from them. Or, like, anybody. What are you up to?
for someone who's normally friendly, engaging, and easygoing - the change in mineo's demeanor is probably a little. stark. his shoulders are set in an angry line, expression grim as he seems to be examining everything. doorways, corners, brow furrowing as he continues to find
nothing.
as he's walking by, apparently determined to get somewhere, anywhere, he bumps shoulders with sheila and
[at least mom had a dislocated finger at most??? but mineo is helping out after all that and then he's just -
so tired.
he's exhausted. but he's going to go find her, and he's got a bottled water? that seems like a fair gift after someone comes back covered in guts. he offers it out to her]
[Thankfully, she is no longer covered in guts! And her finger is no longer oddly bent, so there's that. She accepts the water bottle with a grateful smile, though she won't pop it open right away.]
Aw, thanks.
[She holds up her hand, wiggling the finger for demonstration. It's... moving a little weird and she probably should put a splint on it, but she doesn't appear to be in pain.]
Look, good as new. I told you I could do it myself.
[well mini-event happened! and mineo's - yawning? yeah, he's yawning. seems like he's literally about to meander off somewhere based on how he's fiddling with the upper buttons of his collar with one hand, a pillow tucked under his other arm.
though he'll pause when he sees sheila and raise a hand in greeting]
[Hello, Mineo. Sheila raises a hand back, but... There's something odd about her today? As in, she sure is furiously avoiding eye contact. Memshare week has been hell.]
[well mineo is just doing a whole lap around the station trying to see... anything? yeah. anything. which is probably why he's able to find sheila wherever she is]
Ah, Sheila-san... I'm glad you're okay. [he worries extra over civilians]
a flea tells you that a girl thinks you're hot in the middle of your mini-event and you spend the rest of the time trying to deal with that information?? so maybe mineo is trying to discretely figure out selfie angles with his phone to see if he can really get the same 'hot' impression?? but uh. he's not having much luck because there sure are a lot of weird things going on this week that are distracting.
but at least his wandering brings him by the life support room and - he peers in a little curious]
Sheila has, uh... something in her hands, staring curiously at one of the pods when he peers in. The mysterious something remains hard to see from this distance, but she does turn away from the pod to look in his directions.]
[am i right to assume that sheila would be in the spa?? well now i'm gonna guess that she is!! anyway mineo will be coming in eventually, a perfectly brewed iced tea lemonade in one hand while he's holding onto a small bouquet of collected flowers in the other
so he'll wander over closer to her before neatly taking a knee and offering up both]
Just who I was hoping to see - if you could take these off my hands, I'd greatly appreciate it, Sheila-san.
[She is, indeed, in the spa! Holding up two nearly identical pots of brown nail polish. She stares at him, blinks, and in an overly calm tone of voice:]
[Sheila is... not at all accustomed to this sort of place. Hence, why Mineo will run into her while she's in the middle of poking the dog statues. Hello? What is this? Are these statues about to do something freaky like the ones in the fields, too?]
[this can be pre- or post-meeting, whichever works for you, kyuu!! but here's mineo! he's wandering over to the shrine now and he's just gonna grin a little]
They're like guardians of the shrine, Sheila-san! Are you taking a look around?

Did you see anything weird today...?

[Truly. She looks absolutely fucking bummed today, punctuating that statement with a sigh. At that question, she shakes her head.]
Just the dogs howling like crazy, but that's because I slept in the park last night. And you?
