[PUBLIC CHANNEL] DAY 88 - RE: FOSTER'S MUSHI DICK PLOT

[osteothropy]

Hey.

Foster. The human living in Trailer #18.

You better look alive, 'cause you ain't foolin' anybody.

Hand over the plants or the stuffed animal gets it.

[Oh apparently it's time for standing close together again. Somehow, Ginko never seems to be prepared for that, no matter how many times it happens.

He also never knows how to respond when someone says something like that. His first attempt at a reply catches in his throat; he swallows and tries again.]

I-- [Another laugh, soft and tired and vaguely disbelieving.] I'm... glad you think so.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Get acquainted with Close Together Ginko, because it isn't going to stop happening anytime soon.]

Are you going to be alright with all this?

[He means the Mushi ordeal specifically, but the question is vague enough to be misunderstood of course.]

[dontpokethat]

...Probably. [Conveniently, Ginko's mind jumps to mushi pretty readily, as a matter of course.] I've seen worse, so... Just so long as we can replace the repellent.

[Dammit, Foster.]

[dorkypantsuit]

[He nods, thinking that over for a moment.]

Will you tell me or... someone, if you get... overwhelmed?

[dontpokethat]

I will. ...I mean. I guess I kind of am. [He pushes his fingers through his hair.] But Tanyuu and Zecora are working on it, too, and there's not much else to be done.

[dorkypantsuit]

I mean... If you get overwhelmed to the point where you feel like shouting.

[dontpokethat]

[Ginko is quiet for a moment, apparently vaguely surprised by that - then he laughs.] I haven't felt like shouting in quite some time, but... I'll let you know if it comes to that.

[dorkypantsuit]

[He hopes you do Ginko. He really does. Still, that laugh has him smile.]

Guess I'll leave you be then.

[dontpokethat]

Yeah. I'll see you later. Uh... Thanks for coming by.

[It feels strange to say, considering everything, but. He means it, nonetheless. If nothing else, it means he doesn't have to keep worrying about what Psi thinks of him on top of everything else going on.]

[dorkypantsuit]

[He smiles. He takes Ginko's hand, raising it to his lips and giving it a kiss before departing.]

[dontpokethat]

[--Oh.

So that leaves Ginko standing, alone, in the trailer, trying to process that. Maybe it shouldn't be as surprising after what Psi told him, but.

...Shit. He's got work to do; he'll have to work this out later.]
