kegger/pool party!

[burgercraving]

[as is always a good idea in summer, the pool has ended up decked out in a barbecue, some various items like chips and dip, and there's also a couple kegs for those of you who have been wondering when the booze would be readily served

[there's a mild shriek and then a hatless detective wrapped up in a large towel]

[hardlyboy]

Reading about and researching different areas of my field.

[shigeharu]

Which is still work, in its own way...

[hardlyboy]

Perhaps, but I am not ashamed to enjoy what I do for a living.

[shigeharu]

Oh, I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy what you do.

But it's good to have something else, too. If you like your work that much, it's twice as easy to overdo it.

[hardlyboy]

... yes, well... [cough, obviously I have never had this problem 9_9]

I suppose I do enjoy weapons training, from time to time.

[shigeharu]

...so serious, Shirogane-kun! You'd have done well in my era.

I know I can't tell you what to do, but try not to work yourself to death. It's easier to do than most people realize.

[hardlyboy]

Your era?

[shigeharu]

The late sixteenth century. It was 1579 just before I wound up here, if you want to be more precise.

[hardlyboy]

Ah--I see.

[shigeharu]

That no-nonsense demeanor reminds me a lot of some of the men I work with.

[hardlyboy]

It's a vital outlook when one is a detective, otherwise you become complacent.

[shigeharu]

Mm, I don't think knowing when to relax and enjoy yourself dulls the mind, but I suppose I'm rather biased about that, of course.

[hardlyboy]

I have difficulty in that area, and I am aware of it.

[shigeharu]

Awareness is good! Just take care of yourself, Shirogane-kun.

[..."don't end up like me" but like fuck is he gonna say that out loud.]

[hardlyboy]

... thank you for your concern, Takenaka-san.
