I'll need to leave work early on Friday, and I won't be able to come in on Saturday. My apologies to Shinjiro and Cube for the inconvenience.

Yuuko, you wouldn't mind looking after Sukekiyo on those days, would you?

...oh, Toku. That reminds me. [...] I forgot to mention that you have an odd choice in women. [That's his way of saying "thank you"

[loyal_cube]

It's alright. Thank you for the advanced notice.

... [Sniffle]

Is everything okay?

[voice; Japanese]

[spooktalk]

Remotely fine. Hopefully nothing you'll have to concern yourself with. [Or at least not visually see.]

That illness common around the city now. You have it as well?

[voice; Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

Yes, so does Anemone-chan... I feel bad for not being able to have the Cafe open, but it's better to not get more people sick.

I'm starting to feel better though. I'm not coughing nearly as much. It has to be thanks to Sensei's medicine.

You don't seem to have it, do you? I hope not.

[voice; Japanese]

[spooktalk]

I see. There's all sorts of nuisances going about as of late. It's a shame to let it affect the Cafe but it's for the best.

Mm, I seem to be feeling better as well. The cough is almost gone and though I gained a sudden fever, that seems to be taken care of as well. ...still, I would not wish to risk anything. [Of course that's all a lie. He had no fever, and his cough is completely gone now.]

[voice]

[dreamgranter]

Not at all. I did offer before, didn't I?

[voice]

[spooktalk]

You did, but it seems somewhat short notice. I wasn't expecting such a problem to show up.

[voice]

[dreamgranter]

I don't think many people were. [Except maybe for witch ladies who can read omens and predict the future. Uh.]

[voice]

[spooktalk]

[That's cheating. You cheater. No more special sweets for you.]

...I have a bit of an odd question to ask, though since I'm under the impression that Yuuko-san has been here longer than I have, it's worth a shot.

How often does it rain here?

[Voice]

[moarcowbell]

But you're the only one I'll eat from.

[Voice]

[spooktalk]

New experiences are good for you.

[Voice]

[moarcowbell]

An old man like me can't get into that.

[Voice]

[spooktalk]

And of course, you wouldn't take advice from a youngster such as myself.

[orz_mypaycheck]

...huh?

[spooktalk]

Jilleena and I happened to bump into each other in the forest.

[orz_mypaycheck]

Oh... why were you both in the forest?

[spooktalk]

We were both searching for someone, at least I believe we were.

...it was a pleasant, if brief, meeting.

[prodigal_axe]

It's no big deal, I'll cover the shift.

...is something up? [Like, are you dying from Atropos?]

[spooktalk]

I'm glad you understand, boss.

...I'm not coughing up blood like certain people in the city were. Does that help? [Like he can ever answer a question in a simple manner.]

[prodigal_axe]

That's... great. Just watch out you don't end up like that.

[Threatening you to stay healthy? Maybe.]

[spooktalk]

[So considerate. ♥]

It won't happen anytime soon. I assure you.

Have you had better luck at staying healthier than the rest of our population?
