day 418 | vacation

[unbr8kable]

[There is more to Hachijo Island than just creepy hotels filled with fungus--though there are plenty of those.

But one doesn't need to visit one for impressive-looking black-sand beaches with tide pools and sea turtles frolicking nearby, or tall, green cliffs that fall off into the sea, or mountains to climb, or hot springs with views of the aforementioned cliffs and beaches or even overlooking a waterfall.

Nemesis comes ashore with satchel full, looking between the greenery and the water and the mountains rising nearby, and then over to Hurricane, grinning]

...Ready to relax?

Well... I dunno about it tasting good.

But we can give it a go, anyways.

[unbr8kable]

It's a bunch of hot nuts with butter and sugar. How bad can it be?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, the crust's supposed to be hard to do right.

[unbr8kable]

Ain't it just sable cookies with butter and sugar?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What's a sable cookie?

[unbr8kable]

You know, it's--

[how do you describe this]

...It's. A cookie. It's hard...and like a rectangle.

[Obviously this clears it up completely]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Well.

I don't think a pie crust's like that. It's supposed to be like. Soft, and flaky. And real thin.

[unbr8kable]

Oh--right, that part. They prolly sell it at the grocery store. I mean, it sounds like groceries, right?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I think they sell em pre-made sometimes?

[unbr8kable]

Well then. Nothing to worry about.

[Crosses her arms behind her head, floating (mostly)]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess it don't hurt to look, anyways.

[unbr8kable]

That's where the nuts'll be anyways, right? And butter and sugar.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I got the butter and sugar anyways, and the walnuts, too. Gotta get the chestnuts and pecans, though.

[unbr8kable]

Whoa, you been saving up. Guess we could try that stuff whenever, then.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Just say the word, dude, and we can do the worst nut pie ever.

[unbr8kable]

Excuse you...it's gonna be the best one we ever made.

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's gonna be the only one we ever made.

[unbr8kable]

It's gonna be the best. Might even be so good, we don't ever gotta try to top it. Sometimes that happens.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, if it's perfect the first time...

[unbr8kable]

Sometimes it is. Unbeatable. We can see.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess I oughtta dig up a pecan pie recipe, too, to see how they do the filling on that one.

[unbr8kable]

[Waves a hand]

Butter and sugar and maybe a pecan, prolly. Who needs a recipe for that?

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's supposed to be kinda gooey, though.

[unbr8kable]

...Mochi? Or cheese, maybe...

[crossmyheartandhope]

Cheese'd be bad end for sure.
