if king records josses me on this i'll........ be impressed they bothered
[Well, why lie at this point? Rosho has already sussed it out, and it's not like it's a terrible crime. Looking up at the ceiling, Rei tries to recall how it started.]
I was casing the city for an upcoming job. And when in Osaka, of course you have to see what's up with the local entertainment! Maybe it's just 'cause you two had broken into my house earlier that year, but you caught my attention from the outset.
[He swirls the drink in his cup.]
But the next time I was in town, you'd just split! Obviously, couldn't have that.
[Okay, that's simplifying it a bit. Like, taking out the whole Chuohku ordering him to wind Sasara back up thing. But it's mostly the truth!]
retcon their asses dotsuhon lore belongs to us now
Right there from the beginning, and then the end. He tries not to let it get him down, but it still does, and Rosho deflates immediately as he drags a finger through the condensation of his ice water. ]
I used to think that, we'd last longer than we did. Even when the feeling started to come over me, that I wasn't contributing to the team, I thought... it'll go away, ya know? It's just, performance jitters. Things like that. People go through that sort of thing all the time.
[ Until the feeling got worse, and worse, and Rosho just couldn't shake it off. And then... well, they both know the aftermath of that. The bartender comes back with his beer but Rosho can't focus on it yet. ]
I'm ashamed to say, I was sorta relieved when Sasara said he had a feeling we'd break up at some point. Like, he knew too, but he wanted to keep going. We both wanted to. We wanted it so badly. ...All I wish is that it hadn't happened the way it did. But that's just idealistic thinking, looking back on the past, wanting things to have been different even though nothing's gonna change, obviously.
[ He takes a deep breath. The air feels so heavy now. It's hard for him to think back on his comedy days and not feel... a bit down. Especially without Sasara to help perk him back up. ]
Um, I should probably say, even though it's sorta late... th-thank you for your support. [ Rosho's face goes a little red as he fusses with his glasses for a moment. ] Its been so long, I forget what those days were like. When people notice me from the old group, it's so embarrassing. Aah, just thinking about how many people really used to watch us back then makes me so nervous.
[ Rosho doesn't wait one second and immediately starts to chug down his beer. Washing away the anxiety with booze, always works. ]
no subject
Well, never you mind. [Rei clinks his glass idly against Rosho's once he comes back up for air, chuckling.] Everyone's got something like that. And it's not like you're gonna let it define you. [Not anymore, anyway.] Right?
no subject
He's nearly finished his drink off before he decides wait, he's getting a little bit ahead of himself, and also the rush of booze plus Rei's strikingly kind words are really making his face red. Rosho hides a smile behind his hand as he wipes at his mouth. ]
Right. I want things to be different from now on. Being part of this group, I won't mess it up. I promise.
[ Sasara always says he's going to take him to the top. Rosho's going to help him, however he can. This new version of Dotsuitare Hompo... he wants them to be able to do anything. ]
It's weird when you're nice, but I like it a lot more. You're a lot like... a parent, ya know?
no subject
[The words are practiced: Rei is used to lying about this much. Still, it always feels a bit hollow.
He waves for another drink.]
...There is a word for someone like me, though. Well, an acronym. Maybe you've heard of it?
[Rei... no.............]
no subject
[ Nothing immediately comes to mind. Mostly because Rosho's not too good with acronyms. Something that would be used for Rei though? He's trying to think of the kind of stuff you might call a swindling scam artist old man.
..........
Nope, still nothing. ]
Maybe... [ What are some things his students might use? ] Somethin' like, "NSFW"?

This is why rei picked osaka, Jesus]

[Rei's laughter over his glass is now resembling giggling, if it weren't coming from a six foot tall old man.]
Glad to have you around, Sensei.
no subject
[ Starts jostling his arm like a child hgkjdf being a lightweight is suffering. ] Rei! I wanna know!
