Action, backdated to the 25th

[loveanddreams]

[With so many undignified tasks on the lists, D had refused to complete many of them. But visiting a neighbor seemed acceptable. The question was finding a nearby house with more life than simply those gray residents, which seemed to be the case with most of the houses near 1416.]

[So, that's how he ends up on Takasu's doorstep, ringing the doorbell with a box of pastries from the Honeybee Cafe in hand.]

[octopot]

[ Takasu does not expect guests, but he doesn't dislike them. Rather, he loves when people come over, because he loves people.

When he opens the door, he's all cheerfully grinning. ]

Oh! Hey! You're that count guy! What's up?

[loveanddreams]

[He wasn't sure who to expect at the door but he's quite pleased to see it's the octopus.]

Ah, Takasu. I didn't realize you lived so close. I was instructed to visit a neighbor I hadn't visited before but many of the other houses here seem to belong to those gray people.

[octopot]

[ Yeah, there needs to be more animal people in Holly Heights. ]

Yeah, people live in all kinds of surprising places! And that's true, there are loads of them. Wanna come in? I baked the other day!

[loveanddreams]

[Yes, he would be quite pleased to see more animal people around. It would remind him of home.]

I would be delighted. I also brought you some of the cakes from the Honeybee Cafe.

[And he's holding the pastry box out now, offering it to him. Because it would be rude to just show up at someone's door unannounced without anything. But he's also curious to see what Takasu baked.]

[octopot]

[ When D comes into the house, he might notice that every room is painted in theme of nature, like jungles, savannas and many different kinds (like the bathroom bbeing an ocean). ]

Oh! Their cakes are great!

[loveanddreams]

Yes, they are wonderful, aren't they? I met Miss Vietnam soon after I arrived and I've been a frequent visitor to the cafe ever since. [She'd been giving out cake at the welcome party...]

[And he's taking in the murals as they move through the house.]

What a splendid decorating scheme. So many different animal habitats.

[octopot]

Oh yeah! She's a pretty good woman. [ Nothing like his wife, but still. ]

Yeah! They're all really nice to have! They make the house really different from all the other ones.

[loveanddreams]

It's certainly distinctive. Were you the one responsible for the decorating?

[Ah, if only it were real as the rooms in his shop rather than simply paintings.]

[octopot]

Yeah, but I took requests. It was really fun and great!

[ His nose would totally be growing from bragginess right now.

Paintings were way better than plain walls. ]

[loveanddreams]

Requests? From the others who live in this house I presume.

Do you paint other subjects as well?

[Animal portraits would be nice as well.]

[octopot]

Yeah, exactly! I don't live alone, after all!

And yeah, I do. I paint anything!

[loveanddreams]

Ah, who else resides here?

[Mikuni perhaps? Or maybe some other animal people?]

Would you be interested in considering a commission? I would love to have a painting or two to decorate my room at the house.

[octopot]

Me, Veronica, and Satoru, and Veronica's dog.

[ So no Mikuni or other animal people. ]

I'm always up for it! I already take commissions for knitting and sewing and stuff, and painting's fun! So sure!

[loveanddreams]

Miss Veronica also lives here? I met her at the beach a couple of days ago.

[She'd helped a bit in his attempt to catch a crab.]

Then, we must discuss it further while we have our sweets. Perhaps, an aquatic scene inhabited by sea creatures...

[octopot]

Yeah, she does! She's great, isn't she?

[ He should meet the crab Echizen... ]

Sure thing! And that's definitely doable!

[ Aquatic themes are his specialty when it comes to motifs, since he's from the area. ]
