...I don't know why I keep thinking about it today. It's been a long, long time.

It took a long time, too. But I remember all of it. I don't think anyone there realized that I knew what was happening, even when I couldn't move. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have known where to find sharp things when I had those lucid moments. But even then -

I just wish I knew how to get the scars to fade. That I didn't have to hide them with my watch. That I could stop remembering why.

I...

I don't know why I want to talk about this today. [unsteady laughter] It's probably a curse, isn't it? Yeah. I...

Sorry.

[ Of course, the cactus recognizes the visitor. ]

Watari-amigo! riko riko Tiempo largo ninguna reunión, amigo!

That looks great. Where'd you find it?

[Tsuzuki inhaled deeply, closing his eyes for a moment. Was that chocolate or was he imagining things?]

The food's still on the table in tupperware, but I can get some plates out. Did you catch what Riko said just now?

Does it matter where I found it? It's good food!

[ :D YES. IT'S CHOCOLATE :D ]

And you know, I really have no idea, but let's pretend we understand him until I can sneak to the computer for some instant translation ~

[ The cactus blinks up at Watari and Tsuzuki and then hops up and down a bit; he didn't catch what they were saying a bit... ]

riko! Watari-amigo! This cacto thought you were Hisoka!

[Tsuzuki blinked, stopping mid-step and staring at the little cactus.]

...What, really? They don't look alike at all.

[ Agrees with Tsuzuki here. ]

I'd think I had more of a smiling face ~ Right, Tsuzuki?

Before you opened the door, Tsuzuki-amigo!

riko riko

[ the cactus hops up and down ]

Hisoka has to come back to his home, amigo!

[action]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Well... he'll probably be back eventually, right?

Sorry I forgot to tell you that Watari was coming over. Oh, hey. Want some macaroni and cheese?

[He looked back up at his co-worker, managing a smile.]

The cake smells great, Watari, thanks. Come on into the kitchen!

I don't mind ~ I don't think I have anything else in my lab that's not sweet~

[cacto-ocupado.livejournal.com]

No problema, amigo! riko

[ Riko hops enthusiastically and in circles around Tsuzuki ]

It's this cacto's job to know when Hisoka is coming back!

[action]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[Tsuzuki scuffled around in the nearest drawer for a moment before unearthing a spoon to serve the macaroni and cheese. Oh, and plates, too. And forks for the cake. Somehow he managed to juggle it all to the table.]

There we go! - uh. Want yours down where you can actually reach it, Riko, or would you rather sit on the table? I don't think a chair's going to work too well.
