Oh. [ He wants to roll over and die right now. ] Yes. I mean, yeah. Okay.

I still... gotta try out your food and stuff, so... [ He smiles sleepily and closes his eyes. ] Never been to a wedding.

[meilihua]

Well, this'll be a good chance, right?

[Sitting up straighter, determined not to fall asleep. He was counting on her!]

G-goodnight.

[shortestfuse]

Zzzzzzzz.

[ Yes, he definitely passed out before her goodnight. How embarrassing. Having no shame should be harmful to some people. ]

[meilihua]

[She sits as attentive and quiet as she can, but even her eyelids start to droop after a couple hours. A loud noise snaps her awake in a panic right when she'd finally nodded off]

天哪！

[shortestfuse]

[ True to his word, he sleeps through her exclamation like a dead person. Might wanna jostle him or yell in his ear.

Rofl poor Taiwan uwefnjds. ]

[meilihua]

[She subsides a little when she looks around and sees nothing, drawing her knees up to her chest and glancing around the room nervously. Definitely not going to fall asleep again after that...

Especially not when there's another loud bang, sounding closer this time.]

[shortestfuse]

[ This seems to be enough to rouse him, instincts telling him to get up and stop being a lazy shit, the bang making him roll onto his back and grumble, eyes cracking open. ]

Wuzzat... y'okay?

[meilihua]

[Feeling awkward about it now] I-i heard something really loud... did it wake you up?

[shortestfuse]

Nnn, no. [ Rubbing his eyes, he sits up rather quick and shakes his head. ] I was up, I'm awake.

[ What a blatant lie. Oh well, he doesn't want to make her feel bad. ] Somethin' loud?

[meilihua]

Y-yeah. Two somethings.

B-but I haven't seen anything so...maybe I was just imagining it?

[shortestfuse]

If it was twice, prob'ly not. I can look around.

[meilihua]

I-i'll come with you-! [Hopping off her seat on the couch]

[shortestfuse]

Okay. [ He gets up, stretching a bit before setting out, circling a couch. ] Where'd it come from?

[meilihua]

[Maybe one of the dwarven spiders?]

That way. [Taiwan follows after, eyes darting here and there, on the alert.]

[shortestfuse]

[ There's a clicking and a bang... it appears to be a golden bug the height of a medium sized dog.

He stares at it quietly, holding an arm out in front of Taiwan, skeptical of the thing... it didn't look that scary... ]

[meilihua]

[She peers at it from behind his arm] W-what do you think it is? It looks kind of like a spider...

[shortestfuse]

Looks like that to me too. [ Moves closer. ] Do I throw it away?

[meilihua]

Well...it...hasn't actually done anything yet.

Other than wake us up... Maybe it's friendly?

[shortestfuse]

... [ He crouches down by it only to have it stab him in the foot through his dress shoe.

He stares at it, expression flat. ] I don't think it's friendly. Whaddaya want me to do with it.

[meilihua]

[WHAT-] S-shizuo! [Completely forgot to be polite in her panic] Are you okay? I can't believe it did that-

[shortestfuse]

Okay...? [ Looks down. ] Oh, that. Yeah. Shit doesn't even hurt. Are you okay?

[meilihua]

H-how can that not hurt...? [She's just...staring in horror. What was your question?]

[shortestfuse]

I don't really know. I don't feel much. [ He pulls his leg away from the spider as it advances again. ]

[meilihua]

H-huh? What does that mean? [Dragging on Shizuo's arm and pulling them both backwards away from the spider with surprising strength]

[shortestfuse]

It means- woah. [ He teeters when she tugs him back.

Then stares over at her. ] Means what it sounds like. I can't feel much.

Pain normally. Other strong sensations sometimes.
