[It's one of those slow days for a certain god, so he's started mulling over things in that ominous sort of way one does around 3am. This despite the fact it is NOT three in the fucking morning and is instead during the day when normal people are doing normal people things.

Sadly, Yato is not normal.]

Hey guys! I've been thinking, if you could choose what sort of kaiju shows up next, what would it be?

Some of us want a big turkey or chicken kaiju for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but how cool would it be if there was a capybara kaiju?! Or maybe you wanna see a unicorn one! Or something freaky with tentacles and lots of eyes! You monsterfuckers, you. Hehe~

So tell me about your dream kaiju! I'm all ears!

And no saying "no kaiju" - that's cheating!

Why tentacles as an example?

I'm pretty sure anyone who would want that has never fought anything with them.

[Ah right, the real question though...]

Anyway, has there been a turtle one? That could be interesting.

[intertwinedfates]

[B-Bootyshaker.....]

It's a popular option where I'm from. Probably exactly because not many of the people there have had anything to do with them. I'm willing to bet they'd change their tune if they had to get up close and person with a violent set of 'em.

Turtle, though, huh? Not so far as I know! But that would be cool! I'd want to try standing on top of it and sliding off like the world's biggest slide!

[soft_shelled]

[He likes to dance!]

They'd better. Having had personal experience with them, they're gross.

And huh. The slide might be hard depending on the type of turtle. Some breeds shells aren't that smooth.

[intertwinedfates]

[That's fair, hehe.]

You're telling me. Granted, the ones I'm used to fighting are part of ayakashi, or negative spirits, but still.

Ah, true. Though that could be fun in itself! A giant game of Plinko!

[soft_shelled]

It was aliens in my case, so. Yeah.

[Oh boy, time for Donnie to be Donnie about a thing.]

What the heck is "Plinko"?

[intertwinedfates]

Yeah, aliens'll do it. I imagine they're not quite so pleasant to handle, either.

[Don't worry, dude! He's gotchu covered!]

Oh, it's this compellingly simple game where you drop a chip from atop a giant peg board and watch it bounce down to see what prize you win!

[Sending attachment.gif!!]

[soft_shelled]

Don't get me started on the ones I fought.

[Oh boy that is...]

Huh, it looks like something my father would watch.

[aka OLD.]

[intertwinedfates]

That good of a time, huh?

[It sure is something, isn't it? Daytime TV, hell yeah!]

It's fun when you want to turn your brain off for a bit and just watch humans be a bit silly.

[soft_shelled]

They almost killed me and my family.

[Donnie knows some daytime TV, but mostly what Splinter watches which is...]

I guess? I mean, it's no Soapy Treadmill that's for sure.

[intertwinedfates]

Yikes. Yeah. That'll do it.

[.....soapy...treadmill. The mental images that conjures up is... questionable at best.]

Okay, your turn to explain that one to me.

[soft_shelled]

[Yeah just going to drop the alien talk now, it's a recent, and touchy!, subject.]

Well, it's a... I think Japanese? Game show father watches. It starts with contestants covered in soap running on a treadmill, eventually they start adding scorpions into the mix. I don't know if anyone has actually won it?

[intertwinedfates]

[Totally understandable. Besides, there's a hell of a lot to unpack in this one part of the conversation alone.]

Oh, I love our game shows! And I was totally on board with this idea until you got to the scorpion bit. That seems a bit less fun than soap and treadmills. I mean, not only dangerous but unfair to the scorpions, too??

[soft_shelled]

I don't think they put the scorpions on the treadmill, more like at the end of it. So that they can sting the runners, which might be fun for the scorpions?

At least I assume, from the one scorpion mutant I knew, although he seemed more intent on blowing up a zoo instead.

[intertwinedfates]

Ah, that makes a little more sense, then. I did think it would be a bit unfair to make the scorpions run too when they didn't sign up for it. But just getting to sting people does seem like something they'd be up for.

...you come from a very interesting world, to put it mildly. I can't think why anyone would wanna destroy a zoo of all places.

[soft_shelled]

It also means they can avoid animal cruelty charges.

I mean, it's pretty normal if you ignore the mutants and Yokai. And oh, if I remember correctly? He wanted to blow it up because his co-workers there were mean to him? And were the reason why he mutated.

[intertwinedfates]

Yeah, that tends to be a good thing. Even scorpions deserve respect.

Mutants sound a bit different from what I'm used to, though I know Yokai in a way, if more as ayakashi. ...yeah, that definitely sounds like a personal problem gotten way out of hand. Some people just need to take a step back and realize assholes aren't worth their effort.

[soft_shelled]

Yeah well, mutants are different from Yokai? Even if they look alike and a Yokai is the one who made mutants.

And it was, thankfully it ended well and nothing got blown up. Or dunked into acid.

[Did Donnie forget to mention the acid? He totally did.]

[intertwinedfates]

Huh~ I didn't know Yokai had that kind of power, so I guess they must be inherently different from the ayakashi I'm familiar with.

.....

Not sure I wanna know where acid fits into this, in all honesty. That shit's nasty to mess with.

[soft_shelled]

It probably helped that Draxum is an... Alchemist.

[Good thing Yato can't see the face Donnie made at writing that. Alchemy is such a non-science in his mind, even though he is living proof of it working.]

I don't even know what he was thinking, really. But I'm sure the acid was for dunking people into.

[intertwinedfates]

Ooh, yeah, I remember when humans experimented with alchemy. Didn't exactly end well for them, honestly.

[Because at least on his version of Earth, if didn't pan out to be anything of a viable science.]

People who are hurt tend not to think too deeply, unfortunately. He probably just wanted to hurt those who hurt him. Glad he didn't go dunking anyone, though. That's just rude and crude.

[soft_shelled]

... How old are you?

[Because he has been getting an old man vibe off of this guy, since the Plinko mention.]

Oh well, he tried? To dunk my brother and a movie star.

[intertwinedfates]

Somewhere around a thousand-fifty, give or take a few decades.

[So... yeah. OLD MAN VIBES ARE ACCURATE.]

Oof. Yeah, that's. Not very nice at all. Sounds like a right old pain in the ass. From the sound of it everything worked out okay though?

[soft_shelled]

How are you even living?

[Donnie, Donnie. You know Yokai who might even be in that age range, not that their ages have been confirmed or anything. Still.]

Yeah, we stopped him.

[intertwinedfates]

[It's a slightly delicate subject, so the response comes delayed.]

Here, probably because I'm not fully a god like I was back home. There... because at least a couple of people believe in me.

Glad to hear that though. Nobody deserves to be hurt like that.

[soft_shelled]

[Donnie's own reply is delayed because well. He is a turtle of science and sure, he had to kind of accept magic and mystic stuff in his life recently, but he's still stubborn about it.

Even though he uses mystic abilities himself.]

A god... Right. And I'm Einstein.

[Sorry Yato, he's not going to believe you.]
