[ What else is a sorcerer-slash-king-of-curses supposed to do in the late hours of the evening than browse the internet out of boredom? Or try to.

Emphasis on "try." ]

Courtesans
Courtesans in Neo-Tokyo metropolitan area

[ ...wait, what's going on?

Why aren't any of his search terms producing results? They're just sitting there when he hits "send?" This search engine is terrible. Who designed this?

Maybe he should use more exact terms. Is he using criteria that are too broad? ]

Courtesans that know how to play shogi
Courtesans that know how to play shogi near me

[ Still nothing.

Alright this is starting to piss him off... ]

_{[ oh no ]}

You’re using the internet wrong.

_{[ his WELL ACTUALLY has gotten worse, sorry.. ]}

It’s okay. I did too at first. Can I help you?

[hachikai]

[ et tu brute? ]

Help me how?

[vorous]

If you look on your ocular device, open up the Internet first. Then, there is a bar at the top where you put in your search. If you want to be extra safe, you can go to www.google.com first and put your search in there.

Also, I know how to play Shogi! My friend Shuro taught me when we first met. Do you like that game?

[hachikai]

[ He doesn't give Laios any indication that he's following his instructions, but there he goes doing it anyway. Sure enough, the actual search engine page appears and he stares at it for a moment in silence.

Once more, the overly talkative blond has aided him in a sense. He's starting to feel indebted. Almost. ]

It's been some time since I played, but it was a sufficient pastime.

Do you know how to pour alcohol properly? Specifically so it won't spill?

[vorous]

<sub>[ Laios has no idea why pouring alcohol has anything to do with Shogi. He is absolutely missing the point.

But earnestly: ]</sub>

What? You expect me to excel and cooking and not know how to pour a glass of alcohol properly? There are also certain ways different alcohol should be poured. Depends on the container it’s in, depends on the glass you are using, etcetera.

_{[ hate he actually said etcetera. ]}

[hachikai]

Aodh's selection of manservant is impeccable, it seems.

Now that you say all that, I suppose I do feel the fool.

[vorous]

Hey, you don’t gotta say that. I wasn’t trying to make you feel foolish, I was just saying it makes sense so would know something like that.

You’re impressed? I mean, people should learn how to pour alcohol and play Shogi, but that is just what I think.

You wanna play sometime?

[hachikai]

[ Laios is something else. He never knows what to expect from him, though he keenly misses Uraume more every time he speaks to him. ]

My schedule follows my whims, so you can come by whenever you like. If I'm there.

You should tell me more of the beasts you've encountered when you do.

[vorous]

_{[ WAO.. an invitation to monster word vomit?! This is a good distraction and would cheee him up instantly. ]}

Oh!! I would love to! There’s a lot of them that I could talk about. Do you have a preference for what kind?

[hachikai]

[ Part of him wonders if he might be getting more than he bargained for with this, but...well, beggars can't be choosers. And he is genuinely curious about the wealth of knowledge Laios possesses. ]

Start however you please. Though getting your least favorites out of the way would leave more time to regale me with facts about your favorites.

[vorous]

_{[ He's so happy, wtf. ]}

Okay! Where are you at? I'll come over and explain everything right away!

_{[ hold up there, nobody said anything about coming over.. ]}
