Osomatsu snickers, “That they’re human shaped, mostly. No, but really, though, um. I dunno. That they have a good sense of humor and a bit more patience than the average? That, and they’re super cute, but, well. Most people are!” His head falls to the table with a childish whine. “I mostly want my contract to be less strict!”
Karamatsu leans an elbow on the table, staring into space. (What a nerd.) “I simply ask for one thing: love, in its many forms. A love for the arts, for poetry, for life! For me, hopefully. If that is there, I would be satisfied.” Someone love him so he can perhaps gain some modicum of chill about it.
Choromatsu looks seriously pensive for a second. “It all depends. Are they serious or playful, organized or free spirited, more on the cute side or more mature? I mean, I guess that I’m already interested in cute people, but sometimes a nice contrast is good, too, when you think about the unpredictability it would bring, but there’s nothing wrong with comforting normality, is there?” He’s sill going. Choromatsu’s picky, but also anxious that he’s going to alienate someone. He’s desperate for affection from basically anyone.
Ichimatsu scoffs, “As if anyone would be interested in me for long. I guess liking animals, being chill, not minding that they’re with trash. If I ask for too much, I might never get it.” How did he smuggle a kitten into this event? More importantly, can we pet it too?
“Ooh, I know!” Jyuushimatsu doesn’t hesitate. “A good laugh and a good sense of humor are tip-toppermost on my list! And being, like, genuinely nice and willing to joke back or tell me when something’s not working!” He pauses for a second, smile turning from thrilled to a more quiet happiness, despite not losing its size. “Yeah. That’s what I want. Someone honest!”
Todomatsu hums in thought. “Someone who calms the people around them would be nice. Oh, or someone who invigorates people! Someone who has an energy all their own that has a good sense of self, and maybe a willingness to spoil me. I deserve that much, right? I’ll return it tenfold, I swear!”
Salah outside hack: if the time for salah comes and you don’t want to pray in the street and there is no mosques near for some reason, go to a clothes shop, pick up a random item and go to the changing rooms. They have just enough space to make sujood.
I know people (including me) are always like “dont be ashamed to pray outside!” But i know that in some countries, and especially in this day and age with the political climate, it’s sometimes daunting. People are worried about attacks etc. Use changing rooms, use libraries, use the empty aisles of a supermarket. Stay safe, but do not sacrifice your ibaada; do not delay or miss your prayers.
Karamatsu and Todomatsu are almost ridiculously pleased when they get these. They simply expected their questions to go along with someone else’s drink order, but, well. It’s just one drink, they can be a little greedy.
After they both tried to answer at the same time, Karamatsu made an “after you!” gesture, and Totty jumped at the chance.
“My perfect date… probably would depend on the season! A late night stroll in fall or winter before settling somewhere cozy with calming lights, watching cherry blossoms in spring, beach and festival dates in summer? I would want to soak up the best parts of every season with the person I like. Make a sweet thing sweeter!” He takes a sip with a wink, and looks to Karamatsu. His turn!
“I must admit,” Karamatsu starts, pensively stirring his drink, “I’ve dreamt of such things for years. To bring this list of billions down to one would be nigh impossible!” Eight to ten eyes in sextuplets around the Sutaabaa roll in unison. “I can, at least, give you a few recurring thoughts. Serenades under balconies after dark. Secluded rose gardens. Theaters showing our favorite works. Wine glasses. Sincere good nights on dark doorsteps.”
“You’re not stopping inside, then?”
“…What?”
“Even in your daydreams, you’re a virgin, huh? Karamatsu-niisan is a little cherub!”
Osomatsu looks a bit surprised when he hears that drink name. “Oh, wow, zombie invasion? Uh. Ok, there are two clear paths.” He counts off on his fingers as he mentions his points. “One, book it and board up every opening and wait for everything to reset tomorrow. Two, deal with being a zombie because I guess I’m just a rotten guy, eeeey.”
He leans in, almost confidentially. “Though… I think we’ll be a bit less, uh. Dead. This Christmas. I mean, we’re still single, but, man, there are people who assure us we wouldn’t be if our contract were looser. Like, me, myself, personally, that makes me feel a bit less like dying when the romance and jingle bells come out.”

((I say festive seasonal Sutaabaa collaboration. Check out the post after this and send some in with one brother per drink! Two per question, maximum.))
O: Eeey, long time no see! It’s been way too long! We haven’t had the time to do more than sleep recently, bud. I’m so tired, dude.
K: We’ve been horribly busy! For our last single, we did a ridiculous amount of interviews and appearances. It was like our summer concerts all over again! A flurry of excitement, adventure, and–
C: And the same questions in every interview. We also had that part in Rocky Horror, and… [almost sing-song] a few appearances overseas because they liked us! Daytime shows and a few “late night” ones, and clips from them are all over, it’s unbelievable! We were in tabloids! This exposure could be so huge.
I: It was a pain with the language barrier, but they thought we were fun. Still, if I see another “How can a toon that looks like this sound like this?” comment, I will shit on their desk.
J: They always pick clips where we sound really super good, though! Oh, and we have a few more coming up, but we’re home now! Well, Banderole home, not with mom and dad home. It’s practice time!I Ichiko is drilling us on carols from all around the world for Hatabou’s annual Christmas party. We’ll be outside and in the lobby singing all night!
T: Cameras aren’t allowed in without his express permission, so we’re gonna try to see if we can livestream it to you guys. We’ll be premiering a new song there too as part of… either the beginning of the party, or as the finale. We’re not sure what he’ll decide yet.
