[Building a proper fire pit is hard. Tsuzuki is learning this, one rock at a time.

If anyone's out in the western forest around noon, he's busy setting up the bare necessities for a campsite. With luck, they'll have a proper camping place ready for the spring, at worst the summer. Having someplace to grill marshmallows and tell ghost stories is important, okay.]

Owww, my back. This wasn't a good idea...

That many, huh.

I've heard that their mythologies doesn't let people reincarnate. Do you think that's true?

[ voice]

[cynicism]

It might be. Draco says reincarnation doesn't exist for his people.

[ voice]

[idealism]

Then what happens to them once they die the first time?

[ voice]

[cynicism]

Draco says nothing. I think he's just not tried being dead.

[ voice]

[idealism]

That would make sense. But to be fair, if he only gets to do it once it's best to postpone it.

[ voice]

[cynicism]

I agree.

[ voice]

[idealism]

[While death is important to discuss, it still leaves Tsuzuki anxious to change the subject.]
You know, I think it was a good idea to move here. The forest is fantastic.

[ voice]

[cynicism]

It was always here. You should have looked.

[ voice]

[idealism]

I don't know how I've managed to overlook it. I must have been distracted.

--Augh!

[ voice]

[cynicism]

What are you screaming about now? Your back again?

[ voice]

[idealism]

Ants!

[ voice]

[cynicism]

Oh no. Not ants.

The horror.

[ voice]

[idealism]

IN MY PANTS!

[A squeal later, the journal makes a sharp sound as if it hit the ground. Tsuzuki doesn't pick it up, because he's too busy Dealing With This for the moment.]

[voice]

[cynicism]

. . .

[Yeah, no. This isn't a crisis. Hisoka's not even peeking outdoors.]

[voice]

[idealism]

[That's maybe a good thing, because Tsuzuki decided it was best to abandon the pants altogether. A few minutes later, he turns on the video feed again, looking flustered.]

Whew.

[voice]

[cynicism]

Are you done?

[voice]

[idealism]

Yeah. I think we can safely say the ants won this one.

[voice]

[cynicism]

And this surprises you?

[voice]

[idealism]

Well, yeah.

Would you mind tossing out a new pair of pants?

[voice]

[cynicism]

I suppose.

[Pants will be flying out of the window soon enough.]

[voice]

[idealism]

[YAY flying pants! Feeling cheeky, he winks up at the window as he dresses, even though he's fairly sure Hisoka is ignoring him.]

Thanks! Are you coming down soon?

[voice]

[cynicism]

[Ignoring him completely.]

Do I have to?

[voice]

[idealism]

[Tsuzuki is starting to think of Hisoka's stubbordness as a game of sorts. It's safe to look.]

Yes.

[voice]

[cynicism]

But why?

[voice]

[idealism]

Fresh air is good for you, and I like your company.
