The complex is getting new apartment front door handles (ours was the last one of the day) and the poor maintenance guy came face-to-face with a myriad of weapons, mostly some type of sword, with a gun or a different bladed weapon mixed into the fray. I didn't have the heart to tell him that one of the swordsmen and the gentleman wielding a matching pair of daggers are both blind... Ignis is learning how to use his daggers without sight courtesy of Mamoru the Swordsman.
Prompto and Takaba have been chatting about cameras and other aspects of photography (Prompto watched Takaba develop photos from the Children's Miracle Network "block party" Memorial Day weekend, really interested in the photos of him dancing to different "acts" [especially the Backstreet Boys' song Larger than Life.
].) The "newbie" still dances to it when it plays (in fact, he has it on his mp3 player.
) For those unfamiliar with the song:
Ignis, Kazumi, Kirishima and Alberto Valentiano have been exchanging recipes, Kazumi repeatedly warning Ignis to step back a few feet when there's a fish boil (kerosene causes a rather nice fire iykwim, and nobody wants to cause unnecessary injury.) Ignis was shocked when he first smelled the "mystery ingredient", unsure whether or not it was added to the food (it smells too much like the stuff one puts in the fuel tank, and the youngest member of the quartet didn't want to poison his friends, especially his king!)
The newest group met Kuma the Bear, Koru the Panther and Betty the Tiger (they already met "Snake"'s snakes, so that was one less thing to worry about.) Ignis found out that both Kuma and Koru are willing "guide" animals as well as guardians/defenders (they were also in the apartment when the handle was replaced.*)
Oops, gotta go. We're having a rather long day and Shigure is ready to throw a few of her shuriken to get my attention. Okay, okay. I'm going. Sheesh.
