the ultimate truth is not even to think [OPEN]

[its_dad_sanzo]

Who: Koumyou Sanzo, OPEN
Where: All over the train!
When: Kazoo 17-20
What: Koumyou Sanzo napping in increasingly ridiculous locations all over the train. (Giving it its own post because it's not platform day related.)
Warnings: Probably nothing.

(Unless stated otherwise, Koumyou is in his usual Sanzo uniform. Mr. Wiggles may be in some of these as well. I will match prose or brackets. TY Avie and Matt for suggested spots.)

xxxxx🌙 In A Cabinet

Your character opens a cabinet somewhere. Under the kitchen counter? Above the kitchen counter? In stores? Literally anywhere else with cabinets that aren't locked?

And instead of finding what they were looking for, they find Koumyou Sanzo, fast asleep, drooling a little bit on the wood under his cheek.

xxxxx🌙 Washing Machine

He'd tried to do laundry. He really had. It's blue's turn, and the priest had thought he was up to doing it...

But now here he is, standing in front of a running washing machine with his upper half leaned over onto it, head pillowed on his arms, absolutely passed out. At least it's kind of warm?

xxxxx🌙 Under A Table

Your character takes a seat at a table in the dining car, only to realize there's something underneath it, down at their feet. Something soft?

A body!

But not a dead one. Koumyou is just conked out on the floor down there, like you do. A pitch black cat with glowing purple eyes is curled up on top of him, giving your character a look. Excuse you, can't you see they're napping here?

xxxxx🌙 In The Sauna

Well, at least going into this location, Koumyou had known he'd probably end up asleep. That's normal, for him. But sitting upright in the sauna in his swim trunks was still new for him, head tipped back and to the side against the wall behind him.

That's a lot of scars and bruises on display, stretched over his wiry frame.

...Is he snoring? He's absolutely snoring. And he's definitely going to have a sore neck after this.

xxxxx🌙 Library

Here Koumyou's sitting on the floor with his back against a bookcase, an open book on his lap and a black cat on the book. This time, his head's tipped forward. Maybe he's reading?

He's... slowly tipping over to one side, so maybe not.

xxxxx🌙 Wildcard

(Feel free to think of somewhere else he could have passed out for your character to find, if you like. Or we can do something else entirely, I'm easy-going. He won't climb INTO a washer or the fridge or anything like that, but otherwise shit's fair game. On the climbing frame in the gym? In a sleeper car hallway? On top of a food crate? Go wild.)

"... Sleeping on top of a washing machine?"

Thanatos has to wonder if he's somehow met Hypnos. Hypnos would fall asleep on top of a washing machine. Or at least fall asleep floating above a washing machine. He could probably fall asleep anywhere.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Koumyou laughs at that, equal parts exhausted and delighted.

"Maybe so!"

In truth, he'd meant the whole magic without chanting, thing... but this is much funnier.

[controlsthedie]

Sometimes, Thanatos really hates how vague and confusing words can be. Is it any wonder he has such trouble with communication?

"Please do not count me among those who sleep on washing machines. I am waiting for my clothes to dry, not be washed."

[its_dad_sanzo]

"Really? You've never slept on one once? But they're so comfy..."

Leave it to Koumyou to troll Death.

[controlsthedie]

"I normally do not sleep." And he really doesn't trust that those are comfy at all.

[its_dad_sanzo]

"Well, no time like the present!" Koumyou can't fucking help himself. He pats the washing machine next to his, and then leans down onto the one he'd been slumped onto before. "If you're brave enough to try it."

[controlsthedie]

"I'm not one of the ones who constantly have to prove themselves for the sake of their pride."

So that means he stays exactly where he is.

[its_dad_sanzo]

"No? That's a shame," Koumyou actually stays slumped onto the washer, though he lifts his head and props his chin on a hand. "People with big egos are fun to poke at."

[controlsthedie]

"You'll need to find a different target." Still, Thanatos forces himself up to check on the status of his clothing. If it's not dripping wet, he can drape it across the railing of his bunk to finish drying.

Laundry is such an annoying chore.

[its_dad_sanzo]

"Ah, just as well," Koumyou straightens up and gives a big stretch, arms up over his head and all. "That floating trick's still cool."

[controlsthedie]

"It's not a trick. It's just something that I do." Thanatos folds his clothing, even if it's slightly damp still. He gives a curt nod of farewell before he wobble floats out the door. Maybe he'll pass out once he reaches the cabin.
