Good morning from Mishima We got kind of a late start because I overslept (whoops) but otherwise it's a great day for a drive to Numazu!

@renkotsuban omg amazing 🤩

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

Walked through Nakamise shopping center and headed to River Books. It was very hot but lots of shade on the way which was nice

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

Made it to River Books. We found out that there was a display for RIOT in June, and that the mangaka Tsukada Yūta had stopped by for autographs..... we missed it..... noooooo

Oh well. We got:

- Nihon Genjū Zusetsu (Encyclopedia of Mythological Japanese Creatures)
- the zine How to Book in Japan
- RIOT sticker
- bookmarks of the Himonora dressed to look exactly like the shopkeeper lmao

Wish we lived closer so we could come here more often...

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

Technically we have fulfilled the requirements of getting five bookmarks but I wanna go to the other side of the station and get one more from a stationery shop

Then it's back to the fish markets to pick up our prize and omiyage, drive to Ichigo Plaza and then home!!

@renkotsuban I've had food areive on a tiny train before but never a river, wow! And the theme is so cute omgggg

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

We made it to the stationery shop, and I bought a fan and a shitagaki (pencil board? plastic thing to put behind my notebook paper as I write so it doesn't go through to the next sheet) for my notebook. Not exciting stuff but this does at least let us get bookmarks

Getting some ice coffee from McDonald's (and maybe a discreet nap lol) before going back to fish market

[mynotaurus@floofy.tech]

@renkotsuban oh my godd

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

Tragedy... the shop to turn in our bookmarks for prizes closes at 3pm, and we arrived at 4pm

So.......... looks like........... we..... we have to..................

...................we just have to come back to Numazu tomorrow

[btsherratt@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@renkotsuban Or perhaps find a last minute 旅館 to stay at and get embroiled in a murder mystery?

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

@btsherratt Unfortunately we have a hungry kitty waiting for us at home But if we had planned better we would have done just that hahaha

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

Shout-out to the MVP, these alcohol wipes, without you I would be so miserable haha

[lukito@pelicanfly.fyi]

@renkotsuban @btsherratt

Some days it’s a 旅館,

but today it’s a 旅館-not

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

Currently at Ichigo Plaza, tonight's dessert GET Also found a parking spot in the shade, time for a quick nap before heading home

Tomorrow's plan: leave early, get one more bookmark from an omiyage shop we missed, and turn in for prizes BEFORE 3PM!!

@renkotsuban @lukito INTO THE PUNGEON

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

Having The Serious Talk and decided that maybe we shouldn't drive all the way back to Numazu tomorrow just for (checks notes) a glow-in-the-dark eraser and Himonora card

Being a rational adult sucks LOL

[renkotsuban@maestoso.org]

Oh well. We still got six Himonora bookmarks out of this?! And a lot of Actual Stuff too hahaha
