[With one hand stretched out and the other holding onto something mounted over his shoulder, Ban popped in on his own post. He looked somewhat dizzy, throwing himself to the side very suddenly. Landing on his feet, Ban looked as if he had just rolled off of the side of a horse--one belonging to an unconscious Masamune Date. Ban shifted the load on his shoulder before tossing him over the back of the horse. At that point, one would be able to see his face in the midst of being knocked out, slumped over the horse.

He looked as if he had been tossed in the dirt--which was pretty much what happened.]

Hey. [Ban gave Masamune's cheek a little smack. He gave him another one. He even settled for pinching his nose shut for a little. Nothing happened.]

Need some heeeelp~. I gave him a pat on the back and he got knocked out.

[Then, Ban lifted a bottle of liquor to his lips--one that apparently came out of nowhere--drinking it back for a few moments before returning to what he was saying.]

Someone wanna take a look at him? There's gotta be somebody who likes this guy~. So, hurry up before I start tryin' to treat him.

Ahhh? Well, I'm the one that knocked 'im out. Course, I coulda' just left him in a field and I'm gettin' the impression somebody'd find him quick.

[Which wasn't to say--Ban wasn't helping Masamune for any reason other than the fact that he thought he was interesting.

He didn't care about what Masamune's friends would think of him.]

It seems... that not so many people are happy that you are keeping an eye on him.

[ Especially when he totally could have ditched him in a field. So, okay, maybe Ban was the one who knocked him out, but that happens when someone doesn't have a lot of control over themselves! ]

Do you want me to talk to them for you? I am a very good mediator!

They'd probably listen to you about anybody but meee~. Don't waste your time talkin' to those losers, though~!

[He could be at sword-point and still act like that, so--a few people getting angry wasn't a big deal to him.]

While we wait for the squirrel to come, you outta tell me some of the recipes you've been workin' on~.

Uh, well...

[ If he can handle it, then he's not going to interfere... ]

I'm still working on spaghetti. But next I want to work on "curry" and cookies. But first I need to find out what a curry is. The lack of a Librarby here is really annoying!

[ Yes. Librarby. ]

[It would be in everyone's best interests if Ban didn't clarify why he knew Shaolin kung fu and how to make curry.

He just did, alright...]

Curry's definitely a step up. Though, the spices may not be easy to get...

[Buuuut, Ban was drunk enough for anything to be possible, so--]

I can help ya' out with thaaat~.

[Spices in a place like this that didn't even have grocery stores seems almost impossible. If it was something he could forage for, that's not a problem, but spice in winter won't be that easy.]

R-really??? You know where I can get some??

[Does not yet quite understand the things Ban "helps" with are usually stolen. Welp.]

[Certainly, Papyrus wasn't wrong about foraging in winter--there wouldn't be fresh materials in those conditions. One would have to store them for awhile in preparation for winter.

So, as both narrators acknowledged, Ban was just going to flat out steal them.]

A' couuuurse. I'm good for gettin' 'tough to acquire' stuuuuuff~!

You're good- no, you're great! -at a lot of things!! Thank you for helping me out with this! I really owe you for this!

[Funny enough, for Ban to steal from the castle it was easier than it was to steal from the market. The castle had lovely little passageways to sneak through, but streets and markets weren't meant for those things.

He had to be more careful there, but the good stuff was really just in the castle.]

Naaaah, you don't owe me a thing~. That's what pals do for each other, riiight~?

Right, but I want to do something for you anyway!

[ Especially since Ban's getting picked on right now... ]

And I'm not taking "no" for an answer!! In fact, I even want you to pick what we should do! I'll do anything you want! Except crimes.

Ahhhn~? [Of course, Papyrus did his best to make certain Ban was cornered, but he took the behemoth's tendency to lean towards simplicity as his first choice.

He didn't really ask Meliodas to do crimes with him or anything and, surprisingly, the most fun they had was in arm-wrestling and running through missions, together.

Ban was just fine playing games with him and lazing around.]

I don't ask anybody to do crimes with me~. Not unless they aaaask.

We could play some games.

Games would be fun!! What kind of games do you like to play? I have a few of my own I like, but they'd take time to set up, and I don't have any of my switches with me...

Weeeeell, lately it's been a lotta drinkin' games, but--

[Not that Papyrus flat out said it to him... Ban just gleaned from speaking with Papyrus and not seeing him handle ale the entire time during a party that he wasn't much for it.]

I don't think you'd be able to~. Nothin' alcoholic, anyway. If you could get me a deck of cards, though--that's another story ♪.

FIRST! I would like to inform you that I can drink alcohol, as I can drink any other beverage, like milk, and popsicles!

[ But the question is, do you really want that. ]

Second! I can absolutely acquire a deck of cards for you! You mean the kind that has the four suits, and kings and queens, right?

Hell yeah~! [It was encouraging to hear. Ban threw his hands up--proud that Papyrus said such an audacious thing!]

You got that right! There's a buncha games you can play with the four suits deck! Let's do it!

I will need to acquire these cards first, but I will let you know when I do!!

You'll probably have to buy the deck in pieces~. They're hand-drawn, so you might be unlucky and only find handfuls in the grip of collectors.

Fear not, Ban! I already have a few ideas on how to go about this!

...

[Mark him curious.

Ban, flat out, had a vested interest in the pre-game antics, already.]

I wanna seeeeee~. Are you a trader or a negotiator ♪?

Well, if I couldn't find anyone who would want to trade for favors or other things... I was going to make my own!

Make your own~?!

Do thaaaat! [There was a sudden flip of a plate as Ban threw his hands in the air.]

That'd be so much cooler~! I'd treasure anythin' you made by haaaaand!

[ Oh, Ban seems really excited about that??? ]

Okay!! I'll just do that, then!!

[ No idea how he's going to get the materials, but it's probably easier to get the materials there than actually getting a whole deck. ]

I'm a lucky guy, aren't I ♪?

[Curling up a little, Ban lifted his empty bottle to the air to toast no one in particular.]

If you need money for supplies, I've got plenty~.

You are very lucky! To be friends with someone as great as me!!

All I need is some stiff paper and some ink, but if I need help getting them, I'll ask you first!

I didn't even know skeletons could be angeeels~. [With a sudden drop, Ban's head struck the table.

...As was tradition.]
