You know what you're going to do? You're going to scare all the customers away.
And then what's going to happen? Chuu's gonna lose all the investment he put into this place. And then you know what? Bankrupt. Drinks his own supply. Out of business. Years of work gone to waste. Alas, poor Chuu.
Why?
Because you wanted to put this uglyass amateur statue somewhere besides the dump.
[maybe he should be less willing to discuss his boyfriend's demise]
Okay, but shut up real quick. Y'know why this is a great statue? 'Cause horses are mythical now. It's like having a statue of a dragon outside your shop! Totally cool! It screams character! People love taking pictures of stuff like this.
[ He demonstrates by posing next to the statue with his trademark pose. You know the one. More pictures = more publicity = more $$$!! Yato only has the best in mind for the Inkwell. Yes! ]
You got a problem, you take it up with the bossman!
[ chuuya doesn't even know about this but yato assumes chuuya will be in his corner. so what if baren is the boyfriend BIG WHOOP ]
[ well ok chuuya is here now and SURELY THAT MEANS HE WILL SAVE YATO FROM BAREN ]
Boss, boss! He [ points at baren ] vandalized my statue!
[ Again, the statue is of an excessively majestic rearing horse with long, flowing locks, atop which a very Yatolike figure sits dressed in a ceremonial kimono... What's the deal indeed ]
[chuuya just. watches this. quietly questions his life and choices.
then he huffs and steps in-between them, pointing at yato first.]
Okay. You have a shrine here so you can put a MINIATURE version of this with it, I'm pretty sure we'd have to get permission from the city to just put a statue here. And you--
[BAREN'S TURN]
If you threaten to cancel sex over dumb shit again then you're definitely not getting any! The hell is your problem?
[ Yato stares at the broken statue, oblivious to the hand on his shoulder and Chuuya's attempt at consolation. But maybe Chuuya can feel the growing tremble in Yato's body. A precursor... ]
chuuya throws up his hands and apparently decides to leave them to it, now that his intervention isn't needed on the statue-chan matter. he's not jumping into this fight.]
Look, I have work to do, can't you at least find an alley to beat each other up in instead of doing this right outside my bar?!

[ He gestures grandly at the statue. Observe: the luscious, flowing mane! The regal bearing! The steely eyes of god and steed! ]
Eye-catching, don't you think? It might even draw in more customers.

i pinged teej for this
Okay.
[And he'll walk inside the Inkwell to find Chuuya.
Yato will probably not be interested in knowing what Baren threatens Chuuya with.]

Can you two not be like this for five minutes?! What's the big deal with this thing, anyway...
[PLEASE EXPLAIN]

You wouldn't last three days. For a threat to work, it has to be believable, Chuu.

and then proceed to jumpkick at the statue with the intention of knocking it right over then and there]
Garbage!!

2. The statue is obscenely heavy so it does not do much more than wobble in place
3. However the statue is still on the trolley that Yato carted it here on, so the whole thing gets rolling
and rolling
and rolling
and now it's headed for open traffic ]
no subject
baren's favorite thing ever
he doubles over then and there, clutching his stomach in laughter as he watches the statue roll away]
Alright, I'm good.
[and he'll just?? try to leave???? fuckin hell]
no subject
Did you see how heavy that thing is?! We're not just letting it go, it's going to run over somebody!
[what if people think it was his statue what if he's liable???]
Yato, tell me that has brakes-
no subject
Yeah, but it's not like it we can press 'em from here! Can't you stop it with your--

he's doubled over in laughter]
Can the gods hate another god so much....?!
no subject
-at least it didn't hit anybody.
[he's not going to bother telling baren to stop laughing because that's a futile effort... he just sets a hand on yato's shoulder, solemnly.]
...it'll probably glue back on or something, right?
