Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, if you feel like it I guess. What's the big deal about getting it from five people? Aniki loves you anyway. Xx

[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

Send this to all the people you love and care for, because if you don't, then something preeeetty bad might happen to them! Heart failure is pretty serious~! Kehehehehehe!!!

(( ooc note ; break is sending this to literally everyone in the game, so I'm sorry... Feel free to figure out he caused it, since it's not like he's trying that hard to hide it. ))

[Oh god that's so cute??? He has no idea how to do this keyboard stuff but he will try and tap out a message to her in like five minutes because what is writing on this weird thing.]

How do you do that?

[mermaiding]

on keys there is one that brings up symbols. is you press it, you wil see the arrows. put left arrow, right arrow, and left arrow again

<>< see?

[sunshied]

What?

[YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE BIG GESTURES LIKE THAT TO HIM, ANIKI. IT'S EMBARRASSING.]

I love you too?

[As if that was a question.]

I couldn't get them to look nice all together.

[mermaiding]

do you know what aquariums are?

[She has a reasoning for this seemingly random question, promise]

[sunshied]

No? What is that?

[Though he can hazard a guess since fish.]

[mermaiding]

place with lots of fish, many different kinds. also other ocean animals sometimes. jellyfish and dolphins and things.

we should go see one.

[sunshrouded]

why do you sound confused?!

text;

[sunshied]

Only because I don't get why you just say it like a normal person I don't even know what an 'x-ray' is.

text;

[sunshrouded]

oh right. it's a new form of technology in this place!! it takes a picture of your bones. i don't get it but it's pretty cool!

text;

[sunshied]

Oh, I see. Is that something the doctors here can use for injuries then? It sounds useful.

[sunshied]

Oh that sounds really great! I'd like that. Is it somewhere you've seen before? Since you know about them.

Had an x-ray done today, not sure what it is still! But Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for!

You don't have to though it's all for fun!

Re: Text

[sunshied]

You really care about me and Aniki a lot, huh. I'll try to send this to others too.

[Once he figures out how to copy and paste, of course]

voice;

[sunshied]

[What...? He doesn't know you why does this keep happening to him that people he doesn't know - or remember knowing??? - send him these things.]

I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong person?

Text

[littlestbaskerville]

I do! You don't have to if you don't wanna Oz and everyone said it was for fun.

We should play sometime! I got Sousei to play checkers with me one time!

[She is still mastering that...she keeps typing it out each time.]

text;

[sunshrouded]

yeah!! the future has managed to advance really far. it's impressive!

text;

[sunshied]

It sounds it. So if Aniki ever gets sick again then it wouldn't be any problem, right?

Text

[sunshied]

What kind of games you want to play?

[He might be able to help her with the checkers thing... a little bit anyway.]

Text

[littlestbaskerville]

Tag is really fun! I like checkers but I like other games too.

[She is excited enough to switch to voice soon.]

[mermaiding]

no. i do not like seeing anything locked up like that

however, i miss the sea. i want to see those familiar things again. i do not know if there is one in the city, but i think there might be. we can see?

text;

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . ?]

what.... kind of sick?

[You can't talk to him about that sort of thing so casually, Soramaru. Aniki hates doctors that aren't his personal one after all.]

text;

[allfortheclan]

[ It's been a few days since the new arrivals, and Shirasu is finally checking in with people he should have contacted right away. ]

Soramaru, are you settled in?

Text

[sunshied]

What kind of game is that? I haven't heard of it.

[If he knew it was a board game, he'd explain what ones he knows - though she probably would rather play kids games, right?]

[sunshied]

We'll go. If that's what you'd like to do - I'll go with you. It's not good to have something to miss from home. If there's anything else I can do to help, please tell me?

[He had Tenka and Sousei so it was hard to feel homesick, even if he felt uneasy without Chuutaro around him.]

Text

[littlestbaskerville]

You have to move piece on a board and take the other persons you wanna get kinged!

[She has many interest, she's been learning more board games so she can play with Sousei. He seems to be okay with those kinds.]

text;

[sunshied]

Like hung over.

[YES THAT'S TOTALLY IT. He's so smooth.]

text;

[sunshied]

[He hadn't realized how quickly time had gone by since he'd spoken to Shirasu last. It felt strange still, but he's glad he messaged him. He wishes now that he'd done it first, even if he still had mixed feelings on what to even do. His conversation with Sousei still rings in the back of his head.]

I am about as settled as I can be. Luckily Aniki still had some of my things.

[He wishes he could remember being here before, but somehow it didn't matter. He adapted well enough.]

Text

[sunshied]

Oh! Would you teach it to me? It sounds like fun.

[And actually... really easy. If he knew Sousei knew such a game, he'd ask him to teach him - though they usually might spar instead of play board games.]

Text

[littlestbaskerville]

I can teach you too! It's fun, I like playing tag and stuff too...but Sousei doesn't wanna play those games with me.

[She's lucky she got him with checkers so she takes that as a win. Sparing would interesting in the sense that it means people could play with Bandersnatch...though she would have to control the creature from killing.]

text;

[allfortheclan]

I know he's very happy to have you back.

My brother is also here. I will take responsibility for him.

[ The primary reason for contacting Soramaru. As much as he thinks he might like to just chat with him, Shirasu won't be the one to make the first move, there. ]

text;

[sunshied]

Will he really be an issue? Aniki can take care of himself, if he visits you.

[As for himself? Well, he'll just be careful to keep some distance, though he still hasn't exactly gone out of his way to see Shirasu either. He's still not sure of anything right now.]

text;

[allfortheclan]

I don't plan on keeping him locked in my apartment.

And I made a promise to your brother. I said I would keep it.

[ It's probably not what you meant, but just so everyone's clear... his twin is going to be completely free of boxes and caves and cells, for the first time in his life. ]

text;

[sunshied]

I wouldn't want that for him. Thank you for still wanting to keep your promise to Aniki.

[He feels a little safer, at least, knowing Shirasu is still the same as always.]

Can I come see you soon?

[He's terrified of doing so, but he feels as if he needs to face a few things if he wants to let go of how conflicted he is. He knows Sousei might be disappointed in him and he's not even sure if it would help him forgive Shirasu, but at least they would be on the same page.]

text;

[allfortheclan]

[ It takes a few minutes for him to reply. He wasn't expecting that question. ]

Yes, of course. Just let me know when.

text;

[allfortheclan]

[ Quickly after. ]

Tenka and I have tea in the garden once a week. I'm sure he won't mind if you come, if it would make you more comfortable.

text;

[sunshied]

I'm not afraid of you, you know. I can come by myself if possible.

[Not that he would want to keep such a thing from Tenka but he might just so he won't worry. He wouldn't mind having Tenka there but he also doesn't want anyone to think he's afraid of Shirasu. It's more of a general unease that he wants to sort out for himself.]

We used to spend time together before, didn't we?

text;

[allfortheclan]

[ ... ]

I will have to buy some more tea, then.

[ Kumous. ]

text;

[sunshied]

[o-oh... they're really going to hang out like old times... this is both nerve wrecking and very pleasant. He really is relieved that they aren't going to be weird with one another. He still is very confused on how to talk about things but it's a start? Shirasu is still Shirasu.]

Do you have konpeito as well? If not I can make something else.

[One thing Shirasu should be thankful for is that this is the one Kumou who can actually cook so that is less work for him-!!]

[mermaiding]

There is much of your brother in you.

[She plays with her device a moment, wondering when this only semi-serious conversation turned fully serious and blames herself. Stupid.]

Thank you.
