[latin's just not in his Things That Are Important To Know thought process. until now]

Ohhhhh, so for occult stuff? Haha, I guess I've seen that sorta spooky stuff around before then~. There's a guy at my school who's wild about it, but I dunno if he'd be able to read it or if it's just for show. You know, like those people who through stuff into Google and hope it gets translated right.




[it's natsume. the edgy latin knower is natsume. subaru'll flip the coin between his fingers again, idle habits of Not Being Able To Stop Moving manifesting.]

You mean, like... One of 'em had the eagle thing showing, and the other had the text instead? Or lack of text, whatever. Maybe one side brings 'em back to life or something like that~.

[it's like, half-joking, 'cause there's no way that'd be it, but wouldn't that be cool?

... wouldn't that be cool, so things could be fixed with natsume and the others and subaru won't have to pretend that he doesn't know the guy (even if he's doing a poor job at it)?]

[unsurely]

[ Brings them back to life...

Words Shuichi would be tiredly trying to brush off in any other situation, but after everything that's happened in this school, it wouldn't be the most surprising thing. Although... it still sounds... a little too easy. If it were possible, he doesn't know how he'd feel; after all, once people die... they're gone. That's the point -- that's why losing others hurts so much.

But this isn't really the time to get depressed. ]

I don't know... but I think it's worth a try. When I used Yashiro-san's coin, I mimicked the gorinto that had the text facing up.

[ In other words, if Subaru's willing to take the risk (whatever it entails), they could attempt... to put the bird on top this time. ]

[mermaidcursed]

If... the text let us talk to Okane-san, perhaps... the bird will let us see the person the gorinto is for?

( honestly, given her own goal to save the dead, she's invested in this and the nuances of the coins alike. ... what would freeing them do, she wonders? is there a golden ending to this hell? something to bring back the ones they've lost?

... wishful thinking, probably. but she can still try. )

[starrypoint]

[spooky...☆

well--]

I'm game to try if you guys are~! I like how shiny it is, but if it'll help someone out then I don't mind giving it away. Coins aren't meant to be hoarded, y'know~☆

[unsurely]

...Thank you, Akehoshi-kun.

[ That's... a surprisingly sensible approach, and Shuichi's expression appears to brighten a little with relief as he listens. The Subaru and Nene effect combined... too powerful. After a second of hesitation, he gives them both a firm nod.

If they're willing to do this, then so is he. They have to try something, the truth won't just... find itself. ]

Then... ah, I suppose it might be best if we waited until Sunday. Since the regular students won't be around...

this is just making me want them to make friendship bracelets tbqh

[mermaidcursed]

Right... um. I-I know it's a lot to ask, but... if I can't come with, will you tell me everything that happens? I have some... investment, I guess you could say, in this sort of thing.

( nene honey why would you not be able to.............. honestly part of her might be assuming that subaru is going to go since she went for her coin, and. what if three's a crowd?

nene. n e n e.

but at least shuichi's smiling. that alone helps her mood too... so it looks like team sunshine has to attack shuichi at least once a day! for his health!! )

WAIT PLEASE DO SUBARU'D SO BE DOWN FOR IT

[starrypoint]

I don't mind if you come~. Sai-chan, you don't mind either, right? If you've got a horse in the race, then you've gotta see it through to the end! There's no point in coming half-way, y'know?

[which seems to be something he's very About, seeing things through... regardless subaru'll pocket the coin for safekeeping and take both their hands in his own, giving him a gooooood shake!!]

But if something comes up and you can't, you'll be the first person to know everything! Ooooh, I'm so excited! I can't wait to see what happens!

[unsurely]

[ Shuichi softly shakes his head, the lingering traces of that happier expression inspired by both of them still on his face. There shouldn't be any issue if Nene comes with them... if anything, they'll have more insurance that if something does go wrong, either they'll be able to get away or at least one of them will so they can tell the others what's going on. Although that's... maybe not such a positive thought, and he scraps it for now. ]

No... I'd also feel a little more reassured if Yashiro-san joins us. So of course I don't mind.

[ He thinks for a minute, but... he's the only second year among them, right? Unless Subaru is too, because at this point he probably hasn't checked the roster for where he is yet, but since they know for sure in his case... ]

But... ah, there's a small chance it could turn dangerous, so even if you're excited... be careful, alright? We can meet in my homeroom on Sunday before going. It's 2-C, so it's on the same floor as the art club.

[ and i'm assuming they did that so here we go... let's get this party started ]

[mermaidcursed]

( nene gives a small smile and nods. sunday, 2-C... and much like last time, she will make something to eat afterwards. providing that whatever they learn doesn't bring them down too much- no. no, then she's especially got to do that. taking care of her friends... she's got to. )

Okay. We can do that. I'll see if I can think of things to ask ahead of time...

( which she will relay! later! woo! )
