Let's get married.

( emancipating yourself from being part of the arata family, and komaeda takes it in stride to bring up a different question that might not cause rokkun to be so annoyed, or however he feels about his father.

...

...

nice to know that rokkun's willing to talk about his father, though, he'll come back to this subject. )

[adsum]

What... did they even do? He's still here.

[ If they fought the gardener then why is he still alive? get your act together, you guys ]

[commences]

You sound disappointed! Great, that's what I wanted.

( it is, it really is. )

Every three days, I want them to hear from you, can you do that? AraAra-kun.

( is he teasing him? maybe. )

[commences]

Took his mask, and eyes... I guess, and oh, they took his box!

( maybe he's waiting around because he wants his box back or something. )

[adsum]

[ Like in any war, the tide of battle can change in an instant and it's difficult— impossible— to determine the winner until the last piece is captured.

That said, Hikaru was losing. Go is such a quiet game, usually, and you can easily get crosseyed looking at black and white and black and white, so it's to give their eyes a rest that Hikaru looks up and catches Aira's eyes.

... ]

Mmm... you're tough to beat, senpai. Can I call a friend? Aira! [ cups their hands around their mouth, even if he's not sitting so far away that they'd have to shout ] Do you know how to play go? I need a general!

[adsum]

[ TOOK HIS EYES god, okay, making a mental note to avoid those two from now on ]

What was inside the box?

[commences]

He isn't sure, they need a few keys... We located two, we just need the third one... I wonder if the one who holds the key to my heart has it...

( he DID have a key... )

[adsum]

[ asfdklhj i was doing my best trying to get out of the 30s, I hope you're asleep now

Maya's just sort of staring at Natsume's hand, though, because they're here standing in front of the school and she knows Natsume can't set foot outside of campus or bend the space-time continuum, so what—- ]

That virtual reality you mentioned?

[ That she had brushed off because it was a stupid question at the time. Hypothetical, she had thought. ]

[crystallomancy]

( yeah i'm asleep i'm tagging you from the dream world

Take his hand one of these days, it's heavy to wait for her. )

CorRECT. A few weeks ago I chanced upon the system I deveLOPED, and I figured it'd be less energy-consuming than the other idea I HAD. ( Which was to use magic, but that's a surprise for another moment. ) I've already run tests on it with willing particiPANTS, so neither you nor I are going to be in harm's way using IT.

( ...

He curls his fingers slightly. )

What do you SAY?

[mermaidcursed]

( thinking about kazuki and komaeda both telling nene she needs to take better care of herself and not burden herself so much days before her stephanie-induced breakdown

anyways.

having to relive your death over and over seems pretty 'hurting'! but! fine, okay!

nene draws her legs in a little, listening. admittedly, she wants to retain 'nene yashiro' for as long as possible- a part of her wants to turn this whole situation into some isekai, where she can be reborn and keep herself as she is. she'll accept a quiet life like that, really. but... )

... I've been getting told that a lot, lately. ... When souls are in the tree. What's happening to them, exactly? I know it's holding them until they come back, but...

[adsum]

[ It's kind of wild how every time Natsume opens his mouth he says something concerning. All that aside, though, the more pressing question right now is ]

Where is it?

[ IF she takes his hand, how long is she going to have to hold it ]

[adsum]

[ Hikaru going !!! at GOSSIP ]

Who is that?

[commences]

( NOT GOSSIP!! is hikaru a romantic... )

Okumura-kun, I haven't seen him in awhile, though... ( he's not really komaeda's key to his heart, really, komaeda doesn't think anything of him, and so he doesn't sound particularly excited to even talk about him. )

He was kind of boring... generic... but he had a key.

[adsum]

[ He's disappointed but not in—- ]

Like I'm being sent off to summer camp and expected to write weekly letters... I'll still have my PDA, you know. It's not the best for conversations, but at least I can prove I'm still alive.

[adsum]

[ Hikaru loves... friendship, yeah ]

Wait, never mind the key. You like him but think he's boring and generic? What do you like about him?

[adsum]

...Are you serious?

[ Like, if Komaeda is serious, then yes, okay,

but if he's not then haha good joke he already knew that in his heart ]

[crystallomancy]

( opens the locations page... why is the gaming club like a hundred years away. we arent going all the way up there )

3-A. It's the closest classroom without anything extra in IT, making it an ideal space for something with as much movement as virtual realiTY. ( ... ) Not that this one'll require that much moving aROUND, but I didn't think you'd be interested in accidentally trampling someone's flowERS.

( 3-E is actually the closest but that has the gardening club's stuff so. )

[commences]

No, this is about the key?

( hikaru, get it together, this is about the key??? )

...? I don't like him, I think he's ugly.

( ... )

Not worth my time.

[commences]

That is what it's like, they haven't seen you... in quite along time, so I'll message you when I'm with them, then.

( that's what it's all about, not asking about his day, or how he feels, just to learn that he's alive... that sounds sort of horrible in a way, but it is a good idea. what little nails he has left, he tries to dig them into the back of rokkun's shirt, clinging onto him. )

If you aren't drugged up, I could message you about the festival... It might be boring, and I can pass if you aren't interested...

[adsum]

[ You actually can have one without the other, but, he's not going to press it. ]

I guess... [ what does Rokkun know about getting along with any sort of people, though ]

If that's the case, you aren't allowed to leave until you've finished one whole skeleton by yourself. Grab a sheet of paper; we'll start with the skull.

[adsum]

No, it's not.

[ Komaeda, please, ]

That's so mean... Okay, never tell him any of that. Does he like you?

[commences]

W- Wait... do you not want to? I understand... that was pretty lame of me to say... ah...

( moving on he guesses, back to that subject because now he feels dumb suggesting it, it was a joke to cheer him up or something, but... maybe it was the wrong move!? well, rokkun did seem against eloping awhile ago... maybe that was the sign. )

...What happened between you and him?

[commences]

We were talking about a box that needs keys.

( please stop, komaeda going to say something mean. )

I hope not, he's ugly...

( ... )

I'm sure he knows he's ugly, that's why he distances himself from others.

( komaeda's ugly too, and that's why he says this so confidently. if you're ugly, you can tell who is ugly around you. )

[starrypoint]

I wasn't gonna leave until we finished all of 'em, but you got it, chief!

[yayayayy... skeleton time. he'll grab a sheet and



a pencil okay he wants to make sure he gets the skull right.]

The skull bone's connected to the ♪ neck bone, the neck bone's connected to the ♪ shoulder bone ♪

[that song... i only know bottom down tbh]

[adsum]

[ Hikaru stares off at the school like they're mentally apologizing to Okumura-kun in Komaeda's stead, this isn't the kind of gossip they were wanting to hear ]

Let's... not talk about him behind his back. What about somebody you do like?
