I know.

[ The assurance doesn't make them not nervous, just less, which is stupid because it's daytime and Amami is here. ]

I'll choose one place and you choose the next and we can take turns. Where do you want to go after breakfast?

( Sounds like a personal problem, you ever try not being so bullyable?? )

Just the oppoSITE. She had a piece of herself taken from her and placed in a puzzle BOX. Some... things hapPENED, and it was broken instead of being SOLVED. She described to me what she remembered of the person who offered the chance to her beFORE, so I've been trying to find out who's been roleplaying God as a soul surgeon and taking apart things that don't belong to THEM, with permission or otherWISE.

( probably............

sighs his favorite little ghost girl. note to ori, he's gonna bring her fun little riddles for her to solve every couple of months. bonding. )

...I'll be betTER. ( maybe. He'll just put it out of mind for the moment and doubly try not to think that maybe he'd been a little rash in trading away his eyesight.

Well. Seeing Haruka so happy makes him think it was worthwhile, anyway; being able to speak with Kazuki whenever he'd like to, too. ) You shouldn't worry about people older than you anyway, alRIGHT? We adults can take care of ourSELVES.

[ It's not like he's never clicked on the red button before, but yeah, he'd still take this, as infuriating as it is, over going down there, so fourth floor it is. ]

I wasn't close enough to smell it, no. Are we here to watch Rantarou? I thought you were going to prove something to me?

( nah, he gets it. even if it only helps a little bit, that's enough for him, so they can head up the stairs because amami's like that. aversion to the red button, just like the tree. )

I guess I shouldn't steal the pool, huh. ( hmmm... )

Art room or library, then? We can pick up some things to draw with, or see if they have any movies or anything that we can grab.

( every school has a couple of those, right? pretty sure they've watched a few for that lit class. though, come to think of it— )

Maybe movies would be better for the end of the day though.

( winding down after their adventures, and all that. )

[ It's not a happy expression by any means, and they don't meet Subaru's eyes when he leans back to look at them, going from obvious discomfort to something a little sad when Subaru says worrying about them is love. ]

It's not unfair.

[ They let their eyes slide off from around Subaru, pulling back with their eyes still to the ground. ]

I agreed to the terms. And I'm a good shopkeeper; I can do this. And I'm not going anywhere until I reach the end of my contract. I don't really know how else to reassure you...

Are you unable to use context clues? It's the person that he's with.

( he sighs, sitting down in the corner because listen... he thought rokkun would be normal and walk in, now they're playing some sort of game. )

I wouldn't have agreed to come here if that's the case... ( you know, he forgot he had to give his hand for this, so maybe this is a little stressful for rokkun. he'll be okay. )

Acknowledge the younger party, and listen to the things that they say... maybe Amami-kun will... ah!

( opens pda, click click click.

@ r.amami
Everything you say is vital, and so are their responses. We're close by when you go to the rooftop! )

[ STOP ]

Refusal to speak is not an admission of guilt!

[ can't sleep if they're yelling!!! ]

You're blushing.

( whether they are or not, will they call komaeda's bluff. )

They require plenty of sunlight, and watering enough to keep the soil moist. If you are not sure how much to water the tree, you can set the pot within a shallow pan of water, and its roots will take what it needs.

[ If he bleeds in the water the tree will probably grow faster, Kazuki does not say because this is unofficial advice ]

[they really can't look at him...

it puts a little thorn in his heart, but maybe it'd be worse if they could. subaru breathes out when they pull away more, and reaches to take their hands. their arms, shoulders; he doesn't want them to distance themselves, physically or otherwise.]

I don't want to be reassured. I want to know even if it sucks, even if it'll make me mad -- I grilled Natsume so hard for the same reason. But I don't want to hurt you either though, or make you feel think like I don't believe you, so I... [...

huh.] Where are you going after you reach the end of your contract?

( noooo it's cute... strap it to one of his belt loops, yes... he'll wear it everywhere always. for now, he'll tilt his head a little. )

You don't need to go pick anything up?

( guess they should have some wire leftover from liz's gift, maybe. he's not too sure about the leather — but he doesn't want them to head out after dark or anything either. )

[ Maybe if everybody were nice, like the cultists, there wouldn't be such a bullying problem in this school ]

...What did she remember of that person?

[memo memo... subaru will remember this, for some reason.]

Can he feed it blood to make it grow faster? Like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors. "Feed me, Seymour!!!" and stuff.

[thank GOD subaru likes old movies he can make this ref]

[ Can they? ]

I know. But it still feels nice when other people take care of you, right? That's how you know they care.

...

( ???

this thing had better give that good luck that was promised on regain for real if he's feeding it his blood, tf... )

Blood is a good source of nitrogen for plants, but you should take care not to overdo it. Mix it in the soil, rather than pour it directly over the plant, or the acidity may end up doing more harm than good.

[ looks at last month, looks at this month, where is the good luck ]

The library!

[ books!! never mind taking turns, they're going to make all the decisions ]

As long as you return the movies before night time, you should be fine!

[ Anything from the library is fair game; Haruka will take his fingernails, don't think she won't. ]

[looks at amami.

blood for the blood plant. next month is sure to be good if you feed it your body kool-aid.]

Man, I kinda wanna take care of a plant too...

[..... would it be rude to ask the gardener for something if they've only just met..... he's debating...... where would he put it...... someplace natsume wouldn't be able to judge him..........]

[ The person he's with is not three, so it's hard to imagine his brother being grown up. Grown up and chatting happily with Amami. Makes his blood boil. He wonders if there's enough time to go back down to the ground floor to buy some coffee before heading back up.

...

... ]

...He looks happy.

[ And Rokkun should be happy about that, in turn. ]

Library it is. I'll return them on my way back to the dorms.

( so cute, wtf... he doesn't need to make any decisions here, this is kamo-kun's city now.

his pda beeps, but unfortunately both his hands are occupied, so that'll have to wait for them to finish setting up on the roof. )

( sighs... the good luck, that can be the 10/02 thread. that's pretty good luck, so let's go.

for the time being, amami will look kind of sheepish about all this, because feeding blood to the blood plant wasn't in his plans, really, and he's still not sure if he trusts kazuki that much. might help that subaru's the one who suggested it though. )

Right. I'll keep that in mind then.

( and, looking to subaru... )

You're good with them?

( seemed more like a dog person to amami — high energy and all that. )

( so... he does come back with the apple juice, just like he said he would. it takes him a little while though — looking after rika and saihara's bodies, making sure they get somewhere safe before classes begin, and spending the remainder of the time switching out the uniform that's likely got some blood on the sleeves in the process. then, he braces himself. gathers up the pieces of himself that have fallen apart and, while he can't necessarily put them back together, he can lift the rug and sweeping them neatly underneath to be dealt with some other time. hiding them somewhere that they, hopefully, shouldn't harm anyone but himself.

in any case, the point is that he's (kind of) pulled himself together by the time he comes back to the student store later in the morning, maybe early in the afternoon. a short trip to the vending machine first, and he'll hold up the apple juice as he makes his way inside. classes are in session, but there's more important things to worry about, right? right. )

Sorry I took so long. Hope you're still thirsty.

( he tries to keep his voice light, but the lax expression he tries to keep isn't really so lax — forced, because even if he can't bring himself to smile at a time like this, he doesn't want to open with the worst of things. )

Nope! I can't afford to buy specific things for specific projects individually, so buying things in bulk saves a lot of time and money! It's economical!

[ Supposedly they do go out and buy things, to take back to their store-turned-workshop to play with and see what they can create. ]

[ they're not!! or if they are, Komaeda can't tell because their back is to him and they're going to elbow him in the gut ]
