[oh

he leans into the pat automatically because he's an idiot]

I'm just saying.... [one of them (haiji voice) likes running and it's not really takeru]

What're you doing anyway?

[dotcom]

We're just looking at all the rooms beforehand. You know how she is.

[ he drops his hand ]

[sengokus]

Fair enough.

[he nods along with that]

I'll catch you before so you have the scalpel on hand but I think Harrow-san keeps some of her own anyway. [which just overall makes him less worried about the both of them] Just text me wherever you end up.

[dotcom]

Mm.

[ he pulls out his phone to send a few texts, frowning. ]

I got the same response as you did for Despair. So, it looks like it's varying between refusing to send and the other message. But Harrowhark and I got two different ones for the same person.

[sengokus]

[his brow furrows at that]

Different ones.... Maybe it's just a weird glitch then? It sounds inconsistent.

[dotcom]

Maybe...

[ still. it's concerning. ]

Is Mollymauk going to be with you guys?

[sengokus]

No. Apparently the two of them are being good about staying separated, so I'm supposed to watch over White to keep that up.

[because white still has a crush on mineo while dating molly, and molly thinks that mineo is the one with the crush while mineo is mostly just trying to vibe and keep takeru from wholeass going to the dark side

the fUCKING

LAYERS TO THE GAY DRAMA HERE]

[dotcom]

Ah. Well, perhaps having Grace there will make it less awkward.

[ well

not for grace. it'll be very awkward for her. ]

[sengokus]

[he snorts faintly at that

shaking his head]

No, we'll probably be okay. It's twisted this week, but White and I don't have a weird relationship or anything. I don't think anyone even knows anything's different....

[just takeru and (redacted) who is the only other person mineo's told]

I wouldn't make Grace-san sit through anything awkward or complicated. So we'll be fine. Trial might get annoying, but I'll try not to make anything worse.

[in terms of inspiring jealousy..... plEASE LET HIM JUST VIBE]

1/2

[dotcom]

... well, if you're sure. I'll be staying out of it.

[ he gets another text and pulls his phone out to read. ]

[dotcom]

[ and just fucking drops it to cover his face in his hands ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . he's going to hate this and he can feel it

but he will go to reach for takeru's phone and hold it back out to him]

What now...

[dotcom]

Fucking Santa Claus.

[ he'll take the phone and will just go back to walking. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . right. mineo will follow after and then after a little stretch of silence]

Um.

I figured that out by the way.

It's harmless....

[dotcom]

[ he just shows mineo the texts. ]

. . . Something very odd happened when I was texting Molly. I know this may not be the time, but when I saw it, I became very alarmed. I hadn't ever noticed this before, and I fear that its appearance now bodes very ill. I can only hope to be wrong.

I'm not sure whether we should be talking about this over text. Is it secure?

The following has appeared among the list of pictograms on my phone:

🎅🏻

[ he's so tired. ]

Who did this?

[sengokus]

[this is

so funny hold on

he's absolutely just going to fucking rest his forehead on takeru's shoulder because he's losing his fucking mind]

H-Holy fuck, noooooooo, Harrow-saaaaannnn.

[dotcom]

Who did this.

[ but he allows the shoulder. ]

[sengokus]

[he's still laughing but to his credit he looks a little guilty about it when he straightens up wiping at the corner of his eye]

Ugh. White. He already feels like shit about it since it's just a prank gone wrong, so I figure we can let them work it out. I scolded him a little, but I'll beat him up for you next week if you're extra mad.

[dotcom]

[ he sighs. ]

As long as it's just that, but she's going to be so pissed later.

[sengokus]

Yup, and he's pretty prepared for that. He really didn't mean for it to get this bad.

[phew okay he's done laughing]

It's the power he got after the second group disappeared on Thursday, by the way. Making an illusion that'll distract someone... but he didn't get an answer about how long it'd last. He thought it'd be a few minutes max.

[dotcom]

Hopefully it's only twenty-four hours, since she was hit with it after you threw a snake at me.

[sengokus]

[







back to looking guilty]

Sorry.... It didn't bite you right? I wasn't really watching where I was throwing them to. There were so many snakes, Takeru.

[dotcom]

No. Which you're lucky for.

[ also

we can probably say they are passing near the simulations room for if we want to just flash forward this thread til after (gestures at mingle) ]

[sengokus]

[well

picking this up immediately after the greed thread because of course mineo is following after but he won't actually try to stop takeru from wherever he's going]

[dotcom]

[ well, for now, he doesn't really have a clear location other than Away From Crowd.

eventually, he'll slow to a stop to lean against a wall. ]

Goddammit...
