[tablescraps]

If you think it's notable.

[tinged]

[ mmmmmm. ]

Maybe a little notable. I don’t know him very well, but he’s unrelentingly himself. Unrepentantly so. I like that about him.

[tablescraps]

I guess so. I don't know much about him. Just that he seems to like it when people get angry at him.

Is that what you like about Tylor, too? That he's "unrelentingly himself"?

[tinged]

That does seem to be the case. It's nice that he doesn't leave anyone out of it.

And you.

[ though they've said it before. ]

[tablescraps]

I don't feel like much of anything, never mind myself. But I don't mind that you feel that about me.

How did you and Tylor meet?

[tinged]

Thank you, I will probably continue to feel that. And maybe more! We'll see, we'll see.

I'll tell you that story in person w

[tablescraps]

( "and maybe more"...? hani can feel mithrun's "?" across the internet )

Okay. I'll wait.

( On both counts. )

[tinged]

I appreciate your patience.

[ there’s one last heart to end the e-mail chain.

but then they decide to come back and add: ]

Wait!

[tablescraps]

I am.

[tinged]

[ cute but also: ]

No, I just realized I could tell you in person... outside of the game! Where do you live? Let's meet up.

[tablescraps]

( ? )

Malibu, California. I don't know if it's not too far, though.

[tinged]

[ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Really???? Wow! You're so close! Kara and I live in the Santa Monica area.

[tablescraps]

( :0 )

I see. I don't do anything most days, so we can meet whenever you want.

[tinged]

I’ll come over tonight! [ but ] Oh. I can’t if we’re running that dungeon. And there’s the event this weekend. How about a date on Monday?

[tablescraps]

Okay.

( Rereads that... a date? Huh.

He's about to give his carer a heart attack by telling him he's got a date out of the blue. )

Did you want to come to my apartment? Or go somewhere?

[tinged]

Let's do both. I’ll pick you up and we can have some fun outside. Then go back to your place and have more fun inside!

Do you mind Persian ice cream?

[tablescraps]

I don't mind. I haven't had it in a long time.

Do you have a number? I can send you my address.

[tinged]

[ insert phone number here!! ]

And potato balls?

[tablescraps]

( A few moments later, he get a text that reads Hello. and then a second text with Mithrun's address. No other flair anything, just the address. )

I don't think I've had potato balls before.

[tinged]

[ they immediately text back with a request for a profile picture.

as for the contact list… mithrun-kun, morgan-kun is a little long. the text headers will probably condense it with an ellipsis, which would be a crime against his cuteness. after a moment’s thought, hani decides on ミス君、モル君 for now. ]

We will have all the balls then!

[tablescraps]

( A few minutes pass, and they get back a picture. It's not very well taken, but it's serviceable.

And then: Do you want me to add a picture to your entry in my contacts? And, what name should I list you under? )

All right. Whatever you'd like.

[tinged]

[ hani sends back stars and a picture! and then a couple more. because why not!

I still haven't found a name, so you can keep calling me, "Hani." Or leave it blank wwwwwww ]

Is "whatever you'd like" the same as "anything you like"?

inbox→ text

[tablescraps]

( He looks at all the pictures contemplatively. He'll use photo of Hani looking into the water's surface as Hani's profile image, then leave the name field blank. Congrats on being the only contact with a profile image on his current phone.

Then, his next reply comes as a text instead: )

Yes. At least, those two things ("whatever you'd like," "anything you like") are the same to me. Are they different to you?

[tinged]

[ woohoo! ]

No, not really. I just wanted to make sure we were also on the same page, since I’m going to make a list of everything I would like.

[tablescraps]

Okay. We can do them. You can stay over if you want, too.

( His schedule is pretty open, so they're not really bound by time here. )
