hi fai! how have you been doing? getting used to playing the game yet? ive been grinding my levels a lot lately until i hit the cap i hope to see you there someday! i also have a question i wanted to ask! did you ever tap on the table with your hand to make music? my friends used to do that during lunch and they were even beatboxing together did you ever do stuff like that in school?
[After her solo dungeon run, there are a number of things Miharu could and should do. She should make sure she has lunch prepared and packed for the next day. Clean up before bed. See if her mother is still breathing. She's instead ended up sitting by the Mac Anu canals, looking at (but not really looking at the water. She's not actually doing anything in-game, but when she checks, she's surprised to see mail contacts recently active.]
Hey - class must already be out where you are? Color me surprised you're around so early.
[How strange... Then again, she's been online for a while. It must be getting really late, presuming he's on the other side of the world the way she suspects.]
How'd someone with so much going on already get lured into playing a game like this one?
[ It's one of his more open days, and he found himself logging in the moment he got home and fed his cat. Odd, for someone who isn't much of a gamer. ]
People in your life can inspire you to do different things. I just happened to be inspired to play a game. :)
What about you? You have a job, right? Or did you already like games?
[He saves this for the day after Hector's party because everyone was getting shitfaced and Barrett was NOT about to touch all that with a ten foot pole.]
[ Part of him thinks he should deny it and lie, but... Barrett is just too nice, and lying is clearly not the best path forward here, with the way that keeping track of everything with Oria is nearly impossible.
So, he decides to be honest. Even if it takes him a few minutes to come to terms with this and respond. ]
[The embarrassment of their previous exchange makes Miharu hesitate before reaching out again. She needs some time to wallow in that embarrassment, unsure if she's really ready to forgive herself for letting it get the better of her. But keeping him from going through the same thing is at least a small repayment of the favor.]
[ Oh. He had figured that Miharu was ready to run away and never speak to him again after their last conversation, so seeing an email from her pop up in his inbox again is a pleasant surprise. ]
There was an incident at the Fine Wine @ home, bunch of bottles got smashed. It's all clean now but I owe you some new ones. Don't know how that works but I'll figure it out. Sorry about all that.
[Through his tutoring email that has been shared with Barrett, Yuui will receive a message from one Lucas Blake, blunt in its professionalism.
All in-person tutoring services are to be canceled for Barrett Blake, by direct request, effective immediately. He requests any information for similar services through Sacramento to be passed along at his earliest convenience.
Billing information is attached to send all invoices for all services incurred to Lucas Blake for record and review.
With a long, long sigh, Yuui decides against replying. It might be better to contact his brother anyway, because he has a feeling that he won't be getting anything out of this interaction, not when it's just billing information.
...
He just hopes that this doesn't lead to Barrett dropping out of school completely. ]
[ The past week has been a Lot for Oria to take in, and now that he's finally allowed himself to process things since the meeting, he shoots Fai a message. ]
hey sorry that this is a late message do you wanna talk in person or do you want to do it by inboxes im good with either choice
[This also does not have to turn into like, a whole-ass thread, I know you said you were feeling the rat race a little bit. But it always can, if he has things to say to her.]
Yuui, is anyone checking in on you?
[It's been a little bit since they spoke. She thinks. Time has been slipping a lot, and she's forgone sleep at least once in her efforts to catch up with everyone in level and skill. Even if he hadn't been acting terribly strangely the last time they met, she still... manages to convince herself to reach out.]
But they're both the kind of people no one often thinks to check on.]
Something's wrong with 0koto. I think Cubia got to him.
I don't know if Cubia still can keep track of what I do, so I'm only telling a couple people. You, Swallow, and Faunus. Could you pass this along to who needs to know?
Don't get near him right now. Please. I don't want him to run off like the rest of us did.
[[OOC note: Matoba player has requested not to go running after him at this time, but feel free to have this passed along.]]
Yuui, I'm going to be brief. Sorry for writing and not seeing you in person.
Yael was close with KarBear, right? I remember from the cathedral. I didn't see what happened, but she didn't survive the encounter with Skeith. He also took the Head Administrator's life.
I'm sure people will come to tell both of you soon or it'll be blasted out somewhere. I thought if you knew beforehand... [It wouldn't make a difference.] It would help you support each other.

I’m learning still! But I’m going to a lot of dungeons, so be ready for me to catch up to you. :3c
I was never the sort of kid to tap on desks or tables like that. I’ve never been good at music.

@Mr_Misteaks
We just got handed out our team tickets for our starter game this season. It's next Saturday.
I've got two left over since one of my brothers can't make it. So I wanted to see if you want to go while we're playing in Berkeley.

probably backdated a day or two before the boss battle because of MY SANITY
Yuui, is anyone checking in on you?
[It's been a little bit since they spoke. She thinks. Time has been slipping a lot, and she's forgone sleep at least once in her efforts to catch up with everyone in level and skill. Even if he hadn't been acting terribly strangely the last time they met, she still... manages to convince herself to reach out.]
But they're both the kind of people no one often thinks to check on.]
hehehe
They're both great at pretending they're just fine, aren't they? That's why no one thinks to ask, or to even look behind the front they put up.
But a lot has happened in the last couple of weeks, leaving Fai reeling, even if his memories are a whole mess that he can't really sort out. ]
A couple people have over the last few weeks.
I have my boyfriend too.
[ That he thought was dead for a while. But you know... details. ]

would you know a good place to put a memorial?
i'm in the process of making a gravestone (the sexton wouldn't let me put it in the graveyard and there isn't one there...)
no subject
For a guy like him? Probably the camping ground. He likes the outdoors.
[ Present tense, because: ]
You're very kind, Faunus. He didn't have a gravestone because he came back to me, fully alive, a day or so ago.
But I think we should have a site set up for him anyway, just to make him feel bad. :)

after the skeith battle
Yael was close with KarBear, right? I remember from the cathedral. I didn't see what happened, but she didn't survive the encounter with Skeith. He also took the Head Administrator's life.
I'm sure people will come to tell both of you soon or it'll be blasted out somewhere. I thought if you knew beforehand... [It wouldn't make a difference.] It would help you support each other.
I'm sorry. [But what does that do, either?]
no subject
Thanks, Miharu.
Yael was quite a bit closer to her than I was, so I told him the moment I read your message. With time, I think he'll be fine.
[ But ah... all he told Fai before going completely silent was that he promised to walk Kara down the aisle. It won't be easy. ]
I'm sorry too.
