[ well, that's quite the mental update. while ishmael isn't reeling from the download's sappy effects, she is in the mood to yap and gossip -- which is typically unlike her at all. and so, while they're all still waiting for the download to finish, she's got this to ask on their shared network. ]

Looks like this is going to take a while. And I know that most of us here were haunted by certain dreams a while back, me included. It's something I've already gone through back home so I'm not too bothered with it now, but I'm going to go ahead and ask anyway.

What are some of your happier memories?

That's probably easier said than done, though. You don't even have to think too far back and just share whatever made you happy since coming here. It's corny, sure, but we could definitely need some cheering up after all that on top of this horribly hot weather.

Of course, if you're too shy to share them to everyone in the class, I get it. I know I am. You can just tell me privately if you trust me that much, or you don't have to say anything at all and just read or react to everyone's contributions instead. Also if anyone's gonna come here to say shit like "Oh I'm not gonna share anything :/" then do us all a favor and not waste our time. Thanks. 👍

[ ish is too embarrassed to share hers right now, if anyone's wondering 🧍‍♂️ of course, feel free to threadjack if needed. happy yapping!! ]

_{[ sucker. ]}

thanks for booking services with me yet again, choso-kun

_{[ he's not an honorifics guy, but he feels like Choso deserves it this time. So.. he takes the money and??? Leaves him hanging?? ]}

[gimu]

[ he waits, is the worst part. he waits for an acceptable bunch of minutes before he nods to himself, a gentle annoyance bubbling up like percolated coffee. ]

yes. services.

you have one minute before i tell fushiguro megumi that my kryptos were snatched.

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

i don’t care

but maybe ill with hold some juicy details from you if you do that

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

[ kono yarou motherfucker. ]

your customer service skills need work.

i am ready.

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

alright, here it is

im off the market, choso
im dating someone else and i committed myself to her

_{[ wouldn’t he have to have this conversation with Choso anyway? ]}

our little meet ups are cancelled
but if you still want to fight me, ill always do that

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

[ he hears Marcille as the text scrolls, her voice as crisp in memory as it had been that fine, marinated night. (When someone's in a committed relationship, you assume they're not open to dating anyone else!)

'cancelled'. ]

oh.

[ You shouldn't try to steal them away. ]

what does that entail? 'our little meet ups'?

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

fucking.

we can’t fuck anymore

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

that's ok.
is that all?

am i still able to come over?

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ ??? ]}

why would you want to do that if we aren’t fucking?

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

[ ??? ]

i enjoy being around you?

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ ????????????? ]}

thats

_{[ not what he expected? confusing? not how this works? All these things he should have said, but this comes out instead: ]}

nice

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

still doesn’t answer my question

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ UGH.. ]}

yeah that’s fine
you can come over
i guess
not like i care what you do

_{[ He isn’t.. used to people enjoying being around him. ]}

no more kissing
no more hand holding

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

[ a relief rushes through him, strange and small and cold. ]

ok.

who is it? this person you are dating?

[ that goddamn word again. ]

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

yor briar

someone too good for me

_{[ damn… something he typically wouldn’t say aloud but he and Choso have some history so he feels comfortable enough to. ]}

PRIVATE; 1/2

[gimu]

oh, yor.

[ a puzzle piece clicks into place. Toji’s smile, the warmth in his eyes that night at the casino, that distant cast to his eyes that was pointed at choso but looked at someone else. Yor’s drunken babbles, the way she spoke that name. ]

PRIVATE; 2/3 nvm

[gimu]

if you fuck it up with her i will have to kill you.

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

but congratulations. she is a wonderful person. i am happy for you.

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

i fuck it up with her
i'd gladly let you kill me

but thanks

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

you truly love her, don't you?

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ stop.. embarrassing.. ]}

don’t sound disappointed

_{[ not answering.. because he knows it’s embarrassing to be like “yeah I do” when they just got together, but also, Toji is that person that falls fast when it’s the right person. ]}

our relationship is much different than what you and i were doing

PRIVATE; 1/2

[gimu]

i can't sound like anything in this format.

PRIVATE;

[gimu]

what we were doing was purely carnal and indulgent. i understand.

yor briar is deserving of much more than just your absurd body and you recognize this. you are giving all of yourself to her in a show of devotion. this is most admirable, toji. truly, congratulations.

PRIVATE;

[assassinsgreed]

that’s exactly right
and don’t you forget it
