Akira knows.

Exposing them seemed like a good way to continue our work while I was on my own. In spirit, at least.

And find more interesting skills to draw.

[codeoracle]

Have I ever told you I hate when you make sense? Because I hate when you make sense.

It makes it harder to be annoyed.

[lempereur]

Chin up, Futaba! You will find a way.

[codeoracle]

Or you'll give me new reasons to be annoyed soon enough.

[lempereur]

I would never!

[codeoracle]

ehehe.

We'll see! ╮(︶▽︶)╭

text; tuesday 6/13

[lempereur]

[ Around 11 pm, a little more than a full day after their last...talk. ]

Common Grounds coffee shop. One hour.

[sleight_of_hand]

[ ...you have got to be kidding him. ]

You're asking me to break into a coffee shop for this? Am I the only one that sees everything wrong with that?

[lempereur]

You don't have to, it has already been taken care of.

And yes, you are.

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Oh you've got to be kidding him?! ]

(╬ Ò ‸ Ó)

[ There's a moment, before... ]

There's one more that needs to be added to this. He's Hanamura Yosuke, second on the Inaba crew. He just arrived, but he's from before they realize it was me.

I'm sending him the location.

[lempereur]

Nobody else needs to be added to this. The last time you brought a friend, it was a fiasco.

[sleight_of_hand]

He's not a friend.

His girlfriend was my second victim.

[lempereur]

How is that better?

You want to tell him that in a room full of strangers?

It is my job to make sure nobody gets hurt, but you, as always, seem hell-bent on hurting yourself.

Nobody cares about your sad, pathetic, guilt complex. If you wanted to feel worthy of being alive, you should have tried not killing anyone.

I'll be seeing you.

[sleight_of_hand]

He deserves to know.

He's going, or I'm not and you can deal with it.

[ Let him do the right fucking thing for once. ]

[lempereur]

Do what you want. You always do.

[khajidont]

I guess I'm not wondering about that so much as much as I'm wondering why they're not

[lempereur]

What about it do you not understand? It isn't that abstract.

[khajidont]

Let me put it this way

I've always been told that an artist's work is a reflection of them and how they're feeling, and if that's true, this doesn't look too happy

So I'm just checking up to make sure you don't need someone to talk to or whatever

[lempereur]

I have someone to talk to. He is staying here for a couple of days.

He won't make much noise, probably.

[khajidont]

[ Oh. Okay, then. ]

Oh. Sure.

Feel better soon?

[lempereur]

I hope so.

[Text - Late night]

[beautiful_monster]

[It's been days since the party; longer still since the coffee shop, and aside from running the occasional errand Yuri hasn't been showing his face much around Heropa since either of them, not even at the ice rink where he'd been a daily occurrence until everything came falling down around him. It's late the night before Fanport, some time after midnight, when a simple text comes in.]

you awake?

[lempereur]

I am.

[ Well...not really, but he is now. ]

How are you feeling? I've barely heard from you.

[beautiful_monster]

I've been busy

I'm okay [An obvious lie, but he can hope he won't be called on it.

just tired. I cant sleep

[lempereur]

Akira's Persona has a skill to put you to sleep. But it stings...

nevermind.

I could keep you company, if you want? Or just talk.
