Suzuki? Are you okay? Fake Frost's still with me so I think I'll be fine. There's no reception so I don't even know if you'll get this.
--
Don't die or something.
--
The mines really smell. I hope you ended up someplace nicer. I only know two people here and I don't like one of them.
--
Some huge monster's probably here. I'm suddenly glad you're not around you would want to tame it probably.
--
Despite better judgment I'm going after it too. Got bored.
--
Okay my battery's dying and I don't know why I'm still composing these when you'd reply in like 10 seconds like some kind of psychic if you could? Anyway I'm not dead but two big ratmen are. The most gigantic guy got away. Fake Frost is really useful; and he's still singing.
--
Hope you're alright Suzuki.

[ as soon as he gets a connection again-- ]

RITSU ARE YOU STILL ALIVE Is fake frost still alive Can't you melt his mouth off or something Tell me you found and rode the monster or I'll be disappointed in you or your ghost

He's gone now. Monsters too.
I'd say it's good to be home but I don't really know anymore

Suzuki you'd probably know this right
can you find me a place where I can break things. Without being excessively illegal.

And can I explain later.

[ ... that's a little concerning, or maybe a lot.

but he supposes he can ask questions later, after all. ]

It's more fun if it's illegal, Ritsu
But sure I know quite a few places
I'll meet you somewhere, anywhere

Take care of yourself and hang in there.

As long as it doesn't weigh too much on my conscience. Let me know if I need to bring my own weapon or something.

It'll be good to see you again.
I'm glad you're ok.

I'm glad you are too You can bring whatever you'd like or I can provide Tell me about it when you feel like it all right? And let me know where you are.

I'll do my best.
But I don't know if you really want to hear it.

It's really bad Suzuki.

You're going to be okay, Ritsu.
Hang in there. I'll be with you if you need me. [ or even if he doesn't. ]

[ TEXTS KEPT SENDING TO THE WRONG PEOPLE so you know what never mind let's just have this on call. --Even now, Ritsu's squinting, anticipating Retrospec's going to somehow screw him over.

Pick up, pick up...
Oh! The dial noise stopped. ]

Um... Suzuki? You there?

Edited 2017-09-05 04:58 (UTC)

[ the number is familiar, but the fact that it's a call makes him pick up asap. RITSU. RITSU'S CALLING HIM--okay, he can do this, he can be chill. it's just a call from his bff, that's all. ]

Ritsu, heey! What's up?

O-oh it sent to the right person. Thank goodness. [ A sigh of relief. But overall HE STILL SOUNDS SO UNSURE maybe this was a bad idea. ]

So... this is a bit weird, but I told someone I'd be okay with going to a party if you were there?

[ A small cough. ] No pressure or anything. It's just. I don't really like hanging around too many people. But I'd feel better not going alone or else I'd probably just not leave the house.

[ "going with you" being the implied message but he gotta be pseudomysterious :I ]

[ he almost gasps--well, okay, he does. ] Ritsu, you want to go to a party?

Without me? [ yes, he knows that the point of the call is to ask him, but on the nonexistant off-chance it wasn't-- ] How could you. I thought we were friends.

As punishment, I'm coming along with you. And we're gonna party. And have fun. And you're going to enjoy yourself. [ ... well, he knows it's been pretty heavy for ritsu the past few days, so--the trying to have fun and cheer ritsu up part is genuine, at least, under this surface layer of jackassery. ]

What's the party for?

[ RITSU DEFENSIVE STRESS LEVEL 60% ]

T-that's not punishment I was going to ask you to begin with! Jeez, you. [ Frustrated "aaaargh" noises that are poorly muffled by pacing around the room, but quickly raising it back to his ear when he hears Shou talk again.

He's really missed him. Getting teased to hell and back and all. ]

I don't know, it was supposed to be a lighthearted "morale booster" but. I haven't willingly gone to any parties since I was 9 or so. It's an open Retrospec invitation so most of the people are probably going to be older than us.

[ RITSU SURE SOUNDS STRESSED which is why he's gotta be there obviously to provide moral support, or more stress. both, at the same time. how cute, getting stressed over a party of all things when parties are meant to be fun, you know?? ]

Ritsu, you haven't been to a party since you were nine?

You need to live! [ --nevermind that shou probably hasn't either, since. criminal son's life. but come on he at least knows what a normal life is supposed to be. ] That's it, we're going for sure. And you're going to enjoy yourself or face the consequences.

It doesn't matter what age everyone else there is. You're probably up there right with them in terms of maturity.

... Like, old-man levels of maturity. That's a compliment, swear. [ or is it. ]

Edited 2017-09-08 23:09 (UTC)

Liar.

[ Not even missing a beat. But well, Shou didn't say he'd be a disaster. Appreciate the little things. ]

If I'm going to "live", be with me, okay. [ just guys being dudes ] ... I don't even want to think about what consequences you'd come up with.

[ SILENCE not sure how to word this weird. nvm we're wording this weird ]

Let's both have. Um. Fun.

[ Sources of joy should not be a foreign dialect ]

Of course I'll be with you. There's no other alternative. [ you're stuck with him, thanks. ]

... Ritsu, I can't believe you kinda struggled with saying that. [ THIS SAYS SO MUCH ABOUT HIM namely that more fun needs to be introduced into his life asap. learning to live, at age 14. ] C'mon. It's a party. Maybe the punch will be spiked. Maybe we can dance.

[ bromantically. ]

[ bruh ]

No dancing.

[ HE'S VERY HASTY ABOUT THAT REPLY TOO ]

... Not for me anyway. You can go ahead.

Ritsu, it's a party.

You gotta dance. It's the rules. Otherwise the no fun police will show up and arrest you.

... You're making that up. People don't invite police to parties unless it's a party specifically for the police.

[ WHY DOES HE SOUND SO SERIOUS ALL THE TIME ]

How do you know, Ritsu? You've barely been to parties. [ ha, checkmate!! ] What if I'm an undercover party cop in disguise? I'm gonna have to lock you up if you don't dance!

At least if I'm locked up you can't force me to dance.

[ Unless that's his punishment too?! ]

Dancing is gonna happen one way or another. Whether you're at the party or party jail.

There's no escape, Ritsu!

I'm going to be a terrible dance partner you don't want to subject yourself to that.
