Mamoru Chiba has posed:
Really distressing things just happened all separately, and afterwards, the Shitennou all get copies of a group text from Hematite.

    TXT: hi guys im ok but im going to be hiding out in probably a hotel room ig
    TXT: i might be a couple days unless theres an emergency bigger than my head

Zoisite has posed:
    TXT: You should never try to deal with an emergency bigger than your head. Do you need back-up or a cover story?

Nephrite has posed:
    TXT: We will all need to have a talk very soon.
    TXT: There have been events that I'm not comfortable discussing here, but that are important for us all to be on the same page regarding.

Jadeite has posed:
    TXT: My face is bleeding, fuck off with this shit.
    TXT: I think your sister did this, Hematite.
    TXT: I was going to speak with her at her dorm room and then I got seventeen solid slugs of shotgun ammo shot into my brain.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    TXT: no im with py at her shrine. we had a fight and are both kinda ok now
    TXT: she cant have done it dude
    TXT: she literally got torn to shreds and put back together
    TXT: i remembered a bunch
    TXT: but yeah neph i just dont want you guys to see my fase lol

Zoisite has posed:
    TXT: I certainly hope you cleaned up after yourself, Jadeite. It would be quite the uncomfortable situation if police came knocking at Obsidian Tower because they found your DNA all over the little girls' dorm.
    TXT: Either way, it sounds like it's your fault.
    TXT: So, Hematite, will she be compliant now?

Nephrite has posed:
    TXT: You counted the slugs in your brain, Jadeite?
    TXT: Well, let us know how that goes. I'll have some people coming over to give me an estimate on the house repairs tomorrow. I could get youma to do it, but who would trust them to build a house?
    TXT: Not me, good sir. Not me.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    TXT: yeah zoi. shes also not hoping to kill me anymore woooo
    TXT: but yeah we should talk somewhere safe like neph said
    TXT: jade-o are you gonna be ok?
    TXT: btw neph she didnt steal the data or fuck up ur house

Jadeite has posed:
    TXT: Eat shit and die, Zoisite.
    TXT: It was some kind of psychic backlash, Nephrite. Right as I was about to knock on her door.
    TXT: Maybe she left a trap behind before she went with you, Hema. It's stopped bleeding now, but my regeneration was doing nothing for a while.
    TXT: Just don't draw unnecessary attention.
    TXT: also, what's wrong with your face that we haven't already seen?
    TXT: Did she do something to it? Did she try to carve it off and wear it as a mask?
    TXT: What?
    TXT: These vague messages are not going to help my blood pressure, you know.

Zoisite has posed:
    TXT: If she cut off your face, I cannot promise I won't try to destroy her.
    TXT: Your face is one of your few redeeming features as a leader.
    TXT: Please tell me you still have arms at least, so that you can embrace me while you console me over the loss of your face.
    TXT: Also, what in the Hells happened to Nephrite's house now?

Nephrite has posed:
    TXT: Intruder who wouldn't hold still. Grabbed a copy of the project from my laptop with a Dark Energy construct.
    TXT: Stay safe. Keep us updated.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    TXT: it might be my fault actually j
    TXT: i mean what happened hurt a lot and it was all psychic
    TXT: and like. im psychic. and can always find you
    TXT: my face is just embarrassingly puffy
    TXT: neph: will do
    TXT: i love you guys

Jadeite has posed:
    TXT: Yeah, yeah, we'll talk about this and that and the other thing later, Hema. If anyone asks, you're on a camping trip with your sister now that summer vacation is coming to an end.
    TXT: I will be AFK, I need to go clean up a blood spill before someone notices it.

Zoisite has posed:
    TXT: I was trying to come up with some sort of pun involving Hematite having an accident, in relation to the blood spill, due to him saying it was his fault, and what his name means, but I can't be assed.
    TXT: My head is killing me, and I'm out of things to drink, and I can't mooch off of Nephrite until he gets his house fixed.
    TXT: Get it done quickly, alright?
    TXT: I think we all have some psychic nonsense to sort out before we see each other.
    *Ellipses of typing*
    TXT: Wait, what do you mean she doesn't want to kill you anymore?
    TXT: WHEN DID SHE WANT TO KILL YOU?
    TXT: OH MY GOD.
    TXT: I WAS RIGHT WASN'T I?
    TXT: I TOLD YOU. I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO.
    TXT: You handsome idiot, listen to me next time, I'm always right.
    TXT: And don't die or I'll kill you, and then her.

Nephrite has posed:
    TXT: I love you too, man.
    TXT: Also, yes, we told you.
    TXT: We all told you.
    TXT: This is literally our job to make sure you know about stuff you're blind to.
    TXT: Don't adopt any more death curses, or I swear in front of the Gods and Metallia and the entire board of directors that you will be spending time in a basement cell for a while.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    TXT: omg shes over it now
    TXT: and anyway isnt it my job to give you all heart attacks??
    TXT: i like basements :3
    TXT: ok ok ok lol fine fine
    TXT: no more death curses
    TXT: i promise i dont want to die

Jadeite has posed:
    *Returns from AFK*
    TXT: I hate every last one of you and I can't stand to look at you even if you did show up. Good day.
    TXT: Also, I'll see you all at the barbeque when we're all back in town. Have fun.
