Aoi TXT: everyone like this might be the SECOND WORST DAY OF MY LIFE
Aoi TXT: first place still obviously goes to "getting erased from existence by the 'Unfinished Girl'.
Aoi TXT: suspect it will be hard to beat that one or at least I hope so
Aoi: but today is REALLY trying for it like whoa
Aoi TXT: so first the vending machine outside the station eats my yen.
Amy TXT: Like with teeth or...?
Aoi TXT: no drink
Aoi TXT: no money back
Aoi TXT: just beep beep
Amy TXT: Oh OK so just normal then. Sucks though :(
Aoi TXT: pretty sure it's laughing at me
Amy TXT: OK wait
Aoi TXT: so I'm like fine whatever I'll just go over to the konbini
Amy TXT: Oh OK so not literally
Aoi TXT: AND THE AUTOMATIC DOOR DOESN'T OPEN
Aoi TXT: I walk STRAIGHT into the glass complete with audible thunk
Aoi TXT: in front of like five people ;_;
Aoi TXT: heard someone start snickering and like I can't really blame them?
Aoi TXT: then when I get inside the cashier gives me this weird look
Aoi TXT: and asks "aren't you the girl from earlier"
Aoi TXT: I say no obviously not
Aoi TXT: and he goes "we had a shoplifter earlier" and starts giving me the real stink eye
Amy TXT: WTF?!
Aoi TXT: I'm like ??? hello??? I just got here???
Aoi TXT: so now I'm embarrassed AND annoyed so I leave STILL NO DRINK
Aoi TXT: and right when I step off the curb this car zooms past
Aoi TXT: almost hits me
Aoi TXT: AND you know its been raining lately so it splashes the puddle that was there all over me
Amy TXT: Oh NO
Aoi TXT: my phone was in my hand and I, well, you know, dropped it in the puddle
Aoi TXT: as its a cheapy phone, phone was now VERY DEAD.
Aoi TXT: like dead dead
Aoi TXT: black screen
Aoi TXT: rice cannot save this. nothing can.
Amy TXT: Oh *NO!* ...Wait how are you texting us I guess I should let you finish
Aoi TXT: so I say, okay, I'll get on a bus to go to the mall to replace it
Aoi TXT: THE BUS BREAKS DOWN AFTER TWO STOPS
Aoi TXT: TWO
Aoi TXT: the driver just sighs and tells everyone to get off and we can wait for the next, they'll pick us up.
Aoi TXT: I get off and figure I can walk the rest of the way
Aoi TXT: A block later A FLOWER POT FALLS FROM A BALCONY
Aoi TXT: like right next to me shatters
Amy TXT: Damn it's like your an anime character or something :(
Aoi TXT: if I was two steps over I would literally would be picking my isekai powers right now
Amy TXT: *not that kind of anime!!!
Aoi TXT: Anyway I finally get to the mall
Aoi TXT: the shop is on the second floor so I hop on the escalator
Aoi TXT: it stops halfway up
Aoi TXT: everyone just standing there looking around for a sec so we start to walk up
Aoi TXT: but then it starts moving again
Aoi TXT: THE WRONG WAY
Amy TXT: *what*
Aoi TXT: so I just scrabble the rest of the way up looking like a depressed goblin
Aoi TXT: anyway I finally get to the store. they examine the phone. yep, its deader than emi's social life so they swap it out for a new one.
Aoi TXT: I'm sitting in the food court now
Aoi TXT: eating fries because I deserve fries.
Aoi TXT: trying to recover from the SECOND WORST DAY OF MY LIFE
Aoi TXT: if a meteor hits me next I honestly will not even be surprised
Aoi TXT: everyone pls tell me your day is better than mine
Mamoru TXT: sounds like some kind of curse
Mamoru TXT: have you been to a shrine to get a charm? if not go to hikawa jinja, those actually work
Rashmi TXT: Aoi-chan that sounds *awful!* My day's been pretty quiet, but hold on I'm heading your way.
Amy TXT: I saw a fox named Mr. Vice President
Amy TXT: I assumed he was magical and introduced myself because who has a pet fox???
Amy TXT: But it was just a regular fox <attached: picture of Mr. Vice President wrestling a stress ball on grass, with the corner of a blanket with notebooks spread out on it in the corner of the frame>
Amy TXT: Anyway afaik luck curses could be a real thing I'm not sure how we could get you checked out for that though
Amy TXT: Where are you now?
Amy TXT: Oh right the food court you said
Aoi TXT: midtown mall yeah
Emi TXT: stay there and don't move, I'm on my way.
Aoi TXT: Maybe going to a shrine is a good idea but I think I am going to enjoy these fries first mr vice president sounds cool
Rashmi TXT: Related: Chocolate or fruit, which d'you like better?
Rashmi TXT: Also coffee, tea, or cocoa?
Rashmi TXT: Yes I'm doing a supply run don't worry you get first dibs and I *will* be enforcing that.
Rashmi TXT: Okay almost there!
