(PHONE) Zoisite texts: You up

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah what's up

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Things have become progressively spookier in Obsidian Tower of late.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: More so than usual, that is.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Do you need me to come collect her or something, she's supposed to be pretending to sleep like a normal human child

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: No, that isn't the problem. She seems to enjoy terrifying people and driving them insane and/or making them self-medicate heavily. I don't think that's going to change no matter where she is. It's her nature.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Are you just talking about her interactions with you guys, because... :D no, so, what's the problem?

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: No. The employees in the sub-levels have been suffering gradual mental degradation, and some of those people are semi-important to our goals. They are rolling to Save vs. SAN Loss and failing those rolls abysmally.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: The problem, to simplify, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but: You need to spend more time with her.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I can't believe you just said that

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Don't copy me.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: What happened to ohhh she's a death curse you have a death wish Hema-chan

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: I don't know what form the leash you have takes, but the further out you let her stretch it, the more uncontrolled she becomes. Rein her in before someone else has to, please.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: She seems to settle down when you're nearby. That's all.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I will. DW I was teasing, I'm not taking this weirdly or anything. Even when I'm annoyed I'm still me.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: As if I'd be anyone else

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: If you weren't you, neither would the rest of us be who we are. And...

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: I don't mean to harp on this subject, but my opinion of Pyrite has changed over the couple months you've had her.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: It's fine. How has it changed?

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Namely, she's even more annoying than I had previously thought.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: She spilled marinade on me, Hematite.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: It was deliberate.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: But also.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: She may be a death curse, but if she isn't the one to expend herself on you, and something happens to you where she can't get to you anymore...

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: I think we are //all// in danger.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: No not from marinade, shut up, I know you.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: :D

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Anyway, that's about it for the heavy talk.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: There's other heavy talk about danger, but I think it should wait until you come with me to check out where I've gotten with the successor to the Dark Agency. Since it's vaguely related.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Also, I'd prefer it if nobody 'expended themselves' on me, but I think you know that.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Ohh, certainly. Maybe Sailor V will even not tear it to pieces this time--Yes, I'd prefer that as well. But I've decided to assume that you have a plan for her that the rest of us aren't seeing, and that you wouldn't just take on something like that without realizing the potential consequences.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: I have more faith in you than that.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: When did you decide you had more faith in me than that? Did you hit your head? Are you okay? But seriously--

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: There is a plan, and it doesn't involve replacing anyone, if you're worried about that too. I forget less when she's around. But again, I'll talk about more stuff when we go.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: When I decided was around the time I realized that if you actually had a death wish and couldn't be persuaded to drop it, that I'd be joining you in death one way or another. There's no point in staying in this world otherwise. After that, doubting you stopped seeming especially useful.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Right. We'll chat more then.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I WANT TO HUG YOU IS THAT ALLOWED

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Of course. I am all about affection, you know.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Speaking of which, what are you wearing?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: is this an a/s/l or are you judging my t-shirts

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: I just got out of the shower, so all I'm wearing is a bathrobe.

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: *Sends picture*

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Guess which it is.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: :eyes:

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. the green one?

(PHONE) Zoisite texts: Listen are you going to teleport over here and give me my Metallia-damned hug or am I going to drink myself to sleep, depressed and lonely, and far too beautiful for this cold, cruel world.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: omw
