(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: Hey. a few things but mostly I kinda need some help. a little.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: oh my god you *are* alive, thank god

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yes good how can i help???

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: if I'm gonna die I'm not letting you do it, you'll rock yourself to sleep in a corner over it for like a week

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: but I am pretty messed up. but that's not what I need help with.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: thank you. i feel bad enough as it is. let me heal you even if that's not what you need help with. :P

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: Sorry only one hand to text and not good at asking for help

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: but I can't keep relying on people who aren't around all the time. anyways. I need to work with some people about Firefly. I could figure it out if I had more time, but I clearly don't have more time.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: *please* let me heal you, no purification at all, you remember my real energy right? it won't hurt! and you might as well take advantage of offers when people are around and offering, it's me, i'm people. but okay, so, what kind of people do you need?

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: smart people. like. at least half as smart as me. trustworthy smart people. I have to do something about Firefly's condition now, not later. And so I need people who can understand magic. I figure I can count you in for the healing side of things. I already talked to Naru Osaka. but I want to get as much brains together as I can

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: got it, so you don't need shakespeare smart. you need engineering smart. but not other device mages probably. i mean unfortunately the other two most technically, practically, and mathematically adept people i know are sailors mercury and pluto, and you definitely insulted one to her face the other day. i can negotiate a teamup though, im pretty sure.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I insulted you like 2-3 times a week and you still put up with me when it matters.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah but that's different, we're brothers. anyway i'll contact them. is there a place you want to meet? will you let me heal you BEFORE the meeting like ffs

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I will a bit, but it's not like you can put the bones back together all honky dory. I've been through this enough to know what you can and can't do. Anyways. Look, just... try and bring up the idea. They can choose where. I'm coming as Riv, not Takashi, so they need to feel safe, and probably should come in henshin. Cept Naru.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: also zoisite was hanging around with some punk who wears way too much formalwear.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: and some guy calling himself kunzite tried to bother me too. is he yours?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: kunzite's my boyfriend yeah

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: and i can handle bones, just takes multiple sessions if it's more than just fractures. i have more power than i did before the dark energy, at least

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: anyway i'll get the meeting together yeah

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: GOD i dont want to keep *my* secrets from you. you'll figure them out anyway.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: should i leave it as plausible deniability?

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: ...you have a boyfriend? Didn't you mostly leave for that girl?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: why not both? (they both know about the other it's fine)

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: anyways, whatever. the meeting first. then I can be confused at normal stuff. I don't have time to dismantle your secrets. just leave the rest where they are for now. I am worried about the girl first. then I can pry into your weird personal life when I'm not worried about losing someone else

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: fwiw i really like hotaru, she's such a sweetheart and you've done such a good job protecting her. i'll do everything i can, not just for you.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: it's appreciated. let me know when you've got it sorted or if I need to keep trying other things.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: :thumbs-up emoji: will do. and let me know when you're someplace i can also be. like the dorms. so i can heal your annoying ass

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: it'll be a day or so. I need to heal up.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i know better than to argue with you, just know that im arguing in my heart

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I mean a different kind of healing

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: brain stuff. it's been. a hell of a day

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: oh, shit. okay. yes, i bet. :/ okay rest up, talk to you soon
