(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: Hey let me know when you have a minute

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: it might be a hot minute im meeting w hinoiri over sth or other

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: oh right I should unblock her

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: What does she want anyways

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: platitudes probably. idk i'll tell you after we finish talking lol

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: whatever, I can't wait around all day. anyways I figured out how to solve you having two brothers for the wedding and all. so don't worry

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: omg ok i'll put hinoiri on hold in person

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: It's called priority? am I less important because I'm not there in person? do I need to come there in person because I can. unless you're on campus, since they broke all the friggin Doors

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: you realize it's not just the wedding i'd have two brothers for, right? i mean, that's a symptom of my life being more complicated than it needs to be, not the source

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i mean sure you can, we're in the cat cafe on the bottom floor of my building

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: yeah the problem is that you have me known to people as two different brothers.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: anyways I just need to get rid of Riventon so you only have one brother. or something like that.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: h-how would you get rid of riventon? o.O

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: well, I'm trying to figure that out. or you could just like, disown him. I mean we already shot at each other. I could fake a bigger fight

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i read that book and you are no wei wuxian and i am no jiang cheng

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: by which i mean

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i don't think disowning will work but i'll also try to think of ways that might work, or be a component of something that works

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I thought about trying to find a way to remove memories first but I figured you'd be more against that.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah i'm super attached to memories not being messed with

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: not wanting me to do it because other people had is kind of like not wanting to have surgery because some jackass stabbed you once, but I knew that'd be the answer so I didn't really pursue it

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: technically i could probably learn how to do it

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I'm just trying to keep you out of trouble with your girls

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: <3

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: there's plenty of time

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I thought about getting another henshin but like. I don't know how far the Veil stretches and there'd be still someone working with the same people and all.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: there does also exist the option of letting me exchange your identities XD

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but i accept that that's also not what you want

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: dude my dorm is next to the worlds most old-soul'd 14 year old who tried to kill me when we first met and I like still being over to use his coffee machine. and that's like, a small example of good reasons to be wary

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: sailor moon takes her word as seriously as i take mine, and i think it would be a good idea for her to know who she's attacking so she doesn't think of you as a caricature of a villain. unless you don't think it's a good idea because you might go after her family or something, in which case, im proud of you

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I don't think I would but it's really the only threat I have to keep it quiet. like. I can't assume she cares about me the way you do, just because she knows you. and then if she starts sharing, what do I have. I can either cross that line or just be totally hosed with no recourse? I don't think I'd go after her family, you know how I am with family. just. I don't want to be put into a corner where that's my only recourse.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: ooooh, i understand

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: okay! i'll keep trying to help think of ways. i mean riventon could also opt not to go because there'll be 20 zillion sparkles there

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: man if it wasn't you Takashi wouldn't go and as far as I know nobody wants to reduce him to a fine particulate.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: come on though, a wedding on the moon?? how cool is that

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: but I'm also under a lot of stress lately. so who knows. and look the last time I went to some 'really cool off-world place' I ended up in horse-music-land. so maybe I'm a little wary

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: look just because horse land doesn't mean you shouldn't get surgery, or something something

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: we'll see where things are at in a couple of years <3 it's okay.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: ...sometimes I worry about you and all of those cats, toxoplasmosis is a thing

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: you can only get it from a cat if the cat is contagious, which they only are for like three days in early kittenhood

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but you're gently making fun of me XD

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: there you go. see, we can both still be lightened up.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: XD ofc

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: also i snagged equivalence, she didnt learn how to teleport

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: now if I could just get you to stop being mister nick-of-time for people. I'm gonna be cross if the apocalypse comes because you couldn't keep your cape out of my business you know. like. the last words out of my mouth are gonna be 'SEE' and you'll have to deal with me glaring you for the whole afterlife

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: LMAO

:(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I didn't realize how close you were to leaving when you actually ditched Dark Energy, you know. Didn't think you would be coming back all unable to hit the Dusk Zone. I would have tried to show you what I saw before then. now like, I hope we're never in a position where you can stand in the presence of it

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I was quitting that Monday, the 18th. But it was a year ago today I got the shit kicked out of me by like 12 OP sparkles at the same time and then the biggest purification attack ever

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i had planned on having that weekend

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: yeah I was gonna take you before then so maybe somebody didn't think I was entirely crazy.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: no i believe you that something awful is coming

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i've had dreams about it, you know how sometimes i get nightmares and they're for real? i feel like it's one of those

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: nah, we got a lot of awful things here already. Beryl was awful. She's dead. Joker's awful. He may be undead. Awful doesn't cover it. I'm not sure Japanese alone can cover it. Need to go into other languages.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: a big clawing gnawing nothingness of corruption from the stars eating the earth while some girl's standing in the middle of it. someone else's sun demon.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: fun. not what I'm talking about but who says we can only have one apocalypse right

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: oh! ok. yeah

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: apparently you and I get to live in exciting times. there's a reason that's a curse

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: there sure is. but it's exciting anyway, to be able to get to do something, anything

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: okay look I'm not saying I yearn for the business mines or anything

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: XD XD XD

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: just that sometimes I feel like the crazy guy on the side of the street in America. "THE END IS COMING"

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: alarm fatigue.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: there are so many horrifying apocalypses that are just waiting for the right circumstances

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: so yeah, we have to stop them all. but if there weren't also time to stop and play with cats, we'd all go collectively insane

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: people already think I'm insane, I guess I should be wary about proving them right

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yes. yes please. don't go actually nuts :(

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: hinoiri is running out of snacks and the cats are trying to get them from her because anko fucked off somewhere else

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: well if I do you'll just have to save yet another person. but that's why you went all sparkle in the end, so really I'm helping you.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'll save you, obviously yes, but yeah the goal is not making me have to XD

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: well, if you have to and you can't don't kick your own ass too much. I am pretty hard-headed.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: <3 :( <3 :(

<OOC> Mamoru Chiba says, "and then mamoru sniffles and wipes his eyes under his glasses"

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: don't take that seriously, man. it'd require me to be wrong, which is not even something you should remotely worry about.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: ah! well then. XD

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I'm still the smartest person you know, don't worry

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: okay! yay!
