??:?? ?M

Takashi TXT: hey fuckface, I think I remember usagi streams, don't let her stream seven nights and sakawhatever, some nutjob in the gaming divison has a vendetta and weird shit is going on"

Takashi TXT: you still suck bye

12:24 AM

Mamoru TXT: thanks 👍

Mamoru TXT: dw anyway we kicked its ass

12:25 AM

Takashi TXT: good because the thing where I told you not to die hasn't been rescinded

12:25 AM

Mamoru TXT: is that an apology for almost killing me

12:25 AM

Takashi, staring at phone

12:27 AM

long delay

Takashi TXT: usagi give mamoru the phone back

12:27 AM

Mamoru TXT: you did say she's in my head :P

12:28 AM

Takashi TXT: quite correctly, as usual

12:28 AM

Mamoru TXT: anyway she's right. thanks for the heads up though

12:29 AM

Takashi TXT: I apologize for letting my desire to smack you cause me to miss the supreme inherent boneheadedness of fist-fighting you without my device on, anyways. won't happen again

12:29 AM

Mamoru TXT: lmao

Mamoru TXT: let me know when you want to apologize for almost killing me

12:31 AM

Mamoru TXT: like. you're my brother. you should regret almost killing me enough to say sorry about it

12:31 AM

Takashi typing, deleting, typing, deleting

12:32 AM

Mamoru TXT: i gave your new sidekick my card in case she gets hurt

12:34 AM

Takashi TXT: Yeah she told me she was somehow found out, and I'm not surprised you were involved. apparently you two have something in common which is not paying attention when I stress the importance of things

12:36 AM

Mamoru TXT: without that there would be no plot

12:36 AM

Takashi TXT: I'm sorry you got hurt and I'm sorry I'm the one who did it. feels like it kinda defeated the whole point of the fighting without henshin devices anyways. learned some new stuff, so yay science, tho.

12:39 AM

Mamoru TXT: mmm. yay science

Mamoru TXT: thanks. but why don't you want to say you almost killed me? like, did hotaru-chan tell you how many bones broke or the amount of blunt trauma to soft tissue there was?

Mamoru TXT: i'm just trying to see if like, you can acknowledge that the amount of harm you did to me was completely disproportionate to the words that came out of my mouth

Mamoru TXT: i'm not pushing for it tonight though

Mamoru TXT: im too tired after fighting swarms of roboyouma inside a videogame for like an hour

12:46 AM

Takashi TXT: for one thing that would require me to remember the words that came out of your mouth which is like. not a thing I can do legitimately at this point.

Takashi TXT: for two the presence of norie, nephrite, and hotaru was specifically because there was some inherent risk

Takashi TXT: for three you are probably going to keep getting in my way and I can't guarantee your safety at that point even if I'd like to. so what's the point of flagellating myself on your altar if you won't even admit the way you came at me about the gem was bullshit? Stop talking down to me like you're some moral core and I need to learn a lesson to stand in your grace.

Takashi TXT: I've got research to run, good night.

12:46 AM

Mamoru TXT: oh dude no the way i initially approached you was bullshit

12:47 AM

Takashi TXT: wait what

12:47 AM

Mamoru TXT: i was really mad because you'd just triggered a shitton of ptsd in the middle of a fight using something i thought for sure you would know would trigger me

Mamoru TXT: so yeah i did come at you on a high horse, i was furious and hurt

Mamoru TXT: but it was absolutely bullshit.

12:50 AM

Takashi TXT: ...alright, then I'm still here.

Takashi TXT: Give me a sec to turn this down. or I'm gonna have to put my assistant back together.

12:50 AM

Mamoru TXT: yikes be careful

12:51 AM

Takashi TXT: anyways. I did not genuinely think you'd say that. lets. try some understanding I guess

Takashi TXT: I understand now I didn't really think through the way you would feel when I did the thing. and it made you feel shitty and a little betrayed. but you know why I did it, right? like. you know what was at stake in my mind.

12:55 AM

Mamoru TXT: i would show you. i would show you how i felt so you can get it, and you could show me how you feel so i can get it, like we used to do before obsidian.

12:55 AM

Takashi TXT: that might be a good exchange but I'm worried about hurting you, you know. the wasps. I'm like. more wasp than I realized. Joker brought me wine and it was molecularly, truthfully, and even taste-wise actually a gift of wine. trust me I tested it every which way.

Takashi TXT: Trying to figure out like, the catch, the trick, the trap. it was just a gift, man.

12:58 AM

Mamoru TXT: ... the wasps hurt a lot less than the flagstones did, my brother. ^^;

12:59 AM

Mamoru TXT: but i think i know what was at stake. maybe if you showed me that i would understand better

1:00 AM

Takashi TXT: Still not comfortable with that word. it wasn't your words that broke that. it was my actions.

1:01 AM

Mamoru TXT: so what are we to you?

Mamoru TXT: if by word you mean brother

Mamoru TXT: ...or do you mean flagstones because...

1:02 AM

Takashi TXT: well now I'm not comfortable with either

1:02 AM

Mamoru TXT: lmfao

1:03 AM

Takashi TXT: look, I don't know the answer to that question anymore.

Takashi TXT: see, I can admit I don't know things

Takashi TXT: like the other stuff I don't know I gotta figure it out.

1:03 AM

Mamoru TXT: i love you and that won't change, no matter what. not sure how much of a comfort that is, but, it's true.

Mamoru TXT: anyway if you can tell me more about the threat you've had nightmares about forever, that would be cool, but that's also not a tonight thing

Mamoru TXT: i'm going to bed, gn

1:06 AM

Takashi TXT: yeah, I'll think about that. I don't want it getting back to Obsidian though. so like.

Takashi TXT: sorry I hurt you so damn bad. it's hard to articulate because I really did want to break your face. and right now sometimes I still do. but not in the like. same way. that I did. in that moment.

Takashi TXT: I got work to do, anyways.

1:07 AM

Mamoru TXT: ❤️

Mamoru TXT: LMFAO wait wait

Mamoru TXT: ~ara~

1:09 AM

Takashi TXT: i stg I didn't block you for trying to tell me what to do with the rock but I will block you for this shit

1:09 AM

Mamoru TXT: LMFAOOOOOO

Mamoru TXT: gn
