--- The next day, Sept 21 ---

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Of all the things that have changed since coming to this school, the one that most often has me going 'how did I get here?' is the fact that somehow I became a jock. In related news, arm day sucks when you're a runner who apparently decided that everything she's learning requires upper body strength.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: Ha ha ha arm day funny you should mention arms

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: I may have stabbed Sunbreaker in the hand

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: My phone is heavy today. ... wait you what!?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i definitely stabbed sunbreaker in the hand

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Any particular reason, or pure spite?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: petty vengeance in a purely spiteful way basically

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: with a rose

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: that i threw

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i was really mad

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: anyway sorry about your heavy phone :<

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I'm trying to decide how I feel about that. At least it probably.. okay /dude/.. that's kinda awesome in the mental picture.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I'm just being whiney about my phone.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: you can be mad at me, it's ok. i was kind of surprised usagi's not? the rose had thorns it was kind of like a barbed arrow. also she firebombed me on her way out

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: you have every right to be whiny about your phone. you being a jock is cool af though

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I'm not mad at you about stabbing Sunbreaker. Which I'll need to overthink for a while. Er.. are you alright? Firebombs do not sound like fun.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: the dark energy isnt a problem for me. the fire was annoying, it burnt my suit

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I'm a puny debate club girl, who is going 'ooh, boxing club, that sounds neat'.. what the hell!?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i think the biggest problem is one i dont think is a problem but i have mental notes telling me it is so it probably is. YES BUT BOXING SOUNDS NEAT DO IT

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I can see the suit being a problem, and the fire part. I'm glad you didn't get hurt.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: no it's how much more dark energy im carrying now. but its ok, i can also manage it better

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Yeah, I've got a lot of thoughts about vengance on Sunbreaker, and they are super conflicting and not translating well to text. (or hell, to articulation)

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: How do you manage it better?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: more finesse, basically. there's more of it, but i can literally manage it better as long as i don't lose my temper again. i saw some applications of it that day that were suddenly more accessible. so honestly it was like i was limiting myself to 'enough to be trouble' but not 'enough to make it worth it'

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: It's great that more dark energy makes it so much easier to not lose your temper.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: There arent many things that can make me lose my temper. Avoidance is cool too.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: anyway: that is what i am fighting with yeah

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: <3

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: it is really hard to think straight.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: How likely is it that you'll text one of us rather than stab people who aren't Sunbreaker?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: roll 5d10, +1 for every bullshit person i've had to deal with that day, with a difficulty of 18

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Clearly you'll be texting a lot.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i mean for the likelihood that i'll stab someone who isnt sunbreaker

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: instead of texting

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: it's not great

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Mostly I'm trying to get you to text one of us RATHER than stabbing.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I'm not optimistic, but hey.. worth an offer.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: morality chain? believe it or not, pyrite was doing a pretty good job of making me not actually kill her

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: but that's fair. that's a good thought. i'll text if i'm seriously tempted.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Thank you. And don't kill Pyrite either.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i could never.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i love her she's adorable and babey

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Good good.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i just. have to be calm for a while and the level will go down again.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: do you know any purifiers?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i cant get rid of all of it but it would probably be wise to go back down to where i was

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Yeah, a couple.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: can you give one of them hematite's number? (number)

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: it's faster. while i'm still thinking i should.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Yeah, I'll pass it on.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: tyvm. sorry. so arm day. is this literally in gym or ... ??

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: <sigh> It sounds even more jock if I admit yes.. in the gym.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: im laughing so much rn. you'll beat kazuo up

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Yeah, when I punch him in the knee and then he scruffs me like a feral kitten.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: ROFL *mental image* omg

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Right? Yeah. Exactly like that. <sigh> But at least I can manage to not throw like a girl.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: idk ive seen sailor moon throw

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i'd love to throw like *that* girl

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Sure, but I'm not Sailor Moon. I'm not even properly magical.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i mean you probably will be at some point. rn i'd rather not be and also love it its complicated

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I dont know if I will be or won't be. I assume no more than I am already.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: That's what Sunbreaker was trying to do, you know. Fix me.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: youre not broken :P

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: man i should have stabbed her more

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I mean.. in terms of magic, I am. In terms of being me, I'm just me and that's just how it is.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: not doing magic is not a sign of being broken in magic wtf

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i will totally stab her more before texting you now :P

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: Do not stab her more!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: if i see her i make no promises. i mean if i see her it will probably be a self defense stabbing tbh XD

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I am pretty alright with the fact that I don't have powers and the rest of you do. It's okay, it's just how I am. Same as the fact that I'm short, and have auburn hair. It just /is/.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: yes. and thats the opposite of being broken. i resent the 'fix you' implications, which you obviously picked up if youre calling your inability to do magic 'broken'

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: sorry. i'm getting mad when i dont really have the right to

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: <3 I appreciate you getting mad on my behalf, but truly it's okay.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: i gotta go beat some stuff up where theres no reception, pls put your purifier in contact as soon as you can, i think this is too much mad

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts to Mamoru Chiba: I've texted her already.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: tyvm. i will bleed off the mood first

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts to Naru Osaka: <SALUTE EMOJI>
