1:48 AM

Hinoiri text Madoka: Hey, Kamiko (or whichever one of you omelets stole her phone atm), Madoka around?

1:48 AM

Brai text Hinoiri: Umm... okay yeah one second. Madoka text Hinoiri: Hey, Hino-chan. What's up?

1:50 AM

Hinoiri text Madoka: So, you talk to Sayaka recently, about, say... a dashing guy with silver hair, glasses, kind of cute?

1:50 AM

Madoka text Hinoiri: Oh, yeah. Hiddenite. He must have made an impression on her. Guess you heard about him, too?

1:51 AM

Hinoiri text Madoka: Eeyup. Sounds like one of the butler 5. Figured should go interogate their boss, see what he knows. Wanna join in?

1:52 AM

Madoka text Hinoiri: I was meaning to do that. I don't think I've ever heard of a Hiddenite before.

1:53 AM

Hinoiri text Madoka: Also, Sayaka stood up to Blue. I won't spoil too much because I'm sure you'll wanna hear from her about it later but oh my GOSH she was amazing. I'm so proud of her, like, she was so confident and sticking up for herself. Hinoiri text Madoka: Sweet, I'll add him to the text thing. Fingers, there are useful...

1:53 AM

Madoka text Hinoiri: pause She really did? I'm glad. Madoka text Hinoiri: If things keep going as they have, she's gonna need to get used to standing up to gods. u_u;

1:55 AM

Hinoiri text Madoka: I threw a book at one, slapped another and am this close to buttoning up the shirt of a third, I'll give her some tips.

’’’Hinoiri has added Mamoru to the text chat.’’’

1:56 AM

Madoka text: Hey, Mamoru. We kinda had a question for you. Madoka text: Do you know a guy named Hiddenite?

1:58 AM

Hinoiri text: And do you understand his intentions with our starfish?

2:01 AM

Mamoru text: ugh i can pretty much tell you i met him once Mamoru text: idk if hes lying

2:03 AM

Madoka text: Once?

2:03 AM

Mamoru text: i know he doesn't mean me harm and he seems to be on our side Mamoru text: he kept mistress 9 from breaking my neck

2:04 AM

Hinoiri text: He wasn't like, someone we know from Obsidian, was he? I thought there were just five of you? Oh, well, at least he's making a good impression then.

2:04 AM

Madoka text: So literally all we know about him is that he's not immediately hostile, he may or may not have anything to do with you, and he likes blue-haired girls.

2:05 AM

Mamoru text: yup sorry

2:05 AM

Madoka text: I wouldn't even be concerned if he wasn't taking an -ite name. new mahoujin show up all the time. Madoka text: which, if he's lying? that's kinda rude.

2:06 AM

Hinoiri text: He has good tastes, at least. One sec, researching Hiddenite.

2:06 AM

Mamoru text: he claims a lot of stuff none of us remembers

2:06 AM

Madoka text: Oh I do not fault him for his taste. Not at all. Madoka text: ... interesting

2:06 AM

Hinoiri text: Reallllly? What has he been claiming?

2:06 AM

Mamoru text: the guys dislike him intensely

2:07 AM

Madoka text: Okay but that feels kinda on brand. Unless Kunzite also dislikes him?

2:08 AM

Mamoru text: kunzite is doing the kazuo version of disliking someone an indeterminate amount

2:09 AM

Madoka text: ‘’pause’’ I see.

2:09 AM

Hinoiri text: Do any of them like anyone? Like, I worked with them, they weren't the most friendly people then, either. Jadeite's cool, at times, but even he's a bit... rough at times.

2:10 AM

Mamoru text: omg this is not a bitch sesh abt my boys

2:10 AM

Madoka text: Nephrite likes Makoto. Zoi I think likes Kunzite. Madoka text: I'm a little concerned about him hitting on Sayaka-chan. Not as concerned as I would be if she were a Puella Magi, but...

2:11 AM

Hinoiri text: Fair enough, wasn't trying to bitch about them. I just don't remember them liking many people. Has that changed? Hinoiri text: I mean, he at least can't be worse than I was when we dated. At least he's not secretly working for Obsidian. Though, if he slaps one of us, that may be a sign to worry....

2:13 AM

Madoka text: Well we can always slap back.

2:13 AM

Mamoru text: yes. except not zoi. but zoi likes amy and warily likes minako and is amazingly yan about kazuo

2:14 AM

Madoka text: I have to admit this isn't the glowing recc I was hoping to hear, but... thanks for being honest.

2:14 AM

Hinoiri text: Fair enough. Also, like. I got to see him rescue Sayaka on one of Blue's mirrors and I think it showed me how she saw it. I swear it was in slow motion and there were bishie sparkles. It was adorable.

2:15 AM

Madoka text: Oh you actually saw it? Huh.

2:15 AM

Mamoru text: i really don't know the guy. i just feel like i should, and that i like him

2:16 AM

Hinoiri text: AH HA! Okay, found it. Hiddenite was discovered in north america. Which of your boys came from north america in their past life? Well, actually, I guess I should ask. Does he claim to be from that whole era? Cause like... I know there are a few other people who use 'Ite' in their name and who AREN'T one of your boys. Hinoiri text: And yeah, it was only in the mirror for a second. Blue has a lot of things on them, apparently they can reflect what's in our hearts and whatnot.

2:16 AM

Mamoru text: yeah and nephrite and yeah

2:17 AM

Madoka text: nephrite. got it.

2:17 AM

Mamoru text: oh danburite was too but he was venus' lieutenant

2:18 AM

Hinoiri text: So, is he claiming to be a king? Or something else? Cause... I only remember there being like four of them then?

2:18 AM

Mamoru text: an archivist of forbidden knowledge

2:18 AM

Hinoiri text: ... So, I gotta know. These names, was it just a cultural thing back then to name everyone after rocks? Like, NOT a judgment call, just curiousity. I'd have no stone (pun intended) to throw here.

2:19 AM

Madoka text: So that's the story he's going with? An archivist of forbidden knowledge so deep and important that the Prince couldn't know about it?

2:20 AM

Mamoru text: no they were names you earned by being an adept magic user basically

2:20 AM

Hinoiri text: ... Okay, wow, yeah. You see him later, let him know to be careful. Riventon is going to try and mug the buck out of this guy. When I took him to KKF I'm pretty sure he would have tried to swipe the necroponicom if he'd known where it was.

2:21 AM

Madoka text: def not someone you want getting interrogated by Obsidian

2:22 AM

Mamoru text: there was stuff i couldnt know that is lost forever. my mother knew many things i did not.

2:23 AM

Madoka text: I guess that makes sense.

2:23 AM

Hinoiri text: Buck, if Beryl had known someone like that was around she'd have been hunting him all over the city. Girl was obsessed. And... yeah. If you feel you can trust him? Might be true.

2:23 AM

Madoka text: You were only king for a really short while, and there wasn't really time for your subordinates to give you a briefing. Considering the... everything. Madoka text: So far? I don't believe a word he says. Madoka text: But that doesn't make him an enemy.

2:24 AM

Mamoru text: if he really does have that kind of information...

2:24 AM

Madoka text: let's just say that my trust in him is conditional

2:24 AM

Hinoiri text: ... I think everyone here has a... thing or two they've had to play close to their chest. Sorry if this is bringing bad memories. Hinoiri text: I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt, Sayaka deserves a nice guy. But if he hurts her, I'm taking one of his lungs.

2:25 AM

Madoka text: I know, and I'm trying to be sensitive about that. We all wear our disguises. Recent events have really made it clear why we need to.

2:25 AM

Mamoru text: lmfao i don't believe him either but i do feel like i can trust him otherwise. but it might be true, you know? vaguely open mind

2:26 AM

Hinoiri text: Considering the recent stuff going on, he might even be telling the truth and lying -.- Maybe he comes from an alternate past earth's world.

2:26 AM

Madoka text: I do agree that Sayaka deserves to find happiness. Whether or not this is the guy she's looking for remains to be seen, but that's what dating's for.

2:26 AM

Mamoru text: oh yeah if he hurts her take him apart

2:26 AM

Madoka text: ... You know, he might. Madoka text: Yeah no if this turns out be some kind of scam and he's actually harming her in some way?

2:27 AM

Mamoru text: historyyyyy

2:28 AM

Hinoiri text: He will be~

2:28 AM

Madoka text: I mean. I always have an easy way to hide bodies. :/

2:29 AM

Hinoiri text: Sweet. And I know a guy who can erase his digital fingerprint. Well, girl.

2:29 AM

Mamoru text: for which i am both truly grateful and deeply apologetic

2:29 AM

Madoka text: It is what it is.

2:29 AM

Hinoiri text: .... Wait, why are you apologetic?

2:29 AM

Madoka text: ... I buried one of the Black Moon girls in it.

2:30 AM

Hinoiri text: ... Oh... that... Hinoiri text: ... Do you need a hug? Like, no joke, you okay?

2:30 AM

Madoka text: It's fine. I gave her a eulogy and then erased what was left of her from existence. Madoka text: I tried to find something nice to say, and Tia just told me off. u_u;

2:31 AM

Mamoru text: hah hm shouldn't laugh

2:31 AM

Hinoiri text: 'She can no longer do any harm.'

2:31 AM

Madoka text: That's a lot nicer than the way Tia-chan said it. Madoka text: Friend if I'm gonna be nice to someone who tried to murder an innocent boy in front of me I'm sure as the sunrise not going to judge you for laughing at her death. u_u;

2:32 AM

Mamoru text: anyway yeah no if he's a cad ice him ladies Mamoru text: aww 🥰

2:33 AM

Madoka text: Will do. Kamiko text: I'm gonna laugh if Sayaka earnestly pleaded her case with Blue only for Hiddenite to turn out to be a jerk. Kamiko text: Not like... at Sayaka but at the irony of the situation Madoka text: Sorry about that. Took the phone back.

2:34 AM

Mamoru text: oh shit i hope for a lot of reasons that hiddenite is legit

2:35 AM

Madoka text: it would be nice

2:38 AM

Hinoiri text: If he turns out to be a jerk... well... Hinoiri text: ... That's his problem, not Sayaka's. She has every right to explore and I'll stand by her every time. And if he's a dick, then the next guy can just be better and this guy can be the bump we bury out back after he helped clear the way.

2:40 AM

Madoka text: Right. Sayaka can take care of herself. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna have her back, but it's ultimately her choice.

2:40 AM

Hinoiri text: ... And uhhh, if he's a jerk AND one of your boys? I am sorry, Mamoru.

2:41 AM

Madoka text: ... we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. u_u

2:41 AM

Hinoiri text: Also, Mamoru, one last thing. Since we're likely going to be pumping Nephrite for information. What's his favorite ice cream flavor?

2:42 AM

Mamoru text: activated charcoal Mamoru text: i dont know but he likes citrusy stuff

2:43 AM

Madoka text: o_o I've never heard of that fla-- oh that was a joke. Madoka text: maybe a sherbert?

2:43 AM

Hinoiri text: ... I've seen that flavor, but I thought only dragons liked it...

2:43 AM

Mamoru text: hehehehe

2:45 AM

Hinoiri text: Worst comes to worst, though... at least with us working together, the charas can likely do stakeouts. 😛 Hinoiri text: Thanks for the info, Mamoru, it's late and we'll let you get back to sleep. Toodles.

2:45 AM

Madoka text: See you around, Mamo

2:46 AM

Hinoiri text: Don't tell the omeletes I called them by their actual name! They'll get uppity!

2:46 AM

Madoka text: too late. Medo's reading over my shoulder. Madoka text: besides if anyone's an omelete it's amy

2:47 AM

Hinoiri text: Curses. Foiled again. Oh gosh that girl is full scrambled.

2:47 AM

Madoka text: I meant more that she's a cracked egg but anyways Madoka text: ttyl

2:47 AM

Hinoiri text: So did I. 😛

2:48 AM

Madoka text: XD
