Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Chiyo Sakai: Hematite right now ICly group-texts: I'm thinking Wednesday evening might be good for a study group? I can also ask a couple of my other friends if they'd like to come too. Koji, would you be interested? I might also ask Agera.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Hematite), Koji Silvia (Koji) 's group text
response: Study Group..?
From afar (to Chiyo Sakai, Hematite, and Koji Silvia), Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) ICLY group texts: You guys actually want to study? T_T
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Hematite), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) ICly responds with: 'Studying is easier with friends! We can all share our knowledge that way.' Also shoots off a quick text message to Koji alone: 'This is one of the things I wanted to talk to you about, sorry! Darien-kun suggested a 'study group' so we could all get together because he thinks I have a crush on you. He probably also wanted an excuse to see Usagi-chan, too.'
You paged Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Chiyo Sakai with 'Yeah, Chiyo and Usagi and I thought it might be a-- Usagi-chan, studying is very important! If you get good grades on your tests, you get to do less work later.'
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Hematite, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) ICly texts - Very well. I will find a good venue for a first study group. Chiyo, please bring some treats from your shop. Darien, we will need Konbini snacks and extra study supplies. Pencils and workbooks. Usagi, please bring your last tests so we can review what you need to work on?
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Chiyo Sakai: Hematite quickly texts Usagi solo, 'Just say you'd like to review everything to be sure.'
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Chiyo Sakai: Hematite GROUP texts, "Done and done."
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Chiyo Sakai: Hematite group texts, "Also,
Usagi-chan, please tell your roommate. Naru, right?"
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Hematite), Koji Silvia (Koji) Group Texts - 3 Rules of Study Group... 1. No phones out unless you have an urgent message or need to look up something. 2. No school computers of tablets out. Focus on work and not on online stuff. 3. Treats are for rewards, not just for grabbing.
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Chiyo Sakai: Hematite group texts, "--unless you're hypoglycemic, in which case, eat something solid before study group and we can keep protein bars or something on hand. But those aren't treat-like, so."
Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) pages Chiyo Sakai, Hematite, and Koji Silvia: ICLY "I'll tell Naru-chan. She'll like this plans. T_T
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Hematite), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) ICly group texts: 'Can do! Ojii-san says he'll make us something special.'
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Hematite, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) Group Texts again: Usagi, we know you don't like homework, but you will be the one getting us to break and relax, which is good. It's not always good to study hard all the time. You will see.
From afar (to Chiyo Sakai, Koji Silvia, and Hematite), Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) group texting. "Yeah, I knooooow..... and I'm going to come no matter what because you'll all be there. T_T We'll be okay!
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Hematite IC texts: Hey, you interested in joining a study group? We're possibly meeting tomorrow night. Chiyo Sakai and Usagi Tsukino and I came up with it to help Usagi out, and my roommate'll also be coming. I might ask the other guys if they want to come, but Pyrite might also come, and I know she's somewhat divisive.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Hematite), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) group texts: Usagi-chan are you going to be bringing your cat?
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Hematite texts: Usagi's friend Naru will probably come too.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Hematite), Koji Silvia (Koji) group texts: If you are bringing a pet, I need to know ahead of time because it changes where we will study.
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka) IC Texts: I don't know any of those people. oh except Naru I met her. I don't get what everyone's problem is with your murderkohai. She's only tried to stab me once. that's less than zoi. But hey, if you'll sign this paperwork saying I helped tutor you I'll come. worst case I can get amusement out of you trying to control Py.
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka)IC Texts: I'm still not supposed to be doing anything really fun for a little bit so I am free.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Hematite texts: Tutor *me*? Pfft. No, but I'd love to see you tutor Py-tan <3
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Hematite texts: wait what are you grounded for??
Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) pages Chiyo Sakai, Hematite, and Koji Silvia: group texts: No, I'm not going to try and bring her. Sometimes she follows me around, but I'll make sure she knows not to!
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka) IC Texts: oh just being a spearcushion and rifle target. I'm supposed to take it easy for a few more days. My device is still whining about my injuries and I figured I'd humor it.
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Hematite group texts: I might end up bringing my little sister if I can't help it, and if I do I'm sorry in advance. She's cute af but she scares a lot of people for some reason. (She also really needs the help, she doesn't know how to read or write yet. Or math. Or... much.) If she doesn't scare you, maybe you can help teach her, Usagi-chan! Teaching is one of the best ways to learn.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Hematite texts: Oh right, I literally forgot about that, I've
been in Australia. I hope you're at least feeling somewhat better.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Hematite texts: Not that I forgot it happened, just I forgot it might still be an issue.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Hematite), Koji Silvia (Koji) sends just to Chiyo - >.<;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Hematite), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) responds to Koji: 'Is he this dense?'
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka) IC Texts: I don't think it is, but. downside of your weapon being able to think and act on your behalf - it worries. and makes that known.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Hematite texts: FWIW when I see you I'll probably worry again too :P okay see you soon
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Hematite, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) Group Texts Back after 3 minutes of ...s :Okay. I want you ALL to tell me by the end of the day how many people you want to come to study group. If a lot of people come, we will break up by grades or subjects to make this more efficient.
Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) pages Koji Silvia, Chiyo Sakai, and Hematite: ICLY: "You can bring your little sister! I might not be able to help though... I tried to explain video games today and it was hard. T_T I'll only bring my friend Naru!
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Hematite, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) group texts SWIFTLY - Usagi, just in case, you have until the end of the day. just in case.
Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) pages Chiyo Sakai, Hematite, and Koji Silvia: It's only going to be
Naru-chan! Promise! I can't inflict *studying* on people. And Rei-chan doesn't go to our school.
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Hematite group texts: Okay, I don't think Takashi is coming, he only knows me and Naru. And listen!! I don't WANT to bring my sister, but sometimes she follows me and I can't do anything about it; she gets into moods where no one else at work will watch her. Sorry. :/
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Hematite), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) group texts: I'll bring snacks. ... Why would people at work watch your sister?
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Hematite group texts: It's
complicated. If she doesn't come, I might tell you some of it tomorrow.
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka) Texts IC: Seriously though you or someone else has to sign this thing. You don't have to ACTUALLY let me tutor you I just need someone to say I did. They don't have anything caffeinated in the school cafeteria and I'd like to be able to continue thinking.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Darien Shields, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) sends to
Darien - I want the good ramen bowl for this. Big. Black Label. and a fresh egg and some soy sauce chicken too. NO SKIMPING.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Darien Shields texts: I'm literally one of the best students in the school, my pride is at stake here. How do you not get paid enough for caffeine? I can just buy you coffee! Christ.
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Chiyo Sakai: Darien Shields sends to Koji: Even though you know what's paying for it? :P
From afar (to Darien Shields, Usagi Tsukino, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) sends to
Darien - Darien...
From afar (to Darien Shields, Usagi Tsukino, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) sends to
Darien - YOU HAVE A LITTLE SISTER?!?!!>>!!!
Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) pages Chiyo Sakai, Darien Shields, and Koji Silvia: texts to Chiyo "Who knew Darien had a sister! That he takes to work with him even! That's kinda nice, I'd never bring my brother to work. If I had a job I mean!
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Darien Shields), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) texts Koji: I wouldn't have guessed how bad he is at talking to girls. Or maybe it's just Usagi-chan? That's cute though, that he looks after her.
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Darien Shields sends to Koji: It's complicated and I can't explain it but yes, yes I do. I didn't know I had a little sister until recently. It's complicated. I'm really sorry.
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka) IC Texts: You really have no idea how much Beryl coddles you. Or, more charitably, how much easier it is for her to see your accomplishments. Look, fine, just give me your word somebody is gonna sign this thing. I'm practically working for exposure at this point. And then I'll come to your little impromptu cram school. (Can you believe some people actually go to those things? Like, DAILY?!)
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Darien Shields, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) sends to Chiyo - You wouldn't know it from how he acts at school, tbh. | Then sends to Darien - Sorry, I'm just surprised by it. Along with Study group. But this is your chance to NOT MESS UP.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Darien Shields, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) finally sends to the group - I have three options. At School, an office meeting room my mom can get us, or I can try and swing a restaurant table at a place I know so we can have dinner after study group.
Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) pages Chiyo Sakai, Koji Silvia, and Darien Shields: texts to the group after a moment, "Darien, how old is your sister? If she's really little, school or an office is better, so if she gets bored she can run around the room some.
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Darien Shields group texts: Korma Chameleon? Because Korma Chameleon would be great. If that's what you mean. If it's not then I'm sure whatever other place it is would also be great! ... ahh, Usagi-chan, she's 10, so not that little. But... if she comes, she won't want to run around, she's not that kind of kid. I'm going to see what I can do to make sure she's busy. This is just if, right?
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Darien Shields sends to Koji: I know. Thank you. I will get you lots of the good ramen.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Darien Shields), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) group texts hesitantly. How? Somehow. 'I could maybe put together some wagashi ingredients and teach her how to make some? Like arts and crafts. Only she'd get to eat the end result. Mochi is really kind of like modeling clay.'
You paged Takashi Agera with 'You don't have to come. But I can definitely advertise for you, and I can probably also teach Py how to write her name and she can sign one. Maybe. I'm just. The school would absolutely not buy it if I signed one, either.'
Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) pages Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Darien Shields: 'Or I could teach all of you, too, if you want! As something for study break.'
From afar (to Darien Shields, Usagi Tsukino, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) group texts: Usagi-chan and Chiyo, please prepare in case little sister shows up. I have never had a sibling so I don't know what to do. I will contact Korma Chameleon and ask what they'll need to let us study there. I'll arrange for a table for 8 so there is space to work. It means no snacks, and I'll have to ask permission to bring in the treats. Won't be a problem.
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka) IC Texts: Does py even have an identity that goes to this school? they're not gonna help if I'm not teaching a student
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka) IC Texts: well I guess I'll come if I don't have anything locked down by then. maybe I should just forge it anyways. whatever. do you need to like, ration seats ahead of time, or is it ok if I just show up if I can?
Long distance to Koji Silvia, Usagi Tsukino, and Chiyo Sakai: Darien Shields group texts:
Yessssssssssssss. Thank you Koji! If everyone can chip in 1000 yen, I can cover the rest of the bill for dinner. Um also Takashi might come after all. He's see-sawing on it. :P I'm gonna try really hard to keep my sister in a good mood tomorrow so she's okay to stay at work.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Darien Shields texts: We're gonna go to Korma Chameleon and I'm gonna foot most of the bill. I'm asking 1000-yen chip-ins. And I'm dead sure that there'll at least be someone there willing to sign if you do some actual tutoring and explain the whole thing where they don't have to pay and it's for your lunch money. Also, thanks for reminding me I have a creepy cougar as my boss and I get preferential treatment. You want to trade?
Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) pages Chiyo Sakai, Darien Shields, and Koji Silvia: group texts "I'm sure it's going to be fine! She can't be worse than when my brother Shingo wants to meet my friends."
From afar, Takashi Agera (Taka) IC Texts: you know I'd trade. you can deal with sir cackles a lot, his not-stepwife, and a reckless disregard for his daughter. Seriously dude is a genius but he's a little off at this point.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Darien Shields), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) texts Koji: I'm kind of glad I don't have siblings.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Darien Shields texts: We could try and see if that would work if I didn't think there'd be a severence package involved somewhere.
Takashi Agera (Taka) pages: yeah I don't think that would go over well with your least secret admirer
From afar (to Darien Shields, Usagi Tsukino, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) text to Chiyo: My mom put her foot down after me. Not that you'd KNOW... >.<;; Sumimasen. Compared to wrangling my dad, these two are easy.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Darien Shields texts: like two minutes of ... typing which presumably involves backspacing a lot because all he sends is Yeah.
Long distance to Takashi Agera: Darien Shields texts: Anyway, then, hope to see you tomorrow. I'll help you get signatures. We'll eat curry.
PHONE: Takashi Agera says, "Try not to eat any fireballs between now and then. I'll try to stay unstabbed."
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Darien Shields group texts: Sorry I lost track of what I was doing, I got a work text. Anyway, I'll see you all tomorrow, probably with Takashi, probably not with my sister! Takashi is also officially a tutor for the school, btw, so if anyone needs or wants that outside of study group, he offers that (even if he just helps at actual study group, I personally would love it if anyone would sign his piece of paper saying you got some help from him, since it would shut him up oh my god.)
PHONE: Phoning Takashi Agera, Darien Shields says, "Agree."
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Darien Shields), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) texts the group: I guess I could sign it for him? My grades aren't bad so it won't reflect poorly on him at all.
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Darien Shields group texts: I will owe you so much favor of whatever. THANK you.
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Darien Shields, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) group sends: We all sign. As my dad likes to say. 'Ride or Die'.
Usagi Tsukino (Usagi) pages Darien Shields, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: I don't mind signing! If we have to study he might as well get to tutor us too right. Or me. It's probably me. T_T
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Darien Shields group texts:
Ahahaha. I already told him I wouldn't because my grades are better than his, but I GUESS
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Darien Shields, and Chiyo Sakai), Koji Silvia (Koji) group sends: Any chance to earn a favor is a chance I believe should be taken. Right Chiyo?
From afar (to Usagi Tsukino, Koji Silvia, and Darien Shields), Chiyo Sakai (Daifuku) group
texts: It's okay, Usagi-chan! I'm not a *great* student myself. Just not too bad. Of course, Koji-kun! It's always good to help friends.
Long distance to Usagi Tsukino, Chiyo Sakai, and Koji Silvia: Darien Shields texts: Cool. See you all tomorrow then!
