Hello, how may I help you?
Is there treasure at those coordinates?
...Did you borrow my handcuffs?
[ What's going on? At least they both have a sense of humor. ]

That makes all of MTC now, doesn't it? Congratulations. ☺
Also, I received the address and I'm happy with it.
The menu looks tasty. I want to eat the one with the cherrywood bacon.

hey man you awake??
just had the most fucked up dream and now i can't go back to sleep
[ this was clearly meant to go to one of Josuke's friends and not Jyuto, but he's too groggy to check usernames and phone numbers right now ]

How awful, perhaps you should listen to some music to take your mind off of it.
I'm awake, but may I ask who is texting me? This number isn't in my contact list.

Glad it got to you safely.
It's been a while.
I think we should talk, I owe you an apology face-to-face.

 You have a delivery!! [ A little present addressed to Jyuto will be delivered on the eve of before the winter celebrations, that includes a collection of handmade incense, an elegant music box in the style of an orchestrion and a little hand-sewn rabbit charm! ] - "May they help you keep your focus. I hope you'll have the most dazzling starlight." - Megumi♥" |
[ A tiny fox kit will deliver this, wherever the recipient will be staying. It's a magic familiar, after all! ]
[ Delivered to Jyuto is a beautiful set of handmade sweets, each containing a flower embedded within them. They look like little jewels, and are edible! He'll also get a little lamp, one that can dispel any glamours if held up to them- yes he'll know with the instructions written for it! ]

you're taking the moon knight exams soon, aren't you?
Yes, they're on the 30th.
Were you going to try and take them yourself?
Someone who owes me a favor may be able to get you a reservation, you only have to ask.

jyuto, i'm genuinely sorry.
i can't meet you after all. at least, not for today and the next few days.

[ This is unusual. Kogami doesn't seem the type of person to cancel so close to a meeting. If it'd been anticipated, he'd likely have been contacted days sooner. Jyuto's quick to text him back. ]
It isn't a problem.
Is everything all right?
It isn't a problem.

[ it's tough being a wolf -- no opposable thumbs and all. but he's curled on the carpet of his apartment, settling in quietly. maybe he should pay jyuto a visit... ]
[ Almost just as the thought crosses Kogami's head, there's the tone of the doorbell ringing beneath Jyuto's index. Ironically, he had thought the same. Jyuto will wait before he hears shuffling, and only then state who he is. For now, his eyes are fixed somewhere on the door, wondering if Kogami may have stepped out and if his visit is all for naught. ]
Maybe only a few if you were to lodge them down its windpipe.
I think you have the wrong number, by the way.

[ For context! Samatoki, however, does not provide any ICly...
He texts Jyuto the name of one of the parks in Level 2, as well as a time. It's about twenty minutes past the time he set with Sasara. He's sure he doesn't need that much time to beat the guy up and leave him a mess, but Samatoki also knows this is going to be a fight that will leave him bloody and bruised. He's going to need someone to haul his ass away. It's not because he needs back-up, and he might hurt Jyuto all the same if he gets directly involved. ]

What happened?
[ But somehow, Jyuto knows he isn't going to get a reply. He's scheduled to be on shift during the time of Samatoki's message, but given the lack of any exposition or explanation, he knows that whatever's going on is probably important. It's unusual, and that's why Jyuto feels his gut sinking, a foreboding feeling unable to be shook.
He sighs and pockets the device. There's no point in waiting for a reply that won't come. What's a better way to make use of his time is to lace together an excuse to leave his station when the designated time rolls around, something easy that he's more than used to doing back in Yokohama. What's more? It always seem to be for Samatoki.
He eyes the ticking hands of the clock on the wall.
What a troublesome guy. ]

i've been thinking of the strawberries you fed me when i was a wolf.
You actually remember them?
I'm sorry if I sound surprised.
That day was so different than usual for us for obvious reasons.
I half expected things to be a figment of my imagination, like a false memory.

I hope Mitsu didn't startle you.
He's good at finding people!
My workplace is doing specials for something called a Lover's Day!
So I made some sweets I'd like to give to everyone.
And I thought of you!
I hope you like them!

Lady Kitsuno,
Thank you, I appreciate the gift.
If these were to have come from anyone else, I wouldn't believe that they were made by hand at all.
The craftmanship (is this word appropriate for chocolate? I'm not sure myself) is outstanding.
I want to eat them, but their presentation is so lovely that I almost feel as if I shouldn't.
Is your workplace a chocolatier or patissier?

[ The amount of noise that the octopi make during their mating ritual is alarming. Not because it's sex noises- that's somewhat embarrassing, but it's ultimately something that Riou can accept. However, he's not particularly sure how they've managed to have long-term species survivability given how much attention it draws. They seem extremely easy to hunt and he's not sure how their population is managing as well as they are.
Either way, Riou has obtained the flute. He's heard they're edible and wants to experiment with them to create new tasty dishes! While it may have been easier to have a partner with him, he didn't. Which meant that he had to draw the creature closer. Which meant that he played the flute a little too long, and got coated in white ink. Not the worst thing he's been covered in and he manages to get two of the octopi in his net, then into his ice chest.
So he makes his way home and gets them properly stored so he can cook then tomorrow. He showers, changes clothes, and goes about his day. Of course, it's not until sometime after dinner that he starts feeling... odd. His chest starts feeling like there's some kind of pressure inside. He takes whatever the prismatican equivalent of a Tums is, but it doesn't seem to go away. It stays like that for a good 30 minutes while he tries to wait it out, but he finds that his nipples have started to feel sore. Started to swell up a little so that they've been poking up against his shirt for some time now. It doesn't feel like he's dying or anything-- it feels like something's ready to burst out of him, actually, but truth be told, he doesn't know what's going on.
When in doubt, you can rely on friends, and that's what he chooses to do. Jyuto seems like someone who would be better equipped to handle this than Samatoki though (just as Riou would go to Samatoki for certain things he wouldn't come to Jyuto for as a first response), and so he walks across the hall and knocks on Jyuto's door, hoping he's home right now. ]

[ Jyuto is indeed home right now, and he has no idea what the fuck is about to happen. He isn’t aware that these octopi are all in season, that there’s a Test Driving Meme with wild lactation prompts going on in it or anything of that nature because he’s too fucking busy climbing the ladder of his career every damned day. He’s completely unsuspecting when he opens the door, eyes lighting up a little when it’s Riou there and not someone trying to sell him something. ]
Mm…? Is something the matter, Riou? [ It’s unusual for Riou to come over unprompted like this. Most of their meetings are somewhat preplanned, since Riou isn’t as inconsiderate and selfish as Samatoki is. ]

[Gaku hasn't been concerned about much lately, considering he's practically been in mourning, but a chance encounter with a rather forceful gaggle of fans that brought out the worst in him made him wise up quickly. He has to keep his head in the game in this business. He can't get distracted or overwhelmed, no matter how much the dull ache doesn't leave him.
Work is a blessing, not the weirdly cursed moonblessings, but something true and tangible he can use to put off thinking about reality. On camera, he's more dazzling than ever, sex appeal oozing from every pore. In magazines, he's lively and faux-candid, faker than even back home. On the radio, as he is today, he's spirited and engaging.
Still, he's relieved when the On Air sign turns off, and he can take a moment to breathe. The staff congratulates him on his upcoming single, he makes his polite thanks and excuses, then heads out into the studio foyer.
Where he almost runs flat into a suited man he'd forgotten about entirely.]
Shit.
[...Not very idol-like, Gaku.]
Sorry. The staff wanted to talk. Thanks for coming.

[ Smoking where he isn’t supposed to be, Jyuto frowns around his cigarette, stepping aside gracefully when Gaku comes into near collision. ]
Ah. [ The talent the idol agency had held concern for today, right. This isn’t the kind of work Jyuto is used to anymore. Grunt work feels a long time away, but it isn’t as if Jyuto’s so big-headed he isn’t humble enough to remember how he climbed higher in Yokohama. A stepping ladder he can recall. The two of them best get along. ]
It’s no problem at all. The broadcast is finished, I presume? Or are you on break? [ He moves to grind his cigarette out against the lid of a trash can, dropping the butt inside once its out. ] Pardon the smell, I lost track of time.
[ A flock of women have accumulated just out front the glass door, photographing Gaku through it with their smart devices. Jyuto smiles at them, and then angles himself to blockade the idol from sight, cucking them of any worthy shots; an inconvenient policeman body there and now hated. ]

Jyuto, are you nesting?
This message was sent to me in case you need it:
This message was sent to me in case you need it:
careful, iris! if you wash your nesting materials too often, it'll weaken your sanguis' scent! take care of your hormones and always re-scent your materials IMMEDIATELY after washing!
send this to 5 people you know to spread the message, or else your nesting materials will wash out!
Edited 2020-02-17 02:00 (UTC)
[ Nesting, expecting...? He doesn’t think so. He’s not even quite sure what it means. ]
I don’t believe I am.
Are all Iris supposed to have a designated Sanguis, according to this chain letter?
How is your nest faring, Riou?
[ He’s playing along, but the message itself seems like common sense. Washing materials of course washes out fragrance. ]

Iruma-san,
I hope you're doing well.
Pardon my forwardness, but I hadn't anyone that was able to explain when I asked them this,
(They end up laughing a lot and calling me cute... (๑◕︵◕๑) )
One of the customers at the shop has been talking to me every time he visits
And he said he was "going to put me on speed dial for a booty call"
So I said I'd help?
I'm assuming he means searching for treasure?
I've read about pirates on the sea!
I just don't understand why my colleagues keep saying I'm bold and cute for accepting
Treasure hunting isn't so bad!

Platinum and palladium are popular choices.
Are you considering the size of the rock, as well?
If you're asking me this for the reason that I think you are, big and flashy is always the way to go in that person's case.

[ Not really. But he can't let Kogami know that, or he'll definitely snoop around and take action. He doesn't trust that Kogami wouldn't be able to figure out what happened on his own. As much as he hates to lie to him, Jyuto has to put on his best front and pretend everything is all right is on his end. It'll only make things worse if he is truthful. ]
Hey. I'm well for the most part, but work has been a lot for me lately. I haven't been getting enough sleep at night.
