[ Sometime after this message, Ryouma will receive a suggestive photo of Izō's chest and stomach, his pecs teasingly exposed beneath a shirt held up with his teeth. The barest hint of pubic hair peeks out from the top of his underwear, a hint of what's below. ]

another one for u

[kaientai]

You work fast.

[ is what he hastily types in to avoid the stop and start he's been doing for the last couple of minutes trying to recover from this. maybe he didn't expect to get one directly — at least not right away??? not that ryouma is complaining it was just opening up a thirst trap in full colour he didn't expect. ]

(Sometime after the Night Parade and when Hizen has had some time to rot in recovery,)

are you dead

[kaientai]

I wasn't, last I checked.

[ being annoying is a choice. ]

[heretic_blade]

[ Shortly after the night parade incident, Ryouma will get a mildly panicked phone call. ]

You better be alive or I'm gonna find your body and kill you again.

[kaientai]

[ the severity of the threats means he cares... ]

No need to do that! Sorry if I made you worry, Izō.

time for The Talk

[heretic_blade]

u mind if i come over right now? got something i wanna talk to u about.

privately.

[kaientai]

[ uh oh??? ]

I don't mind! I'll be here waiting for you.

[ he's sure this is fine. ]

text; un: hitokiri

[heretic_blade]

im back

u up?

[kaientai]

Yeah i am. WHere are you??

[ considering he replies instantly (was he just watching his phone??) it's obvious he typed this in a rush. ]

un: gohan

[harimaya]

Oi.

(That's it. That's the text.)

[kaientai]

[ boy, hizen and izō really are just the same picture sometimes. ]

Hizen! How are you doing? It's good to hear from you!

post bird attacks.

[medicative]

Mr. Sakamoto, are you well?

[read: my dude, we are in it now.]

[kaientai]

If by "well" you mean no one's found me and killed me yet then yes.

id steer clear of majima for awhile if i were u. he aint gonna play nice right now.

[kaientai]

Oh? What's he got to be upset about?





I'm not going to. Don't trust myself not to say something I shouldn't.

text, sometime before nishitani's party

[heretic_blade]

nishitanis throwing a party and i got a +1

wanna come? i mean its fuckin dangerous for u and i aint gonna be ur babysitter all night, so u dont gotta come or nothing

[kaientai]

Yes! I can look after myself just fine!

[ nothing at all would deter him from accepting this invitation that he is surprised and absolutely delighted to receive. ]

text; un: didnot.

[bratherine]

whys toraguma want you dead

[kaientai]

He's not a fan?

action; you know what this is / cw: underage drinking

[bratherine]

( It's Ryouma she goes looking for once she wakes up, head pounding and nausea coming in violent waves.

... Okay, so she throws up a whole load of nothing first, and cringes at the empty bottles littering her trash heap of an apartment, but THEN she finds Ryouma. Because...

Well. Because it's kind of Ryouma's fault this fight happened, and also because the things he said last time their conversation skated in this direction were all too much like things she's thought herself, but on a grander scale.

As a testament to her hangover, when she enters his office? She uses a door. )

... Hey.

( She looks like hell. )

[kaientai]

[ she's caught him in the middle of having some tea and doing whatever else, and he manages not to choke on it despite the surprise. he doesn't expect her to look like... that. ]

... What happened?

[ because something clearly did. he opens one of his desk drawers, setting out a bottle of your basic over-the-counter painkillers and a little bottle. they sure do cure bullet wounds in the game, but in reality, they'll probably give you some electrolytes and shit?? ryouma knows a hangover when he sees one and is prepared! ]

Voice;

[threateningly]

Sakamoto-san... Could I persuade you to pay me a late-evening visit?

[He's being formal and also he sounds vaguely raspy and tense. Hm...]

[kaientai]

[ this is a perfectly normal call to receive. ]

I can't claim to be doin' anything particularly productive that should keep me from agreein' to it. [ he's drinking. ] Is everything alright?

[ he doesn't want to assume, although he recognises that sannan sounds tense. ]

august.

[medicative]

May I ask for your assistance with something? The next day you're free and rested.

[kaientai]

[ free? yes. rested? debatable. ]

Of course! What's up?

text;

[heretic_blade]

[ A message he deletes and retypes a thousand times over. It's too needy, it's too much, it's not enough.

In the end, he settles on two words. ]

u busy?

[kaientai]

Not at the moment.

[ which may or may not be the truth, but he stands by what he said about always making time. ]

What's up?

[medicative]

[so you know how they hang out and now Ryouma is allowed to come to her apartment and they probably are doing friend type things? one of those things is making sure Ryouma eats to maintain his energy and so they're probably getting something from a street stall, her walking back to hand it over, when she drops the thing she knows he'll hate.]

You can't come to the wasteland, Ryouma. When the boss tells us to go out, you need to stay in the city.

[kaientai]

Aw, why the hell not?! I started this; it only makes sense that I finish it!

[ of course, he hates this, being all mentally prepared for this adventure. because that's what it is!! but he also feels responsible for all this happening in the first place, so naturally, ryouma is prepared to see it through himself. ]
