1. I'm not dead yet. So if you've planned on burying me already, cancel your plans.

2. Your recent nanomachine problem isn't my problem, sucks to be you if you've been infected with them. If you wake up tomorrow morning feeling and looking a little more like a corpse, then maybe I'll consider taking a look.

you came back
wait how long has it been anyway
i feel like it's been months

you should really make a personal visit to your important friends
especially a certain someone
(^=˃ᆺ˂) <= (this is a cat and also a hint)

he's been even edgier than usual
so please go cheer him up
he might even smile

un: ny4n THIS SLANDER also sorry not sorry for all these threadjacks

[nyahilistic]

seragaki from the last encounter i had with you i would think you would know
but i guess i have to inform you
i am tragically incapable of smiling

[He's definitely, 100% smiling.]

[bottombitch]

sounds fake but okay

is it true
you immediately went to see him
that's really unlike you
it's sounds like it was a touching reuinion

[ if you call trying to punch someone affection, that is... ]

karamatsu told me he was your important friend
could it be that he's 'that' kind of special friend

[nyahilistic]

you sound fake

[That is the absolute weakest comeback ever, Ichimatsu.]

in my defense i had shit of his he wanted
like the mask he wears all the time because people don't like looking at people's faces rotting off
go figure

also congratulations you've renewed my interest in murdering my brother
hope you actually took my advice and decided you loved him and had a hideous blue honeymoon
he isn't long for this world

[bottombitch]

don't be like that
after all you only have yourself to blame
I just put a few things together mostly based on your own actions

tbh I don't think karamatsu gets it

I mean
who carries someone's mask around this long

[ Aoba says, knowing full well whose knitted hat he's still got in a drawer. ]

[nyahilistic]

it's my default setting
i've recently decided to tolerate him and now you've ruined it
what do you have to say for yourself

he doesn't get much of anything

probably someone who is left with it and decides it's best not to get rid of someone else's belongings
but i see you're still making assumptions like you know me, regardless

[Reaper having been his soulmate or otherwise, Aoba's continued assumptions are not received well.]

it's my turn to embarrass the shitty kitty

[glitterpants]

It is rather cute you did hang onto it if i can interject... returning someone's belonging is very kind.. but also it makes me think you kept it safe because you were hoping he would come back.

Ichimatsu i'm so proud of you. :)

SCREECH

[nyahilistic]

what the fuck is with you people like if someone leaves you something are you just gonna throw it away isn't that kinda rude
and hoping, sure
not exactly believing, hence why i'm mad as hell you and osomatsu were right about that but hey
one of us has to be a realist and it's sure as hell not gonna be you

yeah yeah okay enough already 🐾

[bottombitch]

[ Aoba agrees completely. If he doesn't want people coming to these kinds of conclusions about him, he should guard his actions more carefully fufu~ ]


it's so touching and cute
i didn't expect it but it turns out
ichimatsu is the best friend a ghost could ask for
i'm so happy for you both ♥

[nyahilistic]

i will make good on my vague threat to punch you from the other day so help me

[He's only kind of mad, really. Stop teasing the tsundere he might explode.]

[bottombitch]

idk man
from the sounds of it
your punch game is real weak
the way reaper described it
it was like you were just batting at a piece of string

c u t e

[nyahilistic]

do us both a favor and fuck off a little

[bottombitch]

[ NAAAAAH ]

did you aggressively headbutt him
be honest

[glitterpants]

_{[ oh god he's seen this a million times.. but also ???? he feels the need to interject here too.. ]}
Ah ichimatsu.. dont be rude.
We are just giving you a hard time.. it isnt everyday you have a friend that i can tease you about. I promise i wont give you *too* much trouble about it.. hah.

_{[ and then: ]}
Aoba-kun.. i'm not sure how familiar you are with ichimatsu but it takes a good decade or two to tease him like that. It is worth the wait though! Ichimatsu is warm and kind once you get to know him.
_{[ He's seen Ichimatsu act otherwise so many times and he wishes Ichimatsu could show that side to people more easily. ]}

[hellshot]

Months, weeks, days.
Can't really begin to make a timeline.
Didn't really go home, but I wasn't here.

That aside. 'Important friends' is a bit of a stretch.

But you needn't worry about the stupid cat.
He's already paid me a visit, and made a few attempts at punching me in the gut.

[bottombitch]

idk man
ichimatsu isn't the kind of guy who just does that sort of thing to just anyone

in all seriousness
he seems pretty lonely

what happened to you anyway?

[hellshot]

Lonely, huh.

[Yeah, that's probably the way Ichimatsu is. But saying that one way or the other isn't really Reaper's business. Not for now, at least.]

Hard to explain. Especially if you don't know too much about me. Or what I am.

Think the best way to describe it is I 'stopped' for a while.

[bottombitch]

'stopped'
you mean like a machine?

are you saying you're a robot or something

[hellshot]

I don't know.

[It's an honest answer.]

I'm definitely not something like anyone else. Had a lot of doctors mess around with my body in the military, the result is what I am now.

A ghost. A cloud of nanomachines. Who even knows if there's anything 'human' left.

[bottombitch]

[ Funny enough, this isn't the most 'out there' thing he's heard here. At least this one he understands. ]

seriously?

so you're just a collection of nanomachines?
did they go haywire and you lost cohesion or something
are you okay??

[hellshot]

[...Colour him surprised, of all things, he didn't expect this guy to understand complicated machinery. Huh.]

That's exactly what happened. At least, that's as far as I can figure. Felt sick for a while, kept falling apart and splitting at the joints. Figured something was wrong, and then I woke up at the portal again.

The date they told me was far different from the date I remembered.

Far as I can tell, I'm fine now.

[bottombitch]

[ This kind of technology is out of his reach skill-wise but he knows about it. ]

fine now?
but you really don't know do you?

hey um i know we're not close but
i figure i couldn't ask someone who would worry a lot about me to go to the clinic
so maybe
if you're okay with it
we can go together

i mean it's worth getting yourself checked out right?

[hellshot]

[Hah. He can't help a sickly wide grin--because right on the nose; no, he doesn't know. But hey, you're the first one to call him out on it.]

No idea, kid. Know jack shit about the bullshit that's going on with what's left of this body.

Kind of strange to offer to go to a clinic with someone you don't know well.
Even weirder when you don't know what kind of person I am.

As for that last bit...

I ain't fond of doctors.
I hate them. To put it in a finer way.

And none of them can figure out what's wrong with me.

[bottombitch]

well you're friends with ichimatsu so you can't be all that bad

[ Aoba's too-trusting nature has landed him with rather dubious types like self-professed yakuza members Trip and Virus and domestic terrorist group leader Mink so... this is just the sort of idiocy you can expect from him. ]

ah ok
sorry
i think that sort of experience would really freak me out

[hellshot]

...
Still figuring that out.
'Friends'.

People like me don't make friends.


As for that last bit.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't freak me out.
Difference is--once you die more than once, the possibility of dying again stops being such a bad thing.
You start to get used to it.
