[You'd be surprised by how hard it is to set up a phone for a video post while sitting on a rebellious pre-teen who is a ten year old version of one of your five brothers-- but he won't tell you which. That, by the by, happens to be precisely what Ichimatsu Matsuno is doing at this particular moment, the feed kicking on to him frowning irritably at the screen with his hands clearly on either side of the device while he tries to make it stand upright.]

[When he sits back the scene gets a little stranger, because he is, in fact, sitting on a tiny version of what looks like himself if he ever brushed his hair and slept. He actually hisses at the boy beneath him and sits on him to prevent some of his wild flailing, and then glares back at the video feed.]

Can somebody tell me which Matsuno this little shit is? He's one of my brothers but inexplicably tiny and he won't tell me who he is.

_{[ Once Karamatsu finds out that Ichimatsu is trying to ask for help, he begins struggling some more, wiggling and beating his fists against Ichimatsu's thighs. He thought he was gonna fool Ichimatsu good, but if somebody finds out who he is, he'll be in trouble! ]}

You're too fat! I think I'm gonna die from being crushed!

[He rolls his eyes and flicks Karamatsu in the forehead, entirely uncaring.]

What of it? I like snacks. You're being dramatic, I'm hardly touching you.

[glitterkid]

You're kiiiiiLLLLLLLLIIIIIINNNG ME!
_{[ LOUDER SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR! Maybe that will bring somebody to help him. He writhes, rubbing his head once he is flicked, and if Ichimatsu does that again, he'll actually try to bite him. ]}

[finethanks]

Could it be? Is that Karamatsu-kun? He's the only one who's been here since you appeared just now, so it must be. ♪ Fufu, he's so cute and small.

[And a menace, he's sure, but he doesn't have to deal with it soooo...]

video, @nyan

[ichimyatsu]

Karamatsu? Oh, great, just what I needed. Has he always been tiny?

[finethanks]

Not like this. [What does that mean.] Before, he looked just like you. ♪ So, which brother are you, then? Do you recall the Eluvio, as well? I have a lot of questions, but it seems as though you have your hands full.

[glitterkid]

_{[ and then, in the background: ]}
Ewww.. who is that? Ichimatsu-niisan, you shouldn't talk to him.
_{[ ??? ]}

[finethanks]

[That rebelliousness is charming and reminds him of his Youth]

Karamatsu-kun has so much of my merchandise that I believe he may be one of my biggest fans here. It's so flattering, you know? But seeing him at such a young age with this level of spirit... I wonder how he became someone who could be stepped over so easily?

[He's talking to Karamatsu by talking about Karamatsu at Ichimatsu, this is fine.]

@dodger/video

[undeflective]

Well. I assume one of you is Karamatsu, seeing as that's the only one of you I've met. But things have been very odd lately, haven't they.

[Something in the back of his mind says Dodger will have a field day when all this is fixed.]

@nyan/video

[ichimyatsu]

Great, looks like the consensus is Karamatsu. I'm Ichimatsu, for the record, there's six of us in total if this idiot hasn't told you.

[undeflective]

Well.. nice to meet you, I suppose. I'm one of your brother's friends... I remember him mentioning you when we first met.

[This is a simplified version of events... but Dodger considered them friends, and Jamie will give his counterpart that.]

A lot of us have been affected by something from Taako's world... it seems he's become a child for a while. I'll be happy to lend a hand with him if you need it, it's the least I can do.

[hellshot]

Look at that. Another little shit arrived.

Can't say I've met that little brat yet, but if he's being affected by the chalice like a bunch of us are, then it's Karamatsu.

video: un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

Excuse you.

Affected by th-- holy shit, Reaper?

[He almost forgets about Karamatsu entirely, leaning forward to look closer at his screen.]

[hellshot]

Excuse nothing. You're a little shit and we both know it.

And don't you start with that, too.

It's Reyes. Gabriel Reyes. Not 'Reaper.'

[maskerading]

One that's about to suffocate to death, from the looks of things.

[ So no he doesn't know the answer. ]

[ichimyatsu]

Nah, he'll be fine. Nice username.

[maskerading]

[ Yeah, probably. Sibling quarrel and all, it seems. ]

—Oh, thanks. I was out of ideas when I made it.

[exfine]

Ah-- Karamatsu-kun? But wait, one of you? You mean there's more?

video; un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

We're sextuplets-- [A grunt, and he ducks briefly out of the video feed to press his weight into Karamatsu's shoulder to keep him still.] So, yeah. Six in all.

[exfine]

That sounds like a handful... You two really do look similar, even with the age regression. It's cute, in a way.

video, un: j.k.

[aeturnus]

[ Thank goodness this is a day before the chalice gets to him too ]

Matsuno-kun? Rather, Karamatsu-kun if you're new here. [ He smiles, amusement more than any kind of worry because he's already noticing whatever details he can in order to tell the two apart. Facial features, demeanor, vocal cues, whatever. He's got a twin himself, he knows how it goes. ] Which brother are you? And can I talk to him?

video, un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

[Ichimatsu's hair is a mess, his eyes are always lidded, he always looks tired, and he never talks above a mumble. Thankfully, Karamatsu and Ichimatsu are basically two of the easiest to tell apart. He chuffs softly, reaching out to nudge his device to show Karamatsu pinned to the ground beneath him.]

I'm Ichimatsu, and Shittymatsu Jr. here has been outed by enough people that I'm pretty certain it's right. Here, brat, you've got a message.

[aeturnus]

[ Ah... brotherly love. ]

Right, Ichimatsu-kun. Oldest brother?

[ He kind of hopes not but the name... ]

[flowlikewater]

[ Genji's making quite the stink face. ] Brothers? And I thought I had a handful with just one.

@nyan; video

[ichimyatsu]

Unfortunately there's a grand total of six of us, I'm not pleased about it either.
