[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!

[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...]

@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.]

[ichimyatsu]

[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.

video, @nyan

[ichimyatsu]

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

@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.

[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.

[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.

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.]

i'm so sorry for his language ngdfvfn

[ichimyatsu]

Hot shit, this guy has friends? If he's mentioned me anything he's said is probably a lie, I'm actually awful and detestable, Karamatsu just likes to see the good in anything that breathes.

[A beat, and he scrunches one eye nearly closed leering down at Karamatsu.]

...I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad it should only be temporary. We were fuckin' hellions as kids.

[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.'

[glitterkid]

_{[ He hears that lend a hand part and lets out a big groan. Then, some protest off screen: ]}

No more grown ups! You're not even related to me, so why should you even help..!?

[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. ]}

[ichimyatsu]

[He pulls the sleeve of his sweater over his hand and shoves it into Karamatsu's mouth.]

Shut up, would you? The adults are talking.

video; @meow

[maskerading]

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

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

[glitterkid]

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

[ichimyatsu]

[He sits back on Karamatsu a bit to keep him still, but looks genuinely pleased in his tired deadpan way. He might even be smiling.]

I'm a bigger shit than this little shit, is this actually Karamatsu but tiny?

[A beat, and he looks a little confused, but registers the difference in appearance-- for one he's not creepy and smoky and wearing a mask, so there's something going on that has him different, too, probably. He shrugs, nodding.] Reyes, Reaper, close enough. Gabe okay? Gabriel's way too damn hard to say.

video; @ny4n

[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.

[hellshot]

At least you got enough gall to admit it. And looks like it, unless another one of you six showed up and fell under my radar.

[He gives his head a shake.]

Gabe's fine. It's what anyone who ain't part of my sect calls me anyway. I'll let you get away with it for now, since you clearly look like you could use a break.

[Points... to the child.]

Looks like you'll have your hands full.
I hate brats.

[ichimyatsu]

Ehh, not gall, I'm just not gonna lie about being a piece of shit. No point in holding myself to any standards, you know. God I hope not, if there's more than one kid I will actually die.

[Somewhere in this he stuffed part of his sleeve into Karamatsu's mouth to shut him up, but for the most part he actually seems to be handling him pretty well, despite all odds.]

Gabe, then. I've got my hands more than full but from the sound of it it's temporary, so I guess I'll have Glittershit back whenever this wears off.

[Karamatsu probably bites him, and he makes a choked sound of protest.]

...hopefully sooner, rather than later.

[ichimyatsu]

[A constant state of, honestly. He's just not used to dealing with any of them being younger to this extent.]

Cats are a completely valid username resource, honestly.

[maskerading]

Well—I can't argue with that. I do like cats.

[ And so does this guy, evidently. ]

[ichimyatsu]

Same. No clue on Brat King 2000 here though, yeah?

[maskerading]

No, sorry. I don't know anyone by the name Matsuno. [ But this does make him wonder— ] You can't tell who your own brother is?
