[It's been about a month since this weird, glitchy-looking styled message has appeared on the network, but here he is again. But instead of a list of quiet, seemingly random questions, it's a pretty legible question.]

There are people here from different sorts of worlds, with different sorts of abilities, and experiences that border on the supernatural.

The longer I'm here, sometimes I find it hard to believe this is anything more than a strange dream, or something along those lines.

I understand science and machinery. I don't understand the supernatural, only in the sense of Videogames and Science Fiction.

If you have abilities or experiences that are different from this 'normal' I understand...

Tell me about it.

Your magic, your reality, supernatural creatures or abilities...

I'm interested in that.

Why? You really need me to spell it out for you?

[ Sheesh, how dense can you get? ]

Maybe I want them to take pity on me for having such a weirdo for a boyfriend.

[He doesn't really need the other to spell it out for him. Not REALLY, but...]

I don't get along with people.

You should know that best.

private

[bottombitch]

That may be true, but...

[ Is it selfish of him to want his friends to meet Noiz, hopefully look past that brusque exterior and see the man he loves? To crave, just a little, for Noiz to meet new people and see the good qualities that he sees in the new friends he's made?

Maybe just a little. ]

You got along with Ozymandias just fine and he's insufferable, you'll be fine.

He's like a video game character. If you treat him like an NPC, he's easy to understand.

[There you have it. The whole reason he manages to 'get along' with Ozymandias. Because he doesn't see him as a real person.]

Just tell me when you want to invite them over, then, I guess.

I'll clean up.

[bottombitch]

...Haah, you're really hopeless sometimes. I'll just consider you a WIP.

[ THIS FACE, not that Noiz can see it. Although he could always... you know... walk into his room instead of being a nerd and texting him. Fucking millennials ]

Just like that project - how's it going on your end? Need me to salvage for anything specific?

...A WIP...

[You can almost HEAR this in his tone, a quiet, almost confused sigh that it's said with. But he doesn't seem too insulted, at the same time--and he accepts it. Aoba's not really wrong, after all.]

I almost have everything set up, it's ready to test on a bigger scale.

I just need to make a few more block projectors to set it up to be played anywhere in the city.


[A pause, and then one of the oddest things he's said to Aoba:]

You've been doing a good job bringing what I've needed so far.

['Thank you'.]

private

[bottombitch]

Heeeh?

[ It's an incredible project, one that Aoba's already feeling restless and impatient to see in action. The closer it gets to completion, the more wound up he seems to get. Playful, too, just like an excited kid. ]

Was that gratitude I hear, Noiz?

...

Can you 'say it plainly'?

private

[bunnyblock]

[.......

Does Aoba really think...

No, there's no point in holding anything back. He replies, savagely:]

I couldn't have done this without you.

private

[bottombitch]

[ Don't mind him while he just... takes a screenshot. Dear diary, today Noiz said 'thank you' in his own way... ]

Hmm, close enough. Thank you for all your hard work. ☆
