[The feed buzzes on to Ichimatsu looking boredly down with his hand resting on one fist, his other clearly setting the phone up to record. Despite how often he looks bored, this time he looks a little perturbed, as well, and he glances up at the phone after a while, shifting its view a moment later. It shows a large wooden chest, in the corner of a relatively nondescript room, and the inside of the chest is sectioned off into several segments, most of which are... filled with plants, be they dried or in seed form. He slowly moves the view across the entire chest, and then sets it back on a shelf, or a windowsill, where it can focus on him as he sets his cheek back against his fist.]
...so I've had this chest of plants for almost a fucking year now. I completely forgot about them, and all the labels are... burnt, it looks like. Somehow the plants are okay? They're weird space plants, they all do weird shit. I remember two of them, but not their names.
[A long silence, and he shifts to uncurl his hand and set his chin in his palm, instead.]
...guess I'm gonna be selling some weird space plant extracts once I figure out what they all do again. Anybody interested? Or, for that matter, anybody know anything about plants? Reaper, Karamatsu, you two remember these things?
[ooc; Ssssso these are plants Ichimatsu's had since he was in Eluvio. There was an event in that game where the ship visited a planet with seven districts based off the seven sins, and characters were allowed to harvest and keep flora from the districts. The moderation of that game has since locked the post with the actual names/effects of those plants, so I'll be working off memory for effects and making up new names, but the plants bear no actual resemblance to any other existing flora. Feel free to have any botany-smart people tell him as much! ...also hi I changed usernames.]

[He doesn't fully look at Reaper on the screen, smearing a hand over his face as he frowns exasperatedly, instead, at the plants.]
no subject
You know. The answer should be yes.
I am supposed to be the guy who remembers shit.
....
[a pause.[
Ira, Acadia, Superbia, Luxuria. That's all I remember.
Not the seeds. But the districts.
no subject
...Gula, Invidia and Avaritia were the other three. I had the names written down, but they're all burnt off. [A roll of his eyes and a shrug.] Guess I'll rename them. Wanna come help me figure out what they do again?
no subject
[There's a rumbling tone to his voice, almost mocking. But it's Reaper being Reaper--as usual.]
Might as well rename them. Not like you need shitty memories of that place.
[And then a long pause, settling on the other end of the video feed--you can almost hear the nanomachines shifting as he takes time to decide on an answer.]
Might as well. There were a few I was growing for myself back then, anyway. Might steal some from you.
no subject
[He's still frowning down at the chest while Reaper makes his decision about joining him or not, and there's the barest hint of a smile on his face when he does look back up.]
You liked the ones from... Superbia, I think it was. The ones that made you not a zombie. [And hot. You were definitely hot.]
no subject
Verailla. [The name comes back to him, all at once. Just one name, one plant.] One of the bushes in Superbia. Touched it, face turned normal.
Was growing that in my room, above all the other ones.
[Because he's vain and holy shit it made him look as if he'd never died.]
no subject
...this one, yeah?
no subject
...Might request you give me some of those so I can grow them for myself.
never uses any icon but this one apparently
[He sets the sprig aside, picks up a pen and starts to write, then pauses.]
...spell Verailla for me?
same if only because i ran out of icons again
Used to have one back when I worked for Talon. For my own purposes.
Guess I could lend you a favor in setting one up.
[You can almost HEAR him grin before he's sending the other a text with the proper spelling for the plant.]
me
Your own purposes. Sounds shady.
[He picks up the phone and reads off the text, writing the plant's name above where he keeps it in the chest.]
no subject
Look at who you're talking to.
Dictionary example of the word.
no subject
Drop by whenever you wanna-- have you even seen our new place yet?
no subject
Isn't it the place you had that ridiculous party set in.
[You know, the one where he picked you up and you almost barfed on him.]
Been a bit of a ghost lately but I remember.
no subject
[Trust him, he remembers. At least he didn't actually barf on you.]
no subject
Don't even remember you and those brothers of yours getting a new place.
[He's slipping into the same, old bad habits he had at Talon--keeping to himself, save for when Sombra dragged him out of his dark little corner. the worst.]
no subject
Then get your ass over here, the place is actually pretty nice.
[He's not judging, he's been there himself. He's not a sassy hispanic hacker, but he'll take the reins on dragging you out of your dark little corner. ...It'll only be to come to his own dark little corner, but at least then they can be in a dark corner together, or something.]
no subject
[A low, grumbled jab at him that is most certainly aimed to fluster the other before he lets the feed go dead.
It'll be about twenty minutes before he shows up--hardly bothering to knock and just floating into the house via a cracked window somewhere in the house.
Being a ghost *did* have its uses.
A single finger reaches forward as he materializes behind the cat-like man, prodding it in the direct center of the back of his neck.]
1.3 you're welcome
[He's sat comfortably in a sprawl in front of the chest, in a corner of the second bedroom of the house, leafing through said notebook and cross-referencing from plant to his scrawled, messy kanji and scribbled ink drawings in the notebook. He goes ever-so-faintly still just before Reaper touches him, tilting his head and almost starting to look over his shoulder, and then squawks and is approximately a yard away at the head of the bed in the spare room .2 seconds later, cat ears flattened to his head and tail poofed straight up behind him.]
