You know what to do.

[After her date with Pyro, Audio]

[occulthymns]

Why did you lie about hot dogs?

[Yeah she actually checked that out. Good job ???]

[key_illusion]

It was funny.

[Yup, that's the only reason he's giving.]

[occulthymns]

No it wasn't! It was mean! I thought you were really serious!

[She takes dogs very seriously.]

[video, message]

[bulletwithmyname]

[the video starts with the bracelet focused on a piece of paper which has a line array written out on it, and then some text beneath. it stays that way for a bit more than half a minute, more than enough opportunity for ??? to take in everything on the paper. then ash murmurs obscure, and the text on the page seems to shiver and shift, becoming completely illegible. there's definitely something on the page, but it's definitely not familiar letters put together in familiar ways. when he repeats the word, the text returns to full legibility. after a few seconds, the video shuts off.

consider it the beginning of a thank-you.]

[key_illusion]

[A good trade then. ???'s quick to write down the array and notes. As much as he's fine with writing in binary, this will definitely be useful in the future.]

audio; D275

[wasthemaster]

What are you doing right now? [Don't worry bro, this isn't going to end like the last time where he followed you and clung everywhere.]

[key_illusion]

[He's actually worried about that, but at least he can keep it out of his voice.]

Not much. Just got done with some runes stuff. What's up?

[wasthemaster]

How do you feel about having company? Jade's hijacking my iPod and I assume that means she's kicking me out of the house.

[key_illusion]

Odin. It's closer to the cafe and has more space.

Day 300 audio

[occulthymns]

[It hasn't been long after Asgard's water poisoning, but Euri is in one of her stubbornly determined moods. She isn't back to feeling 100% quite yet, but since she got hit lightly by the poisoning she's already done a fair amount of recovering.

Which means she's well enough to feel worried. She hasn't seen ??? over the network since people got sick, and given their last meeting she isn't sure if his injuries somehow ended up making him more susceptible or what.

It isn't just that, though. She wants to clear the air between them, and when she was sick she had plenty of time to sit and stew over it until she's practically bursting at the seams.]

Hey. If you're around - can we talk? Are you doing okay?

[key_illusion]

[After coming back from his camping adventure in the woods with his animal companions, ???'s been out and about, slowly surveying the natives in the area with Telepathy. They weren't hit as hard as he thought, and he's already caught with news on the network. His clockwork journey around the districts has ended up in Baldr when Euri calls, and when he notices her message, he doesn't immediately respond. He has to walk off the sudden burst of irritation until it fades away once he dips his feet into the lake at a dock.

He really shouldn't keep her worrying with that last question hanging, so he finally calls Euri back:]

Sure. I'm fine too. I went on a trip when people started getting sick.

[Too bad he's still cursed in Sora's body.]

[occulthymns]

[... Damn, that's a smart solution. She wonders how many people would've gotten sick if people had left the city as soon as it started.

But she shakes her head to dismiss the idea, letting the relief that he's responding and okay flood her instead.]

That's good. Where are you? Do you want to come to the mushroom?

Day 308 - Intended for Roxy

[timaeus_testified]

We didn't get to see one another when shit hit the fan.
You better be alive after you told me not to die, or I'll be pissed.
I borrowed your never ending ice cream again, we're both so sick of the flavor I figured you wouldn't mind.

[key_illusion]

[Well hello there misfire. ??? is now completely jealous of that never-ending ice cream....Not that he can eat any, but still.]

If I somehow obtained any sort of never ending ice cream, I'd keep it on lockdown with lasers and padlocks. Where the heck do you get something like that?

[timaeus_testified]

Roxy won it during a contest between the houses.
We've been sharing it back and forth.

Day 308 :: Voice

[kuramaless]

Hey, Oi Sasuke--

Are y'there?

Man, this thing has been like stupid right? I think I accidentally touched that ice too much, my fingers still feel frozen.

We should go out for ramen, yeah? I'm gonna get Gaara to come too.

I'm coming over there now. I can see your house.

Er, yeah I'm here. You comin' down?

[key_illusion]

....I can't tell if you're talking to yourself or the network is splitting the input to two different receivers.

Also, go check in with the hospital or you're going to lose those fingers.

[kuramaless]

M'fingers're fine!

It's this stupid thing!

I only meant to send a message to Sasuke! I was right there outside his house, y'know?

DAY 308 | VIDEO

[lethechained]

[There's all sorts of interference in this, visual glitching and white noise and an unholy sort of screeching periodically, but it appears to be an attempt to record (photograph?) a drawing in a very familiar style, at first, then shifts up toward the flowers that are apparently the subject of said drawing before turning around to the artist herself, her brow furrowed and finger tapping the bracelet for a moment before the feed cuts out. It looks a heck of a lot more troubling than it should with all the errors.]

[key_illusion]

[While it may look like something from a horror film with all that feedback, ???'s able to watch calmly because he's aware of the glitches. ???'s sticking to audio, however. Maybe their conversation will be less glitchy that way. Also, he may or may not be sitting on his stolen motorcycle.]

Nice drawing. Is that what you've been up to recently?

[lethechained]

[-- Oh. The message comes as a complete surprise; she most definitely hadn't meant to send that to anyone. Still, there are definitely worse people it could have gone to. There's a smile in her voice all the same when she answers, also audio, this time.]

Thank you...! I didn't exp--- to have an audienc-. [There's a little bit of static, but at least for the time being things seem to be going through.] It's one the of th-ngs I've been up to, yes.

Day 308 - text

[historyrabbit]

[So...this was a misfire to Tyki. So sorry, manager man.]

Look, you bastard. Quit holding my eye-patch for ransom and just give it back!

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

[???'s turning on audio for this because he is thoroughly amused.]

I think I got enough to hold over your head that I don't need to kidnap your eye-patch, Lavi.

Day 308 - Intended for Sophie

[wasthemaster]

I'm freaking out. Beyond freaking out. Like climbing the walls and screaming and sobbing levels of freaking out. Again. If you lock me in a room with your shadows again I can't promise I won't self-destruct further.
I don't need you to kick my arse this time but I need to get over it. Suggestions?

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

[Wow, Draco, ??? doesn't actually know how to respond to this for a few minutes. Even then, it's tentative:]

How about talking it out? Even if you have to freak out while doing so.

[That's what happened to him and Lea, but he also remembers that going badly.]
