hey, toshi

just so you know, I'm adding somebody to the staff. friend of anya's, seems like a decent guy and he can do the work, so be nice, alright?

[like that's ever a problem with toshi-- but that's exactly why he says it anyway.]

[arahoushi]

Start hazing preparations, got it

[Toshi no]

Actually, I'm just surprised you trust anyone other than you to mix the drinks.]

misfires time

[doublesmall]

[he really shouldn't still drunk text his ex, but when has that ever stopped him? chuuya still just keeps doing it-- except this time, it doesn't make it to the intended recipient.]

hey

hey where are you

I'm bored you should come over

[thank god for autocorrect, the only reason this is so coherent]

[arahoushi]

[ok but why is he getting a late text message from his boss though?]

The bar?

[He said he was bored but....maybe Chuuya needs some heavy lifting help.]

action, 4/4!

[sharplydressed]

[SO. Is Toshi going to take initiative and go check out some polishes at the store for himself? Because if so, it's his lucky day! The manicure guru is there, browsing through what appears to be a fresh shipment of product - new, most likely, considering the fancy display they're propped up on. Something about prisma-colors, multifaceted pigments, long-wearing shine, yada yada.

It's a good thing no one else is in this area right now, since he's been standing in front of the display for like ten minutes straight, waffling back and forward between two very similar shades of red...]

Oh— [But he's still aware of his surroundings! And when he spots Toshi, whether he's here for some sweet purple polish or just popped in to grab some disturbingly fresh produce.] Hey! How've your oranges been treating you? We're lucky nothing else has grown a face yet, huh?

[He's also got a bokuto bag slung over his shoulder, which he hasn't worn in Literal Years, but doesn't seem to be paying it mind. ...Or maybe it's more accurate to say he's aggressively ignoring its presence.]

[arahoushi]

[ACTUALLY yes, yes he is, because his hands feel kind of weird now that he remembers claws but no way is he growing his nails out and the White-Out manicure he put on himself a few hours ago a) looks bad and b) is already peeling off, so it's time for Toshi to channel his inner high school goth and Paint It Black (not sorry).

But yikes there are. A lot of colors. There are multiples of each color.

This is unexpectedly complicated. :C]

Oh! Hey there! [Ok, he wasn't expecting to see Kashuu here, but he's also not surprised to see Kashuu here.] Lucky nothing else has grown a face and lucky they don't talk. It's weird enough with the wiggling!

[He picks up a little bottle of-- oh god, that is extremely bright orange, do not let him get that-- of nail polish and gestures with it at Kashuu's shoulder.]

Didn't know you practiced.

[doublesmall]

toshi

I want to talk to you about something

the memory hallucination shit specifically

you wanna come over, or

[arahoushi]

what, you had another one?

can't leave my place, cooking dinner. come to mine?

[stopbleeding]

she's back. why didn't you tell me she was back?

[He goes to the bathroom for a few minutes and now he's coming back out to his own personal elderly fan. Could have at least texted him a warning, bro. At least she hasn't noticed him yet. He thinks.]

is she looking this way?

[arahoushi]

who
oh you mean your lady friend
she asked if you were working tonight, i told her you'd say hi

voice

[seeker]

[sometime after this.

She sounds a little shell-shocked, when the voice does kick in. It's the voice of someone who is freaking out and trying, with varying levels of success, to remain calm.]

Hey, so.

It's Alison. Sobeck. We barely know each other, so it seems like a bad choice to have a heart-to-heart, but you said I could hit you up whenever a vision got to me, so... [A humorless little laugh, more a burst of air through her teeth than anything else.] I'm hitting you up.

[arahoushi]

[Okay, wow, he wasn't actually expecting any kind of call and certainly not this soon. He's just going to double check the name and--yep. Yep, that is a familiar name.]

Hey, I remember offering. You want to do this face to face or are you feeling a little too shaky for that?

[Sometimes people don't want to be seen when they're rattled, and she sounds pretty rattled in his opinion. Better to leave this one in her hands.]

probably like 8/6, 8/7

[doublesmall]

toshi?

hey, are you ok, wherever the fuck you are

where ARE you anyway

[arahoushi]

hey boss
i'm okay don't worry
i'm in one piece anyway

just taking a nap right now, it's been a crazy couple days

text, sometime b/w objective 1 and 2!

[sharplydressed]

[ie DEATH, COMING FOR TOSHI.]

how are you holding up so far over there? done clearing your place yet?

[Since at this point, he just assumes everyone is going through mostly The Same Struggle, just in different places.]

[arahoushi]

[If he survives this, it will only be because he's not dumb enough to give Kashuu all the details. Of course, he has to wake up first, so Kashuu gets to wait a couple hours before there's any kind of response.]

i feel like i spent the last week on the Space Explorer movie set
chrome
chrome everywhere

we made it through though

text;

[sharplydressed]

[IT'S THE DREAD TEXT COMING FOR YOU TOSHI, post-battle of course. Maybe they bumped into each other briefly during the fighting, maybe not, but EITHER WAY--]

where are you?

[arahoushi]

[NO HE DOESN'T WANT THIS TEXT]

not dead i swear
at my apartment

a couple days after the battle!!

[okitactless]

[HERE IS YAMS who has decided that sleeping for a week straight is not, in fact, a feasible course of action when you're also trying to check up on people. So some time shortly after all the chaos, he'll text Toshi, since apparently his phone is a Nokia that can survive going over a fucking waterfall.]

toshi
how are you doing is everything okay

[Very much to-the-point, but that's how Yasusada's always been, so.]

[arahoushi]

[yams how is your phone still alive]

still in one piece
kind of a miracle i thought kiyo was gonna kill me

[ur boyfriend got upgraded to a nickname, yams]

[thesettingsun]

Your boss is hard to shop for, but I think he's worth it even if he doesn't agree.

[...this was meant for Toshi, but he also meant the first part to come with it.]

[arahoushi]

ok both those things are true
why are you shopping for him though?

wait it's not his birthday is it? shit

misfired text;

[sharplydressed]

[Here Toshi have a misfired text at the prime breakfast-eating hour:]

have to make sure it's grape bc the rest just tastes like straight up rubber

[arahoushi]

am i talking to sober kashuu or drunk kashuu?
because it's really early to be talking to drunk kashuu
just saying

[doublesmall]

[there's a photo attached of a large, one-eared black cat... sitting on chuuya's couch.]

cute, isn't he? his name's rimbaud.

you wanna come meet him?

[arahoushi]

whoa when did you get a cat? i definitely want to see him i'm coming over

[Obviously he's coming over, he's not gonna miss a chance to see a cat, even one missing an ear. Which is why he's knocking on Chuuya's door a few minutes later.]
