(he's fucking sick. the joys of loving and being loved in return, and also, merely thinking that he's not loved back. absolutely thrilling.

he hates this. big means that leaving his home is being very hard, and he's breaking out fevers, having difficulty breathing, and much worse than he has been in his life. that says something.)

looking for errand people. will pay accordingly.

p.s.: my little sister used to read stories about the whole coughing flowers situation. it's called hanahaki. something something, one-sided love, get that person to love you or die trying but literally? i don't remember much else. the younger japanese people might know better.

what do you need taken care of?
happy to run into town and help out

[invinciblemikey]

... sweets. get me sweets.

(healthy nutrition who)

[windsongs]

[ Oh my god. ]

candy? pastries? dried fruit?
or do you have something else in mind?

[invinciblemikey]

ill pay you more if all sweets are red bean.

[windsongs]

red bean huh? I'll remember that! 😊

not sure how easy it is to get out here
there are a lot of us from Japan but supplies are limited
but sure, sounds like a fun challenge! usually I just do western sweets but I can try something more traditional

[invinciblemikey]

it's my favorite. how much you aimin for hibi?

a lot? from my knowledge it's... not-single soulmate i forgot his name, you, me, takemitchy, baji, tora...

there's more?

[windsongs]

[ Not-single soulmate....... ]

it's Kaito
and there are a couple others that I've met but I'll let them introduce themselves
but don't worry about payment. this one's on the house~

[invinciblemikey]

... is it

... did you end up finding anyone with the same tattoo as me? speaking of.

i'm paying you, hibi.

text; un: keith

[spaceassassin]

[ keith could be mikey's errand boy~ ]

what kind of pay

[ – for the right price, that is ]

[invinciblemikey]

name your price and we talk

[windsongs]

I mean I guess you can call him something else but

the same tattoo... would that be Baji maybe?
Kazutora said he was part of the gang and told me what he looks like but I haven't met him yet

ok ok pay whatever you think it's worth!

[spaceassassin]

hard to set a price when i don’t know the errand

[invinciblemikey]

pick up food, beverages, drugs, and go shopping on my behalf. that's about it for you

-> private

[invinciblemikey]

koi like the fish

baji was toman's captain under my command. he's been dead for... 13 years? 14 years? 15 years? he's not bonten.

i'll... give you a drink.

un: warder

[heavenstorn]

[ Is that really what the 'harvest curse' is? Time to start paying more attention to the tickle in his own throat, apparently... ]

Able and willing. What do you need?

private

[windsongs]

[ Well he does have water powers... ]

tell me how he likes the new nickname!! 😊

and Baji's here too huh? is that everyone from toman that's in the netherworld?
did he die before or after bonten?
obviously you don't need to answer, just trying to work out the timeline

a drink would be a bad idea, I don't do great with alcohol

[ aka she's an ultra lightweight. ]

[invinciblemikey]

a pick up in mirth, got laundry to deliver and pick up, need groceries, that typa shit.

[invinciblemikey]

... i don't remember what he looks like to go call him anything

(kinda bullshit. he just wants to embarrass her in the process of describing him. great older brother)

as far as i know. he died way before bonten. shitty that you're japanese and don't know about it

i'm on tv like all the damn time

neither do i. something something tiny something something metabolism whatever

[heavenstorn]

Is there aught else?

[ He's not being a smart ass he's genuinely asking... ]

It's no bother for me to come to you if the details are better given in person.

[windsongs]

really? I mean I guess you only met him once...

[ Don't tell her about the Murder. ]

there are people from a couple different Earths here, it just means we aren't from the same world
boten and toman don't ring a bell. most of what I'd hear about in the news involved turf disputes and people randomly getting caught in the middle of it
there were a couple active groups but they weren't boten or toman

[ Hibki pauses, staring down at her phone. Does she trust him enough with this information? Technically, it's what drew her to reach out to him in the first place, before she realized they were from different Earths, so-- ]

I was actually looking into one before I woke up here
that wasn't what took me out, before you ask

[invinciblemikey]

still lame, man.

looking into a gang? oh, hibi. what fucking for

you were plannin to join or somethin

[invinciblemikey]

that'll be it. there ain't much.

you'll be okay, i'm sure.

(and 'in person' is also kinda iffy. he's sick. he's not letting strangers see it.)

cw: brief mention of suicide

[windsongs]

no
I lost my mom when I was a teenager and the reason the cops gave never sat right with me
said she killed herself because she owed a debt or something. it was all speculation of course
usually you can't ask the dead what happened unless you know who to talk to

stupid I know
but I finally got some info on what might have happened and I had to rule that out

[invinciblemikey]

... how honest do you want me to be, biki?

we can talk, but i'm not sure i'm the person you want to talk to about this. not for my sake, but for your own.

[windsongs]

I want to know what happened
so be as honest as you have to be
