You're the one cooking with a hot plate and living off cafeteria food. I say it's a measured amount of faith.

Aw thanks Rean! Though you don't have to worry about moving the bed! The frame and mattress both came with this apartment. You can't get it out even if you tried.

[....]

Don't say it.

[This apartment really is hell and he knows it]

Hey, the meal plan's already paid for! It'd be a waste not to eat there, right? Besides, if you're careful, there's plenty of stuff that won't give you food poisoning and actually tastes pretty good.

[Rean's player regrets to add that this is precisely what their own university cafeteria was like. And also, that they'd still willingly go back and eat there, because the alfredo pasta really was good.

Anyway, as for the rest of that... Rean just stares at his phone for a good long moment, then replies.]

All right, so, no moving the plywood board you're probably sleeping on, got it.

I will instead start setting aside a fund to buy you a real bed, and once we can get that for you, I'll help you move that in. Sound like a plan?

[sflksdf REAN]

Uh, should there really be a risk for food poisoning...?

[!!!]

What?! You don't have to buy me a bed!

[Its not like you're gonna sleep in it!! I mean-]

Ask Kaisou U, not me.

Well, what else are you going to sleep on? Besides, all my stuff is paid for. I just do odd jobs to keep myself occupied, really.

Well, I can still turn into a cat....so I was planning to just get one of those cheap cat beds until I could save up enough for a real one.

In other words, I'm covered!

[....Yeah. Great plan there Elliot]

...

Yeah so anyway I'm definitely at least helping you buy you a real bed.

Oh c'mon it's a good idea!!!

[No it's not]

Fine! But I'm paying you back! And I'm setting a budget!

It's a terrible idea for your back in human form!

Fine. I can work with that. Even if it's a cheap mattress, it's gotta be better than plywood or a cat bed.

True, I guess I do shift sometimes in sleep without meaning to.

[If you think bed hair is bad, imagine waking up as a furry]

Alright. Thank you, Rean.

Yeah. I do, too. Both ways... I've tried sleeping as a cat before, because I just couldn't get comfortable one night. Good news, I got comfortable. Bad news, I woke up in a really weird position and as a human.

You're welcome.

Haha, yeouch! That must've hurt. And it's too bad too, because I bet you all curled up as a cat looks really cute.

[Look you can say it when you are also cursed]

Eh... you think? I guess I've never really thought about it.

[It's fine, Rean's too dumb for this to be gay.]

Although I guess I was cute enough as a cat to convince a guy to give me strawberries in the Fae forest...

Are you kidding? A black cat with a little white patch? You'd go viral online, Rean!

[But maybe don't do that there's a lot of weirdos and lets not attract attention]

Who gave you strawberries?

Um… Tsukasa, I think is his name?

And maaaaybe, on the viral internet cat thing. It’s just hard to imagine.

[…]

Did I ever show you why I have that white patch in cat form?

Oh! I know Tsukasa! He's one of my students in my senior class. He's a good guy.

Haha, yeah don't worry I'm not saying you have to try to go viral. I know I'm not.

[way too embarrassing]

No, I don't think you did! There's a reason for it?

Yeah, he seemed like a good guy. I owe him one, hunting on my own as a cat was less than ideal.

Haha, well, if I get really low on funds I guess I have options?

But yeah. I woke up with something pretty weird shortly before you got kidnapped. Hang on a sec, and sorry if this is a bit awkward.

[A few minutes after that message, Rean sends along an image— a shirtless mirror selfie. But maybe slightly more interesting than Dem Abs is the giant honking scar going across the left side of his chest, roughly where his heart should be.]

[Elliot was going to respond to the rest but then Rean sends him a shirtless selfie and-

Ohgodthatissohotohno

What does he say?? He should say something?? That's a big scar on his best friend!]

Holy crap Rean! 😳

Yeah.

Doesn't hurt or anything? It's just. There. I may have had a bit of a freakout when it first showed up, but I guess it's just a part of me now.

[What's a little shirtless photography between good buds?]

[Totally normal thing to share with your bud! Also totally normal for Elliot to save that photo, yes siree. ]

Yeah, I can see why it would freak you out. Whatever caused a scar like that must've been intense.

Though...I'd be lying if I said I didn't think it looked cool.

[You enjoy that photo, Elliot. What Rean doesn't know can't hurt him.]

Yeah... makes me pretty worried about what my other self got into, between this and that vision I saw with Jun.

...It does look pretty awesome, though. It's pretty much a dead ringer for the Demon Prince's scar in Magical Alisa, too! Which means I don't have to deal with the stupid scar makeup for cosplay now!

[#priorities]

[ ..... 💧 ]

You are such a nerd.

Ahaha... yeah, maybe a little.

[A lottle.]

But we all have our passions, right?

Hehe, that's true. And I like it when you get passionate about stuff!

[ITS CUTE]

But hey, speaking of your cosplay, if I send you some money do you think you could pick up soundtracks when you're at the con?

[Because like heck is he going]

I like it when you're passionate about things, too! That's why I've always supported you and your music, haha.

[Sure, Elliot's music mania can be scary... but it's charming, too.]

Oh, yeah, sure! [Rean knows better than to try to drag Elliot along.] Anything in particular you want? I can think of a few series that might pique your interest, but if there's anything that you're after in particular I can grab that, too.

Yeah, I know. You've always been my #1 fan.

[Or like, his only fan since it's not like he's gotten around to releasing any music. Still, it counts! ]

Oh, well I haven't been keeping up with the new series as well as you have - so I'd like to hear your recommendations! I love researching what kind of music is being used in media today.
