action ; afternoon of Yusuke's post to Libra

[stripartist]

[As they are cleaning up, Yusuke turns to Elliot.]

Elliot, have you heard of the Libra app?

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot was in the middle of cleaning and dissembling instruments, per usual, when he hears that question and immediately freezes.

Oh no why is he asking about that you're like his normalish coworker]

Li-Libra app?

[His voice cracks from anxiety]

[stripartist]

You have it, correct?

[Yeah, yeah Yusuke can tell.]

[fiddlestick]

[An involuntary "eep" sound comes out of his mouth before he clears his throat]

Huh? W-Why would you think I would?

[stripartist]

You're squeaking.

[Yusuke please.]

And you can see Yuri's purple hair. Noriaki explained that people with the app can see that.

[fiddlestick]

[Oh. Oh he's been caught.]

...Crap.

[He takes a deep breath. This is it. The end of the line. He might as well come clean

And boy comes clean he does-]

Okay, okay! I've had the Libra app since February. I didn't say anything because you never seemed to notice! I don't have a cat, the cat hairs are all mine. Hunter's not my cousin from Canada, we're not related and he's from another dimension. And I knew all along Yuri's hair wasn't dyed-

[All of this is said really frantically]

-- My hair color is natural though! I'm really a red head!

[stripartist]

[Just. Just going to slide over more tea. Yusuke got a bit addicted to the stuff in college and it has paid off.]

What do you mean, the cat hairs are all yours?

[Everything else scans, apparently, but not that.]

[fiddlestick]

[He breathes out, taking the tea with a quiet and defeated "thanks"]

I got cursed in March by some fae. I turn into a cat when I'm stressed.

[And since he immediately knows what the next obvious follow up question]

...I take a potion to regulate it so I don't transform all the time.

[stripartist]

[Yeah he was about to go "but you're frequently stressed".]

I see. So the influx of new students, like Hunter--are they all from other dimensions?

[fiddlestick]

[He takes a small sip of the tea and gives a shaky nod]

Y-Yeah. They started showing up in our world. No one really knows why or...how to get them back to their homes.

[stripartist]

I see.

[Hm]

I'll admit, I was wondering why we were getting so many Canadian and Japanese students.

[fiddlestick]

Eheh ... I mean, the Japanese students are at least usually actually from Japan, just one in a different dimension.

The Canadians though.... yeah, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say we have yet to have a real Canadian enroll in our school.

[stripartist]

Interesting. I wonder why I only just now received this app, if this has been going on for several months.

[fiddlestick]

I'm not sure. Zodiac said it has something to do with people's spirit readings. Maybe something about yours changed?

[stripartist]

I wonder what, and what caused it to change if that's the case. Maybe I've been eating too many bean sprouts...

[Because yeah. Yeah he still skimps on groceries.]

[fiddlestick]

[....]

Yusuke, have you been eating proper meals?

[stripartist]

I'm eating three meals a day.

[Yusuke that doesn't answer the question.]

[fiddlestick]

[Oh no sir. He knows this song and dance well enough]

Meals consisting of what?

[stripartist]

Well, breakfast is usually an apple, and you see what I eat for lunch. [The only proper meal he has. Sometimes. Most of the time it's just Jagariko to be honest.]

[fiddlestick]

Ah...

I really think you should consider expanding your diet. At least to decent calorie levels.

[stripartist]

I know, I know. Old habits die hard, and no one eats well in college.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, sure, and I'm not exactly one to talk, but... [Since really the only reason his diet has improved is thanks to Rean's pushing and looking after someone else]

Well, it'd be easier to paint if you don't pass out from hunger, right?

[stripartist]

True.

[That doesn't mean anything though.]

Honestly, it's a shame the farmer's market doesn't sell in the winter.

[fiddlestick]

[.......why so you could buy more beansprouts]

Hey, what about one of those meal kit subscriptions? I hear those are helpful for people who are busy!

[JUST ANYTHING YUSUKE]

[stripartist]

Oh? Are they worth the price they charge? That's always been my concern, you see.
