Ash, you are not to tell Fugo about this conversation.
This was a gift to Fugo from a fellow Guardian. Elliot, I'll need some help with how to maintain this particular cello.
Before you ask, no. This Guardian did not know about the brand. They were told it sounded the best and had me try to cover the cost in our budget. This was a few days ago, which I foolishly hoped wasn't true until the cello finally arrived.
[He absolutely refuses to call it by its proper name.]
Yes, I dropped by and the shopkeeper immediately foisted... something onto me. They explained that it was powerful healing magic, but I'm not about to test that.
[Rean absolutely does not have time to sit down and text. He's currently busy digging through stuff in the Storage Basement and trying to figure out what he can throw together as a makeshift camping kit.
He's not going to just sit around here and wait for someone to tell him the gate's open, after all.]
Hey, so. If you haven't heard Shroud's message, I suggest you go listen to it. It has more information than I have any chance of relaying.
I'm not entirely sure what we do from here, but I can't just sit around doing nothing. I'm sure you two are in the same boat.
["You two," because he really doesn't expect Jusis to be able to read this right now.
Magic cell phones probably don't work in abysses.]
So, any thoughts on a plan, here? I'm currently thinking we stake out wherever they opened this gate to begin with, but that's as far as I've got.

Ash and I are on vacation this month. Yes, this was a decision made because of a recent addition to the team, as I'm sure you've seen already on the recent Zodiac announcement. I'll keep an eye on it, but that's the extent of my involvement.
He's a warning that I'm going to wait until it's closer to June to deal with. Unfortunately, this does mean that the two of us might be more cagey than usual.
Yeah, that whole thing does not look pleasant, to put it very lightly. I'm glad you guys are taking some time off to look after yourselves rather than jumping right into that.
I understand if you guys have to keep some things under wraps, and I'll respect that. Just... don't let things get to the point of last month again, okay?
Zhongli's friend named his saxophone after him because he wants to sleep with him, but Zhongli is denser than Rean so his friend will probably be left hanging for eternity.
Also you SERIOUSLY owe me for this one, I want to bleach my brain so bad.
I'm fairly certain Zhongli suffers from a combination of oblivious ace and oblivious gay. Had I know it was that bad, I wouldn't have put your name forward like that. My apologies.
I'll purchase a violin or piano for you for services rendered. Yes, I'm aware of how much they cost.
I've been given information about someone we should keep our eyes out for. He's been offering work to anyone willing to bring him Pokémon as subjects for his art, allegedly. However, I have it on good authority that this Alba person has taken an interest in two Krusnik escapees so far, which is two too many for my taste. I also got strangely sick the two times I met him in person, though I'm not sure what exactly that means.
[Jusis then gives a brief description of Alba.]
I'm currently looking into him on my own time to determine who he is and what his motives are.
You know, at first, I thought our last world was really cool, and I kind of thought this one - you know, without all the Spirit Realm stuff - was a little boring in comparison.
The more I learn about it, and the people we had to coexist with, the more I regret that initial thought.
[Okay so Rean already knew, but Elliot sure has been putting off telling the rest of Class VII this for as long as possible. But full moon is coming so, uuuuuuuugh]
Okay, so this really isn't a big deal or anything, and it's nothing to worry about. Really just wanted to say it to keep you guys in the loop but I might've got cursed again.
Really nothing to worry about I got it under control. Anyway, so what are everyone's holiday plans?
[Elliot had seen the post. He didn't know Caleb, but that didn't stop his gut from feeling twisted from guilt and worry. So he tried to busy himself with making some tea when Ash comes in, clearly shaking]

Private to Jusis and Rean | Text
Jusis-

Also you SERIOUSLY owe me for this one, I want to bleach my brain so bad.
