fiddlestick | Kaisou: Class VII Group Chat

I'm going to kill a man.

[This is not a threat Jusis generally makes, so it's Dire. He attaches a picture of a cello.

And then the bill.]

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.

what the FUCK

[...Professor, WHY.]

Jusis, while I do completely believe in your ability to defend yourself in a courtroom, I can't in good faith recommend murder.

Just because we would help you hide a body doesn't mean I really want to do that today. Even if it would be totally justified.

[Ugh, because it's Rean....]

The point is taken, but the sentiment remains.

I will keep myself composed, of course, but even I must admit that this will swiftly become a challenge if his spending habits don't change.

Oh, I understand the sentiment completely.

The lack of logic here is making my head spin, and I'm not even the one having to deal with the paperwork. You have all of my sympathy, Jusis.

I knew the rumors said this guy was fuckin nuts but jesus fucking christ

A Helmut Illner cello?!

He gave that to FUGO?! Holy crap! Even I don't have an instrument that nice!

Yes, he did.

The Guardian doesn't even know what the brand is or means, only that it sounds the best and is valuable.

I have a feeling Fugo might be afraid to touch the damn thing, let alone play it.

Augh, so he's one of those guys. They're as bad as the people who get puppies for Christmas only to return them when they grow up.

[IMMEDIATE DISAPPROVAL. KILL THE MAN]

I wouldn't blame him, those types of cellos are usually only bought by professionals. I'd never give one to a new learner.

If Fugo is interested in learning the cello, I should still have my student one from college in storage. It was just $500, so it's a lot less intimidating than the Helmut.

[Holy shit, Elliot....]

I am merely warning you now that I will keep the majority of the conversation to myself. However, I'll hold no such restraint if it happens again. I'm an attorney, not his personal accountant.

I'm more than willing to trade instruments, and I'm certain Fugo would be grateful as well. I can get it prepared for transport to your home, but I'd feel better if you could come over to help me make absolutely certain.

[The benefits to being from a stupid rich family is having no fear in handling expensive items, as long as he's confident in handling them carefully.]

I understand. You can do what you like with him, though I admit I kinda wanna give him a piece of my mind...

[He'll hold back for now, but if Zhongli does this again with music he's a dead man]

Thank you for the offer, but please DON'T touch it. I'll come over once I have the proper preparations in place and take care of everything, okay?

You haven't taken it out of the case have you?

If it's with an instrument, I'll set up a meeting. I doubt I could do the dressing down justice like you could.

[He's just being honest. Still... Holy shit, Elliot. Jusis is being reminded of all the ways he's gay right now, damn.]

Of course, and no I haven't taken it out of its case. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it other than take it indoors.

Eheh, thanks Jusis. I can't stop all his spending habits, but I'll set him straight about how one treats music.

[...The rest you're on your own. But hey]

Good. Make sure it stays in the case and none of the kids touch it.

Rean, do you mind helping me clear out a space and cleaning the back of the station wagon?

Of course. I'll get right on it as soon as I'm out of class, OK?

[Rean knows better than to get in the way of Elliot and his music. The speed at which these things are getting cleaned once he's home will make record books.]

I appreciate it.

[Although, it might have to be Elliot who stops Jusis from using a glass flute as a murder weapon before giving it to the redhead. Gently used, just don't question why there's a little bit of blood on it.]

It won't be touched, I promise you that. I'm currently organizing the warranty paperwork it came with and double-checking that it's all in order.

[The benefits of having a lawyer for a friend!]

Thanks, honey! I love you, you're the best.

[Yeah he knows he can count on rean to take this seriously. You've been trained well]

Jusis, that's great to hear! You can expect us sometime in the evening. Okay?

[Aww, they're so sweet.]

I'll have tea prepared if you want to chat for a moment before taking it with you. It's the least I can do for you helping fix this.

Hehe, I'd never turn down some of your tea!

And hey, don't worry about it! If anything, I'm a little starstruck by the idea of getting to meet a Helmut Illner cello in person! I hope she likes me.

are you personifying a cello???

Of course. What? People do it with cars and boats all the time!

yeah and I wonder why people do that all the time too

anyway why would the cello be a she if you're gonna have your hands all over it?

[ASHLEY]

Ashley Cabbott.

[That's a dad voice if ever there was one from Jusis.]

I'm inclined to agree with Rean's assessment.

[That's okay, Jusis will be gay with you, Rean.]

Awww, thanks guys! I hope that's true. I've never actually dealt with an instrument this high class though.

Then again, I managed to befriend Jusis, so maybe it'll be just fine!
