Just a general update, as it would be hypocritical not to let you know after we had that discussion with Akira - as it's quite late, I am staying over at Sanji's house tonight.
Please let me know if there is anything you want me to pick up on the way home tomorrow - are we running low on anything?
[ For some reason that doesn't truly matter, the three of them are sleeping in the living room tonight. It's still too early to go to sleep for Elliot, so he's on his tablet reading a work that Akira sent him.
...]
I've heard the rumors, but this...really is...bad....
[ Attached to this @MochiHouse message is a lovely photo of a HUGEASS DELUXE AS FUCK BURGER. It's cut up into six pieces with one missing, but still very appetizing-looking!
...Koga did you put little star stickers on the image with your camera's photo app? Pay no mind to that, it's a b u r g e r. ]
You guys want some of this Galactic Burger? Yusuke gets two slices by default, but the rest of us can have one. These challenge burgers are supposed to be really good, and I got it because someone I knew couldn't finish it.
Help yourself guys, if it ain't on the table I put it in the fridge. I told Mizuki I didn't like bigass sweets like cake, so I guess I ended up with a fruit tart. Nice. Just pray that there isn't any spicy crap on it thanks to picking it up from Kei's restaurant.
Actually, I have a question while I'm here.
How do you feel about people from your world? In general, I mean. It can be people here on Retrospec, used to be, or people you remember I guess.
Oh wow! That looks beautiful!! Thank you, I'd love to have some even if it's spicy!
[Lover of fruit desserts right here]
I don't have anyone from my world here, so I can't really answer for sure but... I'd like to meet the people in my memories some day. At least to make sure they're okay.
[Well it's evening and what festival is complete without fireworks? Elliot of course decided to watch the fireworks with close friends...aka his roommates. In searching for a good spot, they eventually come across some beach rocks that are pretty empty so they can do other stuff too but still has a good view of the fireworks]
This looks like a good spot!
[OOC: No tag order, feel free to bring a friend. Just come in here to get your festival regains ok]
[ To be honest, Yusuke bumbling along in the semi-dark down a pebbled beach, especially when he's distracted by the lights from the festival in the distance and the way the stars seem to brighten the further away they go.
The lights in the distance, like stars close to earth, and the scattering of lights in the sky... are both beautiful in their own way.
He's probably going to stumble at some point, but for now he'll just be taking the contrast - the lights, the bustle and the sound alongside the darkness of the beach, the still air and the lapping of the waves against the shore. ]
Yes, this is lovely. A clear view, away from the crowds.
[ hello friends and housemates, it is M O V I E N I G H T and browsing through the streaming options has led the unsuspecting friends to a terrible decision and dangerous movie choice for the evening - the fifty shades of grey movies are available. There is popcorn available. There are other snacks and foodstuffs and drinks ready and waiting to be consumed as part of M O V I E N I G H T.
And there is some truly, truly terrible television happening right now. ]
[Elliot is not to blame for picking this movie, and he's just watching it with confusion. Even the book was more interesting, or at least what he read from Ren's edit. And that book was awful]
[ because ren got eren a build a mecha that came some time in august and eren must extract his revenge so, house mochi will hear, one day, from their roof, eren screeching: rEN AMAMIYA, WHO LIVES IN THIS HOUSE, IS REALLY THE GREATEST FRIEND A PERSON COULD EVER ASK FOR.
so you can hear it
so the neighbors could hear it
so the nearby campus could hear it
so the world could hear it
either discuss, or later approach eren building a thing, or por que no los dos, i do not care, but know this was a thing that happened. ]
Yes. That sure is the sound of his boyfriend's voice yelling at the top of his lungs. More importantly, he seems to be yelling about Ren? So he's heading downstairs to the rest of the housemates to ask: ]
[ hello friends and housemates, it is M O V I E N I G H T again and because they learned nothing from the first time, Fifty Shades Darker is playing on the television to the usual mixed reception and morbid fascination. One again, snacks and popcorn are ready and waiting for be consumed as part of M O V I E N I G H T.
And this time, they have a new housemate to suffer through all this with. Thank you for your sacrifice Goro, the potential to embarrass Akira has just leapt tenfold and they have all been blessed by this. ]
I see the writing quality did not improve between movies.
[ This is the biggest Oof moment of his life... Having to tell his friends and boyfriend the reckless plan he has laid out. He has already told them all that he will have something important to tell them after lunch.
And he's prepared to take a punch of two from Yusuke and Goro.
Despite that, he's determined in seeing this through. Once they finish their shared meal, he throws the card onto the table. ]
This is what I came up with. [ And before you all call him an idiot (even he knows this is so risky that it's stupid), he adds in. ] I wanted to see if the tip about needing the person's name is true, also knowing what they look like. At the moment, there's no way the culprit can pinpoint it's me.
[ ... ]
If I survive and this works, we have a solid lead.
[ Hearing that Akira had something important to tell them after lunch was already a little worrying. Sure, maybe it was good news- but Elliot's anxious mind wasn't one that assumed any "we need to talk" would be an upbeat one.
Still, even this exceeded this expectations. He's dumbstruck as Akira reveals his plan ]
[ Hello, this is a gracious placeholder post where Akira is just sitting in the kitchen with Morrigan, enjoying a late night snack.
He’s alive, friends!! And stuffing his face because damn was all of this so stressful... there’s an empty tub of ice cream on the table and he’s eating a second, allowing his cat to have a little frozen treat—just a little. It isn’t completely smooth sailings from here, but small victories. ]
[He'd. Given James this yesterday, in the form of a drop off, but it's so much harder with his housemates; regardless, it's when he's spotted the three of them hanging out in one place, nervously holding the printouts in his hands before inhaling, exhaling, and finally striding to where they are and throwing down a set of pictures onto the nearest surface.
A picture of a black-covered notebook with the stylized words "Death Note" on it.
Various pages with names and causes of death, though there's many left blank too.
Zee's death in detail.
James's.
... and lastly, which he hesitantly sets down, is a picture of the rules of the notebook, which includes "Whoevers name is written in this book shall die".
Goro's crossing his arms, nerves skittering beneath his skin as he looks anywhere but the three.]
... I paid my brother's home a visit and this is what I found.
[Found where it was, really, every thing replaced meticulously, considering he already knew it was there.]
[Elliot had been sitting on the couch. When Goro puts them on the coffee table, he'll lean forward to look at them with increasing worry on his face. The names, the causes of death....]
This is...
[W e l p. He gulps and glances at the others for some words because uh need a moment here.]
