Yeah. There's a puzzle one, too. Used to be really into that for a little while.
Magikarp Jump is the one about the fish, it's dumb, but it's fun enough for a little while. Pokemon Go is way more interesting long-term, though. Not like I really go for gyms or anything, but it's nice just to keep it on in my pocket walking to and from class.
...I'm almost afraid to ask how many music files you have
[THAT surprises him way more than Crow going to the gym.]
Ah, that's a really good point, though. I could probably stand to go myself, I've mostly just been getting my exercise through work and walking everywhere I go
You'll find I'm a man of many mysteries and wonders, Rean. I'll always surprise you one way or another
[But as for...Eren...]
Complicated sure is a word for it
He hates me
We're in the same college field: paramedicine. So he's taken it upon himself to make himself my academic coach and nutritionist. I think he gets some sick satisfaction on seeing me in pain too, but the jury's still out on that
[A pause, before he realizes--]
S..Sorry Elliot. Maybe that was a little too rough on my end
...Wow. Yeah, complicated sure is one way to put it. Almost sorry I asked now
I mean, I know he's a little intense, but I didn't think he was a sadist or anything? But I don't really know him that well, so I probably shouldn't really get involved one way or the other.
[Well the apology is appreciated, mostly he's just sighing on his end.]
He doesn't hate you. And he's not a sadist.
Eren's just the type to give 120% into anything he cares about, and he has trouble understanding not everyone's the same way. Or has to be the same way.
...Also I can't say his social skills are the best either, which doesn't help.
[With the most scathing words out in the open, Crow can take a deep breath himself and sort of prune back his texts for a...clearer picture.]
Lemme try that again
He's a good guy, and there's not a doubt in my mind that he's the perfect guy for Elliot. Top of the class in Emergency Care too with me just under him so it's kinda admirable. I tend to skip my gen eds once in awhile and that's a number one offense
[But...there's always a 'but']
I don't know. Every time I think I get somewhere with him he leaves me on read
He...probably doesn't hate me, but I sure ain't his favourite person
Which is fine. If the world got along 100% of the time it'd be a pretty boring place
[Rean makes a note to himself never to bring up his own education around Eren, then. Naturally, that means not telling the other two, either.]
Well, it's like I said to you, Elliot. It's good to be that passionate about something, I think. And if you both are, then I think Crow's right that he's probably perfect for you.
And as for you, Crow... I'm no angel when it comes to skipping myself, but how often is "once in a while?" I think that kind of changes up how bad it really is
Guess you have a point with people getting along all the time being boring, but it'd probably be easier, too.
Well, I don't follow his attendance as closely as Eren does, but...
In our other life? He was actually a second year, but skipped class so much he had to join our class part-way through the year to make up enough first-year credits to graduate.
So if that trend has continued in this life...
[It bad. He didn't tell Eren about this, but don't think he's not ready to throw you under the bus for Rean Crow]
And what Rean said, Crow. I think I'd prefer boring if I'm gonna keep being in the middle of you and Eren. I'm not saying Eren's innocent in this either, but...
[It takes a minute for Crow to reply, because thanks Elliot, guess who else didn't really realize he was a school fuck up in his past life? The 6'1'' man who you just gossiped out to their new friend. Crow's not going to get angry over it, but--]
Good to know about past me
Kinda woulda appreciated a little heads up about that before it became 'Let's Roast Crow Time' but...guess it'd have to come out eventually
[The next text is a little bit softer, even through text.]
I do try you know
Like I said, every time I think I have him acting like a person, he leaves me on read
no subject
But yeah it does! It's a real underdog story!
no subject
And there's a whole phone game about raising Magikarp to jump super high. I guess there's that. It's not useful in battle though
no subject
Like the little fishy that could
Wait there's phone games too? I could play those...
[DRAG HIM INTO THIS HELL]
no subject
Oh yeah! There's a couple pokemon phone games. Pokemon Go and Magikarp Jump right?
I played them for a bit, but I eventually had to erase them to make room for music files.
no subject

...I'm almost afraid to ask how many music files you have
no subject
Let me open up the store right now
As long as they're free I'm game
Heh OF COURSE you'd delete it for music files. Bet you've got Spotify and everything
no subject
Don't worry, they're free.
Of course I do! As well as Pandora, iHeartradio, Soundcloud, and a few others - I listen to each one depending on my mood.
And you can never have too much music, Rean. 🎶
no subject
And yeah, what Elliot said. Your empty wallet is safe, so long as you can avoid the call of microtransactions.
Haha, point taken, Elliot. I've got Spotify, too, but I admit I don't use it to find new stuff nearly as often as I should.
no subject
Don't worry, I've been F2P on idol games for over a year. Microtransactions are too rich for my blood!
I got spotify too, mostly for when I hit up the gym
no subject
You go to the gym?
[He knows Crow is more fit than him, it's still weird to imagine Crow exerting himself like that]
no subject
[At least Lottery tickets win you MORE MONEY.]
That I do. Sometimes after my night class when the place is good and empty. Gotta keep in shape if I'm gonna be carrying around people
no subject
[THAT surprises him way more than Crow going to the gym.]
Ah, that's a really good point, though. I could probably stand to go myself, I've mostly just been getting my exercise through work and walking everywhere I go
no subject
It does make sense, it's just a little hard to imagine. Am I allowed to tell Eren you go to the gym or...?
[He won't directly interfere with their relationship, but he can sure pick and choose what he tells the other]
no subject
[Although Crow panics at that next statement, jamming the all caps button.]
DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE ELLIOT? IS THAT YOUR PLAN?
no subject
...Why would you die? I didn't get the impression Eren did his crazy ziplining stuff at the gym with people-weights...
no subject
...I'll let Crow answer that. They have a...complicated relationship.
no subject
[But as for...Eren...]

[PLEASE try to get along???]

Sorry. You're right.
I haven't told Eren. Just figured since both of you will remember eventually...
[ugh ugh ugh]
I know, I know. I've been trying to talk to him about being nicer too. He's stubborn.
no subject
[And just like that, Crow's back to his old self.]
It's fine, really, though...As long as Eren doesn't find out yet..
[He'll find out eventually and he'll cross that bridge when he gets there.]
Besides, if it wasn't for my shitty grades I never would've graced you with my presence, am I right? Or am I right?
