Huh. Didn't see you as the type. But good to know I guess!

...Why would you die? I didn't get the impression Eren did his crazy ziplining stuff at the gym with people-weights...

It's not my plan, that's why I asked! But fine, my lips are sealed.

...I'll let Crow answer that. They have a...complicated relationship.

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

Edited 2018-12-09 03:48 (UTC)

...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

Edited 2018-12-09 04:31 (UTC)

[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...

[PLEASE try to get along???]

[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

Edited 2018-12-10 17:02 (UTC)

[He sees pause followed by that text and immediately feels bad. Ugh right, he got caught up in the moment.]

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, five thousand sorrys

[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?

[man what a time to step away from his texts for a bit]

Well. That's... something, I guess, past you. But I guess so long as current you isn't that bad, it's nothing to really get worked up about now.

[His tune will change if he ever finds out Crow really does skip more than "once in a while," but for right now, that's that.]

And I guess that's true enough... with the all of nothing I remember to prove you wrong, anyway. But since our past lives are what drew us together now, I guess we do have past you's shitty grades to thank in a sense

He won't find out unless you tell him.

[sure, he shared memories with Eren before. But they were ones that affected him and his feelings. Knowing about Crow's old grades? Well, not only was it a breach of Crow's privacy but it really didn't affect past or present Elliot one way or another.

the "Elliot is typing" message appears for a bit as he writes and deletes some things. He almost mentions the other Crow and Rean seemed to know each other from earlier in the memories but ... mm, anxiety says no.]

Yeah, that's one way to put it. Destiny works in mysterious ways.

Thanks But if it makes you all feel better, I manage C's despite my attendance. So probably no retaking classes! 💖

[He notices Elliot's taking some time to write that response, and although he answers with a simple enough answer--]

Same goes for here too. Don't think I would've met Elliot if I didn't find out about Catmosphere on a day I skipped...Crazy.

[--he'll also add this at the end.]

I...just wanna make sure you don't think I'm mad, Elliot.

Mmm... that "probably" isn't too promising, you know

[But that's all he'll add, otherwise stepping back to let Crow and Elliot sort themselves out.]

[Oh no, he's been called out. Elliot stares at his phone for a moment like a deer in the headlights. He's not sure how he's supposed to respond, other than maybe find some cliff to fling himself off of.]

You're not?

I mean, I know I screwed up. I'm still figuring out when it's okay to talk about the memories, but I really did go too far to use it that way. It's not like I think you're just like your past self, and I'd never expect you to be either-

[Oh god he's rambling.]

Sorry, rambling. I'll stop.

[Sorry Elliot, you're friends with someone who's emotionally intelligent. He'll just quickly resolve this though, because he was right on the money--his tone in text did kind of wig out the poor guy.]

Hey, hey...calm down. Do I have to buy you and Rean some ice cream to keep you guys from worrying about offending me too bad? I mean it, I will

[But more seriously--]

You guys poking fun at me only proves you're getting pretty comfortable with this whole Class VII thing, you know. It's a good feeling Just Use em to win arguments when I got a few more under my belt, okay? 😉 I need some dirt on you first!!! And even more on Rean because he takes all the easy money

Edited 2018-12-11 05:08 (UTC)

I mean, maybe ice cream in December isn't ideal, but I for one will take you up on paying back some of your lunch tab.

[All fear the Bank of Rean.]

And I'm not about to get involved in this any more than I am, but hey. For one thing, you can call it "easy money" when you get scratched up as much as I do, and for another, don't be jealous just because I actually keep good tabs on the boards.

😛

[And these two are back to bickering about tabs and jobs. It makes Elliot laugh out loud as relief floods into him, taking a moment to respond while Rean fills that silence. He didn't screw things up too badly, and these two were so nice. ]

Haha. Okay, fair enough. I'll wait until you have dirt on us too. Though I really don't have much else on you Crow...

[Rean there was much more...but honestly, most of his memories about Rean were positive. Past Elliot may have been heavily biased]

You don't have to get me ice cream though! The thought enough is appreciated! Maybe you can put my share on your payment to Rean?

[Elliot is foolish and thinks that'll be enough to cover the bank of Rean]

Ice cream is good any day of the week, 365 days a year, I'll have you know

[Although it did give him a better idea.]

What about hot chocolate, then? Something a little more December-y. How much of my debt would that pay off?

[Be quiet Elliot you're getting sweets.]

Ice cream is delicious, but it's cold enough here without me intentionally putting cold things in my body.

Hm... I'd have to calculate out your interest, but at least a small fraction. Either way, sounds good to me.

[Wow...Crow is never getting out this debt is he]

Oh! I like hot chocolate!

Going...going...and SOLD for the hot chocolate! Thank you for coming ladies and gents I'll find us a good place to grab it

[Wait...He reads Rean's text again.]

A small fraction? The hell is your interest rate... Word of advice, Elliot. Don't get into debt with this guy. He'll buy you a coffee and hold it over your head for months even though you didn't even know each other

Oh, Elliot? Elliot's account is interest-free. He's not competition, after all 😇

Aww, thanks Rean! That's sweet of you!

I'll be sure not to get myself too deep into debt!
