[ you LIE TO ME? no jk i set her fate in your hands ]

Well—Uruha texted them, and that was the reply, apparently. [ maybe he's lying too. she would never know. ] But you don't have to go out of your way so much for me—really. It's my fault it happened.

[boxcar]

It isn't.

[ Extremely firm in that regard. ]

You did what you thought would be right. It is unfair that you would be punished like this for it.

[cupidsammo]

... I don't know. But it'll fix itself eventually, so it's okay.

[boxcar]

Yoji told you to write his name if you're not sure, yeah?

[ That's fine, even if he basically did the equivalent of flicking him in the forehead for it. ]

[cupidsammo]

He did, and I don't think it's a bad idea. At least that way he knows why his name is up there.

[boxcar]

[ He thinks Uruha is a fucking dumbass but he gets it. He probably would have said something similar if he knew sooner. ]

Good. It's not a bad plan.

Are you hungry?

[cupidsammo]

[ she lifts the onigiri! ]

I wanted to grab these since it's easy and probably better than a bag of chips. Have you had them before?

[boxcar]

No. I have looked at them before but I don't know what they are.

[ The fabled jelly doughnuts... he's not against new food but he does kind of just eat what's familiar. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ the jelly donuts... ]

Onigiri is just rice wrapped with seaweed, and the filling can be pretty much anything. They're simple and easy so it's a popular snack back home.

[ every time i have to explain something japanese to you my soul dies a little ]

[boxcar]

[ This is my actual hobby in RP, making people mansplain basic Japanese back to me. ]

Doesn't sound bad. I'll try it.

Anything else you want?

[cupidsammo]

Mmm...

Bottled green tea.

[boxcar]

Alright.

[ Grabs that for her too. ]

...Did you get any messages on your phone today? From someone that isn't one of us.

[cupidsammo]

[ ?? ]

Did I? ... I have my phone on me, but I haven't been able to check it.

[boxcar]

...

If you didn't, it's no big deal. I was curious, because Yoji parroted Rich to me that they received a strange message last Sunday.

[cupidsammo]

You can look if you want. It's just that I can't see to go through anything.

[boxcar]

I was told it was a "voice mail" last time. But if you're sure.

[ He can take a look for you... is her phone just absolutely full of unread messages. Because she's blind. ]

[cupidsammo]

It's okay. Here.

[ she offers her phone... pretend he's given a passcode bc I didn't make one up. there are some pretty normalass teenager texts in there, but he may also be able to find... one new voice mail recording sitting in there! whoa!!! :o ]

[boxcar]

[ Whoa!!! ]

It looks like you have something new. Do you wish to listen to it?

[cupidsammo]

—I do? Alright, hit play on it.

[ When he hits play, they will get..... a deeply personal message from Yves :/ damn. Okay just kidding, it's some beeps and boops. ]

[boxcar]

. . .

Ah. Right.

The morse code.

[ Shit. He is not a soldier. He makes a face. ]

Somebody put up a guide, didn't they?

[cupidsammo]

... In the lobby, right? I remember seeing one there earlier in the week.

[boxcar]

Well. It is something to do.

Do you want to figure this out?

[cupidsammo]

Yeah, I do! Richie told me about these, and I figure they've got to be important, right?

[boxcar]

Alright. Let's get a few extra snacks, and sit down in the mansion lobby. I will bring Shud and chao so they can play too.

[ A fun evening of puzzling out morse code for the two of them to take their minds off of things... ]

[cupidsammo]

I'll try to help out as much as I can! And... you can grab whatever looks good—I'm not picky.
