[. . .

You've gotta to be kidding.]

Chain letters? Really?

[syochan]

Oi, Ren!

That egg hatched! I think I'll name him... Hyuuga.

[ after his idol, yes. Excited yips in the background! ]

He seems to like it, too!

Anyway... I guess I should say "thank you". For... Hyuuga, and that stuff you sent over. It'll help since I have Natsuki around and he might get us into trouble.

Be careful there... with Nanami, too! Or I won't forgive you!

[ and then there's the usual tsundere-ness. HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT HE CARES ]

audio

[saxsongs]

That's good to hear. I'm glad everything arrived safely and the egg hatched well. Did Shinomiya also get his present?

Now that you've reminded me, I've also named a Pokémon after our teacher... and a few others, too. [And he has plans on finding everyone else from the Pokémon world as well, sometime.]

I will be careful, of course. The lady as well. Just make sure you get here safely so that she doesn't need to worry over you.

[pianosongs]

I take it from your silence in communication that you're still in a safe location.

[Not because he's worried about you or anything.]

Feb 16 | Private

[saxsongs]

As safe as I can be.

Are you finally defeating that sickness of yours?

Feb 28 | voice

[pianosongs]

[Because I realized saying private on the private feeds is really redundant, but you get a voice. In usual Masato style, it's soft and calm but thickly laced with annoyance.]

Jinguji, you're an idiot.

Feb 28 | voice

[saxsongs]

What did I do now?

[He's totally playing innocent.]

Feb 28 | voice

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Need I say private if everything on voice mail is private anyway?]

Was that anon text about Rockets from you?

Feb 28 | voice

[saxsongs]

[Tch. Was he really that obvious?

He's... happy to hear her voice, but at the same time it's pretty damn hard to hear it. So his response comes as a mix of emotions.]

Why do you care?

[meikyuubutterfly]

Hey you, I want you to sing a duet with me on that concert.

[orz, well ... at least she's being as bossy as ever.]

March 20th | video

[saxsongs]

What makes you think I'll be in the concert?

ACTION | March 21

[usedswift]

[Alright, she hadn't talked to that Ren guy all that much, even if they were in the same house. The atmosphere in this house was terrible, to say the least, and bothering the other residents seemed like a short trip to getting kicked out and having to deal with the police. But... well, he seemed nice enough. More importantly, he knew things. About Team Rocket. There's a Zorua padding along almost silently behind her as she finally gathers her courage to knock on his door.]

Um... It was Ren-san, right? Are you busy...?

ACTION | March 21

[saxsongs]

[Fortunately, Ren had survived through most of his hangover and embarrassment so he wasn't in a bad mood anymore. He was ready to meet and talk with people - even though he's surprised that any of the kids (besides Obito) would approach him.]

I'm not. Come in.

[TEXT | Private] Backdated to the Afternoon of April 4th

[when_turks_fly]

Ren. I hope you're feeling better than you were the last time we spoke. I was wondering, will you be attending the prom? I have something for you.

[ And seeing how she's going despite her second, third, and fourth thoughts, it would be a fairly good opportunity to give it to him in person should he be there. ]

[TEXT | Private]

[saxsongs]

I am, thank you for the thought.

Something for me? You don't have to hand me anything, but I will be attending the prom, yes.

April 26 || Audio

[heartandsong]

O-oh! Um...sorry to bother you, Jinguji-san but um...

[awkward pause and then very quietly]

I just wanted to say that I um...miss you...

I-it's just that...I thought we'd be travelling together now that we're not with the scary guys anymore and...and it's a lot of fun travelling with the rest of the guys and you should be here too but um...

O-oh! That is, um...if you're travelling along with your other friends though, that's really good! And you should definitely do that and I'm happy for you and...

S-sorry um... Take care.

[The message makes Ren quite... sad. He's happy to hear voice, but the message itself just makes all kinds of feelings inside him appear.

Oh Haruka... he had no idea. He feels bad for letting her down and not traveling with her for selfish reasons. Quite stupid reasons even.

It takes him a while to figure out what to say to this.]

I'm sorry. I still have things to do here, so I decided to stay behind for now. [Which is true, but it's not the only reason he did.] I would love to travel with you, and I will most likely join you a little later, but for now...

I know it's probably not what you wanted to her, but I promise to be by your side as fast as I can, okay? I miss you as well.

[pianosongs]

...Jinguji, I have a brief request, whenever you're available.

What is it?

[heartandsong]

I thought I lost this but I recently found it in my files! I meant to give it to you during Christmas, I hope you like it!

Haruka... thank you. I'm honored to have you write a song for me.

[It's bad enough when you're pretty sure you killed a close friend and then wake up to find the thing you technically killed him with next to your bed, that much is certain. But when it turns out the whole communication system is down, then It Got Worse.

Crow didn't waste any time and immediately rushed across Kanto to find Ren, but there's only as much a person can do when they have no idea where to look for. Needless to say, that hasn't been a good week for the duelist.

Finally, when the 'Gears become fully functional again (he didn't fancy the idea of calling him earlier because in this particular case hearing him wouldn't exactly confirm he's alive), Crow decides to do a wise thing and contact his friend instead of running around the whole region like a headless Torchic.



... Which might be why there are exactly 64 unanswered calls made within less than an hour on your 'Gear right now, Ren.

And counting.]

Goddammit, is it really too hard to pick up one fucking call?!

["One".]

June 7th | video

[saxsongs]

[Oh, look. Ren has been rather popular. 64 unanswered calls. He had always been fast to get fangirl--

Oh.

They're all from Crow.

What the heck.]

What can be so important you need to call me more than twice?

[You okay Crow?]

June 12th | Voice

[pianosongs]

[Around 3 AM, a small voicemail appears in his inbox from a voice that seems a little less contained than normal. He actually sounds... kind of sad, maybe even a little pained.]

When you awaken... please inform the others that I'll be a little late upon reuniting with everyone.

I've...

I'll just be late. I apologize for the disturbance.

[TEXT | locked; backdated 07/23]

[usedswift]

Ren! Guess what!

[She's... not entirely sure if he'll care, but she did promise to keep in touch.]

You remember Sasuke, right?

[TEXT | locked; backdated 07/23]

[saxsongs]

Hey there, Tenten.

Yeah, I do. What about him?

voice

[pianosongs]

I have an... well, a question. If you have time.

[He's asking for advice. It's awkward.]

voice

[saxsongs]

I've got time. What is it?

text; 2/14

[usedswift]

Ren! I'll be sending you some chocolates in a few days, so keep an eye out for an Altaria. You've got to tell me where you are, first!

Also congratulations, I saw your video!!

text; 2/14

[saxsongs]

Ah, thank you... for both.

It just might be a little difficult to reach me for a while. Even I don't know where I'm headed, ahaha...


[Is it just me, or does he sound really awkward.]

7/1 [voice]

[pianosongs]

...Jinguji, I, uh... I had a question.

[His voice sounds rather hoarse and soft; guess who's been in the middle of walking in all this horrible weather.]

7/1 [voice]

[saxsongs]

Go ahead.

[Though why do you sound like that. Are you being an idiot again :< ]

[voice] | Monday morning, July 21st

[lovechronicle]

[Ren, guess who is back? She sounds as excited and cheerful as ever.] Ah, I didn't miss your wedding, did I?

[... and trolling you is among the first things to do this morning, looks like.]

[voice] | Monday morning, July 21st

[saxsongs]

[At first, Ren's not sure what to say... but hearing Mitsuki's voice is a sure way to make him smile.]

We haven't planned that far yet, so you're in luck.

[Is the grin visible on his voice?]

But not as lucky as we are, since we got you back.

[Ha, what a good try. He didn't read it because it was a pain last time this happened.]

I'd rather hear how you're doing than get chain-mailed.
