Hi hi~~☆ It's a great day today! It's your birthday, right? I can remember it easily, because it's like the opening act to tomorrow's MAIN EVENT (me), fufufu~~~!!! I won't ever let you forget it!
I'm just kidding btw!! I hope you have a good, fun day!! Get wild!! Party!!!
I had a barbecue and found puppies. Samatoki and Sen surprised me. It was a very good day.
It's your 30th, right? I'm sure you have much bigger plans. I hope someone gives you all the champagne you could want
Samatoki told me to be his neighbor, so I probably don't smell like the wilderness anymore. It's a challenge for hunting.
[ As if Hifumi would know if he smells different now than he did before?? Riou isn't even sure he does, he just does whatever he wants and figures that's it. ]
[ So, he found out a little late that it was a certain navy man's birthday. It happens! Incidentally, he also happened to be totally broke at the time of discovering this.
Also happens.
It did take a bit, but somebody did take pity on him and let him moonlace for a bit to increase the pitiful amount in his wallet. Sure, he still owed the big guy some cash, but he could make it up some other time. There's nobody home when he drops by, so he carefully leaves the small potted plant and small note by his door, looking back all the way out to make sure it's still there before he scurries off.
Closer inspection reveals the plant gives off a rather minty smell, and the note is somewhat crude and messy, but whatever works.
'yo, riou! sorry this is kinda late, but i was kinda flat broke. i know you like planting and stuff like that, so hopefully this thing'll work! make something delicious, alright?
Mm.. the moons' influence can bring out different sides to a person. I'm Sanguis-blessed so- [ At least, he was, so he has no reason to assume otherwise yet ] -it was necessary to adapt quickly. I owe Samatoki an apology.
[ The last memory that Riou has is... well...
Attempting to top Samatoki in his kitchen because of Sanguis aggression even though he knows that Samatoki likes to top, then his memory cuts out the moment he was about to penetrate--
Well, despite not sharing details, Riou does reach up and scratch the back of his head. ]
In a way, this is part of supporting your crew here.
[ Riou didn't answer the question, and he hadn't seemed too embarrassed upon being asked, either. Just matter of fact. Jyuto's childish curiosity deflates, figuring that Riou really must be thinking objectively about moonlacing, and not so much about social consequence. Or, maybe there simply isn't any here, if it's become so normalized? His head's already spinning in that direction— if moonlacing is a way of supporting one's own, does that mean that the rest of MTC is going to expect him to boogie down with them? Survival fucking, survival ride? ]
But isn't it awkward, or do you just ignore it? Not that I think any of us are virgins, or anything. [ Frankly, Jyuto feels like it'd be awkward. More so with Samatoki than Riou. Still, he's thinking of how to compartmentalize it, even in theory. ]
Unless you mean just holding onto each other— [ Assuming sex outright makes him look too perverted. ] —even that's odd, though.
[ Well, actually... maybe not for Riou. Half American and all, perhaps a random hug isn't so uncomfortable. What if he'd wanted to be greeted with hugs this entire time? ]
Riou looks down in consideration for a moment, thoughtful, then asks: ]
Do most Shibuyans not like local ingredients?
[ :( He supposes Ramuda is an enemy so it's fine if he doesn't, but this is awfully dismissive when his own teammate knows that Riou cooks well, so maybe Dice has been trying to protect his feelings.. ]
[Asami sits down (as well as she can with her tails) and accepts the knitting project. After looking at it for a moment, she starts on ending it. It doesn't take her too long to do it and she smiles as she cuts the last thread.]
HEYYY HEY~~ I'm coming to you for something SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT!!! You know survival stuff!! Do you know if there are human size traps???? The kind that don't cause harm because we still need him in one piece!! Let me know!!
Riou, Samatoki and I were considering challenging Fling Posse to a rap battle just for fun. Are you all right with it? Let me know if you'd rather not.
I learned only recently that Lunatia celebrates Valentine's Day differently than we do back home, so with that in mind, I wanted to make sure to send you some chocolates this holiday. Are you feeling the love? If not, come see me. Anyway, should you receive this too unexpectedly, please pay it no mind. Gestures like these are excessive and unnecessary, but I frankly couldn't help myself even despite knowing that.
careful, iris! if you wash your nesting materials too often, it'll weaken your sanguis' scent! take care of your hormones and always re-scent your materials IMMEDIATELY after washing!
send this to 5 people you know to spread the message, or else your nesting materials will wash out!
Keep this recording somewhere safe for me. On my word, I'd like you to send it to whoever (including Moon Knight authorities) will make his life the most unpleasant for it. I'm still uncertain as to who you are, but given the nature of the contents, please do not disclose any of this message or its attachments to anyone unless I permit it prior to distribution. You don't have to listen to it. In summary, it's audio evidence of a second degree murder.
[ Of course he had to listen to it. If it was something that Jyuto wanted him to keep safe, he needed to know what it is unless Jyuto specifically told him not to- after all, it would help him know who Jyuto's enemies were, and that would help him better help Jyuto.
This is.. a lot for Riou to unpack. He knows it's Jyuto, but Jyuto doesn't know it's him. He's sharing something with him, from the sounds of it for emergencies or.. who knows. He's trusting "Solon" to be his fail-safe without even knowing he's Riou.
But more than that, the contents of the video are probably one of the most upsetting things that Riou's experienced in a long while. He's lost comrades before. He's never had a recording of it happening. He's never been able to actually relive it over and over again outside of panicked memories, even if he can't see anything. Perhaps it's worse that he can only hear it, because every sound is left to the imagination and his experiences in war mean his imagination is not kind to him.
--Who is texting him, if Jyuto is dead? Riou hasn't had anyone die on him yet-- he doesn't know what happens. ]
Daniel Dickens informed me that he was recently shot, and what's more, whoever did the task said they did so on my behalf. You wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you? Only you and one other person, a cleric, are aware of what happened to me.
