[He knows he could have used the work line, but no. Not for this.]

Rosewood, do you have a minute?

[Texting so Jun doesn't hear...]

I wanted to ask you something.

[Sorey receive will a message containing a $25 gift card to a coffee shop near the University district. The one Jun just happens to work at]

Thank you again for dinner. Mikleo was the one who made the ice cream, so I wanted to give my own token of appreciation.

You probably saw what happened, but just in case:

I've taken thorough notes on the situation. I'm sending them over.

[Naturally, he's redacted any personally identifiable info.]

The existence of this organization and their continued operation is intolerable. I'm going to reach out to some people I studied with in the program to see what they can recall of Kreuzen and its subsidiaries, and help the prosecutor gather as much evidence as possible.

It might not have anything to do with our aim, but what Krusnik is doing... They're trying to force possessions onto children so that they can have their own pet gods. Naturally, that could never sit well with me. There's a possibility our paths would have crossed because of my field, so I want to get in front of it as much as possible from where we are.

I have a personal favor to ask, as well.

You're the word doctor, right? I'm texting to ask about your services.

[No organization here was fully trustworthy even if several of the individuals seemed reasonable enough. Someone from any of them putting himself in a position that screamed 'exploit me', however, was worth careful scrutiny and investigation. Even--especially--if that meant putting himself on the metaphorical chopping block instead. That was an acceptable risk to take if it meant getting a close measure of what Sorey's intent really was.]

[So, cane at his side and sunglasses over his eyes, that was how Waver Velvet resigned himself to putting a mask of calm diplomacy in place before knocking on the office door.]

hey.

i heard you make a mean beef stew

maybe i'll be tempted to come to a session if you share

that's a big maybe

Dr. Shephard? It's August Villareal. Are you available to talk?

[Takame had been... avoiding this. Initially due to his disdain for POKEGO, but he had more reason to despise the Black Order right now than them. And with the signs of approval from both Rose and Waver, well...

H-He at least had a different reason to reach out. An Ice-breaker! Those were important to have.]

... Excuse me. Dr. Rosewood, correct?

[After this conversation, since he's not sure if Ash was just saying stuff to get him off his back, he'll decide to take initiative and call Sorey]

Hello, Dr. Rosewood?

This is Elliot Craig. Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask your input about something.

[Well, he was promised a date under the cherry blossoms. So after hiding himself away for the early part of the morning, he reappears in front of Sorey's door and knocks.]

I'm ready when you are.

[He's lasted much longer than anyone will give him credit for, but that doesn't mean he can't drive Sorey a little crazy in the process. He's not wearing a naked maid outfit though (sadly). He's wearing a more traditional cherry blossom pink kimono, and he has pink and blue dangling kanzashi pinned into his hair. It's started to get a little long and curly and he can't decide if he wants to keep growing it out, so... compromise.]

can i get your opinion on something?

i want you to be honest. even if that means being brutally honest

you've never held back with me and i don't want you to start now

[Shocking no one but himself, Waver actually made an appointment he was well overdue for considering both Shadow nonsense and several other things. Perhaps more shocking was that he showed up to it, an Eevee perched patiently on his shoulder.]

...So what do you call it when you watch yourself casually light a match and attempt to burn every bridge you have only to be essentially called out for being a complete idiot after a near-death experience?

Because I'm starting to realize that my life back home is even more fucked up than I already knew it was.

[After his conversation with Vash and learning about the Knives's situation, he had handed his phone to Mikleo for him to talk to Vash. He then left their shared bedroom, closing the door behind him to make some distance between the situation.

To say he feels conflicted is...an understatement. He's considering slipping out to church and attempting to explain all this to Father Hansa. Try to sort things out...though he's not sure how he'd even begin to with the other world stuff, with the father no longer on the app.

Before he get can get far on that church plan, he sees that Sorey's home too. He does respect the older one's opinion so...he'll approach]

...What would do, if you don't think you could stop feeling hatred towards someone?

[Mikleo ungracefully clambers out of bed and runs over to Sorey's door, and knocks somewhat urgently. All because of a blond.]

Sorey, we have a problem.

[Don't mind the slight echo to her voice...she's making this while barricaded in her own bathroom to keep Eizen from interfering.]

Eizen says you're the new Shepherd.

[she does not sound happy about this. Shocker]

I'm sorry about Velvet, I knew her reaction was going to be bad but I didn't expect her to lock herself in her own bathroom to interrogate you.

Edited 2023-07-17 04:22 (UTC)

Sorry, gonna be late.
Eizen fell in a hole.

[It's just a normal morning at the Arcadia apartments. Don't mind the unhinged looking woman in torn up clothing at Sorey's door. In her hands, she holds a two handed axe.

And with her hands full, what else is she to do but start kicking at Sorey's door instead of knocking with her hands]

Shepherd! Open up!
