Don't believe his lies. He stole my notebook from me earlier.

[ and she got it back but that's not important. ]

[takasugi]

Mmh. Well. Notebook aside, as long as you all understand.

( sorry malkuth.

and it's not like he's weak to that smile or anything. not... at... all. )

Anyway. I'm supposed to be resting and here I got carried away. I'll let the rest of you wrap things up and get back to my nap.

Prez is soooo nice to me. Take notes, people!

Anywho, I oughta check if my shirt's done.

[While shirtless?! He just doesn't want to be in the same room naked with someone else for long. He gets up—]

[ignoreher]

Sit. I'll get it.

[ that's so immediate she does NOT need him meandering out of her room SHIRTLESS. ]

I don't really care if you snoop or not, but have the decency to put stuff back where you find it. Okay?

[ ... and she'll go, please do not. leave here. god. ]

[hanabee]

He is so lucky he owes me snacks.

[He's kidding. Mostly.]

[hanikamu]

[Why did everyone's attitude get even worse than when the call started?]

P-Prez... Help! I'm bullied...!

[is he still there]

[takasugi]

( nope

he literally said BYE and is outie )

[hanikamu]

[Well, okay. That's... cool. But wait, if Takasugi's out cold, then that means he can finally say this:]

Niki... Are you still there? I...

I'm alone in a woman's room without a shirt on...

[hanabee]

Nuh-uh, don't play innocent. That kind of thing doesn't happen on accident, you know?

[Well, knowing him, it probably did, but... He's got an act to keep up here!]

You're on your own here. Take responsibility for your actions.

[hanikamu]

I just figured if I called you guys, I'd be exercising my responsibility to let you know what the fuck is happening to me!

I mean, it's my fault. I had to repay a debt again, so I got carried away. Now I'm stuck in the same situation you warned me about. Thank god Bambi's a good person. She had real notes on everything. She's amazing... My luck's been pretty good today. I'll add her to the work chat.

[onestepforward was added to the group chat!]

...

... Can you pick me up?

[hanabee]

[mmmmMMM WHY DOES HE HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT... Niki can't keep up the act anymore. He actually does feel bad.

He sighs.]

Okay, okay, I'm on my way. [He'll just tell his boss it's a family emergency.] DM me the address, okay?

Sorry for causing you so much trouble, Miss Malkuth.

[He's apologizing for both of them. Sorry for our Rinne-kun!!]

[ignoreher]

[ wow.......... she got added to their chat....... she's official now, right? accepted beyond a doubt? she should be more grateful, and she will be in time, but for now--

malkuth's tossing rinne's washed shirt at the back of his head, waving off the apology she'd returned to. at least it smells generically clean... when she has her own place she can have her own detergent. ]

To be honest, I like trouble. [ maybe that's odd. especially since she seems like such a good girl, but... it's true. she does. ] So cause as much as you want, as long as everyone's smiling at the end of it -- I promise, I'll always have your backs no matter what hell you raise in whoever's direction.

[ even if her natural soul is so against it, that doesn't matter. malkuth is determined. ]
