How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts.
You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is Mako Lou Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at the edge of the woods and we'll go from there.
You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?
[No other messages will be sent from this account at this time.]
[ooc: Hello! You've been sorted into group 3. Your event log will go up at 9pm EST along with all of the other logs. We encourage you to read the main event log as well for more information about your recruiter and this note. In the meantime, head over to this thread on the latest mod post to meet your teammates. Thank you!]
[ Sighing through his nose, Yu lets his eyes slip shut as he leans just a little into his brother. He knows Souji is hurting in more ways than one, and it hurts him to know it.
He'll linger for a long moment, really as long as Souji wants him to, but eventually he'll break off with one last look before moving to grab the laundry basket he dropped earlier. He'll move away to sort it, and soon after depart.
Still, [ he murmurs, hugging his brother tighter still. And then, so quietly it's a hoarse whisper: ] ただいま 。
[ It'll be a while before he feels like letting go. And even when he does, it's only to break away for a brief moment before he leans in just enough to press their foreheads together. ]
[ to be completely honest, souji gets a knot in his throat when yu presses his forehead against his. for this entire month, his mind has been filled with all the different types of what-ifs and possibilities of yu never possibly coming back home. never calling them brothers anymore. so for yu to do this, to do what they've done since they were kids, it brings such a wave of relief and souji is just so glad that he's finally back. ]
Of course.
[ as they head into the room, souji will make sure to hold onto yu's hand, almost as if he's afraid that yu would disappear if he lets go ]
yea but talking is what he needed and tbh he needed it more from u than from me or anyone else im glad i can help its weird 2 think u guys havent been talking u know?
for all the crap i went through in my past life, and how horrifying war is.
i got to admit
remembering a giant mecha fight where you're piloting the actual giant robot and the adrenaline and fear running through you as mook mecha explode and the pilots die.
it's
it's pretty awesome.
until i remember i'm trying to subdue a trio of gundam jackers for committing a war crime.
yeah... i just feel bad over being happy about that kind of stuff when the only thing my past self thinking about the moment was getting the three gundams back.
but on the other hand.
not only my gundam is a multiple part joining into one mech type. it has optional backpacks with different weapons for it!
i-i kinda want to kitbash the shit out of it... if only i can see what it fully looks like, as opposed to a simplified cockpit representation... :
[ even as they settle on the edge of the bed, souji's hand is still wrapped tightly around yu's. even as yu rests his head against souji's shoulder, souji still doesn't let go ]
I'm-- I'm fine. I'm pushing through.
[ "souji fakes his emotions until he can't tell what's real", after all. he pushes through even to the point of breaking and hides it all behind a fake smile and fake optimism ]
How about you?

what the fuck my notif for this is gone for some reason
[ Akira was at the party, but kept to himself for the most part. He wasn't feeling well overall, but wanted to be there to show his support and care.
Anyway, he dropped off a present for Yu and Souji. The long box was left somewhere halfway between their rooms and addressed to them. Inside they will find a body pillow that has a sexy Yosuke on one side and... a sexy cat on the other side.
February left him with little funds. Sorry, twins. ]
Her name's Orihime and she's really nice? And she's really excited to have a stall at the market. But she hasn't broken even yet and Last time I ate her cooking I passed out, so I'm scared to eat anything.
