[ ringring, nazuna. your most favorite person in the whole wide world is here. ]

Papa, is Mama there with you right now? I need to Facetime you guys right now. This connection is killing me...

you own my inbox now congrats

[pronounces]

[ it is the most jarring thing in the entire world to hear sena calling someone "papa" and "mama".

he winces, trying to decide exactly how to handle this situation. ] ...Senachin, you've got the wrong number.

[ ...best to just be neutral. ]

rolls in

[refate]

so
question.
and it's going to be really random until i tell you why.

but do you happen to have like
a hairtie somewhere in your collection of Prepared For Anything that i can borrow.

hello..........

[pronounces]

is that a compliment or an insult...

but, i might. i think i have some in my work bag.
why?

[refate]

hey
figured i'd give you a heads up.
keito's not on the retrospec network anymore.

[pronounces]

i didn't realize it could come and go so easily...
this is the first time someone i've talked to has just fallen off the app.

i know you guys were close too...
are you okay?

Backdated to 1/24

[amodelidol]

[ooc: Yes, Makoto freaked out for awhile after this.]

Um, Senpai, I have something I want to tell you. Is now a good time?

[pronounces]

sure thing, makochin!
what do you need?

2/3 text

[recollecters]

[A text comes to you in the late afternoon of February 3rd. The sender's name has been encrypted and errors out and there are no signs of who the message belongs to. Clicking on the profile of this Retrospec user brings up a picture of the Retrospec symbol.]

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 Apollo Justice. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at Peach Beach tomorrow morning 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 1. 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 on over to this thread on the latest mod post to meet your teammates! Thank you!]

[pronounces]

[ ...well, is nazuna a reliable niichan, or is he a reliable niichan? ]

...sure. I don't know how much I can help, but if you need me, I'll do my best!

nazunyan

how are makoto and the others

boy howdy

[pronounces]

everyone's okay, mizukichin! it's me, maochin, makochin and ritsuchin.
they put us on a boat, and we're heading over to an island, i think.

how about you? who's with you? are you guys okay?

bunny updates

[taishou]

[ just to keep them all in one thread ]

02/03

[taishou]

[ This isn't an update with Tsuchin, but it is a bunny update.

Kuro sends Nazuna a selfie of him covered in the dragonfly rabbit spirits - one is on his head, and he has a bunch draped over his shoulders, one nestled in the crook of his arm as he holds the phone out with the other hand. ]

02/04 i guess

[stressweets]

[ who the fuck knows when we actually got ice cream

anyway, nazuna's getting a picture of sena with a whole pint of halo top. his spoon is in his mouth. ]

Senpai's enjoying himself ♪
Even though he made fun of me before about the same thing.
I hope you're doing well, Nazuna!!
Is Tsuchin okay? I was thinking about him earlier.
I know you're not with him (unless he came with you, I wouldn't be surprised by that since he hopped into the subway last time), but I'm sure you have someone taking care of him, right?

[pronounces]

[ weirdly cute??? ]

it's kind of nice to see you guys doing something so... normal
i'm glad you're all okay!
stay cool, and drink lots of water, okay~?

tsuchin is just fine! my friend kurochin is taking good care of him.
maybe i'll forward you all the bunny pictures he's been sending me U(´･×･`)U
are you okay, kasachin?

2/6

[sunnyspot]

Hey, sorry that this is out of nowhere. But since you guys are away, I wanted to check up with you and make sure everything is okay.

You don't have to respond if you're too busy, but since so many of my friends are in the same group, I'm sure you'll take care of each other.

Sorry for worrying, but I hope you're having fun.

[pronounces]

Kouheichin!
you don't have to apologize! i'd be doing the exact same thing (๑و•̀ω•́)و
I'm keeping an eye out for makochin & maochin and everyone else.
it's my job as niichan, after all ~ ♪


are you holding up okay?

[taishou]

[ Attached: an image of the voucher ticket he got in the mail, signed Maurice Fitzwilliam, Mail Department with an... interesting description on it. Of two "idol uniforms" or whatever, one (1) Akatsuki and one (1) Azure Dragon. ]

you jinxed me

[pronounces]

[ !!!!!!! ]

oh!!
i told you, you were definitely an idol, kurochin!~
have you tried them on yet? mine fit me perfectly... what do they look like?

3/14, no reply necessary

[stressweets]

[ at least nazuna's easy to get things to... on this auspicious march day, nazuna'll find he has a package for him at his dorm's office—it's a small box, with little shortbread cookies instead cut into the shape of rabbits, and there's a tiny bag tucked into the corner too (they are also cookies, but for rabbits). on top of all of that though is a card; it's decorated with watercolor lilacs.

in the card is tsukasa's neat, small handwriting: ]

Dear Nazuna-niichan,

Last month was so rough, but those pictures of Tsuchintan helped kept me going...! So did talking to you in the group chat~. Thank you for that. Anyway, I heard a long time ago that White Day is a time for repaying someone's kindness (or, well, their chocolates on Valentine's), and today is White Day... so please accept these simple treats.

(And please give the ones in the bag to Tsuchintan. They're okay for bunnies to eat, I promise!)

I hope the three of us can become even better friends in the future, and that one of these days I'll be able to be as kind and thoughtful as you.

Sincerely,
Tsukasa

<3

[ tsukasa gets a video text just an hour or so after he's delivered the letter.

[it's nice just sort of having places to be. people to stay with, even for a little while. nazuna's getting woken up by leo crawling into his bed at some late point of the night, smelling a bit like booze and a lot like an attempt at cleaning up.

there's no words, just him cuddling into nazuna and hugging tightly. which wouldn't be an unusual action if not for the lack of talking in the first place.]

[pronounces]

[ as someone who keeps a fairly normal sleeping schedule, nazuna is passed out asleep when someone invades his bed. he keeps his door unlocked most of the time as an ra anyway, and it should be concerning, but--his dorm room was already occupied before bed, and this isn't that unusual. ]

Mnnn... [ he stirs, sleepily, when he feels leo curl up near him. groggy, still mostly asleep, nazuna lifts an arm to put it over him, small fingers petting sleepily over his back. his words are slurred, nazuna uncaring what he sounds like, still trying to figure out what's going on, or if he's actually dreaming or not. usually, if leo wants to cuddle, he just stays...doesn't just come in in the middle. ] Leoshiin...?

[ his voice cracks a little. ] Whash wrong...?

[refate]

[ Kon is minding his own business, this... afternoon, honestly, it's not even the morning anymore and he knows it. He is minding his own business doing the walk of shame, although he's not very ashamed of anything that happened. It's just what it is. At least Keigo lives in the dorms, too, so he can just make his way through the hall until he's to his room.

Well.

He would, if he didn't run into anybody, distractedly rubbing his very visibly bruised throat and neck as he's looking at his phone in his other hand. ] Oof -

smh

[pronounces]

[ it's the beginning of the month and just before finals season, which means nazuna is very, very busy. his RA duties include changing the boards in his hallways, and he's just on his way back from a very successful redecorating when someone runs directly into him. ]

Hey, watch where you're goin'-! [ a little surprise, he flails backwards, then looks up. ] Konchin-- [ ........ wait. ] Konchin?!

[ oh my god what happened to him. ] Y--are you okay?!

[taishou]

hey
meet me outside the dorms

[pronounces]

right now? it's a school night

[ ... ]

give me a second.

[ he has to change back into his actual clothes, so it takes a little bit, but eventually nazuna makes his way downstairs after about ten minutes, poking his head out of the sliding door and looking around for kuro. ]

4/27

[amodelidol]

Hi Nito-senpai! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

When you have time I have a present to give you!

I don't know if you have anything planned, if you do let me know! If you don't maybe we can grab something to eat when you're free.

Hope you have a great day!

[pronounces]

oh, sneaky, makochin!~ i should've known you would have found out!
thank you. nii-chan's another year older, so rely on me even more, okay~?
i'd love to grab dinner. U(⁎˃ᆺ˂)U

[adoringpast]

nazunyan
you busy right now or are you still painting the hell out of the dorms
we need to talk a bit

[pronounces]

i'm free! i just stopped to take a break.
is everything okay?

5/21

[espansivo]

hey is mitzy really always like that or have i
once again
done something to offend him?
because it kinda feels like that even if he is like that he didn't really scold as harshly (or at all) in back reading
anyway sorry for getting you in trouble

[pronounces]

I thought it was a little weird, too.
he's always nasty, but he's not usually that mean unless something's knocked him off kilter.
he might have just been in a bad mood... i wouldn't blame yourself, leochin. (;´Д`)

[justchords]

(the only thing apollo sends nazuna is a pic.

but a very important pic.

it's one of kuro, in a loose fitting tank that almost shows his tits, but not quite. he's smiling down at a small army of large, beautiful dogs, hefting heavy bags of dog food and making his muscles very apparenty as a result.

you're fucking welcome, niichan.)

[ LET HIM LIVE

[espansivo]

[they say to get over someone you need to get under someone--

and as unfortunate as it is, leo is not in the mood to be under anyone. he's been a bit off the whole day, though he's mostly kept it to his room to try and compose but

he has such a slump. nothing reignites that passion. he tries to do anything he can think of to fix it, from old exercises to listening to his old music, but the moment he hits one of the songs he'd written for miai--

leo is making a quick trip to the store for some sparklers and a case of beer, knocking on nazuna's door. he's probably doing some evening work, but. okay.]

Nazu~. You're not busy, right~? I wanna collect on that date you promised me. ♪

[pronounces]

[ nazuna's had a fairly busy day. plc meetings are neverending, and prep for next year has already started. between that and checking on his family (they're up to five nitos, now, with only one of his siblings and his mom having not reappeared completely), he's been a busy little bunny in his burrow. even at night, he's working on his radio show script, which is what he's doing when there's a knock on the door.

opening the door in his pjs, nazuna blinks at leo, first at the sparklers, then at the beer, and then back at his face. ]

...now? [ he's in his pjs........... ]

6/25

[idolworship]

( miai has been Distracted the past few days, but regardless, he's sending a screenshot of something izumi said to him in chat )

a little late, but
i don't know what this is about so i'm not sure if i should be asking
but if you're comfortable sharing, is it fine if i ask what he meant?

[pronounces]

[ oh... mmm... ]

it's okay.
well, we all talked about there being a "war" and things like that. most of us don't remember a lot about it, but.
mizukichin told me there's a cenotaph on campus. it's for students who have committed suicide because of the school or the profession.

6/28

[amodelidol]

Um, Nito-senpai? Remember when I told you about my crush on Kouhei? Well, something has happened!

[pronounces]

ah, makochin, you're growing up right in front of my eyes!!
tell niichan all about it...~

9/15

[espansivo]

[it's been. a couple of weeks since he'd left, since he'd been broken up with (though he tries to pass it off as mutual, it definitely wasn't), and he'd taken a few things with him in that time while nazuna was away; the keyboard's stayed though, and once he's sure things are quiet he sets to playing a bit on it.

... leo's not here for any particular reason, he wants to convince himself, but. he is. there's... a fair amount he needs to talk to nazuna about, apologize for even beyond his words, because-- this isn't a bridge he should burn. this is a home, even if he feels awkward in it, even if he alienated himself by running off and avoiding it save for money slipped under the door. he missed it, really, and when he hears the door open (it's unusually unlocked, which might be a warning for nazuna) he stops his playing, goes to his doorway instead and hesitates.

he'll

open the door slowly, poking into the living room with a sharp inhale to start,]

Nazu, I--

[pronounces]

[ the door's unlocked.

he's on his way home from a long day at work, because even if the kids can't do much besides be in a loop, he can still plan and grade, which means he's been in his classroom all day. it's distracting, and there's no better way to look away from a two week brewing situation than to throw yourself as hard as possible into work. that's nazuna's MO. it has been since it happened, since he hasn't seen leo.

the rent money's on the table, untouched. nothing in the apartment has changed at all, and nazuna looks down at the unlocked door, his small hand still on the knob, his heartbeat ratcheting up in his chest. the door's unlocked. the door's unlocked, there's someone here. he knows what this means, he knows who it is, and before he's even all the way through the door, he's taking his bag full of school supplies, his computer, off of him and letting them hit the ground with a thunk.

there's leo. his voice is hesitant, and nazuna's crossing the room in two steps, three, until he's practically lunging across the open space to grab him and pull him into the tightest hug he can possibly manage. ]

[taishou]

[ Retrospec is back.

Someone is not. ]

leo's not on the app anymore
dunno if he's over at your place or not
but
figured i'd just say somethin about it so it wasn't the elephant in the room
mizuki, too

[pronounces]

he's here
i know.
i didn't know about mizukichin, though.

it's...weird.
i don't know.
he's here but it feels like he's not.

[taishou]

[ Things are... a little bit awkward, probably, after the whole kidnapping and preening thing. But they lost ten years of their friendship, Kuro's not exactly interested in missing out on much more. ]

do you think i could ask for a favor?
if you're not busy right now i mean

[pronounces]

[ yeah

not that awkward. ]
