[ He sighs. ]

Surprise...

It must be a distortion of some kind, like how letters can get altered. Can't have a sincerely nice thing can we, it'd be too easy.

I hope they don't think we sent those on purpose.

[ Some of them will. ]

It's likely. Nothing here ever goes quite how we expect it to.

...Do you think they will?

I'm certain at least one person will question if we did.

We can only be honest and let them believe it or not. I just hope they won't put all the blame on Mr. Akabane or something.

[ He really has given himself the goblin king reputation. ]

He has made a reputation for himself. [ sighs. ] But I'm sure if we explain, they'll understand.

...If I didn't think attempted deception would go over much worse, I'd be tempted to just sweep this under the rug entirely...

Hmmm. So much happens on that side, it's possible they may forget before we see them again...

...True...

Hopefully they'll be able to, ah. Look back on it with some level of humour.

Hopefully.

[ Daan actually hated watching all that though so he doesn't seem very optimistic about those chances. ]

I think they might. They all have a good sense of humor.

[ thinks of asa ]

Mostly.

I'm surprised we even have as much as we do.

[ The game itself is miserable but by god, some of these people are goblins. ]

Maybe the sight of you with animal ears would've given them a bit of a morale boost though...

Sometimes our humor is what gets us through the darker times.

[ something something never stop smiling ]

...Do you think so? Gahaha! Then it's a shame we can't show them!

Maybe you could send a photo. Looks like we can send little physical objects through even on our own now. Pick whoever would appreciate it the most.

Oh, we can? I haven't tried since it first failed, but that's good to know!

[ taps chin... ]

I'm not sure who would want to see it, though. Maybe Mathis-dono, or Yuffie-dono? I think most of the people who'd be interested in something like that area already on our side.

[ Well I realised I have no ic basis to believe this yet since mail hasn't gone through but fuck it whatever it's w6 anyway. ]

I think they could both benefit from something small and lighthearted. They've... been through much.

[ it's not emotionshare anymore but the ears do droop a little bit. ]

Too much, especially for someone their age. I'll think about it.

Thank you, Daan-dono.

Yeah.

[ He's not happy about the kids suffering either. ]

I haven't done anything worth thanking. Let's just both try to make the best of our hours.

Of course. [ he smiles again! ] What would you suggest, then? There's all kinds of new places to see?

Oh... here and now?

...

We've got four distinct new places, as well as the Elysium the other side's been looking at, huh...

Think our venture returnees and break-ins will happen somewhere around those?

[ Just fully assumes they'll get some this week. ]

The break-ins are places around town, usually. The others... I don't know. They seem to happen anywhere at random, and we're lucky to catch them.

Maybe we'd all benefit from a group lesson on how to use these portable phones.

[ They're RadioShack flip phones right, not a smartphone. Please, a smartphone would just kill Daan. ]

[ flip phones and bricks yeah. ]

Caelus-dono was offering help before, but it was during the party. I'm not sure if anyone paid much attention to it then.

It was a bit busy then... but he does have my number. [ We all have everyone's numbers, dingus. ] I inquired him about it some when I was checking in on him last Thursday.

I don't think he'd mind doing it again, if we think it's needed.

...I did pay attention, but it doesn't make typing on the thing any easier.

[ HIS CLAWS. ]

[ Brother's got CLAWS. ]

At least picking up is just one button?

That does make it easier, yes. Some of them seem to prefer the "texting" option, though.

You can just call with me. I think I'd also prefer it.

[ Don't make him read tiny pixellated text on a flip phone, he only has one eye. ]
