Now that we're back in town, I thought I would check in. It's funny; I miss having the eggs a little. How are you?

Fine. Though, I must say I concur with the feeling.

I thought it might be a good time to compare notes, if you've had time to collect data.

Yes, I've had some time.

[She couldn't guarantee gathering anything too significant however.]

We should start with what we bought. I got a Silicone Slender-Flex Stimulator, a Pocket Rocket, and a vibrating cock ring.

Wait, we're talking about this over the messenger? Wouldn't this be more appropriate in person?

I thought it would be easier like this. If you want to avoid leaving a paper trail, I don't mind meeting in person.

I would prefer that yes. Where should we meet?

Since this isn't the kind of thing we want to do in public... is my apartment fine?

Edited Date: 2019-06-19 07:29 am (UTC)

Yes. I'll be there shortly.

[By the time Naoto arrives, Souji has carefully made sure the living room is innocuous and well-aired, and there's a discreet shopping bag sitting by one corner of the coffee table - just in case she wants to inspect the toys. He'd thought doing this over an impersonal medium would be easier - not having to look each other in the eye, or hear embarrassment in each other's voices - but this is fine too. He can stay professional.]

[Meanwhile, Naoto arrives shortly as said, but doesn't immediately enter. Come on, that would be rude. This was going to be so awkward - and if they were home, highly inappropriate despite them being friends due to age... but if she was having this conversation at home, Senpai would be older.]

[Argh, not the time to think about time discrepancies. She knocks on his door three times.]

[Souji opens the door promptly.]

Please, come in.

[He gestures to the living room, with its large futon, small coffee table, and whiteboard on the wall, between two cat posters.]

Did you want anything to drink?

[Tea, coffee, or something to make the conversation less embarrassing, if such a magic drink exists. He has some local liquor, but he can't imagine Naoto asking for it... mm, unless it was in a hard-boiled detective's office, maybe.]

Thank you.

[And she'll enter now that she's been invited in. Of course there would be cat posters, but she doesn't comment.]

Tea would be great...

[She would try not to choke on it while they talked about... well, what they were inevitably going to discuss.]

[It only takes a minute for Souji to heat the water and stir in the matcha powder, and then there's tea.]

Here.

Mm. So... where did you want to start?

[There's a little self-aware irony in his voice. He's under no illusion that they're going to make it through this conversation without blushes on both sides.]

Thank you...

[Good, something to calm her nerves and to appropriately choke on when this becomes too much.]

... I suppose we can start with... how your purchases have been working out for you.

[a couple days after this.]

hey... could i ask you something?

[Huh... it's not often one of her senpai contact her direction.]

You can. What's going on?

i had a really big fight with chie.

it was really bad. i didn't start it, before you say anything. chie's just been... super down lately about herself and i found her today and wanted to see how she was doing and it's just... ugh, long story short she said i only think of her as a friend when im bored or something or when

when saki-senpai wasn't around.

[ after a few moments of the constantly typing dots. ]

do i really do that? only act like a friend when its convenient for me?

I see. That's strange. If I recall, I thought you contacted Chie-san more often than the rest of us, Yukiko-san aside. Are you not supposed to contact friends when you're bored and want to talk or do something together?

[She might be the wrong person to be asking for friend advice since the Investigation Team was literally her first friend group.]

Sorry, Yosuke-san. I might not be equipped for this. Personally, you rarely speak to me on these matters, but it's not a subject I excel in. I'm failing to understand how you can 'act like a friend' when you are friends. Perhaps it has to deal with her extroversion - that she'd prefer you speak to her more often than when personal matters come up and maybe indulge her in a few hobbies?

its not really a matter of being equipped for this, im asking you because you're not really attached to the drama thats been going on with her. and i never really had a reason to go to anyone about this stuff before... i know its coming out of nowhere, im sorry!

i just... it really hurt when she said that? she literally said i don't consider her a friend unless im bored or whenever i wasnt with saki-senpai before she died. so i guess im just confused if i had been acting a certain way to give off that kinda vibe? before the whole mess started with the murders, we... i mean, she was a friend but we werent that close. we got along for awhile, but then outta nowhere shed kick me or hit me? i know i say shit i shouldnt say, pervy stuff and all but... shes done it when i didn't do any of that?

so i mean... im not sure what she wants? or wanted? i know that isn't something you can answer but i guess i feel like i missed something?

[ He's leaving a whole lot out of their argument but it was just another can of worms that probably wasn't that appropriate for this conversation right now.

Right, Chie-san shows her affection physically. Or perhaps she feels like you can take it. I wonder if she realizes that she even trusts you that much.

I doubt it's really you right now, Yosuke-san. The situation Chie-san has found herself in has likely made her feel inadequate in some manner. Given how she tends to express herself, you were her proverbial punching bag. Maybe she's even been wanting to express her anger at someone in particular, but doesn't feel like she can.

i kinda doubt that... she only does it to me, no one else. and i dont think constantly trying to make me pay for food counts either. although she actually hasnt done either since i got here which is nice.

well yeah but she said she already apologized to rise about all that. but now its about missing yukiko. she was... ok, you know how the ware wolf shop sells that potion of pining stuff? it allows you to look however you want, your best self, for like eight hours. she was literally running around as yukiko! i told her that wasnt gonna help her and thats when she really went off on me about not bein her friend and how i wouldnt understand.

i told her i did because souji moved away and all and i know its not exactly the same but its not like i dont understand either. but she just wouldn't listen. she even shoved me before running off.

[Oooh, so that was the rest of it, huh?]

She may have apologized to Rise-san as well, but it sounds like she's feels not up to a 'standard' take that as you will. It has nothing to do with missing Yukiko-san.

The time differences here is strange. As I know Chie-san in the future, things like this don't get to her. Not that she has on and off relationships between your time and mine; she's busy with schooling.

[ most of it, anyway. ]

are you sure? seems to revolve around yukiko quite a bit to me.

it seemed that way even after we fought izanami, so im just stumped as to what changed? and why it feels like it's my fault.

It might be due to us being here. It doesn't seem like she's been getting along as well; not like you have. And she's been here as long as Kanji-kun and I have.

If Yukiko-san was here, maybe she would divulge what's really on her mind with less resistance.

i guess i just find it weird... like, she's dating souji, yanno? she had a massive crush on him and we all know souji is a good guy so... i mean i guess i understand why she felt threatened when rise first arrived but...

i thought it got better and now its turned into this huge deal.

guess youre right though, yukiko is probably the only one who can untangle this mess.

Senpai's also a very open person with his affections.

Perhaps. Well, we don't have that convenience; right now, a friend doesn't give up on their friend. At least, give her some time to cool down then try again.

i know

but is it bad to hope she comes here anyway? i mean whether she arrives or not ill wait a bit and try again, obvs. just. you know.

I don't think so, but after heated arguments, it can be hard to do that. Also, this is Chie-san we're talking about.

[For Chrismas/Firalia/whatever, Gumshoe sends Naoto a present! It's a set of best-selling detective novels that he thinks she might enjoy. With a warning that some of them contain raunchy content! But in terms of the way things are in Lunatia, this is really the closest to a family-friendly detective series that's available! So he hopes it will suffice. He also includes some detective-themed gingerbread cookies.]

[Oh... well, she wasn't really expecting a gift from Gumshoe. When they could get back to Lunatia, she would have to do something to thank him for the present. Time for a new detective tool to help him at work.]

[Oh that's weird. Why are there packages addressed to Kanji and Naoto close to a window? Clearly, it is a mystery. The one addressed to Naoto is addressed henceforth;]

Hopefully up the standards of a Detective Prince.

[Inside is a black and blue scarf, but more importantly in a box, what appears to be a sentai-inspired gun, and a small note to be careful shooting it inside. It will fire lasers because Ren knows someone who had the technology to do so. Who needs bullets anymore?

There's also fluffy handcuffs because he could.]

[... Why does she know people like this again? While she appreciates everything else, the handcuffs are going back. They be uncomfortable in more ways than physical...]

[Kanji's nowhere to be found, but he had to be nearby if Ranger was up and about. Now a very leggy adolescent creature, he would be the one to greet Naoto in the morning with a low, muffled 'roof roof'. He then made some excited tippy taps.

There was a card in his mouth and he was so excited he had a task. Oh boy, oh boy, he got to do a thing!

The card reads the following, joined by cute little doodles of cake and even a small bunny-eared Naoto karate-kicking a boulder in half.]

Happy Birthday, Naoto!

Wow, the big 2-0! That means I'll be your bartender tonight.
But until then, let's have brunch at The Purple Hare and take it easy today.

Reservation's at 11:00. I'll meet you there!

I love you.

Kanji

[ this!! is embarrassing!!!!]

Hey
Just wondering if you have any more of those
things
like the one you gave me

somebody new showed up who could probably
use one.

thanks.

Yes, I can provide you with one. Which would be their preferred?

oh uh
I didn't ask

I don't actually
know him.

He was just on the network making a huge fuss
and it was annoying.
so I told him you could help

Well, that would be a problem.

We'll begin with the sleeve for now. If he wants something to insert as well, tell him it will cost some demichroma.
