Teenagers Scare the Living Shit Out Of Me etc. etc.

[Characters passing by the bulletin board may notice a new message tacked to it!]

Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!

[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!

All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

... Could be. Central went to Granvelle Castle, and there's some wizards there... I don't remember where South went, but maybe there's some wizards there? We went to City of Rain, and you went to Town of Ice. Wouldn't be terrible places to start looking, I guess.

( It can't be that easy though, can it...

Ahito bringing them back on track, though, makes him purse his lips.

... )

... I just don't see why. It's not like I'm expecting a gold medal for... caring.

( The idea of being cared for in turn or establishing an actually positive relationship is difficult for him to parse as possible for him. Those are things that happen to other people... surely. )

...What are you- it's not so you can get rewarded or anything. It's because there's people you care about who probably think you hate them because you suck at communicating.

[Simple as that.]

( ...

He considers this. )

... It's fine if they don't think I care about them. Or... if they don't like me in turn. As long as I can protect them...

( Very Hachiko. But... Given what happened to he, himself, during the East mission - where he was so upset he could not accept the protection given to him from anyone - he can perceive some further nuance in this situation. )

... But... it would a problem if they don't let me.

[At least he seems to be getting it on his own, if only bit by bit.]

It already was a problem.

Make sure you talk to them. This isn't over yet - who knows when you'll need to rely on each other again.

( he doesn't want to admit he cares about people, now he has to make amends???? aguhhh )

You're not my keeper, you don't have to fuss.

( says fussmaster2020 )

Consider it revenge for all the times you insisted on watching me sleep to make sure I wasn't dying or whatever.

[mr bREAKING IN THROUGH THE WINDOW AT ASS O' CLOCK.]

( :/ )

... Humans are fragile. Really fragile. ( Never mind that Ahito's made of glass. ) And considering you almost died twice and didn't tell me, maybe I should be keeping watch on you more often until I know you're actually telling me everything.

( consequences for not telling him stuff!! ... even if it was couched in good intent. )

...

Did you already forget the conversation we just had??

( Pointedly: )

Are you going to announce "I think you're going to blame yourself so I'm not telling you what's wrong with me," or are you going to just quietly judge I'm not meeting that standard and tell me everything's fine?

( In other words, he doesn't know if Ahito's going to be transparent with him or not, and Ahito's vibes suggest he may not be. )

I already said I'd tell you 'til I notice you blaming yourself. Can't really do that without the "telling you" part first.

[Are Mika's brains as fluffy as his hair... smh at this vampire.]

( Sus Cat Gaze.....................

Hmph. )

... As long as you stick to it.

( So, he'll concede, for now. It's not an issue with Ahito, specifically - he just always feels like he's setting himself up to overlook something or fall for some trick when he lowers his guard. )

'd make you better at talking than half of East.

( He and Ginger are fine obviously...(?) (Okay even Mika knows he and Ginger have issues with communication, even with other people - he thinks - but he's obligated to defend the Ginger in this equation.) )
