...what connection are we talking about, exactly? [ i'm sorry to say that rang gets to find out jonas has zero idea red string has been happening because he went from touch week right into red string with a teammate. ] But if that's still there, then...what the hell does that mean?
[ give him a second to think this through. ]
Then again, it's not like it wouldn't be the first time ghosts clung to something they were tied to.
[JONAS NOT KNOWING RED STRING EFFECT IS SO FUNNY HELP ME
alright first of all, Rang just looks at him like ?]
The one where you want to be close to someone, and it hurts when you're not. You get tired faster, enough that you have to be right beside them if you're apart for far too long.
I felt like this since Monday with Rin. Yuzuriha felt the same with cross man -- [his name is WOLFWOOD] and Buzen with Kaveh, and -- you really haven't noticed?
...[ he really. really pauses to think back about this entire fucking week and thinks about his (after)life choices. it's not like he and setsu have really been that apart this week? sometimes he also just feels like garbage in general? like yeah, that's not new.
No, I mean...it's not like Setsu and I have really been apart this week? [ he will just...try to explain the process here. ] And last week...I sort of just thought they were a really touchy kind of person because of some stuff. We're teammates. You obviously spend time with people on your team. And even during the olympics and stuff they came with me while Kazuki went with Alex.
And after what they went through yesterday, it made sense they didn't want to be alone so... [ squinting tiredly. ]
I don't think I've been feeling what other people are feeling because we've been hanging out a lot. Or at least...not as jarring as everybody else, apparently.
Yeah, see, here's the thing. [ he's just theorizing and babbling, ignore him. ] A couple of us found different things while we were out investigating, but they disappeared as soon as we touched them. In this case, pillows. Monika told me you guys were attacked by a Noise, too. And now...ghosts.
You're the only one who can see Rin still, right? Has anybody else had any idea what you're talking about?
[ how the fuck do you forget--well, never mind. he's more interested in this line of thought. ]
...why Buzen? [ TALK TO YOUR TEAMMATES /shakes rang upside down. ] You I can understand if there's some connection between you and Rin, but I wouldn't think that'd count just because you and Buzen are on the same team.
[ ...tiredly: ] All four of you were cursed? [ it's debatable if he saw any of the shenanigans, tbh. ]
[rang looks in the distance and decides that he can't kill jonas for something a lot of other people noticed,]
I thought I was in love with Buzen and D for three days. Buzen and D thought they were in love with me. Matsui is already in love Buzen, so who knows what he felt.
[very evenly, very matter-of-fact. in fact, he says it so calmly that it sounds that he isn't calm at all, that is the vibe.]
I know those feelings were fake because the first thing I did yesterday morning was try and kill Buzen.
[ you know what this all tracks, including rang wanting to kill buzen. so he's just nodding and he's like "cool, no further questions about that." ]
Seems like there's been a bit of that going around. I know a few others that thought they were in love, too. Wore off sometime yesterday. [ that's his only offer. ] This is, like, an aside, but remind me again how you actually ended up on a team with these people?
Fair enough. [ but he does kind of frown a little after that. ] Five days really wasn't enough time to get a team together that works perfectly. Even without an alternative, there are worse options.
[ pondering... ]
Even if your whole love-curse thing wore off, maybe the connection you guys had is still like...giving off residuals? Or something.
It's not like I arrived here with anyone I knew either.
[meaningfully.... though it'd be just as bad if rang arrived with castmates since they all hate him too,]
Maybe. It depends on if Matsui and D are seeing Rin too. [thinks about asking them..... doesn't do it] I suppose we'll figure out during trial tomorrow.
Even then. It's not like that always guarantees things will be fine either.
[ leaves it at that though. ]
If the entirety of BDSM is seeing Rin, I'm gonna have a whole bunch of questions. [ but yes. trial. that thing. ] ...worst case scenario we can ask the reapers to give you a stool to sit on near the body.
[ that's not what he really wanted to say, but it's funnier and also a valid point he can't stop thinking about now. ]

week 1, friday
Will you tell Alex that I'm sorry?
[for what]
no subject
Depends. Do I get to know for what?
no subject
[SINCE
SHE IS THE ONE WHO FOUND HIS FCKING BODY]
no subject
I...is that supposed to be a joke?
[ WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???? ]
no subject
[as if the idea of being an incredible asshole to alex is preferable to what's going on]
I keep seeing him. With his sister, his mother. Swimming, having breakfast. He's everywhere. He's behind you right now.
no subject
he is like. not sure what to think. but also. he's not going to like...immediately write it off...for reasons. ]
...if I find out you're fucking with me later, I swear to god. [ but he sighs. ] What does that even mean? Like...when did this start, and also, how?
no subject
It started when I woke up this morning. And I don't know how. Maybe because of our connection? I still want to be near him, even though he's erased.
[at that he laughs thinly,]
But I already knew that would happen. I didn't count on the ghosts though.
no subject

...he frowns very suddenly and abruptly. ]
This explains so much.
no subject
...I don't know what to say.
[that's as nice as he's gonna be about this,]
no subject
And after what they went through yesterday, it made sense they didn't want to be alone so... [ squinting tiredly. ]
I don't think I've been feeling what other people are feeling because we've been hanging out a lot. Or at least...not as jarring as everybody else, apparently.
[ NOW GO BACK TO EXPLAINING YOUR RINS. ]
no subject
Rang like 'i guess this makes sense.... imagine choosing to be near people enough that you don't notice funky effects like this one!!! damb']
Well, there's no reason that's going to change now, since you'll be spending nine hours together again.
[his gaze turns inward a little,]
...I'll probably have to be next to Rin.
no subject
...think if you asked the reapers they could figure out a way to turn it off?
[ wow that actually does kind of suck. haha. ]
no subject
[don't ask why he asked]
So it's not like it's a complete surprise. The ghosts or whatever are though.
no subject
he will not ask. ]
Yeah, see, here's the thing. [ he's just theorizing and babbling, ignore him. ] A couple of us found different things while we were out investigating, but they disappeared as soon as we touched them. In this case, pillows. Monika told me you guys were attacked by a Noise, too. And now...ghosts.
You're the only one who can see Rin still, right? Has anybody else had any idea what you're talking about?
no subject
...Netzach mentioned that Buzen was seeing Rin too. I haven't talked to him or the others yet.
[talk to ur fcking teammates rang]
Maybe it's because we're all one team? We were all cursed on Monday too, so.
no subject
...why Buzen? [ TALK TO YOUR TEAMMATES /shakes rang upside down. ] You I can understand if there's some connection between you and Rin, but I wouldn't think that'd count just because you and Buzen are on the same team.

no subject
rang like this is very interesting and maybe i want know the details to see the pool of suspects i can narrow down, but oh this question]
D was the one who invited me. I only said yes because I didn't have an alternative.
[rang like ill wait to grab whoever's left over]
no subject
Fair enough. [ but he does kind of frown a little after that. ] Five days really wasn't enough time to get a team together that works perfectly. Even without an alternative, there are worse options.

If anyone asks, then you can tell them why.
