Texts

[TEXT to Hiroshi]: Change of plans, kinda. I’m still heading over to Kyoto but you don’t have to prepare the guest room for me. Because I kinda invited Kin and Eliza to come to Kyoto with me. So we’re renting a hotel room.

[TEXT to Eliot]: You invited Eliza and Kin?

[TEXT to Hiroshi]: Yeah, I hope you don’t mind? I mean? Eliza been kinda cooped up, and Kin doesn’t know how to deal with her, so I thought it’ll be good for Eliza if she got a change of scenery, and maybe hang out with other kids her age instead of just us guys. You don’t mind do you?

[TEXT to Eliot]: Eliot, calm down. I don’t mind. I just hope Eliza can put up with my sisters.I mean, they can get overwhelming at time. But I’m not sure if my sisters can join us on our outing. They both have school this saturday. And Risa has singing lessons after that, but maybe after that we can introduce them to each other. They’ll probably hit it off no problem. So it’ll probably be just me, you, Eliza, and Kin for Saturday. But Sunday they should be free to join us.

[TEXT to Hiroshi]: Thank you!

[TEXT to Eliot]: Don’t thank me yet!! You’re the one who’s gonna have to deal with all of them on Sunday. I’ll just sit back and laugh. Maybe I’ll give my sisters some candies and let you deal with the aftermath. That sound fun!!

[TEXT to Eliot]: Just remember, my sisters don’t know anything about UG so I’ll like to still keep it that way.

[TEXT to Hiroshi]: I know. I’ll tell Kin and Eliza. Don’t worry about it. See you soon!

[nequissimum-messorem]

Eliot stared at his phone. This was wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. And yet, he won’t ever complain about Hiroshi forgetting his stupid overnight bag, that result in delaying his trip. Because if what this message said, is true...Hiroshi.

Quickly he composed a new text

TEXT from Eliot: HIROSHI. Get off the next stop. I don’t care. Get off. Don’t come here. There’s a state of emergency. You have to get off. Get off at the next station.

TEXT from Eliot: Hiroshi!

TEXT from Eliot: Hiroshi! Did you get my text?

TEXT from Eliot: There’s a state of emergency. You need to get off and stay somewhere. At a hotel or something. I’ll pay for it. Just. Just stay away from Shibuya.

TEXT from Eliot: Please.

TEXT from Eliot: I won’t ever speak to you again if you don’t stay away.

TEXT from Eliot: Hiroshi!

TEXT from Hiroshi: I’m off. I got your text. What happened? What’s going on? Eliot, are you okay? 

Eliot all but collapse against the counter. Good. Good. That was good. He wouldn’t lose another friend. Not this time. 

He picked up his phone and start texting.

DAY 4  OF TRG - AFTERNOON

TEXT from Eliot: Kill me now.

TEXT from Hiroshi: The guy’s back again?

TEXT from Eliot: No. Nora scolded me for what I said to a player.

TEXT from Hiroshi: Oh? Which one?

TEXT from Eliot: The one who was trying to give me iced tea.

TEXT from Eliot: Apparently it’s not appropriate to refer to generic players as a reaper’s plaything. Especially an impressionable one.

TEXT from Hiroshi: Have you ever thought, maybe you could go easy on them?

TEXT from Eliot: I already am. no one got thrown out, and no game of Splat the Player occurred.

TEXT from Hiroshi: If I didn’t know you so well, I’ll say that’s a really low bar. But come on, I bet you haven’t even smiled at one! Aim higher!

TEXT from Eliot: They’re all ice cream hogging morning people. No.

TEXT from Hiroshi: Doesn’t it only seem that way because you got the morning and the graveyard shift?

TEXT from Eliot: The point still stand.

TEXT from Hiroshi: At least smile at someone.

TEXT from Eliot: No.

TEXT from Hiroshi: Eliot

TEXT from Hiroshi: Eli?

TEXT from Hiroshi: Eliiiiot stop ignoring my texts!!

TEXT from Hiroshi: You’re breaking my heart!

TEXT from Hiroshi: Okay, okay, you don’t have to smile at any of the players.

TEXT from Hiroshi: I’m coming over tomorrow instead and grovel in person then!

Day 4 of TRG - Morning

TEXT From Eliot TO Kin and Hiroshi: How do I deal with this overly friendly player.

TEXT From Hiroshi: You haven’t thrown that one out the window already?

TEXT From Eliot: She’s wearing a reaper hoodie and keep trying to offer me iced tea.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Aww, how sweet.

TEXT From Eliot: It’s not.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Just let her be. It’s not like she’s doing any harm in the shop, right?

TEXT From Eliot: I don’t want her here. Players are annoying. You know that.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Even if they bring you iced tea?

TEXT From Eliot: Yes.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Just go easy on her okay? Even if she’s a player.

UNSENT TEXT FROM ELIOT: I can’t.

[nequissimum-messorem]

Day 1 of TRG

TEXT From Eliot: I am throwing myself off this shop’s rooftop.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Uhhh

TEXT From Hiroshi: What happened?

TEXT From Eliot: Fellow coworker.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Malcolm?

TEXT From Eliot: No, a reaper coworker I mean. 

TEXT From Hiroshi: Who?

TEXT From Eliot: Nagito. I mentioned him before. The one who came by last Game at Dreamscape

TEXT From Hiroshi: The one that hit on you?! :O

TEXT From Eliot: Yeah. him.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Fun. So what happened?

TEXT From Hiroshi: Eliot?

TEXT From Hiroshi: Is it that bad?

TEXT From Eliot: Yes

TEXT From Hiroshi: ...so what did he do exactly? More flirting?

TEXT From Eliot: He kissed me!!!

TEXT From Eliot: Hiroshi???????

TEXT From Hiroshi: Calm down first. What happened?

TEXT From Eliot: I don’t know. He just came in, for something then started flirting, and then he just?? Kissed me? 

TEXT From Hiroshi: Do you need me to hit him?

TEXT From Eliot: Please don’t.

TEXT From Hiroshi: You’re not going to do anything to him either. So I might as well do it for you.

TEXT From Eliot: Don’t.

TEXT From Hiroshi: The offer is good anytime.

TEXT From Eliot: I know. I’ll be fine.

UNSENT TEXT From Hiroshi: No you won’t. Cause you’re kinda stupid that way.

[nequissimum-messorem]

TWO DAYS BEFORE THE GAME

TEXT From Eliot: I am never taking your advice again.

TEXT From Hiroshi: ?

TEXT From Eliot: I invited my coworker to try that new place.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Oh? Is this the part where everything that could go wrong went wrong and you ended up wearing iced tea on your favorite shirt?

TEXT From Eliot: No.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Oh, then what happened?

TEXT From Hiroshi: Eliot?

TEXT From Eliot: We went to that restaurant. Had small talk. Got dinner, then he wanted some ice cream as dessert. So he took it to go. And then just as we were splitting up, he just HIT ON ME!

TEXT From Eliot: Hiroshi, did you get my text?

TEXT From Hiroshi: Yeah, I’m just surprised. You really attract all the guys don’t you? I’m jealous.

TEXT From Eliot: Shut up.

TEXT From Hiroshi: So what happened afterward? Did you tell him off?

TEXT From Eliot: He’s my coworker. I can’t just yell at him to knock it off.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Eliot, you shouldn’t be afraid to just tell your coworkers to fuck off. Fellow reaper or not,

TEXT From Hiroshi: You’re really too kind. How about I tell your coworker to fuck off instead?

TEXT From Eliot: No.

TEXT From Hiroshi: At least think about it for a second!

TEXT From Eliot: I did. The answer is still no.

TEXT From Hiroshi: Eliiiii

TEXT From Eliot: Don’t call me that.

TEXT From Hiroshi: ot!! I pressed enter too soon.

TEXT From Hiroshi: I can sense your disbelief on the other side of the screen. Anyway we’re still on for this weekend right?

TEXT From Eliot: I still have work, but I’ll do my best.

TEXT From Hiroshi: That’s fine! Just looking forward to it :D

TEXT From Eliot: Same here. Work is starting. So I’ll talk to you soon again, Hiroshi.

UNSENT TEXT From ELIOT: Thanks.

[angstmemes]

Send me an age and my muse will tell you one thing that happened to them when they were that age that they will never forget.

Send my muse a nightmare. Make my muse scream and wake up in a sweat.

Icebreaker starters!

"Are you alright?"

"Can you open this for me?"

"Where am I?"

"Who are you?"

"It's freezing out here!"

"Can you show me where the nearest store is?"

"Have you seen my pet anywhere?"

"How did you find me?"

"Can I hide here for a few minutes?"

"What are you making?"

"Help! Someone help me!"

"I'm lost..."

"That smells delicious!"

"I can't do this!"

"I think this is your mail."

"Is that mine? I've been looking everywhere for this!"

"Run!"

"That was close..."

"How did you find this place?"

"Is this yours?"

"I think you dropped this."

"I've been robbed!"

"Thank you so much!"

"Is this your home?"

"Step into the light, so I can see you..."

"It's dark in here!"

"It's so hot outside!"

"Is that fire?"

"Happy Unbirthday!"

"What's that?"

"Why am I here?"

"Can you help me find something?"

[nequissimum-messorem]

A note was placed on a fridge:

Hachi,

I don’t know when I’ll see you, if I’ll see you before this weekend. So this note is just in case. Anyway Composer Linda is having me go district hopping for the next couple of months. Don’t worry about the house, I’ll still be paying rent and send some money in case of an emergency. Like, a window broke, or the rent went up, or a fire came and burn down the house and you need to stay in a hotel. Or if you are involved in a big heist and need a fancy dress to get into the target’s party. Just please use it when you need it. Don’t hesitate. My number is xxx-xxx-xxxx.

I’ll be dropping by if the district isn’t too far away. Remember give me a head up next time before you invite another player or someone to stay at the house.

That should be all.

-Eliot

[nequissimum-messorem]

I’m so confused.

Dear Composer Kei,

I am very grateful for your willingness to allow Eliot into your previous game as support reaper. I would also like to state, if you have any issue with him during your game, please inform me.

Right now, I have some concerns about Eliot’s situation. I sent him to your district to hopefully curb his desire for erasures of players, or at least be more willing to help the players out. Unfortunately given his texts to active reaper, Maria, I do not think he has changed. I find myself rather reluctant to give him a second chance. But I must have hope and try again.

So I will be sending Eliot district hopping all over Japan. I am hoping you’ll be willing to have Eliot in your next game when he is done. And again, I hope you’ll inform me of any issues or changed with Eliot. Otherwise, I’ll assume he has not change, and I may have to take actions against him. I do not have any use for a reaper who cannot balance his duties of helping and pushing the players on.

Many thanks,

Composer Linda
