[ is it an alien in a spaceship? rin squints at it for a moment.
then goes back to the cat videos. that second one is really cute, okay. (and haru is definitely the parrot. there's no chance that rin himself is that annoying.) ]
it's a bird like this♫ꉂ (๑¯ਊ¯)σ or does this one fit better ⊹⋛⋋( ՞ਊ ՞)⋌⋚⊹
[ it's all about perspective on both counts. makoto's current zen allows him to take an objective stance when it comes to identifying that weird push-pull symbiosis between haru and rin.
or maybe he's trying to assign everyone a fursona, who knows. makoto's love for small animals can't be beat. ]
i think they're cute sorry rin, i'll be more mindful from now on
[ or risk offending rin's delicate shoujo sensibilities!! time to strategically ignore that jab since things between him and haru currently hinge on ambivalence. ]
wow those really fit!! that vid matches gou really well rei is a pretty energetic guy huh .......
[ cue a seven minute time lapse while makoto fiddles around with the cerevice. ]
there we go! this one fits you and haru much better
WHY DIDNT YOU MENTION THSI SOONER WE NEED TO WE NEED TO LOOK RIGHT NOW LETS GO
[ yeah, he's busting out of the makeshift shelter/hotel/miscellaneous retreat he's sequestered himself in thus far. the most horrific thing in this convo thus far ... ]
it's like doing porn.... even if you do it only 1nce you're always a porn star
i'm coming!!!!! i'll check the apartments you check the gardens i don't know how these things are programmed but she might be hanging out in one of the trees text haru, too. just to make sure
[ a beat, then - ]
use the flashlight on your cerevice
[ one can never be too careful about these things, especially when makoto's in panic mode. ]
i did!!!! i'm looking rin i'm scared i've never let her out of the house this place is so big and she'd get lost even if she made it out and she was a present and if i lost her i don't know what i'd do
[ and there's a strangled interval of radio silence until makoto invariably texts rin again. ]
we'll find her, stop worrying i only went through the first building, still have a few more to go if we don't find her we can put a message on the network do you have a pic of her??
[ if it was his own cat, rin might have been similarly frazzled... thankfully captaining has taught him a bit about crisis control. ]
i'm the personification of that one shaking head emote rn
i have one here but i'll need to go through my album for the rest do you want them all now?
[ they're at a juxtaposition already, composed against frenetic, but makoto doesn't need to point out the obvious now that the cool air has done a number in sobering him (somewhat). ]
i went through the apts a while earlier and i didn't see her at that time i'll keep looking so you should go get some rest
[ makoto can't exactly ignore the acrid bite of guilt stinging at his conscience, but no need to bother haru (again) at such a late hour. if things go south, he'll ask them both for help in the morning. ]
shaking with abject adoration..... dw i get this a lot
nah that's good for now did she have a serial # or anything???? wondering if she had, i don't know gps or something?? tech's pretty advanced here did haru have any ideas?
[ honestly, makoto. rin doesn't give any further notice to makoto's attempt to continue the search alone. something about friendship, remember that? ]
[ of course, the serial number is nothing more than gibberish to rin, who stares at it for a moment before giving up. better to spend his energy searching the apartments. ]
where'd you buy her? instruction manual?? i'm gonna text haru if you don't
[ it's as much of a threat as rin makes it sound. ]
anyway stop apologizing just treat me to steak later
[ win/win. since his arrival, he hasn't spent as much time with makoto or haru as he would have liked. ]
rin is spirit channeling your inbox
ehh?? haru's not that touch-feely
he's more (=TェT=) than ୯ૃ(⁎⁾̵ ਊ ⁽̵)੭ુ⁼³₌₃
i just want to love all the cats, why this
what the hell is that second emote
[ is it an alien in a spaceship? rin squints at it for a moment.
then goes back to the cat videos. that second one is really cute, okay. (and haru is definitely the parrot. there's no chance that rin himself is that annoying.) ]
and i'm the spider-man cat
[ a beat, then -- ]
you can be this one
[ the carrot is actually haru. ]

what makes you say that?
[ don't be lewd. ]
this one reminds me of nagisa and haru
[ and kisumi, too, although that opinion hits a little too close to home at the moment. ]
i'm stumped for rei and gou though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wzCGiNwAW4
maybe if picasso rose from the dead to draw those emoji
[ or maybe i don't have all the requisite font packs, nbd nbd. ]
and you wag your tail when you see haru
[ not to mention the puppy dog eyes. this is fact. ]
this one's rei
[ you can practically hear it screaming "NOT BEAUTIFUL" ]
i guess this one can be gou
[ yes, his sister is the prettiest cat of all. naturally. ]
how did u find these vids ... sorcery
sorry rin, i'll be more mindful from now on
[ or risk offending rin's delicate shoujo sensibilities!! time to strategically ignore that jab since things between him and haru currently hinge on ambivalence. ]
wow those really fit!! that vid matches gou really well
rei is a pretty energetic guy huh .......
[ cue a seven minute time lapse while makoto fiddles around with the cerevice. ]
there we go! this one fits you and haru much better
im a faithful disciple of mother google
don't apologize for stupid things
[ there, that sounded suitably gruff. ]
rei's a nerd, you mean [ it's a fond insult, alright. ]
that works. i'm still better suited for that spider-man cat
this one is you and haru
[ hint, hint. ]
ive never voluntarily used the bing search engine in my entire life
rei tries harder than anyone else on the team to succeed
i'm proud of him
[ proud of his friends, obviously, but that's par for the course.
still, it's hard for makoto to remain painstakingly neutral when rin keeps throwing curveballs. ]
haru is that cute
i don't know if he would agree though
that was weirdly defensive
i'm proud of him too
he's still a nerd
[ says the alpha nerd. he's seen some shit. ]
haru's opinion doesn't count
he'd probably prefer fish videos
drops thread
lol
[ serial overachievers, the lot of them.
randyrin's no exception. ]haru would enjoy something like this
too bad there aren't any aquariums around here
good riddance. i don't associate with bing users
probably a good thing there isn't
he'd take a dolphin as his bf instead
[ if makoto thought that sharing his secret with rin would allow him to escape the requisite teasing, he was sorely mistaken. ]
this is bullying
rin's such a #poser. tactical ignorance only goes so far. ]
you might be able to find one in a cybuddy shop
do you think it'd be hard to maintain? i think finding one for you would be nice too
well-deserved, though
a boyfriend or a dolphin???
[ speaking of... ]
did your cat make it out of the flood okay
i used bing like oNE TIME also 1/2
[ smart aleck.
but all of that is sidelined for the sudden, soul-crushing realization rin presents him with at approximately 2 a.m. in the morning because wh — ]
i lied 2/3
done
WE NEED TO LOOK RIGHT NOW LETS GO
[ yeah, he's busting out of the makeshift shelter/hotel/miscellaneous retreat he's sequestered himself in thus far. the most horrific thing in this convo thus far ... ]
it's like doing porn.... even if you do it only 1nce you're always a porn star
you seriously FORGOT about your cat?????
wow
[ he expected better of you, makoto... ]
where did you last see her??
WHEN did you last see her??? did you check with haru
destroys u and obliterates this convo from memory
[ newsflash: it's hard to type when he's sprinting aimlessly through the dark. ]
i didn't forget i was
preoccupied. a lot's been on my mind lately
[ makoto's just about ready to shoot himself in the foot, equanimity broken for his poor calico. ]
at home. that was a while ago rin i
haru would have said something
ri n
[ help him?????????????? ]
you're welcome
you check the gardens
i don't know how these things are programmed but
she might be hanging out in one of the trees
text haru, too. just to make sure
[ a beat, then - ]
use the flashlight on your cerevice
[ one can never be too careful about these things, especially when makoto's in panic mode. ]
im so salty byE
rin i'm scared i've never let her out of the house
this place is so big and she'd get lost even if she made it out and
she was a present and if i lost her i don't know what i'd do
[ and there's a strangled interval of radio silence until makoto invariably texts rin again. ]
did you find her??
nahhhhh u love me
i only went through the first building, still have a few more to go
if we don't find her we can put a message on the network
do you have a pic of her??
[ if it was his own cat, rin might have been similarly frazzled... thankfully captaining has taught him a bit about crisis control. ]
i'm the personification of that one shaking head emote rn
do you want them all now?

shaking with abject adoration..... dw i get this a lot
did she have a serial # or anything????
wondering if she had, i don't know
gps or something?? tech's pretty advanced here
did haru have any ideas?
[ honestly, makoto. rin doesn't give any further notice to makoto's attempt to continue the search alone. something about friendship, remember that? ]
2nd building done, on my way to the 3rd
shameless
hold on i'll send you the details
[ and shortly afterwards, rin should receive the notif with a bunch of technobabble roughly passing for a serial code. ]
i don't want to bother haru
[ anyways, it's not so much disregard as it is sublimation. like rin said, makoto's the one who lost her to begin with. ]
i'm sorry for overreacting earlier
i really appreciate your help rin. thank you
no subject
where'd you buy her? instruction manual??
i'm gonna text haru if you don't
[ it's as much of a threat as rin makes it sound. ]
anyway stop apologizing
just treat me to steak later
[ win/win. since his arrival, he hasn't spent as much time with makoto or haru as he would have liked. ]
no subject
[ it's almost implicit, half-typing out you were there, remember before backspacing, continuing on without a discernible break. ]
i texted him earlier for something else
he's tired. just let him rest
[ this is like a cautionary tale with no moral, but makoto appreciates the sentiment. ]
sure. do you have a place in mind?
for later
