[ The nice thing about living with your twin is that your laptops can do double duty. That’s how this whole thing happens: they have one laptop facing them, webcam on as they stand in the middle of their living room, and the other laptop is on the table behind them. There’s a video playing on it that’s tough to see, but the twins aren’t watching it either.

What matters is the song that’s playing.

The looks on the twins’ faces are very serious as the song gets started. It takes only about fifteen seconds for the beat to really drop, and they hold perfectly still for that time. But once the music really gets going…

… so do the twins.

Like, the whole shebang. Hand motions over their heads, swinging their hips, it’s perfect. They do the spins, they have choreography, did they actually take the time to learn all of this?

(Of course they did.)

Then they come to the part of the song with the… spine twisting. You know. That spine twisting. Souji will stop because Yu stops, and they just kind of look at each other.

Then Souji … does it. Like, does it perfectly. It’s amazing. Who knew a human could defy all logic and anatomy like that?

Yu tries it…

… and it’s actually audible, the way his spine cracks. He’ll end up stumbling off camera, holding his back and wheeze-laughing to go collapse somewhere. Souji just looks back at the camera and immediately goes to turn it right off. ]

[ Five minutes later, this text accompanies the video. ]

Taking Yu to the hospital. One like = one prayer . Send gifts and flowers to dorm #211 please and thank you.

[ there she goes again, flaunting her money in front of him ]

If I'm remembering correctly, it's the Venus flytrap. He likes just bouquets of those in a pot.

[ no he doesn't. don't listen to souji ]

[elevelvetor]

[ oh my god!!!!!! she's just never gonna talk to souji again, how about that ]

i don't believe we have those around the shop...
but i will stop by elsewhere and make sure to bring a few by as well.

[ i'm sure she'll find another way to do it. she'd just wear a dress she sewed with hundred dollar bills and pass him on the streets and remind him how poor he is. thanks, liz ]

You're the best.

But if it's too much trouble, then bring your stinkiest flowers instead. The worse they smell, the better they are for Yu. He likes to use them as his cologne.

[elevelvetor]

[ she wouldn't do that... that would be tacky-looking and wouldn't fit her fashion style here at all!!! ]

i believe we might have some stapelia gigantea somewhere in the gardens...
they're incredibly mesmerizing visually, and they only grow about, well... a little over half a foot, i suppose?
i'll bring a bloom by.

[tarotcards]

[ as if she wouldn't try tho ]

You are truly the best.

What would we do without you?

[elevelvetor]

be without one of the world's most attractive-looking, yet off-putting blossoms short of any actual rafflesias.
and perhaps without someone willing to indulge your silly request.

[ though that goes for her as well, but saying so is sort of too sappy. ]

[tarotcards]

What makes you say this request is silly? It's a very serious one for a dying man. Nothing silly about that.

[elevelvetor]

oh, of course.
just as your dance was a very serious one, passed down through generation upon generation.

[tarotcards]

Yes, this dance has been in my family for at least five generations. We pride ourselves on being able to show everyone the dance of the Narukamis.

If you like, I could teach you it as well.

[elevelvetor]

are you inviting me to become a Narukami then? how bold.
