So I'm not a big laws guy, but I'm pretty sure walking around with a giant scythe would be against some kind of law, despite that being a shitty kind of weapon. Does it make a difference, not-getting-arrested-wise, if that scythe is a book at the time?

[He'd say something about wanting it a month or two ago, but he can't lift it when it's a scythe, so it's not that useful.]

Also Retrospec doesn't care what your legal address is, but I don't think that should surprise anyone.

[It is important, though it might take Shuji a bit to articulate why.]

You're a good friend, John. I'm sure you're 5000x better than your guy in all ways.

[ confirmed: still embarrassing ]

that's right.

[ not that it's... hard to better than steinbeck. ]

sure. just keep in mind that i know next to nothing about braids.
beyond having braided my sis's hair a few times

It's a good thing we aren't friends because of fashion sense.

[Either his or John's.]

[ wow ok rude?? but ]

good point

[It's true.]

I'm glad you like me better than past me, but that's not that hard. Past me was kind of a fuckhead.

"past me"? is that who he is, past you?

That's the impression I got from what the teams reported after things calmed down. Past selves. 'Dazai Osamu' is his pen name. His real name is 'Tsushima Shuji'.

[ there's a delay in john's response. he reads over it a few times, thinks on all that he's learned and ignored from last month. it's still like trying to fit together a puzzle while missing half the pieces, all the while dreading what its final image should show. ]

[ and it's gone beyond the realm of his selfishness, in this instance. and- gosh, he really needs to get it together here and stop whiplashing in conversations should even the slightest shade of this topic crop up. ]

i guess i don't really know what to think anymore.
sorry, though, for what it's worth. which isn't a whole lot.

It's okay. I mean, fuck that guy, he was a dick. But even if he is my past self, I don't have to turn out that way. I'm still me.

[ hm.

there's a little less of a pause this time, at least. ]

that's true.
i'm glad you know that for yourself.

[ and a second text quick after, because lol: ]

(*＾v＾*)

(*^｡^*)

[Yeah, this was getting too serious.]

Same goes for you, you know.
