[bighand]

Jae- ha what ki nd of weapon do you tihnk youl'lbecome

[razzledazzles]

[From the other side of the very same room, a long ringtone plays for that message. Jae-Ha shifts to pick it up sleepily, staring at the screen before he realizes that Kija has texted him... from the other bed.

Hm.]

One that can one day get a full night's sleep, I hope.

[bighand]

[Jae-Ha you are going to wake Yona, this is somehow communicated via Kija sputtering as quietly as he can and waving his hand at the space between their beds after his own ringtone goes off.]

Ididn 't thing it WOULD make soudn!

[razzledazzles]

[And despite that panicked flailing, Kija makes Jae-Ha's ringtone set off again with that message.]

Were you thinking it would be silent and I'd wake hours later to find this message? Yours is a bit dull.

[bighand]

[cRUD]

Jae-Ha!!

[There's a rustling noise, like he's very much about to chuck his phone across the room at Jae-Ha, but he flops back down a moment later. Hrmngh rude...

Now he's shout-whispering.]

You were supposed to see it in the morning.

[razzledazzles]

[Jae-Ha turns his head just enough against the pillow to look across the room at Kija as he sends another message.]

It's 4 in the morning.

[So, you know, he did see it in the morning after all.]

late on 4/19 or early on 4/20, who can say

[churchbelle]

[Hazel's wasted no time in getting as far away from the disaster area as quickly as he could, the moment Sanae no longer needed his help taking down one of the tampered-with ayakashi. He's made rounds around his own temple to make sure none of that hideous magical graffiti has made it that far, and spent the rest of the evening in and checking up on no one.

At this absurd hour, he's still not exactly checking up on Jae-Ha, but he's certainly texting him. Hi.]

You know they make watches that light up in the dark?

[shut up]

[razzledazzles]

[It's a rare night where Jae-Ha is actually getting a fair amount of sleep, but the ringtone is enough to stir him awake. He's already so slow at texting that it's probably not too noticeable that he takes a minute to reply.]

Do they, now? I wonder if they make your ties like that, too.

[Hello, Hazel, what's up.]

[churchbelle]

[Did he wake him up... It's too hard to tell, and he's not thinking about it anyway. Jae-Ha responded, and that's what counts.]

Why would a tie need to light up in the dark? Don't talk crazy.

[razzledazzles]

Why would anything need to light up?

[This message ends up sent a little faster, since he's attentive suddenly. But he still has to perfect his slow typing, so there's that.]

You're up late.

[churchbelle]

Don't get smart with me. [It's too late for that. Meanwhile, only Jae-Ha's slow typing spares Hazel this humiliation... It's time to put the phone away and go to bed, he was never here.]

Can't sleep. I figured you might want to know about the watches.

[razzledazzles]

I'm enlightened, really.

[Get it, hah. But oh, an admission... What to do with that. Even with the watch after comment...]

It must be really bad if you're willing to admit that instead of making excuses. Well, I'm not so busy that I can't talk about watches all night, if that's what you want.

5/6 probably earlyish

[doublesmall]

Jae-Ha. You're one of the ones who's remembered stuff, right?

[razzledazzles]

Yes. Why are you asking?

[doublesmall]

Just making sure nothing ever happened, after that.

[razzledazzles]

Are you concerned about me? How touching. I'm as alive and well as a shinki can be. Nothing happened.

[doublesmall]

Yeah, sure. Something like that.

You're positive it's fine, though? If there's anything to expect, I need to know about it.

[razzledazzles]

Hang on, did you remember something yourself?

backdated to May 15th at night

[galactically]

[Somewhere in the night, there is an elaborate text message waiting for the recipient.]

☆ Congratulations! ☆

You've been cordially invited to Spa LaQua, a special hot spring resort where you can soak all your troubles away! Get a spa treatment, have a massage, dine like a king! With all the trouble that's been happening lately, this is an invitation you just can't refuse.

May 20th, afternoon. Now don't be late!

♡ Sheryl

[Attached to this message is a picture of what the hot springs look like. Also directions to the place itself, which is somewhere in Tokyo.]

[razzledazzles]

[This message is delayed quite a few hours because he was out and about on this date, but when he does answer, his enthusiasm is hard to hide.]

It looks amazing, Sheryl! Am I allowed to bring a date? I'm afraid I would only be able to come if my boyfriend could accompany me.

[galactically]

exclusive invite only!

but what's this? you have a boyfriend?

[...]

why didn't you tell me sooner, Jae-Ha?? who is the lucky man?!

[razzledazzles]

So that's a no? That's too bad, but I hope you enjoy yourself.

I thought you knew! Wasn't it obvious? It's Hazel, my god. He's very beautiful. Should I send a picture?

[galactically]

that won't be a problem. i will enjoy myself to the fullest!
expect a souvenir from yours truly ♥

should you? absolutely, this is a must! send it to me right now!!

As requested, the location is here, just north of the wetlands in Mistral Park. The fight will take place in roughly thirty minutes.

[razzledazzles]

[It takes him a little too long to reply, figuring out texting and making sure his punctuation and spelling is perfect. Technology.]

Wonderful. Thank you.
