Hey.
I'm going into the forest to see those shadow monsters for myself, if you want to come.

[He's not going to make Yusuke do anything here since it might be dangerous, but he's kind of counting on Yusuke to agree.]

[bufudyne]

Of course. I would very much wish to accompany you.

I was curious as well when I spoke to Dave about them.

[NATURALLY, HE'S COMING. How could he not??]

[theshowsover]

I knew I could count on you, Yusuke.

[A pause while he considers. There is something he needs to tell Yusuke about before they do this.]

Akechi is here. I asked him to come, too.
He wanted to go anyway so we might as well go together.

[Just a jolly jaunt through the woods with his would-be murderer. What could go wrong?]

[bufudyne]

What?

[no.... WHAT???]

[theshowsover]

[Okay maybe he could have found a better way to break this news.

He starts to explain, then remembers something important. If Akechi doesn't remember everything, maybe Yusuke doesn't either.]

Do you remember Shido's ship?

[He'll start there.]

[Wandering by the water can sometimes be a little soothing, even if the water itself is... well. That.

Minato still finds himself drawn there as if hoping that it will someday feel a bit more like Iwatodai, hands tucked into his pockets as he walks. That's what draws him here, anyway--what keeps him there, though, is spying a familiar head of blue hair amidst the bleak backdrop.

Oh, huh...]

It's... Kitagawa-san, right?

action;

[bufudyne]

Ah.

[Yusuke turns his head to look over one shoulder. His sketchbook is ever-present in the bag over his shoulder, but he's not sketching today, just gazing out at the unnerving water. He totally lost track of time, how long has it been...]

Yes, that's right. Arisato. [He smiles.] Thank you for your assistance last time.

[he found his friend thanks to u minato]

[messianic]

[Oh...!]

You found Akira-san, then?

[That's definitely good news, and Minato comes closer to properly have this conversation. He's curious to know!!]

[bufudyne]

Yes. I was fortunate to find him shortly after we spoke.

[He turns to face him properly rather than stare in artistic melancholy outward.]

How have you found it? Settling in here?

Dear Fox,

I've taken it upon myself to pen you a message; I believe you and I have some things to discuss. Firstly, however, I must ask: are you well? The business with these Shadows has been nothing short of troubling.

[Oh gosh what does his thief senpai want with him... how worrying...]

Troubling is certainly the word for it, but for the time being I am fine and relatively uninjured.

And yourself?

[heartsteals]

[ it's nothing bad, yusuke, gosh! ]

Your use of "relatively" gives me some pause. Suffice to say that I am fine; I won't be outsmarted by my own shadow.

[ it totally tripped him but nobody saw except minato so it DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!! ]

No matter that. I happened to notice you weren't wearing your mask last we met. I suppose there wasn't much to be stolen from a few harpies?

[bufudyne]

[Ah yes he was noticed... as expected of Lupin.]

It is not something that I wear at all times...

In the first place, it was only something I began to wear after certain events back home. Wouldn't you say that phantom thieves shouldn't broadcast their true identities too obviously?

action!

[theshowsover]

[Hello Yusuke, guess who has shown up at your house.

It's Akira!

And he comes bearing gifts in a bag! How mysterious.]

[bufudyne]

[SUCH MYSTERY.

Yusuke's quick to open up the door, smiling at once.]

Akira. A pleasant surprise, what brings you here?

[theshowsover]

I found something in town. You have more use for it than I do.

[And so this dismissive tone leads to him holding up the bag for Yusuke to take.

Inside are paints, mostly acrylic, but there are some watercolors in there, too. All of them are dingy and gray except, excitingly enough, the purple and orange.]

[bufudyne]

[!!!!!!!!]

Paints... I have been looking, but I hadn't been able to find any. These even have colour...!

[HE'S SO EXCITED. He eagerly holds up the two coloured ones and while it is... a little tricky to think about how he will paint with just two colours, maybe he will be able to learn something new from the limitation!]

[messianic]

[So.

It took awhile longer than he wanted it to, but here he is after all of these trainwrecks are done, with:]

Kitagawa-san, are you still up for having a dinner together?

[He is still worried about Yusuke's diet.]

[bufudyne]

[...Oh. Oh!]

Forgive me, I had forgotten all about it.

[it's been crazy bro]

I would like that, yes.

[messianic]

It's been a rough couple of weeks, there's nothing to forgive you for there. But when do you want to do it, then? I can bring something over whenever.

[And make sure Yusuke is both eating and okay after woofs.]

[bufudyne]

I am free at any time. Tomorrow evening, perhaps?

[He's going to whip up a solid dish of his own and try to rein in his powerful experimentation urges...]

#3630FF sorry yusuke

[messianic]

u been spotted by.........the $ MONEY GOO$E $
send the $ MONEY GOO$E $ to 3 people or u get scorched

[Good... good luck, Yusuke. Minato is forwarding it along because he thinks it's funny.]

[bufudyne]

[????]

But why is the money goose going to scorch us?

Furthermore, why is it the money goose when we don't utilise currency here? I understand the money symbols at the corner, but...

[SORRY MINATO]

[messianic]

[Uh]

It's a spam message, Kitagawa-san. Whoever came up with it did it to try to get the maximum number of people to send it on.

[They all know it was Okuyasu]

[bufudyne]

Oh.

Do these sorts of messages work?

[will they get that sweet $$$]
