...Oh, I should've brought more blankets...

[greatvalue]

Do you usually bring blankets?

[toyska]

[Childe brought his blades again

This isn't helpful]

[awol]

[ frowns because i guess they are holding two bedrooms' worth of blankets? ]

Should plan for a bigger crowd if we keep barhopping.

[reignite]

[ at least there's no way memshare will happen.

except i lied, starts this off with a bang. catch this mem ]

[ Hello? ]

Something was about to flash when a person enters the room. There was a familiar fresh and sweet scent that comes with one person in particular. As if to confirm, a beautiful angel’s face appeared.

It seemed to be Eden’s turn.

An unfamiliar voice comes from you, as they are facing her. “…I thought the Master of the Ark would come but you came personally.”

[ Are you upset that I came? ]

Just as cute as her appearance, her voice is also cute and airy. Sweet. Very, very cute.

“Nope, it is nice.”

[ I wanted to see you! ■■ ■■. ]

Uriel pulls the person into a surprise embrace. Arms touched and they could feel her skin through the thin silk she was wearing. It was a familiar open back dress, meaning there was nowhere to place their hands. Uriel rubbed her face like they were a lovely doll and they sighed.

“I also… wanted to see you.”

[ Yes yes! ]

They seem to sound glad to meet her.

“You are here to offer me the Messiah’s Path?”

[ …Ah, right! I came because of it! ]

Uriel raised her head with surprise. It was an expression that showed she didn’t remember why she came here.

It seemed she was quite pleased to meet them.

[ It must be because you are too handsome. ]

“Your words are convincing.”

Uriel smiled and said. [ ■■ ■■, will you accept Eden’s story? ] “That… I need to think a bit.”

[ Why? Our story is the best! It isn’t comparable to other places! ]

The person seems to agree with this reply. However, there seem to be one problem.

“I will lose something precious if I accept that story.”

[ Eh? Ah. T-That’s right. If you choose our story, you’ll become an eunuch… That can’t be. ]

They seem to have had expected to be persuaded but unexpectedly, Uriel shook with agitation. Was it such a big deal for Uriel that they would become an eunuch? Why?

[ W-What to do? If I don’t bring ■■ ■■ to Metatron, he won’t let me use the Internet for a month… but if he accepts, ■■ ■■ will become an eunuch… when that happens… oh, wait a minute. Perhaps if his position changes…? ]

…What position?

[ O-Okay! ■■ ■■! Don’t worry too much about this problem. One way or another…! ]

Uriel seemed to be filled with great determination on her own. They firmly shook their head. “I don’t want it.”

[ Yes! It is okay if you are an eunuch…! ]

“Next.”

pats his back sympathetically. there, there?]

[engineers]

Hey, hero of the hour, do you want a drink? The circumstances were a little dicey, but you saved the day again.

[greatvalue]

[For the record, Mallow and Flapjack are here and they are wearing matching outfits? This is now a thing, apparently.

And then another screen pops up shortly after Uriel's...]

[engineers]

[ OOOOHHHH THIS IS SO CUTE HE THINKS THIS IS SO CUTE ]

...Did you get your game face on, Hunter? [ in the most embarrassing dad voice you can physically imagine ]

[reignite]

[ dam... that's awko.

... reaches out and pats his head. ]

[awol]

[ he chuckles. a bit. help. that's...

this girl is good. ]

She has the right idea.

[firstandgreatest]

What a cool gang ...

[engineers]

[ today on bad memory theater: ]

[ hey. have you ever like, been in front of your crush and had your crush suddenly start trying to prowl towards you like a tiger? but not in a cute way.

you're standing there in your pajamas, with the imprint of your pillow (it's shaped like a crab) still on your face and drying drool on your mouth and your hair a ridiculously, curly mess, sticking up in three or four places and you think lin jingheng might actually kill you today.

“What happened to being so brave and shameless on the mech?” lin jingheng taunts as if he was ready to nitpick some unsettled business and speaks calmly to lu bixing: “Where should I start? Hm, let’s start with you pretending to fall unconscious, that was pretty believable. Did you have experiences pretending to be a corpse, headmaster Lu?”

you can only start laughing awkwardly in response, because you're starting to sweat. oh god. ] "Haha...you praise me too much."

[ see, you've spent the past few days prodding and poking at this sick feline and playing around with him like a toy; you got a little too ahead of yourself and almost forgot who you were messing with, but now the tiger's awake and you are so dead.

lin jingheng is of course, questioning you within an inch of your life, completely expressionless as he steps all up in your grill. "Stealing the mental network, taking off your isolation suit like it wasn’t a big deal. Do you know what happened to the last person that tried to steal a mental network from me?”

you start rambling because you think you're maybe going to die and also your brain has exploded, a little bit. ] Uh. That... was... a complete accident...also you were the one that tried to throw me away first, you even gave me Zhanlu’s backup access..."

[ lin cuts you off. “Do you know what happened to the last person that tried to nitpick my mistakes?

your mouth goes very dry, and you feel yourself starting to shake like a prey animal, but you get an idea. a terrible, terrible idea. you blurt out: ] I do!

[ lin stops. too late now! time to keep going! ] I heard this person fell head over heels for you and completely lost the basic function to survive on his own. So terrifying, so brutal, I can feel my goosebumps rising.

[ lin jingheng looks at you, actually, like you've grown a second head. he's probably doing it right now in this bar, actually. you give up, now gathering speed, and then you just start talking as fast as your mouth can handle, closing your eyes as you throw away the entirety of your shame and continue: ]

I haven’t finished listing out my crimes, commander. I’ve attempted to attack you...uh, break an appropriate social distance, twice, and almost ripped your lips with too much force. I’ve also severely blocked your breathing like a madman, so I'm requesting to repent for my sins before you. I'm also strongly encouraging you to counterattack an eye for an eye, and I promise I won't resist.

[ you think lin's eye is twitching? you can't see him but you can feel it. your entire face is red. you continue shamelessly talking as you rip the last of the proverbial thin skin right off of your face and keep going, peeking at lin jingheng through one eye, ] I can also take on double the blow, so, hurry up and take your revenge - !

[ there is a long beat of silence, and then you hear a heavy footstep from outside, and before you even get to react or see lin jingheng's reaction you know that footstep and you switch gears so fast that it could give someone whiplash.

you jump half a foot, you push past lin jingheng and start scrambling - you grab the hammock that you set up in this room like three days ago and grab a rope out of absolutely nowhere, that, as it turns out, has a suction cup disk on one end, you don't even look lin jingheng in the eye, or a say a single word after that speech. and you gather up your cute meter long crab pillow and your dignity and you throw the rope out the window so it sticks on the building next to the medical building and then

you just jump right out of the fourth floor window without another word.

your entire face is burning red, and three seconds later you hear your dad's voice bark from upstairs - YOU LITTLE SHIT! as your feet hit the ground and you just start fucking running away at the speed of light as you retract the suction cup grappling hook and take off.

goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[ lu bixing puts his hand over his face and starts to melt into the floor. goodbye. ]

[greatvalue]

Dude.

[awol]

Heh.

[ you have a crush on me. ]

You were prepared for the worst.

[firstandgreatest]

[ oh i also want to share memories ]

Oh man, it was really cool in context! This is actually so badass, you guys! I know I fainted, but it was because I was so much stronger than everyone else! You gotta believe me!

[toyska]

[I'm so sorry he's only half-paying attention to Itto because he's squinting at the people in the background]

...Isn't that Lady Ningguang's informant?

[toyska]

[Childe's not naive enough to think he's safe from the screen but that doesn't stop him from sighing when his own pops up...]

Again?

[Yes, again. As soon as it starts playing Childe puts his elbow on the bar and covers his face with one hand]

[reignite]

Mr. Cyclops...

continues the embarrassing memory train with cake

[awol]

The screen types out the below title: Day 5 of the Self-Defense Squad training.

Right before the Model 3’s takeoff ( a magnificent mech flashes before the screen in all of its shining glory, brilliant like a star), Lu Bixing darkens Commander Lin's doorway with a decadent piece of panna cotta cake. Carefully decorated with flowers, the cake can practically be used as an advertisement photo, but unfortunately, Commander Lin doesn’t even bat an eyelash at it. Seeing no reaction from Lin Jingheng, Lu Bixing calls out behind him: “It’s your birthday today!”

Lin Jingheng stops belatedly, slowly turning his head.

“What?” he questions, voice dry.

“Your birthday, the official profiles from the Union said it was on the 10th.” Lu Bixing explains as he observes Lin’s blank stare. The lack of any reaction sows doubt in Lu Bixing's mind, and he slowly pulls the cake back towards himself. “Is the official source wrong?”

“... No.” Lin Jingheng responds immediately. For a moment, he stands paralyzed in place... before he finally musters up enough courage to walk back towards Lu Bixing. Lin Jingheng picks up the little fork poised delicately on the edge of the plate and shoves a small piece of the cake into his mouth with a hollow stare, as if he were a man at his final meal.

Almost immediately, his personal device responds with an “over-consumption of sugar” warning. The realization dawns on Lin Jingheng: this is the first time he has ever broken his diet during nutritional rehab.

And it is worth it.

Lin Jingheng doesn't stop there. He shoves the rest of the cake hastily into his mouth, the flavor bright, standing out in stark contrast to the bland diet he usually keeps. As he lifts his head, he gives Lu Bixing a quick glance of gratitude, gray eyes a little brighter. And then he fucking books it.

-

The cake is so good, he even forgets to return the fork.

[ lin jingheng is just here glued to his phone and nursing a beer. he is refusing to watch this. ]

[ delighted ]

Oh, I forgot about this! I thought you were dying.

[eleusinia]

[ persephone follows the group to the bar easily enough, even if she looks a little confused! the closer it gets to 11, though, the more antsy she seems to get. she stifles a couple of yawns mid-conversation, and even dozes off while still on her feet once... ]

I'd love to keep hanging out with you guys, but it's getting pretty late, and I should probably be getting home. We can play more tomorrow, promise!

[ she politely waves goodbye with one hand and she reaches for the door with the other... but when it refuses to budge, she stares at it with mild confusion. she tries nudging her shoulder against it a couple of times, even pushing at it with both of her hands before she gives up and turns back to the group, clearly more than just a little unsettled. ]

Hey, um... why can't we leave? Is someone coming through the airport? Shoot, Zelgadis might have forgotten to close the gates again on his way home...

[ before any of them can ask just what the fuck is going on, a screen pops up behind her and plays the following. ]

[greatvalue]

What.
