[Hey, there's a ping on the tablet today!]

Hey.

Cinque told me to roast you some more, so here I am.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[...Oh, this is...]

Did she? I guess that means I'm never catching a break from you then, huh.

[resortghosts]

She did.

And I don't know what you expected from me, Jojo. Was that name your choice, by the way?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[he totally sighs in person at that, jsyk]

Nope, not a bit. But you know how she is: once she's got something in mind, she won't let go of it. I kind of just gave up and let her do what she wanted.

[resortghosts]

[ Good, because he deserves it. ]

Yeah, I know. But even though I did want to roast you... I also do want to have a normal conversation with you, too.

What do you want me to call you?

week 4, sometime before the meeting on monday

[resortghosts]

I have an important question to ask, since a lot of people are considering it.

Are you weak to water? If so, does that mean you haven't taken a shower or bathed ever since you possessed that body?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Honestly he kind of looks tired but he won't leave a ghost text unanswered so.]

I'm not weak to water. As for your second question... if you couldn't tell after standing near me for three weeks, I'm not really sure how else I can respond.

[resortghosts]

Well, that's good to know, even if I can't really do anything with that information.

And okay, fair. That would have been pretty bad, considering that you did pat my head.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Always glad to help clear up some things about what will and will not kill me.

Yeah. And it's off-putting enough to be in this host, so I really don't need to make it worse by not maintaining it.

[resortghosts]

I know you're being sarcastic there, but whatever.

What's so off-putting about being in that body, anyway?

week 4, sunday ig???? post-tigergate shit

[resortghosts]

... I'm not mad at you for what you did, by the way. I just wanted to make that clear to you.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He's probably in bed and dazed from literally everything happening, but he's still aware enough to catch the ping on his tablet. With a little trouble, he rolls over and grabs the tablet, sitting up so that he can prop it up on his lap. ...Typing is probably going to be troublesome, huh.

So that's why it takes longer than usual to get a response from him.]

Haha, thanks. I'm not so sure some of the others saw it that way, though.

[resortghosts]

[ That sure is a lengthy wait for a short response. ]

They might not have, and that's fine. I don't care what other people think. Should I come over? It might be easier for you to reply to me if I'm there in person instead of having you type all your messages.

I'll knock three times so you'll know that it's me before I enter.

[ And without waiting for a response, in about a minute or two there are three knocks on the door indicating that it's her. ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He's about to type something back, but. Ah. He gets out of bed sluggishly and heads to the door, opening it wide.]

Hey there. Sorry to make you come all this way... but thanks.

[resortghosts]

It's fine. You didn't have to open the door, though, I could have just went through it. I just knock to be polite.

Are you. . . feeling any better after what happened? Do you want to talk about it?

week 5, very late wednesday night

[resortghosts]

Hey.

[ That's it, that's the message he gets privately. No preamble, no nothing. Just that one word. ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[In the interest of not talking aloud and feeling silly about it if she's not here:]

Hey yourself. Are you around?

[resortghosts]

Nope.

Did you want me to come over?

[relentlesslyonwards]

You can come by if you want to, but I'm not going to force you.

Anyways, you wanted to talk about something?

[resortghosts]

I'll come. Give me like... five minutes.

[ And five minutes later, there's a knock at Reangumo's door! ]

week 6, monday noon

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Welp, the meeting's over and things are... more or less sorted out for tomorrow even if there's still some prep work to handle. But that goes hand in hand with this impromptu first aid lesson, so it's not like he has any complaints about doing this, even if he thinks there are better choices out there.

So he turns up at her room a couple minutes before noon, reflexively about to raise a hand to knock on the door before he shakes the notion out of his head. Phasing into things was still a pretty weird experience, so he generally kept it to a minimum, but... well. Maybe he'll do it this way.

Have a leg stuck through the door to tap on the floor, Inaba.]

[dereban]

. . . Is this supposed to be leg day.

[ Okay, you know what, while she isn't used to this whole phasing thing, she is going to go ahead and do that to yoink him into the room. ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He's not really expecting the sudden arm through the door, so he is successfully snatched and pulled in, although not without a small shout of surprise.]

I was expecting more of a hand through the door or something, you know.

[dereban]

. . . You always have to expect the unexpected.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Well... I can't say you don't have a point there, but some sort of warning would've been nice. Anyways...

[He raises the ghost first aid kit he has in his hand.]

You ready to get started?
