I remember flipphones in the 90s but they were fuckin' sturdy and didn't fold on the fucking screen. How doesn't it crack it? I don't fucking get it.
Sounds stupid to have to get a whole separate thing for typing on a phone- why not just keep buttons? Buttons make sense.
I don't got those, why does it want to connect anyway? Don't make sense.
Oh. So it's just. There?
Please, I don't understand any of this.

[ he gives the tiniest of shivers when she touches his ears--and oh. yeah, okay, he can tell the shape is different, just based on how her finger ghosts over a part of his ear that wasn't there yesterday. so weird... ]
No, I don't think so. It's the same as ever.
...
[ he reaches up to pinch the edges of his ear, just to be sure. ]
...It's my luck again, I know it. I lose one curse and gain another.

technology can do a lot these days, i guess something to do with seamless hinges and screens???? honestly not sure
because everything is in the touchscreen now, including keypads and power buttons. there should be a couple of buttons on the side, which can lock your phone
in case you do one day! i don't really use the option either but its there just in case
all phones come with google if you try to search for something it will be using google
okay okay i'll be there soon. did the phone come with like... a manual or anything?

Sounds like a way to make an easily breakable piece of crap if you ask me.
Why? The fuck is wrong with buttons! You kids stopped being able to use BUTTONS or some shit?
Well, I don't. And won't. And it feels real weird that they all use google. Like what if people don't wanna use google and use...
Shit, what was that one in the 90s? With the waiter?
No. No manual. Just a box. It says it's online but I gotta make the stupid thing work before I can find the fucking online manual.

[ YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM HER AYATO!!! ]
i think that word suits you really well! it suited you even before this change
can i come over and get a better look
[ She wants to see the tail floof. ]

[BUT WHAT IF HE WANTS TO!!! LAPIS!!!]
It was a word I think that suited my past self a bit more then it does now- but I'll take your word for it.
Considering the alternative is you possibly seeing me in public and making this even worse... yes. My address is here. [There's a location just by Blue Fish Park.
........................he should probably mention his home is a whole fucking Japanese estate, but he's so used to living there that it doesn't even cross his mind. OOPS.
His tail floof is never going to be given peace ever again.]

[ Lapis sees that shiver and there is the creeping urge to do some mischief. But it's still early and he's clearly going through it, so she tightens her arms around him - a hand shifting so she can trail her fingers through his hair without the horns getting in the way, nails gently scratching against his scalp. ]
Well think about it this way, you can still go out in the sun. So even if it's another curse, it's still better than the last one.
[ And it doesn't seem like there's much change, beyond cosmetic. And the clearly demonic vibes she's getting from him. ]
It may be your luck again but it's not all bad. And like I said before, the ears are cute.

[At some point, after Fugo’s message, Lapis will get a rather frantic call on her phone.]
[It’s from Rose.]
Lapis! Lapis, are you there?
[It’s from Rose.]
Lapis! Lapis, are you there?
[ Lapis is quick to answer, though she keeps her voice steady. Desperately trying to stay calm in the face of... everything going on. ]
Yes, I'm here. Are you alright, Rose?
[ Of course, her immediate concern is her friends safety. ]
Yes, I'm here. Are you alright, Rose?
[ Of course, her immediate concern is her friends safety. ]
[On the other end of the line, Lapis can hear an audible sigh of relief.]
Hale and whole, of course.
Forgive me, I...I just remembered what happened with Teresa. I was worried they'd grabbed you, too.
Hale and whole, of course.
Forgive me, I...I just remembered what happened with Teresa. I was worried they'd grabbed you, too.
[ Oh Rose... ]
Good, I'm glad to hear that.
And it's alright, this is... I don't know what's going on. I know the Order can do whatever that is, but I have no idea who...
[ She has her worries and suspicions but she can't point fingers based on that alone. ]
Be extra cautious, okay?
Good, I'm glad to hear that.

Of course, I will. I learned my lesson with Krusnik, I won't be going anywhere alone for the foreseeable future.
[She smiles.]
I know you don't need to hear this, but the same goes for you. It would be nice if this was the extent of it, but...
[She feels it won't end with this.]

you aren't wrong phones these days are super fragile
and no idea, i guess saves on producing the things??? no need to make physical buttons if its all in the screen
with the waiter? uh
ask jeeves???? im not even sure if that still works anymore but you can always download other apps to use
honestly hate how some things don't come with a physical manual these days, okay i'll show you how to work this thing
[ Daughter will soon descend upon him with Child Tech Support. ]

Good, being alone is a terrible idea right now. I'll be with Jinwoo and my dad most of the time, so you won't need to worry about me either.
[ It's a relief Rose won't be alone though, hopefully she'll stay safe then... ]
Mmm, it's not going to stop there. Whoever is behind it is trying to pressure us, and I doubt it'll stop until we find the person behind this.

So it's just a way to sell something cheap for an extortionate amount of money.
YEAH! Shit that's the one. I remember that one when the internet first happened. Fucking figures it doesn't work any more.
Please. I don't even know why I got this. I'd have preferred anything else.
...Except another Clippy.
[Please save him. He needs saving.]

Has he gone near you? Has he fucked with you? I swear to Christ I will flay his fuckin' skin off one sheet at a time if he has.

[Lapis knows Ayato well enough to get what his tone says without him having to say anything about it.
His tone is ice cold, stern, no nonsense.]
Where are you.
[Not a question, a bit of a demand, actually. He’ll apologize after a while but right now he just needs to be sure she’s out of reach of Douman and Dickson.]
I haven’t come across them, but I need to know where you are. …Please.

[ Oh, it's been years since she heard that voice. But that means he remembers too - there's only certain people who get that response.
Lapis, meanwhile, sounds terrible - there's a strain to her voice, a clear sign she's been crying. She feels sick, she feels like she wants to just rub her skin raw - how dare that man act like they're friends? After everything he's done to her. To everyone. ]
No. No, I haven't been near him since the Dark Hour. And he just acted like he didn't know me at all - [ There's another sob, a furious sound, before she gathers herself. ]
That fucking bastard. I'll kill him, I swear-!

[ Ah, she knows that tone. It's why she doesn't mind that it's more of a demand - and it's not like she sounds better, wrecked and strained, like she had just been crying. ]
At home, with Jinwoo.
[ So she's safe, luckily. Nowhere near either of those men; even though the temptation to find Douman and tear those damn bells from his head is high. ]
Please, be careful. Stay away from Douman, I... I know him. I remember.

[Husk comes across as a bitter, grumpy old asshole... which he definitely is, but very few people actually earn genuine rage from him. But Douman? Douman earned that a hundred times over. He's seen how much damage that fucker has done to Lapis. How he snaked his twisted mindset into her, trying to undo everything Husk tried to instil into her- to make her a tool of the Order instead of her own damn person.
Oh, Husk hates Douman a great fucking deal.]
Same for me. Should have trusted my gut on that one, fuck. He's just been fuckin' living around us like a goddamn sleazeball this whole time. Probably getting off on it too, the fuckstick.
[He hears the sob in her voice and it only fuels his anger. The absolute fucker- how dare he come here and play with them like they were toys. He growl bubbles out of him.]
Don't you worry, we fuckin' will. [It might mean sealing or worse, but a part of it feels worth it. But-] We gotta be smart about it- no good racing right at him or we'll be fucked. But he's fuckin' done.
[And oh, will he enjoy ripping that shitheel's head off his shoulders. ]
...You need anything? You're not alone, right? [Does she need HIM?]

Hah, he probably was...
[ The small laugh is a sharp, bitter sound. She feels so... vile. Anixety and anger buzz under her skin, torn between sobbing and screaming, and the only thing that would make any of this better would be finally tearing that bastard apart. But he's right, doing it right now would be dangerous and the last thing she wants is for him to hurt anyone she cares about.
Even though she wants him to suffer after everything he did to her. After he hurt Rose - it was that bastard whose voice was in the labyrinth, it was him-! ]
He's not leaving the city alive. There's no way, not after this. Not after all of this.
[ It's a promise. She won't be content until she finally sees this nightmare put to rest. After he tried to mould her into something inhuman, after he tried to warp her into this "Goddess", she needs to see him die. She needs to know she's free, at least from him. ]
I'm at home with Jinwoo, but - [ She hesitates, about to say it's fine. But no, it's not fine. Husk has seen what he's done to her, seen the breakdowns and nightmares as his words seeped into her. So with her voice cracking again, she asks; ]
But I want to see you.

[He dislikes the laugh far, far more than he does the sob. He can almost feel her fraying at the edges and it makes him want to do anything to pull her back together again. He hates that they didn't know what was happening- that due to that they let that rancid fuckstain get anywhere near them again. This was an error from trickery- they will not be fooled again. ]
Damn fuckin' right he's not. He ain't even going back to the Order in a box. There won't be enough of him for that.
[They are going to obliterate him. For good. Husk has zero intention to let this fucker have the chance to mess with his kid ever again. He fucked up real well, having the audacity to show his face around her again. He doesn't get to exist anymore, it's just that simple.
He's seen so many of her breakdowns- sat with her through countless nightmares. He's expecting her to say she's fine, and he's prepared to call bullshit on that. Luckily she doesn't, so he lets out a slow exhale.]
Okay. I can come to you.
[He would always come to her- whenever she asked. ]

Edward Kenway intended to take on the culprits behind the Dark Hour alone.
I attempted to talk him out of it, but I don't know if it worked or he simply told me what he thought I wanted to hear.
I'd suggest keeping a close eye on him.

Lapis should've expected this, but that still doesn't change the fact she's pissed on top of everything else. ]
thank you for telling me
i'll keep an eye on him
[ And a word as well. ]
