[ sweet tsukasa.......this is why he must be protected at all costs ]

Better figure it out quick then or your friend gets it.

[aspirings]

H-huh?! When did this become a yakuza-style threatening phone call?!

[handfast]

Since the moment this compact was cursed.

[ for good measure, he sends the message again. i refuse to c/p it again though. ]

[aspirings]

[Help me. He is buying this, hook, line and sinker.......... why is he buying this]

I--!! Hak, if you can still communicate through this cursed compact, let me know where you are! I'll come and make sure you're okay!

[handfast]

[ hang on a moment

hak looks for a good place to put his compact down, then walks away about ten feet so he sounds a little more distant. ]

Tsukasa, they're taking me away....!

[aspirings]

[this is so mean.

anyway.]

Wh-wh--

Wait a minute!! Where are you?! I'm coming right now!!!

[seriously though, Tsukasa, what would you even do if this was real...]

[handfast]

[ long pause






hak hangs up. i'm so sorry tsukasa ]

[aspirings]

[i'm in tears.




okay i guess Tsukasa is spending the next, like, two to three hours running around looking for Hak in a panic.]

[handfast]

[ HELP ME. NOT LIKE THIS



i guess hak is at (throws dart) pizza hat eating some extremely mid pizza. he's muttering to himself. ]

Super pizza is better.

1/2

[aspirings]

[Help.

Tsukasa bursts in.

Runs out again.

Does that thing where it clicks that he saw Hak, actually, and bursts back in again. He has been nyooming around this whole time, so he is, in fact, breathing hard.]

H... Hak! You're--

2/2

[aspirings]

[... He blinks.]

--eating pizza?

[handfast]

[ he's in the middle of taking a bite when tsukasa bursts in the second time. he lowers his pizza and then holds it out. ]

Want some? It's pretty bad.

[ this is not the face of a man who's been kidnapped ]

[aspirings]

[...

Tsukasa just walks over to the table.

Sits on the other side.

And lets his face gently fall forward to rest against the table.

Gnnnghhh.]

... Glad you're okay.

[handfast]

[ hak reaches over with his stupid long arms to patpat tsukasa on the back. ]

I'm surprised you cared enough to come looking for me.

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa is upright immediately at that, aghast and offended.]

Wha--of course I do! Why was that even in question?!

[handfast]

[ just.

kind of stares at tsukasa. ]

Because I've always done this to you?

[ when has he not bullied poor tsukasa? ]

[aspirings]

[Just... staring back...]

Yes, well. Whether or not you're a bully has nothing to do with whether or not I'd be concerned for you.

You can be very weird sometimes, but I still care about your well being!

[handfast]

[ aw.....that makes his heart warm ]

I won't do it again. [ ... ] Well, pretending to be kidnapped. I'll still send you weird messages though.

[aspirings]

Thank you. I appreciate that. Not the weird messages. The not pretending to be kidnapped part. I don't think my heart could take it.

[He is acknowledging that he will fall for it literally every single time...]

[handfast]

[ tsukasa how are you going to be a star like this.... ]

Do you get messages like that a lot? From people pretending to be kidnapped?

[aspirings]

[We all wonder how he'll survive showbiz.]

What? No, of course not. Why would I?

[handfast]

[ thinks about this.......decides not to answer. takes another bite of pizza instead. ]

Why'd you think my compact was haunted?

[aspirings]

[Without hesitation:]

Because you sent that strange message!

It was like chainmail spam! I really thought something had happened... I didn't think you'd voluntarily send something like that.

[handfast]

I didn't want to end up in the cage.

[ he says this so seriously ]

[aspirings]

[HE SAYS IT SO SERIOUSLY.]

Don't tell me you really believed that!
