twinning | HAVEN • IC CONTACT

[ Congrats on his illiteracy. ]

Well, yeah, who else would it be?

[ He is like the only pink-haired asshole around, so! ]

[Ya'll so rude. What is Shima even implying here, that he has no friends? Look buddy he has friends and they're all demons and girls who hate him.]

S'everything okay? Wasn't expectin' a phone call from you, was all.

[OR ONE AT ALL.]

[ Girls who hate him do not count as friends, sorry. ]

Uh, well, I... might be a little, hmm, stuck.

[ Yep, only calling because of trouble. Figures. ]

[THEY'RE GIRLS WHO KNOW HIM. THEY'RE HIS FRIENDS.]

Stuck? Stuck where?

. . .Ya don't sound stuck.

[Like a true family member.]

...how am I s'posed to sound when stuck?

[ Does he even want to know? ]

Look, I'm stuck in the east part of Haven, on the wrong end of the subway tunnel. There's... there's, uh, some th-things in the way.

[ Aw fuck, at least try not to stammer when just THINKING about insects! Come on, man! ]

I dunno, like stuck.

[Strained might be the word, or muffley? Not the issue at hand, though.]

Never been that way, issit a rock or something?

[Just like a professional 911 operator.]

No... no, not a rock. It's just, y'know, a lot of things. Small things. Lots... and lots... and lots of them...

Pebbles? How come you can't get past 'em?

What? [ Rin, no. ] Rin, I don't mean any kind of rock. They're living things, not a damn cave in...

Babies?

No, not babies! Why the hell would there be babies in the subway?! I mean bugs! Thousands of bugs! Maybe even millions!

[ More like hundreds, but he's not going to count!!! ]

Why the hell didn't ya say so?! If it's just bugs, you'll be fine till I get there.

[In a literal sense, unless they're killer bees or fucked up monstrosities, but Shima just said they were small! As for wetting his pants and stuff, ganbatte.]

[ But then they would have known he was talking about them! Which is a ridiculous concern, but this isn't rational, shut up. ]

Easy for you to say. [ What if they creep further past where the East Haven tunnel starts, huh? Huh?! ] I ain't stickin' around in the tunnel to wait, so look for me just outside the entrance that opens out into East Haven.

[They are becoming literate..or whatever. Literate but orally. Audibly. I think there's a word for that.]

Alright, I'm comin' now! [And there's some rustling on his end, something signifying that he is indeed moving, at least.] You wanna stay on the phone the whole time or what? There's just bugs in there, huh? Nothin' like the other tunnel?

[ Super radioactive intelligent insects. ]

I can't hear anything else further down, but look out for subway cars. The ones on this track still run sometimes, I guess? [ Fuck all if he knows why, man. ] Phone won't work once I step out into East, so you'll be on your own until ya get here.

Wait so, who's ridin' the subway cars?!

[Random NPCs that wanna behead him or something? He needs all the important deets so he doesn't end up needing a lifeline okay. AS IF THE MOST OVERPOWERED DUDE IN THE SERIES WOULD NEED ONE.]
