...

I know, Tama.

We'll take matters into our own hands a little bit if we have to.

You're with me, right?

[ballies]

We both said we were, right?

Back home, or here, breaking into newspaper buildings.

[unsync]

The last one's a little new...

[ballies]

You’ve gotta try new things, otherwise you’ll stagnate.

[unsync]

Who'd you hear that from?

[ballies]

Pretty much every self help article on the internet, ever. Enough people do it, so why not us?

[unsync]

I think we're definitely not having any sort of shortage on "new stuff" right now, but.

Okay, let's see what we can do. Something... anything to make things change around here.

[ modloading.exe ]

[ballies]

Better than waiting around for the same thing to happen again.

[ modloading.exe is nearing completion…. please come back at 5pm GMT - 1am JST or later when you’re both actually awake. ]

… [ she leans her head back after a moment and rubs at her eyes, a little frustrated and a little furious. ] Sorry.

[unsync]

Why are you sorry?

[ballies]

Because we’re trying to figure out how to stop all this and my head’s all over the place.

[ she’s the one who’s always telling him to snap out of it and focus ]

[unsync]

...

You're really saying this to me?

[ It's a little bit self-deprecating, but also, like. Really. You know what HE'S like, Tama. ]

[ballies]

[ … she does kinda snort laugh at that. ]

I am really saying that to you. I’ve gotta keep it together, right?

[ no she doesn’t, she’s a little disaster gremlin but. y’know. she has a special lad she keeps at eye on and she’s gotta be there for him. ]

[unsync]

...Sorry, Tama. I know I really do put a lot on you.

But as long as you're with me, I can keep going.

[ballies]

Please.

[ she drops her head down and bumps her forehead against his. ]

If I wasn’t happy, I’d be a nightmare for you to deal with.

[unsync]

[ Tama your neck... ]

You shouldn't say happy, it makes you sound a little masochistic.

[ballies]

[ it’s fine she doesn’t need it. ]

Okay we both know that’s not what I am. [ ryuki on the other hand… ]

[unsync]

Not even a little bit?

[ He distinctly remembers her being like I would be down to be pushed around by a woman. ]

[ballies]

That is specific to individuals and taste. Only very special people can step on me.

[ a man is dying tomorrow. ]

[unsync]

I wouldn't just let anyone step on me either!

[ Ryuki 'suffering alone in the mire of being forced to betray one he loves for the other' Ryukerson, shitposting Australia to Tama, does not perceive this. ]

[ballies]

Would you let me step on you?

[ A MAN. IS DYING. TOMORROW.

they shitpost through the pain. ]

[unsync]

[ Death does not stop Ryuki's psyche. ]

I already let you tie me up.

[ Said in the :/ way. He was neutral on bdsm until Tama insisted now look where he is. ]

[ballies]

You do! Imagine how much easier it’d be with opposable thumbs.

[ sometimes you just need a hot left eye to show you you like a little bit of subspace? i’m sorry to everyone reading this. ]

[unsync]

[ I'm sorry if this is how you find out Ryuki is kind of lowkey kinky as hell. I think it's funny. ]

It's not like your... small body can't tie a knot.

[ Just the image of him getting infoblasted with diagrams on how to tie knots in the left side of his vision. ]

[ballies]

[ (tama pretending to be ryuki voice) “nurse pour some soy sauce on me” ]

Yeah, but thumbs would make that so much easier. Especially the more complicated knots.

[ yeah she probably asks him which knot he’d like that day. ]

[unsync]

[ 'I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT' ← proves himself wrong 6 years later ]

Well... I guess so. I've never not had thumbs, so.

[ Ryuki just like Tama I'm trying to do paperwork. But also picks one anyway. ]
