[ wow. ann is impressed; she had no idea yusuke was trying to be a fashion designer? she takes a few moments to contemplate these pictures, then.. ]
Hmmm. The boots look too long on the first one, I think? Second one's really cute, but I'm not a fan of flair jeans in general. Third one's my fave! Does the fourth one have a bag?
[A text comes to you in the late afternoon of February 3rd. The sender's name has been encrypted and errors out and there are no signs of who the message belongs to. Clicking on the profile of this Retrospec user brings up a picture of the Retrospec symbol.]
How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts.
You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is Eijirou Kirishima. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at the edge of the woods and we'll go from there.
You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?
[No other messages will be sent from this account at this time.]
[ooc: Hello! You've been sorted into group 3. Your event log will go up at 9pm EST along with all of the other logs. We encourage you to read the main event log as well for more information about your recruiter and this note. In the meantime, head over to this thread on the latest mod post to meet your teammates. Thank you!]
[sup!! baren harassed the npc for listings of where everyone in the event is assigned to group-wise and where they're going. so that means group 3 is being assaulted with unwanted texts for reasons that will become clear almost immediately.
however in exchange, he does attach the aforementioned helpful list to the text before he sends his actual message.]
ann-chan ann-chan be careful if you're going out there
but if you are and you see mimori togo for one try to send her home but she won't listen so if she still goes out there keep an eye on her for me, 'kay?
[ooc: if you need to drop this thread/ignore this text due to event workload, i totally understand and feel free!]
First... We're from the same place, right? I wasn't reading into that wrong? And you know who the Phantom Thieves are, and what the rumors about Kamoshida were?
[ so! ann is here at the coffee shop at the promised time, dressed casually, bag over her shoulder. she's waiting outside for michel, nervous about meeting one of her favorite youtube stars...! but he probably has a lot of questions, so she's ready to answer whatever she can. ]
[It was true that this new awakening thing was causing Michel a lot more trouble than he'd like to admit. With such a schedule in his life, finding an excuse for "I'm going to meet a girl for coffee" that didn't end with a hundred questions from his parents was hard.
Right on time, Michel shows up, wearing a casual grey and black outfit that's worn more for warmth than to impress. If she's nervous, the smile he gives her upon arriving should hopefully calm her down, as he waves to her.]
[he feels a little bad for Souji, though he knows that Souji's mostly joking. But... Mako's definitely gotten the flashes of him being jealous, of missing Tatsuma. And he knows that being too open just attracts a lot of unwanted, uncomfortable attention.
Still, later, when they really are alone, he pauses, glancing up at the sky.
[Right after he got this first message, Elliot got up from what he was doing to track down Ann. She's easy enough to find at least, the camp wasn't that big.]
[he's so glad to not be roughing it outside anymore. He likes being in the calm and quiet sometimes, but he was starkly reminded that he grew up in and had lived his whole life in the city by day three. The quiet was a little overbearing. But also, he just wanted to be romantic with his girlfriend.
Without making his best friend heartsick.
Without the comments about getting a room. And, at least for now, it seemed like they weren't going to be in any danger. So, sure, the show wasn't to his taste. But it made Ann happy, and he was more happy to have her leaning against him.
He was just going to not. say. anything. about the plot.]
[ it really is nice, being able to spend time with mako like this without worrying about being watched and being teased by other people. they finally get alone time after an entire month of fighting and scavenging, and for once, ann feels relaxed.
until she realizes that there's a breakup going on. ]
I called it! Ugh! I didn't wanna believe it, but--it's over...
