Chapter 4: Cutting Algae Part One

Texting was a pretty neat function. It was widely adopted by every teenager except the one he, Reigen, had so generously gifted a phone to do it with. Mob was diligent to a fault about picking up his calls, but texting? Still a work in progress. Mob was getting better, though. After all, how else was Reigen supposed to give him a heads up about big jobs before the end of the school day? Excepting the occasional friendly lunch break chat.

That was of course assuming the phone was still intact. After their chat last night, Reigen wasn't so sure. It wasn't like Mob made a habit of texting him first.

Reigen squinted at the clock on his second-hand laptop he'd just replaced the shattered one with. 12:05PM. He had found a decent deal on one in a flea market but there was something off about the graphics. Parts of the screen were always slightly out of frame and most of his day had been spent trying to uselessly dink with the display options until it was righted, but instead he just ended up with a resolution that was too small.

'Ugh. New laptop, and if we're really unlucky, a new phone? I'll just garnish it...' Reigen pulled out his phone and fired off a text to his pupil. You didn't get washed away, did you? Your phone's still working, right?

There's a storm forecasted! But I'm sure you knew that. Teru had sent that before it had rolled in.

I hope you're keeping dry...except for the hot springs of course.

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
We got really wet earlier Send.

But I'm all dried off now Send.

We're supposed to go to the hot springs later Send.

What did you do today? Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (reading)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
nothing special Send.

How was the castle?!?!? Send.

Scary?? /╲/( ͡⎚ ͜U ͡⎚)/\ Send.
spiritsandsuchtrainee: (on the phone)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
I sensed a strong spiritual energy there Send.

I think there may be something influencing Master Reigen Send.

I'm not sure what to do about it Send.
spiritsandsuchtrainee: (on the phone)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know Send.

I've never dealt with something like this before Send.

It just feels like something might be influencing him Send.

He just hasn't been acting himself Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (huh)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
What is he usually like?
spiritsandsuchtrainee: (on the phone)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
He's very loud Send.

He doesn't really get sad Send.

But he's very confident and determined Send.

I think he could do almost anything Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (hmmmm)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Even if Mob was so reserved, the sheer belief radiated from the text alone. Teru smiled, then frowned, then smiled again.

Maybe there's something personal going on
spiritsandsuchtrainee: (Default)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Should I ask him about it? Send.

I'm not sure he'd tell me even if something troubled him Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (frowning at phone)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Adults have their own troubles, you know? Send.

Stuff they'd never tell us about Send.

That's just the way it is Send.

As long as you trust he's not gonna put you in any danger Send.
spiritsandsuchtrainee: (on the phone)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think he would Send.

Not intentionally, anyway Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (sneff)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Teru shifted on his couch, kicking one leg over the arm of it restlessly.

You should listen to your gut Send.

Never ignore your instincts Send.
spiritsandsuchtrainee: (on the phone)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'll do that Send. Mob was trying to be more assertive, but there were times where he was relieved to have someone else tell him what to do. This was one of those times.

Thanks, Teru Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (looking down)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
No problem. Send.

I know how it is. Send.

It'll work out though Send.

I'm sure of it Send.

(。•̀ᴗ-)✧ Send.

Mob smiled slightly as he read Teru's messages. He really did feel assured by them.

We should do something when I get back Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (musing)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Teru rolled onto his stomach, still restless but in a different way now.

really? Send.

we have a lot of things planned already Send.

you haven't changed your mind right? ¬‿¬ Send.

or Send.

are you saying you wanna do even more? Send.
spiritsandsuchtrainee: (on the phone)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Well Send.

Is it a lot? Send.

Mob wasn't sure what a lot was for normal people.
mp_simplyacommoner: (teehee)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Teru couldn't help but think that was a good point as he kicked his legs eagerly. For a boy like Shigeo it certainly felt like a lot, but...it wasn't nearly enough for Teru. He couldn't just say that, though.

I was just teasing you y(^ヮ^)y Send.

I can think of a lot of things we can do together Send.

Pause.

But you go first Send.
spiritsandsuchtrainee: (neutral)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-07 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
There is a new cat cafe that just opened by the station Send.

But I didn't really want to go alone Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (smile)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-07 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)

spiritsandsuchtrainee: (on the phone)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-08 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Wow Send.

Do you like cats too? Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (smile)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-08 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
they're super cute Send.

spiritsandsuchtrainee: (neutral)

[personal profile] spiritsandsuchtrainee 2023-10-08 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
I really like cats too Send.

They're really independent Send.

I want to be more independent too Send.
mp_simplyacommoner: (smile)

[personal profile] mp_simplyacommoner 2023-10-08 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
