HI HELLO GOOD MORNING!!

THIS IS /CORRECT/

I AM MASTER'S POKEMON
A PORYGON AS WELL

BIRTHDAY PRESENT

[ardent]

Ah, was it his birthday recently, then? I've never known when it is.

[codeforhope]

YES

MASTER AND NANAMI HAVE
THE /SAME/ BIRTHDAY

[ardent]

I'll keep that in mind, then!

Did you need something in particular, or did you just want to say hello?

[codeforhope]

UM

JUST HELLO
I THINK

I WANT TO MEET MASTER'S
/CLASSMATES/

MASTER TOLD ME YOU WERE ONE OF THEM

[ardent]

I knew Fujisaki-kun back in Hope's Peak, yes - I didn't know him very well then, but I got to know a bit more about him the last time he was here.

[codeforhope]

[There's a short pause between texts as Zip mulls over that.

...and then abruptly switches gears.]

YES OK

ISHIMARU /AND/ TOGAMI
BOTH MASTER'S CLASSMATES I HAVE MET

[It's like his own personal little scavenger hunt, only with people.]

[ardent]

Yes. There are several of us here, actually; do you know about the others?

[codeforhope]

YES!!

THEY ARE
KIRIGIRI
ASAHINA
OOWADA
MAKOTO
CELESTIA
HAGAKURE

OTHER USERS CANNOT BE
/IDENTIFIED/

CORRECT?

[ardent]

That's correct!

[...okay, he kind of has to know.]

What has he said about us, exactly?

[codeforhope]

MASTER HAS TOLD ME
YOU ARE HIS CLASSMATES
YOU ARE HIS /FRIENDS/

[ardent]

[...goddamn it, Fujisaki...]

...That's right, yes.

[codeforhope]

[Hey, he only speaks the truth.]

YES!

MASTER'S CLASSMATES ARE GOOD FRIENDS
THAT IS WHAT HE SAYS

HE SAYS
MORE FRIENDS THAN HE HAS
/EVER/ HAD

Backdated to March 31

[nostabbing]

Hey, Ishimaru, can I tell you something?

[ardent]

Of course you can - anything.

[nostabbing]

Hagakure asked me to the prom. Like, to go with him. On a date.

[ardent]

Really?

[WELL THIS IS NOT QUITE WHAT HE WAS EXPECTING]

Did you say you would go with him?

[nostabbing]

Uh-huh.

I just feel kind of weird now. Okay-weird. Does that make sense?

[ardent]

I think so.

Hagakure-kun is a good person, though. It's good that he asked you.

[nostabbing]

Yeah. I...think it is, too.

Maybe that's what's weird.

[ardent]

How do you mean?

[nostabbing]

I think it's good, too. I guess maybe I don't feel as...fiddly. As maybe I thought I would?

Feelings are hard.

[ardent]

They are! It feels good to work them out, though. At least, it usually does.

[nostabbing]

So it's okay if I go to the prom with him?

[ardent]

[Um.]

Yes, of course! Why wouldn't it be?
