Hey I haven't heard from you in a while, I hope you haven't become one with tree people~

[audio] yaaaaaay~!

[pinnedbangs]

[It should have been Rin responding, but instead there is nothing but the eager chatter of a Nuzleaf.

But no teenager. No sensible Pooch. Nothing but Nuzleaf and its creepy grass leaf music.]

[voice] 10/13 evening

[soundmind]

[While trying to find Ishimaru's name she had noticed...another while checking for Yukio.

Rin's.

He came back? Why didn't he say anything? Why didn't she notice?

Obviously, the only solution is to make a call and to leave the most graceful message possible.]

You jerk! Why didn't you tell me that you came back!?

[voice]

[pinnedbangs]

[walkersystem]

_{[It's a small package with three big chocolate chip muffins and some random chocolate pieces, and a note. Clearly taken out from a lined journal.]}

Hi Rin!
I hope you'll have a good Valentines day and eat lots of candy, so I sent you some. I even made sure it came in a box!
You should share one with your brother, he seems really nice.
Talk soon!

[He is touched... He was all for sending her gifts but he hardly expected one in return. Especially not one for Valentine's Day.

He will most certainly return the favor come White Day.]

I'll definitely eat lots!
Thanks for sending me some of yours (○｀･v･)人(･v･´●)
just wait for March!
you won't regret it ヾ(๑ゝω ・๑)ﾉﾞ

[ Bandou must be holding his gear in his hand while in his current battle, because this message comes through sounding as though whoever's yelling is standing a decent distance away. ]

GOD DAMNIT! I'M NOT GONNA HAVE ANY CASH LEFT AT THIS RATE!!

[pinnedbangs]

[WTF MAN?! Rin was going to answer with a quick "hello" and maybe a "who is this?" to be polite and all that fun shit. He was working on important things, like brushing Growlithe's fur so it won't get tangled. And now, thanks to the yelling, Rin got the brush tangled up in Growlithe's fur. Thanks a lot, phone guy!]

THEN GET A JOB!!

[coming to you LIVE]

[faintwaves]

[...A Dedenne tapping at buttons. She notices the screen on and waves cheerily before continuing to poke at buttons.

Finally a voice comes from off-screen:] Minnie, what are you doing?

[Apparently messing with some video editing program for Pokemon contests or something, a colorful band of sparkles passes over the screen and Minnie squeaks in delight at the effect. Finally the Pokemon is picked up and put out of view, Xion picks up her Gear and squints at the screen.]

...Nobody's watching this, right?

[coming to you LIVE] AND 666 YEARS LATER

[pinnedbangs]

[Mickey's almost always playing around with the gear, and this time is no exception. He waves just as cheerfully at Xion's question.

Of course someone is watching! Mickey is watching!]

[in_praetego]

[ And right after this thread, he's just gonna give his brother a call. ]

Rin?

I'm not sure if you've heard but Mister Joker invited us to the Circus' anniversary dinner. It'll be after the show, apparently.

voice;

[pinnedbangs]

[HOLY SHIT, YOU ACTUALLY CALLED HIM INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND.]

Awesome! Are they gonna juggle during the show? We should get together a thank you gift for the invite!

[audio, april 21]

[walkersystem]

Hey ... Rin?

You're doing okay, right?

[audio, april 21]

[pinnedbangs]

[THIS AUDIO IS SO DISTORTED. Blame his Growlithe and his need to chew on plastic. As such, there is a low growl followed by a series of happy and excited yelps from the very same Growlithe.]

[in_praetego]

[ And now that he's up, you get a simple text message once he gets his bearings. ]

Sorry I made us miss that thing Mister Joker invited us to.

what the hell, yukio!? what's with the texting? just call me!

[-- IN FACT, HERE COMES A CALL. BETTER PICK UP, DAMMIT. --]

video; backdated to 6/1

[angerpoints]

[IT'S EARLY'O'CLOCK. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and LUCKY RIN, the ringer on his 'Gear is going off, piercing the morning air like a bayonet. Assuming he doesn't do what most people would probably do at this hour and ignore it, he'll find himself looking at one (1) Yusuke Urameshi when he checks it. Yusuke is visibly seething, scowling into the screen like an angry bear. That in of itself isn't unusual for him. What is unusual, aside from the fact that he's calling Rin in the first place, is that he is absolutely dripping wet. His hair's loose and plastered against his forehead, and his shirt is completely soaked through. Basically, he looks like the world's most ferocious drowned rat. What on earth happened, and why is he calling Rin of all people...?]

Hey, Botan! Pick up the phone!

[... ah. Because he dialed the wrong number, that's why. WELL, THAT'S ONE MYSTERY SOLVED...]

video; backdated to 6/1

[pinnedbangs]

[WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Rin isn't one to wake up early. Most of the time it's a miracle he gets out of bed at all. He almost ignores it until he realizes that

a) if it's Yukio he's probably going to scold him for not reacting fast enough or
b) maybe it's someone who might need an ear to rant to at... ungodly hours in the AM.

Rin eventually picks up and stares bleary-eyed into the video screen - there's not much time between him staring and him cracking up a smile that slowly but suddenly erupts into full-blown laughter.]

Voice | 6/10

[esthetically]

I, ah... I believe I've arrived to the correct city. [Somehow. He's not really sure how or why, but he had to take the ferry back.] Are you still in Olivine?

Voice | 6/10

[pinnedbangs]

Huh? Yeah, still here.






. . . Who's this? [WHO THE HELL IS THIS??? WHY DO VOICES SOUND DIFFERENT??? WHY DOESN'T RIN CHECK THE ID LIKE EVERYONE ELSE???]

Voice | 7/28

[soundmind]

Hey, Rin, what do you think is a good, quick snack to make for people?

[She just...calls out of nowhere to say that, okay then Maka.]

[pinnedbangs]

[It's okay, he would do the same. And this is easy! He could answer this in his sleep.]

Onigiri. It's just rice. You fill it up with anything you want, shape it, wrap it in nori, and serve.

Voice

[killer_sweets]

Hey Rin, I need to ask you about something, sort of important.

[Nothing weird about this]

[pinnedbangs]

Uhm, okay?

[...is this about the jam? Or the extra cupcakes he gave out as samples?]

[8/5; after the wasabi bun incident]

[soundmind]

YOU ASSHOLE!

[Yep, that's sure Maka screaming as a message.]

WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I'M GOING TO RIP OUT YOUR SPINE AND HANG YOU WITH IT! How dare you do that?! You shitty spawn of Satan! What's WRONG with you!? WASABI?! WHO PUTS WASABI IN STEAMED BUNS?!

[pinnedbangs]

[He had been waiting for a response, but he didn't expect to hear it from Maka. He has to hold the phone away from his ear at the first word but it hardly matters - the message comes across loud and clear.

Honestly, Rin was starting to feel confused. Why was she calling him? He was waiting for that other guy! But then he hears it. Wasabi buns... The Wasabi buns have landed and it takes all of his self control to not burst out into a fit of laughter.

Should he reply back? ... Probably not. She did say she was going to hang him by his spine. That sounded painful.]

[8/5; after Maka's message]

[crouching_sin]

[Hope you brought your earplugs, Rin - oh wait. They won't do much good. A door slams open and there's a vague rattling noise until Alice storms into the kitchen to where Rin is working. Her eyes are glowing faintly blue, and some of the pots and pans lift up before they slam down again.]

Rin Okumura, what is the meaning of this behavior?

[pinnedbangs]

[He may have been laughing his ass off a moment ago but all of his earlier mirth vanishes just as quickly as it had arrived.

Rin turns to face Alice, his eyes darting between her angry gaze and the floating kitchen tools.]

Uh-Uhmmmmm...

Text in an attempt to sound less rude?

[death_glare]

Rin Okumura, I would appreciate it if you didn't speak to other people about me.

NOPE STILL RUDE

[pinnedbangs]

wat r u talking about

9/3

[armoredsoul]

[Al was not directly involved with the Wasabi Incident, nor was he made immediately aware of the mess that was the days following it. In fact, he only heard about it in passing, bare of most of the details save the important ones. But it was enough to get the idea.]

[It's been a while since he had an excuse to pull a really good prank.]

[Al was very careful balancing the chemicals for this little batch, testing on Lust and Envy's shedded tangles of death from the shower to make sure it would work right. But now the time has come to put his hard work to the test. The shampoo and conditioner were spiked the day previous, and now all Al has to do is wait for the results.]

Hey, how's it going today?

this is wonderful

[pinnedbangs]

[Rin's been having a bad hair day. Too many of his smaller pokemon (read: Dedenne and Murkrow) have been using Rin's hair as a literal nest.

He found twigs in his hair. Twigs and string. The dumb part of it all is that he washes his hair regularly. How in the hell did he miss twigs and random colorful pieces of string in his hair? The world may never know.

So he does the thing he does every morning, before breakfast. Things got worse after the shower + shampoo + conditioner routine. Not only did he not find his hair dryer but - but - but!!!

...HE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR.

It took him a moment too long to realize that it was, indeed, his reflection. It took even longer for him to freak out about it. He may have liked that Shima had pink hair but that didn't mean he wanted it too!? Rin's just about to call up Yukio when Al's message comes through first. Good! Al knows things!]

i look like cotton candy

[voice]

[esthetically]

Ah, Rin?

I, ah... wanted to apologize for my conduct a few months ago. [He sighs softly. Guess who is embarrassed.]

[voice]

[pinnedbangs]

[Why hello there, mystery dude. It's nice to be called by name, but who is this dude again?]

Uhm... okay? ...Did something happen?
