[...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?

[ 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.

[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!

Hey ... Rin?

You're doing okay, right?

[ 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. --]

[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!]

[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.]

_{[Sob that just makes her kinda worried when she gets the reply and then tries again.]}

Rin? ... come on ...

[Growlithe recognizes Rin's name. That's his awesome person! The one who feeds him lots of food and who would have been really mad to see the gear covered in doggie drool. Again. T-Bone the Growlithe dutifully carries the gear right to Rin who has been busy grooming Poochy's fur.]

" -- that's gotta feel a lot better, right girl?"

[Poochy yips in reply and T-Bone yips right along with her. He drops the gear right on Rin's lap and yips again. He done a good job, yup yup! Rin takes one look at the gear and sighs.]

...Seriously? I got you a chewy so you wouldn't go for this! Did you lose it again?

[ He does pick up though. He still seems a little weary but go figure since he just woke up. ]

I thought it would be easier to text you instead of calling.

[...If Yukio just woke up, maybe he shouldn't go to the bathroom just yet...]

How's that make sense?! If you just woke up, I'd wanna hear from you, not read!

[read: I AM WORRIED ABOUT YOUR NEW NARCOLEPTIC LIFE CHOICES. PLEASE TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN SO I CAN BE PREPARED.]

Edited 2015-05-31 03:40 (UTC)

How the hell was I to know if you could pick up?!

[ Ah, Rin. Two minutes into Yukio waking up and already he's yelling at you for something. Never change.

But he's completely awake now thanks to this sudden outburst. ]

Because you're my brother, and if you're callin' then I'm always gonna pick up! Plus you were sleeping for ages! Figures that when I'm not there you'd decide you had enough beauty sleep...

[It is a sign of their brotherly love. Shouting matches, play fights... fun times.]

It's not like I planned to fall asleep! I swore I went to bed one day and--

[ There's a pause and an offscreen comment of "Airi, could you hold my Pokegear for a moment? Thanks." as he finally completely gets up. A shower sounds good right now. ]

And when I woke up, an entire month went by. I said I was sorry.

...I'm sorry too.

[He knows that yelling does not solve problems or makes communication easier but, DAMMIT YUKIO, he was trying not to worry which only made him worry more and maybe you really should avoid thinking of showers as good things. Maybe they're not.]

Look, I don't care about the circus thing. ...'m glad to hear you're awake again.

[-- hold up, was Yukio moving around?] You're outta bed already?

I'm not about to spend a whole day in bed when I've been asleep for almost a month.

[ Are they actually communicating?! Better check the windows because a pack of Spoink might have learned Fly.

But that question makes him a little suspicious. ]

Why?

[THE WORLD IS ENDING. REPEAT, THE WORLD IS ENDING. Wow, bro, when has Rin ever been suspicious? PSSSH.]

'Cause you just woke up? Shouldn't you be weak with hunger?

[ ...okay this gonna sound weird but. ]

Airi gave me an egg the minute I woke up. That should be enough until dinner.

[ They're surprisingly filling... for eggs. ]

Is Alphonse still around?

[that sounds so WEIRD. . .]

You ate her eggs before my cooking? I'm hurt, man.

[Rin tries not to sigh too loudly. Honestly, what kind of question is that?]

'Course he is. We've been waitin' for you this whole time.

It's the first thing I could get to before even reaching the kitchen.

[ And there's a sigh of relief as well as a mental note to text Al later when he's done with the bath. ]

At any rate... now that I'm up, we can finally get moving again. I should probably text Alphonse and tell him I'm--

[ He's headed to the bathroom with Airi following after, holding his Gear for him so he doesn't have to hang up. That pause is from that sudden cackling sound you hear. Yukio can't help but wonder what's gotten into his Noivern. ]

Did... something happen to Kizamime while I was passed out?

[Did something -- uhm. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHM.]

...Ki-Kizamime? Uh... yeah! He was a big help while you were out of it! Y'know changing clothes, packin' up food, that sorta stuff. Regular stuff!

[Rin is very obviously trying to hide something and he's not even going to attempt to be stealthy. He's just glad that there is enough distance between himself and Yukio.

Should he run or should he wait...]

Well, I gotta get going. I'll make you your favorite dinner! Text Al! [GOTTA GO FAST]

[ Unfortunately, Yukio's reached the bathroom before Rin can hang up or even attempt to hang up. ]

RIN! WHAT DID YOU DO?!

[ He's staring at the mirror in disbelief. S2g, Rin... as of this time tomorrow, Yukio is going to be an only child because he's going to kill you.

Kill you til you're dead. ]

[FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-]

Uh - what? I can't hear you! You're breaking up!

Who said this was a good idea?! How could you even--

[ He's just taking his shirt off now and staring even more. ]

DID YOU GET EVERYWHERE?!
