[After his talk with Yosuke Souji gets right on calling the others as he continues walking towards the hospital.]

Kanji, it's Souji.

Are you alright?

[Gonna check on your state first before asking you to regroup.]

[realmenknitplushies]

Whoa! Senpai! Geez, am I glad to hear from you, man... yeah, I'm okay. The locals're scared stiff, though.

Hellooo! Are you still taking commissions for plushies?

[realmenknitplushies]

Always am, man. What're you lookin' for?

D400, voice

[windbreak]

[Man, how is he even supposed to describe this...? Eh, he can work his way up to it.]

Yo, it's me. Everything good? Hey, are you free, like, right now?

[realmenknitplushies]

Sure, man. [Well, technically he's got his hands full, but for the guys-] Something up?

[asgardsbeauty]

[In honor of the Earth holiday centering on love, Freya sends out a little gift around this time.

A small box containing a piece of chocolate will appear on your pillow during the day. When consumed, the chocolate’s magic will lift your mood for a short period of time. It’s accompanied by a note.]

Where love might bring about sorrow, it also welcomes joy.

[After eating a chocolate left by a certain someone, Hibiki is left in a bright mood. Maybe she should check on everyone? Just, you know. See how they're doing.]

Kanji-san! How are you doing today? I hope you're well!

[Video]

[realmenknitplushies]

[Kanji's not had his own one yet, but he's still happy enough to pick up the call-]

Huh - hey, Hibiki-chan. What's up?

[asgardstricks]

[ In honour of the god centering on love being a giant frilly prissypants, Loki sends his own little gift just a few hours after hers.

His box of chocolate will look, smell, and taste exactly like Freya's did, appearing right next to where Freya's was or is if you haven't picked it up yet. The only difference between the two is that Loki's won't lift your mood; it'll give you loud and embarrassing flatulence for the next three hours.

It's also accompanied by a note. ]

Where joy might bring about yearning, it also welcomes wonder.

D404 evening, video | plz hold, senpai squad incoming

[windbreak]

Hey, Kanji!

[Even by the dim glow of the one streetlamp overhead, the image as the feed opens is clearly recognisable as a dishevelled-looking Yosuke the middle of a pavement. ...Also, a certain other familiarly grey-haired figure standing maybe a few feet behind him and tapping away at his own bracelet, but never mind that guy.]

Kanji, are you around? You okay, man? We're hearing a bunch of different things, it's kinda confusing, but... something happened, right? Do you -

[Or do mind him, because at this point Yosuke turns his head.] Huh? Wait, who're you trying to...?

Now in senpai stero, almost done

[izanyagi]

[And just as he's maybe about to answer the first one, he gets another message, this time from the grey-haired figure now standing in the front, his entire face nothing but worry, with the disheveled-looking brown-haired one in the back.]

Kanji! We've been reading what happened...[he's out of breath, both from the trip and the bad feeling he's been having from catching up.] We're still trying to figure it out, but I just want to make sure you're alright...we've just arrived, so just tell us where you are...

[He's trying not to panic, but....it's only when Yosuke comes closer that he finally turns right around and notices him.]

Ahhh...were you too?

[windbreak]

Yo, Kanji! [Did you want a distraction from certain serial killers and discussions thereof that possibly will have taken place at this point in time? You do now. Or, at least, Yosuke does, and his casual air right now is decidedly deliberate.] Hey, do me a favour?

Re: backdated to D434, audio

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah? What's up, man?

video; day 434

[myownhero]

Hi, Kanji? Or, um, Kanji-kun?

[Colour her endlessly confused by honorifics. Yosuke used both, so she hasn't got a clue which is more appropriate here.]

It's Bliss - Bliss-san - the one Hanamura told you about. He said you'd be able to make me glasses, and I have to tell you right away that I don't know my prescription or anything, but even trying would be so cool of you. It's not an emergency or anything, I've got some solution to stretch my contacts a few more days... so it's kind of an emergency, but not the 'right away now' kind.

[Stop the fluster and get to the point, Bliss.]

Anyway. Just let me know what I need to do to make it happen and I'll do it. I'll pay you for them, too, when I've got a job. This really is awesome, thank you.

Re: video; day 434

[realmenknitplushies]

Oh, hey! Yeah, he said you'd call me sometime... I can definitely give it a shot. I might have to give it a coupla goes to get them the right strength, but I should be able to make 'em for ya. Just tell me what you're gonna need.

[He pauses for a moment.] An', uh, don't worry about the honorifics. I appreciate ya trying, seriously, but ... I mean, we ain't talking in Japanese here.

During 437 | Video

[izanyagi]

Hey Kanji!

Heeeeeey...I was trying to find you but I can't so...

I just wanted too let you know that, well, you're an amazing friend unlike any other, Kanji! You're really smarter than you think, and you sew cute things, and you can draw things that come to life AND you're a wonderful person AAAAAAND I'm really lucky to be able to call you a friend!!!

Sooo if you want a hug from me, come and get it! Good for today only...

...nah I'm kidding, I'll hug you as many times as you want!!! Hope you're having a wonderful day today!

Re: During 437 | Video

[realmenknitplushies]

[We're sorry, the kouhai you have tried to contact is out of range.

...Possibly due to being fast asleep while hugging the hell out of the biggest plushie he can find.

Please try again later.]

D460, audio

[windbreak]

Hey! It's me. [And he's clearly trying to sound as chipper as he usually does.] Just figured I hadn't caught up with you in a little while, so... What's up? Everything good?

Re: D460, audio

[realmenknitplushies]

...where have you even been, man?!

D479 // As yosuke's post is happening

[izanyagi]

Kanji, are you close to Yosuke right now?

Re: D479 // As yosuke's post is happening

[realmenknitplushies]

No goddamn idea. I'm knee deep in ice assholes. Why're ya askin'?

backdated to D480, audio

[windbreak]

Umm... Hey, it's me. They let me out. Said it wasn't as bad as it looked.

[He probably doesn't need to explain why today he doesn't sound as upbeat as his obnoxiously-timed check-ins usually are. Well, he does need to explain, but that's kind of the point.

Oh yeah, he has a point! Getting right to that, after a few more awkward seconds of stalling.]

If you're busy, it's no big deal, but if you got some time today... could you come with me to the park or somewhere later? ... To be honest, I'm gonna head there now. I just wanna clear my head.

[Good thing this isn't video, or he might give away the fact that he's not heading anywhere at this moment, only loitering just in front of the gates to the Freyr welcome hall. Of course, Kanji happening to be home after all and looking out the window at the wrong moment would screw that over, but... what are the chances?]

It's... Well, anyways. Later.

Text reply after a bit of a pause:

[realmenknitplushies]

Alright. Where do you want to meet up?

D523 around noon, voice

[windbreak]

Yoooo, Kanji! My main man! How're you holding up!?

[He wants a favour. There can't be a shred of doubt that he wants a favour. If he tried to sound even slightly more cheerful than this, his jaw would fall off.]

[realmenknitplushies]

[Yeeeeah. As clueless as Kanji might be, even he's getting that hint. A little warily-]

Doin' alright. What's up?

D562, video

[windbreak]

Dude! Do you know how weird it looks when you start dyeing your hair again!?

[Which is to say, good morning. Hopefully Kanji isn't quite as asleep as Yosuke still appears to be.]

[realmenknitplushies]

Wha-? The - the hell're you talkin' about?

[Okay, he's feeling pretty damn weird this morning, and not quite with it as he replies. He'd dreamt about - that was a dream, right? Damn weird dream, but what else-
- okay, last time he'd thought that it hadn't been, but in context -
- what else could it have been?]

D561 evening, audio

[windbreak]

Yo! P-Partner.

[His hesitation there is hardly perceptible, except for the off note that sounds in its silence.]

Uhh, listen. I guess you're not around today either, but let me know when's a good time to give you your scarf back. You know, you dropped it the other day? While we have the chance... [Whoops, hold on. He's going for as casual as possible here, and that's an entire off symphony.] Oh, not that I - ugh, you know what I mean. It just kept slipping my mind.

[This silence, in contrast, lingers. Even when he finally breaks it, it bleeds into his train of thought.]

Hey, seriously? I'm not mad. You knew that, right? You should've figured it out by now. You're... important to me, no matter what. And I keep trying to be someone you can rely on too. After all this is over, that's not gonna change. It's slow, but I wanna think I was getting there... so...

[...Goddamnit. Well, it doesn't matter. Which is to say it matters a lot, for Souji as well as him, but at least he can trust Souji to understand what he's getting at. Good thing he never has a reason to spout this kind of emotional crap to anyone else!]

...Alright, yeah, I know. But call me back anyway, okay? Later.

[realmenknitplushies]

[It takes a little while before a reply comes-]

Uh. H-hey. Yosuke. I ain't saying anythin', but... you might wanna check where you're sendin' messages next time. Or check somethin'.
