Yeah, they're my classmates. Shima's got pink hair and is kinda lazy, and Izumo's got long black hair and is really standoffish when you first meet her.
They...really didn't say anything about me? Not even once?
[Rin sounds kind of hurt now. Shima and Izumo he could excuse with 'murdergames suck', but his own dad...damn.]
Shima and Izumo weren't on my team, so we didn't talk enough for that. [ he shakes his head ] And I told you, your dad talked about you. Both of you. I can't remember if he used your names or not, but it's not like I had a written description.
[ a beat ]
And you didn't exactly name him in conversation, either.
... Shima got caught, doing a murder. He was tasked with it by his leader. [ is explaining it better. ] Your dad...
[ he sighs. ]
Someone messed with his mind that week. He was convinced he had to kill to make sure no one else had to. I tried to convince him otherwise, but... He went after someone else. Got killed in self-defense. Even had a letter confessing in his pocket, like an idiot.
[ that last part was unnecessary but cloud is still >:( about that ]
You know, think our argument for why he shouldn't do it sounded a little like that. [ it didn't entirely but it was still a thing also i have realized i did not give you a memory yet do you want a game one or a canon one ]
[Yessss give me a memory, something from redacted is fine.]
Dad's a huge idiot who always wants to take on all the hard work so nobody else has to do it. It'd be just like him, to try to kill someone to keep others from having to do it.
...he's a really great dad though, even if he's an idiot.
[ you know what, because i think it's funny. i considered giving you your own threads back but instead rin gets a meeting of cloaked idiots in a white room, at a long white table.

[Wait, what?]
He went through one of these games too?
[WHAT?]
But- why didn't anyone say anything? We've been here like a month already!
no subject
[ he pauses to think. actually. ]
So... That means you know Shima and Izumo too, right?

[Even if it makes sense why nobody mentioned his name, he's still a bit bummed by it.]
Did they all at least come out of it okay?
no subject
... Yeah. Eventually. [ he grimaces a little ] Everyone came back at the end, so.
no subject
[Still focusing on the worst part here, even if they did come back.]
no subject
[ does that help. ]

[He's suddenly exhausted.]
Shitty old man, dying again like that! He shouldn't be wasting a second chance at life.

Actually-]
Wow, they're a bunch of dorks. That's everyone you were working with?
no subject
[ he looks a little embarrassed. god they were all so stupid. ]
no subject
It looks like you all got along though.
no subject
[ they spent all that one discussion arguing and with tiger trying to make thing terrible ]
'Cause I wouldn't say all.
no subject
[Nobody was physically fighting, he means. That's his bar for 'getting along'.]
no subject
I think your bar for getting along is too low.
