week 0, monday, shrine

[nightchild]

[Itsuki ducks as a flower arrangement flies across the table, narrowly missing his head, then he pops back up.]

Didn't think a wedding for ghosts could be more chaotic than the kind for the living.

[he kind of likes it? the chaos, he thrives]

[gogoghostpowers]

Really? Ghosts are pretty chaotic in general.

Nice dodge, by the way.

[nightchild]

Thanks. Speaking from experience?

[he says, JOKINGLY]

[gogoghostpowers]

About ghosts, or dodging?

...well, the answer's yes to both, so I guess it doesn't really make a difference.

[nightchild]

-- Yeah?

[HEWWO HE WAS JOKING?? but maybe he shouldn't be so surprised]

You're pretty much the perfect guy for all of this then.

[a pile of flowers are dropped on the table next to them,]

week 1 thursday

[nightchild]

[hello danny where are u itsuki is here now

he's holding two somewhat sloppily made kites in his hand, made out of construction paper and those art supplies tongue depressors]

Hey, Danny. Wanna fly a kite with me?

[gogoghostpowers]

Uh. Sure.

You really think those'll fly, though?

[nightchild]

I'm sure. I'm the one made them, after all.

[dubious.... anyway he'll hand one messily glued up kite over to danny... the string is..................... craft thread........... it's not that long, oh well]

[gogoghostpowers]

Uh-huh. [ this is gonna crash and burn, but he'll entertain this ] And what wind are we gonna use to get 'em up in the air with?

[nightchild]

[hm






] We can just climb on top of that big ride and fly them from up there.

[WHY]

week 3 tuesday

[nightchild]

[HELLO DANNY, Itsuki's now in this bubble, and at this point they all know how this works. He nods at him, and then taps it with a bit of color]

[timestamp: up to 7:22

in this one Itsuki is the one who is found and escorted, the blond haired boy is friendly, the blue-haired one rebuffs any attempt at conversation. that's fine, because your entire attention is caught up with the experience of flying. the city looks so small beneath you, but when the ship comes into view... you stop thinking. you've never seen anything like it before. is it possible for humans to have made this? Even if it is the government, a ship like this...

you can't even see how it's in the air. it's just suspended. the memory ends on your awe, at the sight of its behemoth size floating in the sky]

[gogoghostpowers]

[ yaywon i'm losing my mind about that fucking apple

anyway Danny doesn't even need to have his awe artificially boosted with the memory of Itsuki's--he's amazed all on his own. When he comes out of it, he just stands still, slack-jawed for a moment, before... ]

Dude...what?! That was...incredible! What was that?!

[nightchild]

[LLDMLSM

Itsuki smiles at his enthusiasm,]

It's called the Norn. It was the ship I was on before I got here. I think it was taking us to America.

[gogoghostpowers]

That was a ship?! It looked like--gosh, a mechanical planet!

Where were you before, then? Why was it going to America?

[nightchild]

It is pretty big, huh? I still have no idea how it flies.

I was in Japan before that. We're just going to America so we can meet the leaders of the other nations there. That's where I'll be assigned to a country.

w4, thursday

[gogoghostpowers]

[ Danny! In The Sim Room! He's just in here looking at the little panel asking for your fingerprint, seemingly deep in thought. ]

[nightchild]

[itsuki will poke his head in]

Hey, Danny. Trying out the room?

[gogoghostpowers]

[ blinks and looks over! ]

Oh! Uh, yeah. Or, trying to figure out what I wanna use it for first, I guess.

[nightchild]

[he waves as he moseys on in,]

Got a lot of places you want to see, huh?

[gogoghostpowers]

Ha, yeah, I guess so. It's just--when you can pick literally anything, where do you start?

week 6 sunday

[nightchild]

[he absolutely does not want to ambush danny in this neon hellscape right after they both died, so he'll wait a few hours later to send this. hopefully danny will have settled somewhere and gotten some time to himself...]

hey danny
it's me, itsuki

[gogoghostpowers]

[ Danny gets the text message, and then just. stares at it. for several minutes. He doesn't know what to do with this. He can't just say "hi" back, it's unthinkable, after what he did!!

so his response is a combination of barely even processing what this is, and wanting to know what Itsuki wants before he responds. ]

[ READ XX:XX ]

[nightchild]

[maybe he should have waited until tomorrow....

but itsuki's learned a lot of things from the prism, and it's that anything could really happen. he thinks of all his last minute texts he'd saved on thursday, fully expecting that he'd be able to delete them later.

what could happen if he put it off? would it be fair to danny? to him? he's not sure. he's never experienced anything like this before. killing, yes. dying? not so much. after another hour, he sends another text]

do you know what an applebees is

[gogoghostpowers]

[ another few minutes left on read, where Danny is just absolutely puzzling over this message ]

i
yeah?
it's a restaurant

[nightchild]

[success!

maybe....?]

wanna meet me there?
