[ Incoming IM on the device from one Axel all of a sudden! ]
Hey there. You got a minute?
Hey there. You got a minute?
Oh, nothing too big...
...Besides that it seems that there is a secret I must confess to you! Now, will you bear witness to knowing such a thing, no matter how distressing it is?
[ Totally sounds serious, right? ]

Alright my new partner in crime, strap yourself in because things about to get ~ 🔥 INCENDIARY 🔥 ~ and I'm not talking about just baby flames here, I'm talking smokin', fresh off the press, one-of-a-kind explosive reactions!
[ Is he regretting this yet... ]
You see, once upon a time there was a young boy named Lea, sometimes called Axel, and he had secrets upon secrets dumped upon them! Like a jetstream of 'em! That kind of fiery.
But this one in particular? Oh no. It was a personal one, that he kept near and dear to his heart. That's right.
One fateful night, this young man concocted a grand scheme, with a dear friend of his. It was a secret only known to him and his friend. To rescue another an important young girl who had gone missing! A task that they sworn secrecy in their own attempts. But alas, to this day, she still remains unfound.
And I have kept this search secret, close to my heart, even to this day.
...
So, how's that for a page turner? That liven up your day?

I can always appreciate someone with a good ear for great storying telling.
But, yeah, kinda.
[ It is a mystery at this time!! Sometimes things are like that!! ]

I'd say definitely finer than fine.
So you don't have to worry too much! I'm already planning on the biggest reunion party once I find out where this missing friend of mine is.
Like the largest treat yourself day in the history of ever.
By the way, this was totally a result of a dare. And a guy like me had to follow it to a T. Glad I made a good choice in who to tell, though.
[ He is Just Like this, yeah. ]

Oh, that sounds good. A reunion party sounds really fun.
You shouldn't ever feel pressured into doing a dare that you're uncomfortable with, okay? If it's a battle of two kinds of pride, I think getting to keep your privacy wins out a little bit.
[ Axel is like older than Ryuki in spirit, I say as I don't actually remember how old Axel is. He's been around forever... his wisdom is infinite... ]
This is really late for you to be doing the dare. Were you hanging out at the party?

Hey, I'm the kind of guy who doesn't back down from any dare.
Most dares. I gotta prove it. Though, I can't say I can remember the last time someone's been worried about me taking a Dare before. You're a real thoughtful guy, aren't ya?
[ It's okay...Axel is about *checks notes* 25. Does it mean he acts his age? Debatable. ]
I was, for a little bit, but a guy's gotta maximize his opportunities to play in party games no matter where they're happening, you know what I mean?

I've known some people who do some crazy things because they have something like pride hanging on it.
I haven't been at a party in a while!
I got sidetracked and didn't go.
I hope it was fun! 🎉

[ Hecking crying ]
Sounds like you know a lot of interesting people, eh? Coincidentally, I also do like to live my life on the edge. 😎
But yeah, it was a blast. If you want we could potentially extend those party hours a bit by us trading a few rounds of said party game.
Of course that'd mean swooping on over in person.
[ Because clearly Axel has not learned his lesson, and maybe because he's a party kind of guy. ]

I don't know if interesting is the right word. I think that might encourage them which is no good.
Maybe! If I'm not busy I'll go to another one if people are still going to do them. I don't know how heroic it is but social gatherings are nice sometimes
[ Little does he know, that there will murder happen,
but also little does he know that murder does not stop people from partying. ]

Heh. Easily encouraged works too.
But hey, I'll talk to you later, then. Hope to see you at another one of the big party gatherings. Might as well take it easy before whatever heroics they need us for start in kind. And if not then I'm sure we can catch up elsewhere.
[ ...And then there's the murder instead on the horizon, RIP. ]

[ Ryuki is here plinking away at one of the arcades, I guess... I will just make it pong. He's just watching the white ball plonk around while idly moving the stick. Well, his hand-eye coordination is bonkers and he's killing it at least so there's that...
Until suddenly, he somehow misses the platform in a way that makes it seem like the ball just phased right through the bar, and he loses. How'd that happen. ]
Aw. Oh, hi Axel.
[ Seeing him in the reflection of the screen before turning around. ]

[ Ping-pong time!
Axel of course probably stepped up right at the end of all that, but he's raising a hand in a bit of a little wave, even if clearly he imagines he was seen (or noticed) before he said anything. Easy enough, given how screen works, to be quite honest. ]
Yo, Ryuki. How's it going? You manage any winners yet?
[ He takes a gander at the machine himself wondering if he didn't just imagine the ball just phase through like that... ]

[ ...Axel takes a look at the results and wonders if it is lucky to get that high or unlucky to literally just be a single point away.
Then, considering the impossible blunder? Yeah, he'll be filing that away with the latter immediately. ]
Productive like what? Playing other kinds of games?
Brushing up on any skills you might have? Like, cooking or something?
[ He's just throwing out random silly suggestions, but hey, it's only the start of the week. ]

No, unless those games are going to tell me secrets about this city and whatever they're hiding.
[ Which, after a short beat, he thinks maybe he brought it down too low so he tries to latch onto the second topic to lighten it back up. ]
I don't do a lot of cooking but Tama always said I should try. I used to, but not so much anymore.

[ Axel's going to give a snort at that even if he imagines it to be not meant as a piece of humor... ]
Well, who knows? There could be games like that out there. We might be able to get creative.
[ ...he rolls with it. ]
Why not start it up again for the hell of it, then? We've got enough free time between our potential snooping around of this place. I'll even try it out if you make something like Pizza.

If there is one, you can let me know and I'll play it a lot. If it requires good hand-eye coordination then I'm usually pretty good at them.
[ Was his high pong score luck... or skill? It could be both. ]
Pizza sounds a bit like a tall order. I don't remember how expansive our dorm kitchen is, but we do allow visitors though.
[ So maybe another time cooking pc to unwind from stress. Or it can be this thread we'll find out. ]
Do you cook?

Heh, well, I'll be keeping that in mind, then.
[ Why not both indeed?
That said, Axel moves a hand to his chin as a expression of light thought comes through, seeming to consider his options. ]
We could always drop by your dorm kitchen and make it a dual-cooking session.
As for my cooking skills...I'd say they're not non-existent. But, I could do with brushing up on what I can do, since I'm at a pretty basic level myself. Though, why let that stop us?
[ See what kind of chaos results from that...! ]

Oh, that sounds pretty good... if we end up making a lot, you can take some home or I think my dormmates will eat them anyway.
[ Wow, dorm life is fun! (?) ]
Don't let anything stop you! Except... maybe a kitchen fire. As long as you don't mix oil and water it should be okay?
