Hello. This is Raven.

If you aren't too busy, I was hoping we could meet somewhere, in light of the other day.

It seems to me that we got off on the wrong foot.

I was thinking we could meet in Shibuya. It's rather accessible, after all, and certainly has no shortage of activities, should the need arise.

[A message arrives a few days after the operation.]

Hello again.

First and foremost, I wanted to apologize. What I said about getting off on the wrong foot wasn't entirely a lie, but the fact remains that I lured you into a situation without your consent.

You deserve to know how it came to that.

Aragaki-san messaged me with information regarding your 'true nature.' We had concerns that the way you reacted wasn't entirely of your own volition. It seemed troubling that you would become so hostile at my criticisms of Shido and then suddenly snap back into place when Crow arrived.

I contacted Futaba-san shortly after because she seemed the most qualified. A group chat was made not long after, wherein plans were made to try and find a way to break you free from Shido's influence, assuming it was forced upon you.

I was selected as "bait" because I was the least likely to rouse suspicion. It was Phoenix's idea to use a Palace. The others came as backup in case everything went awry.

None of us wanted to hurt you, but obviously, there's no disputing the fact that we effectively went inside your mind. Our plan involved tampering with you, and if you were truly tampered with before, I know that such actions, regardless of intention, must have brought back painful memories.

I can only hope that in time you will be able to find some form of happiness. Good intentions or not, you are not obligated to treat us with forgiveness and understanding.

That's all.

From Phoenix, 3 days later

I know hearing from one of us is probably the last thing on your mind. You're under no obligation to respond, but for the record

I really am sorry it went down this way. The manipulation, the fight. All of it. I don't regret making the decision to get you out of his control, but it could have, and should have, been handled better than it was.

Again, no obligation to respond, but if you have a place you'd like me to drop them, I have some stuff I've used to get paint out of feathers without causing damage. (Sorry again)

Or hell, if you need to get some aggression out of your system, you can tell me where to meet up and that's an option too.

It's been like a week

[This has popped up as typing at least once a day]

You looked scared, and I guess I can't blame you. I rooted around in your head, just like Maruki did to several people here.

I just wanted to make sure you're okay, that you don't feel like your personality got fucked with. That you feel like you can do what you want.

The offer to attack me is still on the table, if you need to confirm I didn't do anything else.

Yeah, that was about par for the course. He sighed quietly, and sent the response.

It'll be in a bag to the left of the main entrance in one hour.

It made sense that he'd need more than words. Story of my fucking life, right?

That said, he'd be in front of the Diet Building at the appointed time, carrying a small bag of cleaning products which were appropriate for use on skin and hair- he had no idea what Falcon's hygiene routine looked like.

He looked up at the building with an expression of supreme distaste, before casually glancing around to check if he was, perhaps, being observed.

I understand those feelings. If I had known how to get your consent I would have. It didnt seem you took the hints when we first met. And I wasn't going to try and do it plainly when I knew it would turn into a one on one I couldn't bring myself to win.

If you wish for it to be removed, then I can. I can't access it remotely, I put securities on it.

Honestly, i thought attacking me would prove i didnt code you to be "not dangerous" because trust me you arent the most dangerous here, theres been someone killed here before. I would have let you kill me if Ren wasn't there.

Terrible timing from Dove

Hello, Falcon. I hope this isn't a bad time, but I thought I would check in and see how you were doing.
herewardbound: (Default)

[personal profile] herewardbound 2024-04-11 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
He was slightly surprised, that Falcon had any desire to interact at all.

He was not surprised that Falcon was holding him at gunpoint.

Phoenix set the bag down, and stepped back, as ordered. "How're you holding up, aside from the obvious?"

[It takes some time for Raven to reply, though he does read the message relatively fast.

Should he reply? Or should he leave it be? It's hard to say.]


I don't think you're an object. That we "needed" to intervene doesn't change the fact that we did so without clear consent or communication.

We weren't sure how else to approach it, but whatever excuses we could make don't change the fact that you were hurt by our actions. None of them should expect you to be happy, let alone forgive us.

I don't blame you for the things you said before. I understand that they likely weren't by choice. It hurt, but whatever pain it brought certainly pales in comparison toward something so dire as intruding upon your very being.

You deserve time and space to process everything at your own pace.

My apologies for the terrible timing. Is it anything I can assist with? I would be glad to lend a hand if you need it.

[personal profile] herewardbound 2024-04-11 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
'Fine'. Yeah, sure.

He sighed. Right now, he wanted more than anything to just... be at home. Vent to Kai, or Via. Or Poppy, though she was going through her own shit.

He wanted to break something. Couldn't go into the Metaverse, not alone, definitely didn't think Falcon would appreciate being followed anyway.

Not for the first time, he wished alcohol did something for him other than give him anxiety.

Fuck it, going back home.

Dove spends a long time typing. A very long time. It seems like he has quite a bit to say. Messages pop up after another.

Truth be told, I'm not certain there's a singular answer to that. In my own case it's a matter of conviction. I continue on because I have something I must fight for.

That's not to say I don't suffer from doubts. I have many doubts, and if you were to ask me at any given moment, I would surely have some I would be reluctant to trouble others with.

But when I compare those doubts to Amamiya-san, I find that they matter much less. Amamiya-san is something real, even among the lies I've found myself surrounded by. And so, I'll continue to seek him out, even if I find myself questioning everything.

So I would say that, at least for myself, it's a matter of finding what you believe in. Whether it be your Amamiya-san, your sense of justice, your friends, or something else entirely. There is something that is real to you. Something that you care for, and is your own truth.

Well he'd hoped to hear back eventually- but he'd never expected this soon.

He read the text with a frown. Ahhhh shit.

"Hey Renée... you got a Soma?"

...

The how of it wasn't important, in the end. The important bit was that he was on his way, with a small phial of silver-white fluid, and he was moving at speed.

One day. One day he'd figure out those fucking portal spells.
