Already? That's pretty impressive.

[ Terry is rich but he's still sleeping on benches and cooking eggs over campfires. She feels kind of bad about it now, living the nice comfortable family life she has already. ]

Sure, I can hold onto it, if you're afraid of being mugged in the park or something.

[ There's very little crime in Hirajiro, but things can happen... ]

[ Honestly, considering his bad luck in this place, letting Kido hold onto the money sounds a lot safer. ]

Yeah! I worked hard to save up a lot. I'll be getting a cheap phone later too. I think I'm pretty close to the amount... and I can always haggle if I really have to.

[ Terry managed to get $10 equivalent off Rei's phone. He can do this. ]

[ Wow, that sure does make her feel guilty about hanging onto Terry's phone for this long, haha. She never actually uses it for anything more than a music player, seeing as she can't read or understand anything on there anyways. ]

That's great. Mondo and I were talking about that before, too, about how having phones would make it easier to keep in touch with people. That way, I don't have to walk all the way to the hospital every time I want to talk.

[ Never feel guilty, Kido. :') Keep it forever. It's a free music player! And a free projectile weapon I guess. ]

Haha... Yeah...

[ He knows there will still be times in the future where he'll need to be at the hospital because he's going to get poisoned by drinking blood regularly, but it's fine. It'll be fine. ]

I like seeing you in person though.

[ He doesn't deny his primary residence being the hospital... ]

We'll be seeing each other a lot more if we're going to be sharing a place with Rei, right? Phones are convenient for other things. Like if there's a sale somewhere and I need to send you on an errand.

[ Kido's actual canon reason why chatrooms are great: "No helping it. I’ve said this countless times, but being able to convey messages to multiple people is convenient. I can easily call anyone who’s free when there are limited sales of whole packs for the price of one egg."

Talking to friends? Not important. ]

[ Yup... he's never going to deny that because it's true now. rip. ]

I go to the market every day, so I already got that covered! I've been looking for sales all the time everywhere too. They tend to pop up frequently, so it's nice. But you need to get up early to see them in the market street though, or they'll be all gone by noon.

[ How else do you think he lived this past month on little money... ]

[ lmfao forget about the past month and a half, this is the moment when Kido falls in love ]

You're surprisingly reliable, huh? I'll go ahead and leave all the shopping to you, then, Terrence.

[ LMAO thanks kido...

Terry looks pretty happy about being called reliable though. He's pretty sure he can pull it off when he's blind too, so that's no problem. ]

Yeah! Leave it to me. There were never any sales on tents though, but I guess I won't need one anymore.

[ He checked every day when he could... ]

There wouldn't be any sales on tents, when they're not things that go bad or out of season, right?

[ He should have just bought one to begin with, because she's pretty sure they'll just sit there forever until somebody buys one or not. ]

I guess people don't go camping too much around here anyways... It's too bad, all this nature isn't' something you see a lot in the city, but I guess they're used to it.

Yeah, being surrounded by all the trees and mountains, it's--

[ ... Right, there isn't any ocean. Well, whatever. He can talk about this another time. ]

... Actually, talking about this reminds me when we first met, and when we both looked out the castle window to see the overview of trees.

[ There's a poisonous lake? It's about the same thing as an ocean. ]

...Yeah. It feels like such a long time ago.

[ She says it fondly, but the more she thinks about it, the memories themselves weren't all that fond. There was a lot of screaming, she recalls, a lot of running and her yelling at Terry and at one point or another she fell off the stairs and got crushed by some loose rock? A raccoon almost took out Terry's eyeballs.

She laughs a little at that. One of those tired, despairing laughs. ]

Yeah, I can't believe that was little over a month ago. It feels so much longer... We learned some things and some other stuff changed too.

[ He remembers a bunch of things that happened on that day... in hindsight, some of those moments could have really been avoided, and it could have been done differently, but they're here right now as a result of those choices. ]

But we'll get through them together.

[ Things and stuff is really putting it lightly, but it sure was a lot in a short amount of time. Even when she wanted to give herself some praise for being able to stand on her own two feet and fall into a routine, it never turned out that way and it feels like she's been tripping and stumbling on ever other step to get where she is right now, walking back to where it all began. ]

Mmhm. We're in this together, so... I'm real glad I met you.

[ As opposed to like. Kokichi. If Kido's first experience waking up in that castle were limited to just Kokichi, Neku, and/or Red, that castle would have been leveled the first day here and nobody would ever be able to get home, Kido would have immediately bad ended this game.

[ Damn, Kido... let's not bad end the entire game within a month...

Terry's heart feel full from hearing that, and honestly, he feels the same. From the first day they met to where they are now, his view on her wasn't all that different--she was cool, and a bit violent but he always trusted her despite everything because he knew she was always doing her best. ]

I'm... really glad to hear that. I'm happy to have met you too, Kido.

[ He wants to say more, but he stops himself there. Maybe he can say those words another day if he no longer feels scared of saying them. Anxiety spikes in his heart, and it's not just from his heart already beating fast either.

All he can see is darkness in this endless void, but he feels a little less lonely. ]

[ It's really too bad that we're going into endgame next month because Ichi rolled negative emotions for Kido and she's going to be out for blood.

The smile on Kido's face spreads when she hears that, because it's such a far cry from how she'd grown up— unwelcome and unwanted and scorned for simply existing- and things got better, then worse, and better and worse again, but things always get better again and she's glad she held on. ]

Guess I've got lots to be thankful for at the shrine, huh? It's not so bad being stuck here.

[ She'll take the lead now, pulling him towards the shrine, and we can fast forward or end the thread here or whichever you want Haki! ]

[ cetana: One Fear

Terry stays quiet as he follows Kido to the shrine, miraculously walking up the steps while he's blind, but there's a smile on his face throughout the time he spends with Kido. Even if they get to see the area from a higher point of view, Terry won't be able to see it, but honestly, he's fine with that. It's times like these that make him feel glad that he's still alive today, that he didn't give up on forsaking his purpose for existing, and that he has things to call his own--things that were never in his original's possession to begin with.

And that makes him happy right now.

We can end the thread here!! Gimme more card threads
