Hey fellow Moonblessies. [ Yuzuriha doesn't hide the fact that she's in a sour mood this evening, trying to smile and then swiftly giving that up. ] I absolutely hate not being able to get any good sleep. These days I keep having the same few dreams and at first it was all fine and dandy, I could just act like it never happened, but lately they're really trying to dig at me...

[ There's a moment where she looks away from the screen, a little miffed, and then it becomes evident that she's struck with something -- anyone familiar may know this as Yuzuriha's "brain blast". ]

Someone must've put a curse on me! I mean, it'd make sense after because I -- [ Have already made enemies? That's just one dude and she doesn't pay attention to the rest. ] just attract those kinds of people. It's so hard to live when you're just the ideal girl... [ Queue a dramatic sigh, the back of her hand being placed against her forehead as she leans against her couch. ]

All jokes aside I'm bored and would reaaaaaaaaaally love some company right now. Especially since I doubt I'll be sleeping anytime soon, so! [ She clasps her hands together, now focusing in on the camera with a wide grin. ] What kind of dreams wake y'all up in a fuss?

...

[ She's silent, at first, a bit taken aback by his answer; it comes from a genuine place and she immediately recognizes that, her heart betraying her the moment it strums hard against her chest. Yuzuriha can only keep her expression from faltering, even if she does briefly pan the video away from herself. ]

Saying all that with a serious tone... You've got a hell of a heart, Riou-san.

[ When it pans back her eyes narrow, lips turned into a frown. ]

But you're not gonna win me over so easily! I've still got three more walls of trust you gotta get past before I let you in on all my trauma. [ Is this a joke? She's certainly making it seem like it is by the way she gestures at the air. ] But I appreciate it... Really. If we were face-to-face right now I'd press your cheeks together and kiss you all over for being so damn cute.

So I might be a pretty shitty person, but I'll try bein' a good friend to you. Don't let anyone hear about it though, 'kay?

Everyone is entitled to privacy.

[ He likes her but he's well aware that neither of them have known each other long enough to really get into the deep levels of trauma. He takes no offense at her cutting him off before they go too deep. But he thinks it's important to let her know that she's not as far or as alone as she thinks. He doesn't know and can't know her personal experiences as she's experienced them, but she's not alone and she has someone who will listen if she wants to. ]

I've been told I barely classify as a person, but I will try being a good friend too.

[ Though he considers for a moment, and as if in response to her suggestion about cheeks and kissing, he sends her a follow-up text message: 😗 ]

[ And of course there's a piece of her who wants to shy away from this; content with lying through her teeth, with people having this perspective that she's just a natural born killer. And yet Riou, as well as a few others, don't view her as that. It's as scary as it is comfortable, a foreign warmth spreading through her chest that she instinctively wants to shake off -- but she allows it to grow, lips twisting into an embarrassed smile. ]

Who said that? I'll rough 'em up for sayin' something so rude about my Riou-san!

[ninpos]

[ She cants her head to one side when she receives the text message, a little confused --

And then she reads it.

Hello!? Let her be the one that's affectionate not the other way around!? ]

[ninpos]

[ He is literally gonna get a message back like this.

He's so goddamn cute!? ]

I'm seriously gonna kiss you! So much! You better be ready at all times 'cause the second I spot you anywhere I'm jumping on.

[grylls]

[ He doesn't respond to who it is, instead focusing on interpreting the onslaught of heart emojis. That's. A lot. He doesn't know how to respond to that. ]

I'm always ready for anything.

[ So he'll catch her if she jumps.. ]

[ninpos]

[ Best boy... ]

Good! [ She's grinning from ear to ear, lips parting as she releases a small yawn. ] Well... That was nice gettin' some things off my chest, I think I can go to sleep nice and easy thanks to Riou-san's kindness~ [ She brings up a hand to give him a short wave. ] You should sleep, too! Maybe we'll meet each other in our dreams.

[ It doesn't work that way, but she sounds a little hopeful. ]

G'night, Riou-san!

[ She'll cut off the video after that... and go to sleep probably dreaming of Mu Dan, unfortunately.

But it's okay because she keeps to her word and really does end up jumping him the next time they meet ugh. That's her best friend. ]
