[backdated: july 3rd] video —> text responses; un: otoproxy
[ although the thought of reaching out via text had crossed his mind (exhausted as it is) more than once, Otonashi ultimately settles on video for the sake of consideration. if anyone had seen Ruca’s earlier message and still had lingering concern, seeing him functional and able to speak for himself should alleviate it.
he’s not quite fine given the tells of poor sleep etched into his face, but he’s not torn to pieces or missing, either. ]
Hey... I just thought showing my face would be the right thing to do after I wasn’t able to for... uh, however long. [ a pause before he continues: ] 3, 4 days? I’m... not your go-go person if you need someone keeping track of time.
[ death will do that to a person. what do days matter when they blur together in endless time? ]
With that great character flaw covered and out of the way... I’m Otonashi. Anyway, I wanted to pitch an idea to everyone for—something like a club? A support group? I haven’t been here very long, but I’m, ah, noticing a trend... [ of people with poor socialization, or who have issues making friends, or trusting people, or... hm. his point. ] ... and I think there’s a lot of strength in organized numbers. I know there are groups designed to protect, clinics, recreation, but I was thinking something a little more informal?
[ he has to workshop it a bit more, but the world certainly has enough space to accommodate wishes such as this. surely it’s feasible, and if it already exists? all the better. strength in numbers. ]
I’m going to leave this here... My roommate insisted I sleep with him, and he was pretty adamant on not taking ‘no’ for an ans— [ almost as if on cue, the sleepy, comfortable voice of Ruca cuts in for those who may be familiar, slurring Otonashi’s name. Otonashi, in turn, takes the opportunity to turn aside to yawn a little. ] —answer... Right, so, let me know what you think..? See you later, switching to text.
( so Otonashi is running on empty, getting back from a series of unfortunate events, and letting everyone know he’s fine following some choice, sleepy wording. chaos may ensue. responses may come from Otonashi or Ruca (
demonicbookworm), probably text but may swap depending! disclaimer: they are not, in fact, about to go to town on each other. )

head up, I’m day 1 post op and doing my best but tags may be slow and if they’re off;;
hey, glad you’ve got someone who has your back. if he’d like to come along for something like this, we’d always have a place for him too.
I had a lot of friends back home with similar stories - disowned, homeless, beaten or damaged by their own parents or another kind of ugly situation. I know we’re you’re coming from. me, I still have a lot of lingering amnesia... I only just got my name back before I came here. I wouldn’t have been able to tell you anything about my except my surname, Otonashi, if I hadn’t... had some buried memory dragged out of me.
[ not a fun experience. ]
but we’ll have more chances to talk in person, too. thanks for trusting in something like this... i know trust isn’t an easy thing to give especially when you’ve found yourself in a bizarre new world.
[ necessary, but not easy. ]
<3 no worries and best of luck in recovering!
[It's why they got along so well.]
Oh, Otonashi's your surname? Sorry, I had it backwards in my head. Which would you prefer me to call you, then? I know some people who call me Fotia as a formality.
[Mostly it was Galo's fire captain that called him Fotia, but other officials in Promepolis had from time to time as well, whenever they looked to him as the unofficial ambassador for the burnish.]
And it's no trouble. I can't say I have blind faith in it, but I'm willing to see where it leads if it means offering more support to our community.
