[Hello Lunatia! It is Rin! This time looking much better than the last time he was on the network via video.

White hair is still there, but he's pretty sure that's permanent anyway.

He's fiddling with a ring on a chain at his neck, looking thoughtful as he turns the camera on and sits back.]

Okay, so uh. Who here has any experience with like... plannin' and settin' up a wholeass we--

[...]

Damn it, why did I say "wholeass". Real mature.

[He coughs and shakes his head, trying again.]

Who here has any experience plannin' and settin' up an actual weddin'? Like I know there's the weird rings and you can just sign a paper here, tada you're married! But like. I kinda wanna do an actual legit weddin'. Dresses and tuxes and food and all that. Thing is... I remember havin' a lotta of 'em at the church I grew up next to but I was real little so I have no idea what actually goes into them and I could really use some help figurin' this out. Sooooo.... yeah. Actual advice please? Or if anyone is actually willin' to help me out with this? If you wanna be weird about it go do it somewhere else.

[A pause, then:]

OH! And uh totally unrelated but I'm havin' a special at Nissan's Teppanyaki this month. Fried jellyfish. Kinda like calamari but a bit softer. It's pretty good but I'm only gonna have it for a limited time.

[Totally just... put in an advertisement into his question about weddings.

Stay classy, Rin.]

[Usagi ... is not a pro but she may be helpful after a while... Before that though, first things first! She heard weddings and marriage and that's all she needs to get all excited.]

OH MY GOSH!! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!! WOW, THAT'S AMAZING!! DID YOU MEET EACH OTHER HERE-???!!!

[ ... What is volume control?? But also he may have seen her at his restaurant a lot or at least she's eating there often.]

[Hello volume. Let's just... drop that down a couple of notches.

But yes, he recognizes her. Kind of hard to miss that much blonde. She's always been really friendly, though, so he doesn't mind talking with her about this.]

The world we were in before this, actually. But we found each other here again. We've been together for like... almost two years now? And I asked her back in June.

[ He's sat by a window with a book (a tattered, yellowed paperback; when he takes his hand off of it, the cover flops back to reveal what appears to be an alien bodice ripper). ]

Have you ever thrown a party?

Mm, yeah. Once for my birthday last year. I used to do some like, potluck stuff back in the place I was before here, too.

It is like that, but more elegant.

...what is a potluck?

Oh. Okay, I think I can... probably figure it out from there.

And a potluck is like a party but where people bring their own dishes for others to try, and also so the host doesn't have to be in charge of all the food.

What

...

did i forget to mention that?

oops!

[He's not at all sorry.

This is what you get for not talking to him ever!

Suck it.]

[There's no way Rin means that.

But there's no other explanation. There's nothing else Rin could possibly mean here. He's been gone for years. He's almost nineteen.

There's that distance stretching between them, huge and empty. Yukio has always known Rin, has always known at least the surface of what's going on in his twin's life, been able to understand where Rin was coming from and what he'd do next.

But Rin is almost nineteen, and Yukio just turned sixteen, and--

oops!]

First of all, congratulations on your engagement.

I can't say I have much experience regarding weddings, but if you do find that you need someone to sing for you at your wedding, I would be honored to perform there. I can send you some samples if you're interested.

Thanks.

[Oh yeah, entertainment would be a thing.]

Sure! That sounds awesome!

I'll send some samples for you right away, then. I can learn any song you want me to, if you like the sound of my voice and sing it for you as a record as well so you can sample it.

Yeah! That sounds awesome! Lemmie hear what you've got first then I can figure out some songs.

[ He said the "w" word and she'd recoiled. Closed the video to come back to it after a small, impromptu power nap because she had very suddenly felt exhausted, but eventually, she's up again and she watches it properly.

She's happy for Rin. She'd encouraged him, even, but she isn't sure how to approach this. There's part of her that would just as soon turn over and go back to sleep due to the timing and certain subjects on her mind, but it isn't Rin's fault. ]

You should consult an actual wedding planner. Enter it in the search function and something should come up.

[ It's common sense. She certainly never did such a thing. ]

One thing they're likely to tell you is that you can't cater you're own wedding, so get that idea out of your head.

[ She isn't commenting about the special. She's fine. ]

[Look, it's happening.

Rin respects that she has a negative association with them but this is about his and Kohaku's happiness.]

kohaku already told me i couldn't anyway

but yeah i'll look that up thanks

[ That's at the center of her reply to begin with despite her own issues, thoughts, and the complicated feelings she harbors about the subject. Their happiness, her care and consideration for them and that because it's part of hers as well and she's put it before those things.

That's how much she cares, to reply to this, anyway, and show that much support by pointing him in a more professional direction, but the ins and outs of her care and movements are a complicated thing and Rin is a simple boy.

It's fine. She's done this much for the moment. If he needs or wants to ask her something in particular about it, he knows how to get ahold of her. It seems a... not a fine place to leave it, but acceptable.

She's got things to do today, too. ]
