I woke up with pitch black feet and crushed doritos around my mouth. That's how I determined how my night went

(+61):
it's like my eyeball is being humped by my eyelid

[ghostfromthemachine]

wow that's definitely a description
how much sleep did you even get last night www

[ ...who even is this. this reply is definitely not from the number he meant to text? ]

1/3

[cosmo_call]

what are you saying, you were there with me! don't try to--

re:715

[bladed_dragon]

I'm not even sure what that means, but it sounds like a typical Tuesday night for you...

[ Can you feel the deadpan, Aoba? Can you? ]

[cosmo_call]

...
mizuki?

3/3

[cosmo_call]

wait.
if this is who i think it is.

[cosmo_call]

look, even i don't know what it means. that's what i'm trying to figure out.
so i take it you had no part in it?

[ghostfromthemachine]

wwwwwwwww ✌✨✨✨
I mean you were almost right, doesn't he have a stoat

[bladed_dragon]

there wouldve been sharpies and syrup involved if i was.
i thought you knew me better than that

[cosmo_call]

kaiko...

how are you even texting me??? did you steal mizuki's phone???
you shouldn't do things like that, give it back!

[cosmo_call]

sharpies and...

you know? i don't want to know.
though i suddenly feel really sorry for your boyfriend if that's what you consider a party, haha....

[ghostfromthemachine]

excuse me??? what are these accusations I am WOUNDED
I have my own number and it is not my fault you texted it :T

[ except for the part where she's the one who snuck herself into his contacts to enable misfires, but. you know. minor details! ]

[bladed_dragon]

maybe but i havent had any complaints yet
besides your half-drunk ass made me promise to stay away from your crotch

[cosmo_call]

your own...

[ He's slow on the uptake today, aforementioned eyelid humping and all. He's only just checked the contact profile of the person he's messaging. That is... not Mizuki. In fact the title of said person is filled with too many emojis to be someone he inputted himself. ]

oh.
well. then you shouldn't mess with people's coils, either!!

but i guess having a way to contact you instead of finding you in my clothes is a better way to handle things..

[cosmo_call]

it's good to know that even not sober i still have my priorities in order.. i mean, not that you're not great, but..
i mean

[ Aoba.... Just... Aoba. ]

how is it that someone i met at the dojo, a place of respect and honor, always teases me so badly?

[ghostfromthemachine]

don't worry you're still going to find me in random pockets
I wouldn't deprive you of that 😜

but it is more fair if you can bother me too www

[ and it makes her feel a little better, admittedly. not that she expects he'd need to, and not he's likely to call on what's to all appearances an obnoxious stray Allmate for help if he does need it, but... he has the option now, at least. ]

[bladed_dragon]

its called talent. im sure one day youll know what it feels like to have that~

[cosmo_call]

you're a saint.

[ How does he do this emoji thing... ah... ]

😐

[ Nailed it. ]

but i hope you know you're not in for anything particularly interesting here. mizuki is usually the only person i text. and it's usually at a ridiculous hour.

[ What even time is it? ]

[cosmo_call]

wh

what??

hey, rude! i have plenty of talents?

can you reprogram a broken down AI file and bring an old model AllMate back to working order?? in less than a day??

i mean sure, you can kick my ass into next week, but.. that doesn't mean i'm totally useless at everything.

[ghostfromthemachine]

I do my best ✨👀✨

it's still better if you can and you don't than if you can't and you want to or something 🤷
and it's not like I sleep www
you can always poke me if *you're* bored, I make a point of keeping busy with interesting things 👍

[ ...nailed it! that didn't sound needy or lonely at all— ha ha ha, who is she kidding. it's kind of embarrassing, really; going around being constantly overlooked is old hat, so she has no idea why she's having problems with it now—

well. all right. that might have something to do with the part where when she isn't overlooked it's usually by people who see her as a fancy electronic instead of even an incompletely sapient AI. ugh, no wonder she latched onto Aoba. ]

[bladed_dragon]

calm down lil boy blue, im only teasing you. no need to get your panties in a wad.

Good morning! I've run low on Aoba. I was wondering if I might be able to invite him over for dinner and cuddles this evening.

[Honestly, Touma feels giddy doing this, knowing he was working, and knowing that it was rather unprofessional of him. Furthermore, there was no guarantee he'd get Aoba on the line, so he can't help but marvel at his luck. If Haga had answered, he'd probably just apologize for prank calling.

[Especially since he has Aoba's number on his own coil. So calling the shop was a bit unnecessary.

[He can't stop smiling, though.]

[cosmo_call]

[ Immediately Aoba does a double take at the voice that greets him on the other end of the line. He's been daydreaming about it all day, so perhaps that's what makes his heart jump up into his throat, makes him put a hand over his mouth to hide the smile that creeps onto his face.. He looks around, at Haga-san shuffling around the things on a shelf nearest to the door, and shrinks down in his seat some. ]

Ah- What a surprise to.. hear someone calling for such an old model. We do have the parts.. but they won't be available until later.. Around five. [ He chews on his lip. His smile is probably audible, isn't it? He can feel his face heating up. ] But.. it sounds great. We can arrange even arrange drop off if you--

[ Then Haga-san moves off, huffing in effort as he makes his way into the back, and once his footsteps fade, Aoba goes back to the reciever. ]

Touma! [ He sounds like he's scolding him, but he can't help but laugh a little. ] Calling me at work? Do you really miss me that badly?

[luculence]

[In answer, Touma laughs when he's chided. Normally, he would take it literally, but he hears Aoba laugh too quickly for him to worry about it.]

Yes, I missed you. I've hit a brief lull in my work load so I've decided to call you before I get up to get coffee. I... probably should have called your coil directly, hah.

[In fact, at times, there's the quiet sound of other ringing phones in the background, and some muted chatter.

[Anyway, Junk Shop Heibon has good parts, and it's been awhile since he bought anything there, so...]

To compensate you for the time, and so you don't get in trouble, I don't mind buying some older parts. If Ren needs any maintenance, especially.

Consider it a gift that you can find useful, even if you don't need it right now. Even though I know you can buy the parts yourself. It's good to have spares, if you don't have something on hand. Okay?

[His earnest intent is probably audible.]
