2/1, ~9AM

[motiv8]

Hey, Raina? You free tonight or tomorrow?

Friends and I were planning to grab dinner to celebrate the city not being on fire and I thought it might be a good opportunity to introduce you

[dereban]

I don't have weekend classes or any other plans, so I should be good.

[motiv8]

Well, then, consider this an open invitation. I'll let you know when I have exact times for things

How do you feel about seafood?

2/4, ~noon, 1/2

[motiv8]

Hey, so. Woke up with another change to my body thanks to the app.

There's a huge scar on my chest now. Left side.

It's not something you'd see regularly, but just in case we ever wind up going swimming or something, I wouldn't want you to freak out.

2/2, a couple of minutes later

[motiv8]

I figure I owe it to you to be straightforward about this much, anyway.

[Someone knows damn well he's in trouble.]

[dereban]

I'm so glad you're actually telling me things now. :)
Really, really glad. :)

2/14; Night

[jurai]

Raina?

So I wanted to give you a heads up in case you try and call your brother but he kinda passed out and he's sleeping on my couch


..

I realize that sounds sketchy considering the date but he's been acting REALLY weird

[dereban]

I wasn't planning to, but is he alright?

I actually

[ There's a short pause but eventually-- ]

I ran into him earlier and noticed that he was acting weird. Like, kind of obsessive and clingy in the creepy sort of way.

[jurai]

Physically? Yea. I've checked him over and he's just sleeping like a baby

But that's about where my knowledge ends

[He waits a moment before texting again.]

That's what he did to me too. Said I needed to be protected and kept safe

[He's not going to mention how things eScaLATed from there--that's more than enough information.]

That about what you got?

2/14, night but later than crow's;

[motiv8]

[Well, here goes nothing. He presses the button to dial her number, bringing his phone to his ear and leaning against the back of the couch as he tries to calm his racing heartbeat.

...He's not sure if he wants her to pick up or not.]

[dereban]

[ It doesn't take long for her to answer, because the moment she sees his name and number on her phone screen, she practically jumps at the chance to answer, fumbling on her cell before she finally says it, a little panicky: ]

Rean?!

[motiv8]

[Her not taking that long means he doesn't get much time to ready himself. But, well, there's no turning back now... here goes nothing.]

Y-yeah, it's me. Hey.

[He sounds a lot more like himself, now, at least.]

...Crow told me you wanted me to get in contact. And, ah, he wanted me to let you know he's been teasing me for whatever the hell I woke up wearing.

3/4, late afternoon

[motiv8]

[Between his promise to Eren to reach out to people before the week is up and his run-in with the wolf, Rean's still feeling anxious, but in the way where he wants to do something about it for a change.

He picks up the flower crown that the wolf somehow gifted him, twirling it over his hand for a moment before picking it up and taking a quick picture of it.

He texts the picture to Raina, along with the following messages:]

Wound up with this the other day. Think it'll probably suit you better.

[There's a decent pause between that message and this one, and if Raina's watching she'll see the little notification that he's typing on and off. He tries something, erases it, then tries again, but eventually:]

I'd like to talk with you about what happened down there. Whenever you're ready, and however you'd rather talk. I don't want to rush you or make you uncomfortable.

[Hopefully that's nonthreatening enough?]

[dereban]

[ Her answer is practically immediate, because while normally she'd either be in classes or at work at this hour, she isn't doing... either of those things. ]

You can just text me now. It isn't as if I'm doing anything else.

[ She really, really isn't. ]

[motiv8]

[He's not sure he likes that response, but... here goes nothing.]

If you're sure.

I'll be honest, I haven't really thought through what all I need to say. So I guess I'll just start with this:

1. Are you (physically, I'm pretty sure I know the answer otherwise) all right?

2. I'm so, so sorry for hurting you.

3/7

[sleepingknight]

[Sometime in the evening once it's properly dark out, Raina will hear the thunk of something hitting her window. Which... might be a little bit strange, given she's on the sixth floor.

Was that a muffled scream?]

[dereban]

[ She's playing some video games as was her usual past time in the evenings, and given that it's still rather early, that's enough.

Although the sound makes her a little wary, so she's going to grab a hatchet from her room it's a cosplay item, so it's fake and slowly unmatched the window and opens it. ]

[sleepingknight]

[Hi Raina, there's a girl clinging to your window. A cap is covering her ears, but she sure has red eyes and a pair of semi-translucent, sparkling wings behind her.

Oh god why did she crash oh god why did she crash into the window of a person with a hatchet--]

P-please just let me in, I'm gonna fall!

sometime between 3/7 and 3/11

[motiv8]

So, um

Hey

Update


on the whole thing I was super obvious about

[dereban]

Good news?

[motiv8]

Yeah. I'd say so

[There's a couple minute break, and then a picture: Rean (still looking exhausted) taking a selfie, flopped against the shoulder of a sleeping Crow.]

I am trusting you not to use this against either of us

dear sister;

[motiv8]

[With Yuuki's help, Rean's made it to the right building, and the right floor. He's knocked on two wrong doors so far, but that's all right. It's a minor embarrassment if it'll get him what he's after.

He reaches up to rap his knuckles against the third door, waiting for a response.]

[dereban]

[ When she hears the knock, she knows what's coming for her. While she isn't entirety mentally prepared for what's to come, she's going to try her best regardless, masking her emotions with a deep breath and a steely expression as she opens the door for him.

While she's cleaned up and looking almost presentable in complete black, there are obvious signs of something off - the bags under her eyes and just how red her eyes are. ]

Are we going to have this talk inside or are you planning on forcing me out for it now, Rean?

[ There's no kindness in her words, or even any emotion in it, either. ]

4/1, during retrospec post

[motiv8]

When you want to send someone a link to a Vine but honestly, it's more effort than they're worth

I looked it up anyway, though, and it's funny, so

Here.

[dereban]

What the fuck happened.

Do I even want to know.
