[ LONG



ASS




PAUSE ]

Are you trying to roleplay with me?
Now of all times??

[maskreant]

no.

i'm saying get a hold of yourself or else you'll screw this up.

[maskreant]

[usurpers]

Next time, actually come over and slap me. I want the full effect.

[— or maybe you know what, HE’LL JUST SMACK HIMSELF, THERE ]

I’ll save you the trip this time.

[maskreant]

[ you. are so stupid. and he loves you. ]

it shocked you out of your spiral, so i think it did what it was supposed to do.

you’re going to do great, even if it’s a pixel donut.

[usurpers]

[ eren jaeger: would literally fight himself ]

I’m not giving him a pixel donut. It has engravements and they look like
No, they’re actually squiggles.

[maskreant]

[ How does he stop you... ]

if you're really bent on the date, you can try doing it in one of the areas the subway takes you. at least those have some semblance of the real world.

[usurpers]

I can’t not see him on our anniversary.
Let me get back to you.

[usurpers]

[ then, late 21st: ]

Code Yellow??? I need you until further notice.

[maskreant]

[ Oh... Their anniversaries are so close— ]

what does yellow even stand for?

[usurpers]

[usurpers]

I need you to keep Elliot so busy he can’t go out with me. Not until these are back to normal soon.

[ WHICH HE HOPES IS SOON IF OCTOBER IS NEAR ]

[maskreant]

thank you.

sure, but is that really necessary?

[ LIKE CANT YOU BE NORMAL UNTIL THEN ]

[usurpers]

As a last resort I gave him one of my Lego Coyote Tangos and when he asked why I panicked and tried to say that it was because it takes two to tango, don’t you think it’s necessary?

[maskreant]

[ No, HE CAN'T HELP BUT SNICKER AT THAT. ]

that's really bad.

wait. so are you telling me you didn't go through your proposal? or did you have the audacity to really follow up THAT with your pixel ring?

[usurpers]

I panicked.

And no? of course not. I’d never propose after that. But I don’t want to meet up with him and get so nervous to not say anything again and tell him about how we’re drift compatible or something.

[maskreant]

[ drift. compatible. ]

i'll distract him as much as i can, but it'll seem suspicious if you hide in some cove by yourself. show up once in a while, all right?

[usurpers]

Just don’t leave me alone with him.

I feel horrible.

[maskreant]

don't be so hard on yourself, Eren.

you'll get it next time.

[usurpers]

If he asks if you think I’ve been weird, I can’t even think of a good excuse. Can you?

[maskreant]

no, because it’ll just bite you later on when you have to tell him the truth.

you can say you’re trying to figure out your alternate life and this one. it was somewhat different, right? you and Clover were a thing.

[usurpers]

We still are.

[ not . . . the same, but ]

I just hope all of this doesn’t come back to bite me anyway.

[maskreant]

it's going to come back and bite you.

it doesn't matter how solid your hind is.

[usurpers]

[ ........... ]

It’ll be fine once I have them.

[maskreant]

of course. i'll support you as much as i can.

try not to worry your head off.
