I'm assuming he knows how bad of an influence you are over me, then. How terrible. Morrigan's perception of me is warped because of you.

No place is foolproof of pickpockets, but I'll trust your word. Do be careful, Akira.

[maskreant]

he likes you. i think that's the important part, Gowo.

this place is. have you ever been to the Velvet Room?

[ He's only guessing because... Goro can use multiple Personas, too. ]

[twostringsonebow]

Thank you, Akiwa. I like him too.

Is that a club of some kind?

[Does that answer the question.]

[maskreant]

it’s a room that exists between dreams and reality, open to guests or prisoners known as the Wildcards. in there, you can call different Personas and i think they also provide other services.

the residents there are quite something.

[twostringsonebow]

[...]

Was that the odd blue place in your dream?
You were behind bars there, if I remember right. It was quite a striking part.

[maskreant]

yeah, it's that one.

it's exactly the same here, but at least the cell has a bed. the master and attendants aren't here, either.

[twostringsonebow]

I see.
Then, outside of that time, I have not been to the Velvet Room.
I'm glad to hear those three aren't there, however, I found them quite disconcerting. Especially the long nosed one.

[Deals and words that mean nothing to him. Hmph. Trickster...]

I'm drawing closer to your location, so please don't fall asleep there. I'm not sure I could reach a place that's nebulously between dreams and reality.

[maskreant]

[ Staying in the Velvet Room is tolerable without the attendants. Only reason why he even decides to stay there sometimes. ]

i agree. he seems the least... human? though i don't think they are human.

if only you could. then you could see how good i look in stripes.

[twostringsonebow]

... They look a little similar to how Miss Liz does, actually, though she is clearly human. I can't say the same for the little terrors.

Hmmm. I'll just arrest you myself. On the charge of... being illegally good looking.

[maskreant]

she was an attendant, but that doesn’t change anything. i am wondering if maybe they’re related.

what?

[ out of all of the illegal shit he has done— ]

i should be arresting you for that, 2017’s Prince Charming.

[twostringsonebow]

Oh, she'll be excited to learn she has siblings, I think. She's an only child at the moment after all.

Come now, Akira, your dazzling smile beats me any day! There's nothing I wouldn't do to see it. Perhaps I should charge you for theft instead?

[maskreant]

[ HMMMMMmmmmmmmmm. ]

i’ve heard siblings can either be a blessing or a curse.

is this a “stole my heart” joke?

[twostringsonebow]

I sort of wish I had one, really. They seem fun.

I'm arresting you and your cat on charges of underwear theft.

[maskreant]

want to borrow Futaba?

i don’t need to steal underwear when i can ask you for them. Morrigan is a cat and our human norms and laws don’t apply to him.

[twostringsonebow]

No thank you.

And even if you ask, you shall not receive. That's gross.

[... He's here, he just also wants to Not have this conversation face to face.]

[maskreant]

[ Goro is a fool to think Akira is going to abandon this topic that his precious detests. By chance, he leaves the Velvet Room some time after the text, not giving it a reply. ]

Did you think I was asking for dirty underwear?

[ Slipping behind Goro, he also slips his fingers past the waistband to tug his boxers a bit. Yes, people are around, but that’s fine. ]

[twostringsonebow]

[He flushes slightly, hand grabbing Akira's with a small frown. Stop that...]

Pervert. In general, who wears another person's underwear? Maybe I simply haven't haven't had enough close guy friends, but I don't get it.

[... But it is so, so nice to see Akira, so he laces their fingers together anyway. Hello, boyfriend.]

[maskreant]

I’m a pervert?

[ Mister once in a while I’ll send you risqué photos in broad daylight and wonders how sexting would go? Hello. He flexes his fingers in the hold, tapping Goro’s knuckles with a gentle rhythm. ]

I’m sure you know the appeal to dirty underwear, but I’m guessing for clean ones it’s to have something they owned.

[ He scratches his head while pondering—it is just underwear to him. ]

[twostringsonebow]

[Pot and kettle, yes.]

I could just give you one of my shirts, then? Or a jacket. Would you like that?

[better than trading boxers]

[maskreant]

I already have those.

[ They exchanged quite a number of clothes at this point... He shifts their position so his arms are loosely wrapped around Goro's neck, imitating that of a baby koala.

He's laaazy. Please lead him. ]

And I'm not asking for your underwear. [ ... Hmmm. How should he turn this— ] But I'm asking you to trust me with your underwear.

[twostringsonebow]

[Koala.......... Fine, come on lazy bones. Food..? Pizza sounds delicious, but diet breaking... He just needs to be away from his roommates.]

Trust you with my underwear.

[Really.]

[maskreant]

[ He nuzzles into the nape of Goro's neck as they waddle around like silly ducklings, closing his eyes. ]

You wouldn't?

[ This is Important!! ]

[twostringsonebow]

[oh my god. don't do that. he's gonna melt.]

I... Well, it's not as if I don't trust you with it... I trust you with quite a bit, Akira, and if my underwear falls under that then it does.

[... He trusts him with quite a bit but not everything; this is something that needs to be addressed at some point, certainly, but not in the near future. A sigh.]

Yes, Akira. I would. Please take care of them for me, should they happen to fall into your hands.

[maskreant]

[ He's tired, so he's going to keep doing that. It's cozy here in Goro's space—he smells nice, his skin is soft, and his voice is lulling him into a place of solace. Idly, he brushes his lips against his neck once the aroma of pizza wafts over. ]

I'm glad... I wouldn't know what I would do.

[ Maybe wake up should be the first thing because he's grazing his teeth. ]

[twostringsonebow]

[A shiver runs down his spine at the first, and he jerks when teeth come out, hand coming over to push at Akira's face. Goro is red and doing his best to scowl, oh my god, he is not a pizza???]

Please don't tell me you're turning into a vampire.
