Finally, Bruna and Olivia approach the bed where their brother lies. You have Gisella in your arms like a little baby, she has her arms around your neck, head on your chest. She wanted a hug once you entered the room, and you ended up like this – the energetic little girl is downhearted to the max, no words have come out of her mouth since then.

“It was too nice of a day to be true... Figures.” Bruna nonchalantly jokes around to no effect. You shrug at her, trying to smile to acknowledge what she said. Bruna looks down to Howie once more. “He looks like he’s sleeping. He drools a lot, I don’t think the thing he has in his mouth is going to help a lot. Right, Olivia?”

“…” Olivia is just staring at her brother without saying a word.

“Like, I’m serious, I don’t want him to choke. Maybe he won’t choke, but surely he’s really uncomfortable right now. Like, the position he’s in right now isn’t going to do him any favors! That’s not a primer pillow position! The nurses here are a bunch of amateurs. When he wakes up he’s going to complain so much…” Bruna stares at her brother’s face.

“…I-I’m sorry.” Olivia sobs. “Y-You’re not that annoying, I don’t really want you gone. I’m sorry for calling my half-brother, I didn’t mean it — you’re my real brother! Please wake up, Howie…”

“Olivia…” Bruna is confounded by her sister’s words. “D-Don’t be silly, you don’t need to tell him that! He already knows we love him…” Bruna starts crying herself. “I think he does…”

You feel Gisella’s grasp getting tighter, she’s hurting as well, you start patting her head because that’s the only thing you feel like you’re good for at this moment. This almost makes you feel like it was a bad idea. Almost.

Out of the blue, Holly bursts inside the room, making everyone turn their heads to her. It looks like she composed herself, hooray! Aurora is behind her not looking much better than earlier. In a moment you’ll never truly forget, Gisella jumps out of your arms and immediately goes to her mom with Olivia and Bruna soon following. The whole Dewitt family hug each other, Holly consoling all her girls, including Aurora… She tells them that everything it’s going to be fine just like your mom always did.

You often don’t realize how much you still miss her.

You feel so out of place that it’s not even funny. Not like you know what to do now to leave the awkwardness behind aside from staring. Well, staring is not making it easy, but it’s such a private moment that you feel completely alien to it.

After this bleak but heartfelt moment, it was time for lunch. The family invited you to eat something with them, mainly Holly who was acting kind of pushy just because she wanted to return the favor, and it wasn’t much as an invitation as they dragged you with them – you ate at the Clinic’s cafeteria. You tried to pay the tab, but Holly was so offended by your gesture, she made you promise you won’t do it ever again. You also promised them you’ll serve them a nice meal one of these days back, which was something she was happy to accept.

With their tummies full and much more composed than before, the Dewitts decided to spend more time with the fallen son – yes, that includes Aurora. You spend a couple of hours with them, until it wasn’t awkward for you to leave them to enjoy a moment as a family, they need it too. You’ll have to call Aurora to incorporate her to the mission later, because despite all this emotional turmoil happening, she’s still ready to help you anyway.

That leaves you going down the stairs waiting to reunite with Scarlet, she should be waiting at the reception. It’s near 6 PM, and you still have time to prepare… What a day so far.

What do you do?

>Figure out what vehicle you’re going to use to transport everyone.
>Maybe there are a couple of people you still want to call just in case.
>Go back to the base and chill for an hour, you need a little break before the mission starts.
>Write In.

Votes:

Votes are counted until 25 minutes have passed. This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.
Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared!

>>4260866
>>Maybe there are a couple of people you still want to call just in case.

>>4260866

(NEW) Dice Mechanic:

We always roll 1d100s!
Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)!

When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked.

Rolling 100 is a critical and ignores all other rolls! In the same vein, rolling 1 means a critical failure (only for Very Hard rolls and above).

The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result!

Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight.

Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

You step inside the reception at long last, your favorite redheaded classmate immediately runs towards you!

She shouldn’t run inside a medical facility, right? But it was a short run so who cares? Maybe that’s the attitude that ended up causing bigger accidents. You can tell your mind is going to weird places just to not think about what just happened. You know it’s a bittersweet moment, more bitter than sweet – but you don’t want it to stick with you for the rest of the day or else it’s going to distract you when shit hits the fan.

“I can tell you had it rough. Here.” Scarlet smiles at you while she hands you something. It’s a frosty Donut! “I have lunch ready for you at the base.”

“Thanks…” You absentmindedly reply as you take the donut from her cold hands. “Here, something for you too.” You hand Scarlet the soda you bought earlier.

“You bought something for me? You didn’t have to! I was at a café, remember?” Scarlet sounds happy to receive it though. “Do you want to drink it instead?” She tries to hand it back, but you refuse it.

“I’m fine for now.” You bite the donut, too sugary for your taste. “Sorry for taking my sweet time.”

“I imagine it was tougher for you than it was for me.” Scarlet’s positivity is contagious enough to make you feel a lil’ better. “How are they?”

“Not great.”

“I imagine…” Scarlet looks a little bit down. “I’m sure having you there helped them out a lot.”

“I hope I helped them out even just a tiny bit…” It sure doesn’t feel like it now.

“I know you did.” Scarlet tries to cheer you up.

“Let’s go back to the base, Aurora won’t be able to join us until I call her for the mission – her family still needs her.” You think that it’s about time to move on.

“Sure! You sure need to relax too, mmm… I wonder how I can help you with that.” Scarlet is scheming something.

“No time for that, I still need to make some calls. I already ate anyway.” You have a name or two in mind. You two start walking away from the clinic and towards the base.

“Right! We were in the middle of that! But I thought Holly was the last call you intended to make.” Scarlet is pleasantly surprised.

“I never said that.” You don’t think you did anyway.

“Well, do you mind answering me some questions I have? With you being in such a rush during our calls, I didn’t get some things.” Scarlet admits.

“Sure.” You’re up for it.

And so, during your walk back to the base, you clarified most of Scarlet’s doubts and misinformation – which weren’t many if you’re honest. You’re back in the base! You drop near the kotatsu and take your phone out…

Who do you wanna call now?

>The Motley Crew for backup for your backup! Backup!

You’re going to call Ruby to ask her about the only part of Osgood’s legacy that is going to benefit you instead of being a notable detriment or something you need to fix. Well, it was a piece of junk, so maybe you’ll have to fix it too. Whatever, it can still be useful! Also, just to be clear, you are happy that you met Ruby and Ajna, but not happy to have had to fix their psychological issues… You guess Scarlet fits in this as well. Does Neko count? She had a thing for Osgood as well, right? She has much bigger issues than that though…

You’re getting way too into your rambles today, you need to focus. You dial Ruby’s number…

“Hello?” A very polite Ruby answers your call.

“Hey, it’s me. Do you have a minute?” You wanna get straight to the point.

“Johnny, you’re in luck! I’m on my break. Is there something you need?” Ruby is happy to help.

“Yeah, do you know what happened with the van?” You try not to mention Osgood if it’s not necessary.

“What van?” Ruby sounds confused.

“Osgood’s van.” You have no other option but to refer to it as such.

“That piece of junk…?” Ruby replies with disdain and disappointment. First time you’ve heard her talk this way.

“Ehm… Y-Yeah.” You were taken by surprise. “W-Why the hate?”

“That terrible friend of his, Sewel was it? He swindled Osgood with that muck. Sold it at like double the value without counting how many repairs he had to do to it. That con man, just remembering this makes my blood boil!” Ruby doesn’t sound any bit adorable when she’s mad. You didn't think someone rich would care that much about money, Osgood bought it before she lost contact with her family, if you recall correctly.

“That sucks…” You don’t imagine Sewel being the type of guy who would cheat a friend out of his money. He looks the part, but knowing him as well as you do, you don’t think it’s possible. Man, you’re really getting mean in your head today… Another ramble, focus! “D-Do you know where is it anyway?”

“Why do you want that horrible piece of rubbish?” Ruby is taking this way too seriously.

“I… need to move a group of people and it would help immensely.” You admit without being too specific.

“Listen to me, Johnny. That thing is going to stop working in the middle of the road like it always does, so I advise you to look for something else!” Ruby sounds really serious about this. Judging by her tone, you would think the van was the one that actually killed Osgood…

“I-I’ll take the gamble…”

“Hmph, I believe that awful man should still have it. I handed it to him before I…” Ruby was about to trail off to another story but stops immediately. “I-It should be at his workshop anyway! With the keys and all!” Now she sounds like the Ruby you know. “S-Sorry, Johnny! My break is over! I need to hang up! Bye!”

“That was abrupt…” You couldn’t even say good-bye...

“Huh, who did you call?” Scarlet hands you a soda.

“A friend, I’m trying to find out where Osgood’s van is. I got the info I wanted but…”

“You don’t know what to do now.” Scarlet pouts.

“Yeah, I need to make another call…” You don’t remember having Sewel’s number, but you know someone else who does! Craig! You call him up…

After catching up for a bit, you steer the conversation to Osgood’s van. Craig tells you to not worry, he’ll talk with Sewel about it – Sewel doesn’t hand his number to practically anyone for reasons that Craig isn’t sure of himself. You thank Craig for his help and await the news. Shortly after, you receive a call from your landlord.

“Kid, I have good and bad news…” Craig’s voice tells you this is more bad than good.

“Tell me the good news.” You want to remain optimistic.

“The van is yours for the takin’. Osgood told Sewel that if his girlfriend didn’t want the glorified family casket, you could have it.” Craig actually tells you great news!

“That’s nice! What’s the bad news then?” Things are finally starting to look up!

“He lent it to Conti for some school project of his...” Craig reveals. “You’ll have to talk to him. Conti won’t listen to me… Do you have his number?”

“I actually don’t…” And you don’t really want it.

“Haha! I get it, kid! But you’ll get something out of this! So listen carefully…” Craig tells you the number. You write it down. “Good luck, Johnny! See ya!”

“Thanks for everything, Craig. Bye…” You hang up.

>>4261445

“So good news?” Scarlet wonders.

“Yeah, the van is mine! Bad news, Conti has it.” You sigh.

“Conti? Our math teacher?” Scarlet is really confused.

“Yeah, our principal has my van... I’m going to call him.” You know that this is going to suck. You make the call…

After explaining to Mr. Conti how you got his number, promising him that you’re not going to reveal it to other students, and swear that you won’t prank him either, you were finally able to steer the conversation to the van…

“Osgood’s van? I’m afraid the solution to this problem will require another formula.” Conti forces his pun game so much that what he said made no actual sense.

“Where is it?” Why are people lending stuff they don’t belong to them!

“Well, you see, my son needed a large vehicle for some activity… So I handed him the piece of junk.” Conti replies semi-apologetically but with the tone that it isn’t really his fault.

“You have a son…?” You couldn’t hide the surprise. He must be adopted anyway.

“He’s an idiotic disappointment, but true to his word. Call him so you can arrange a meeting, I’ll tell him about you in a second. Before I deal with this... remember that we still haven’t settled our differences on the playing field.” Mr. Conti is still salty?! Bradford is dead! There is no championship to be won!

“O-Okay…? I don’t have the time for this. Just tell me his number…” You agree to get things moving.

Conti gives you his son, Frederick’s, number. You then hang up shortly after.

>>4261446

“Can you believe Mr. Conti has a son?” You tell Scarlet immediately.

“Mr. Conti? What the fuck?” Scarlet is in complete shock. Good! You’re not the only one!

“I’m not even joking.”

“That’s mathematically impossible!” Why is Scarlet throwing his type of puns?! You can’t take any more of this! “And something I didn’t want to know if I’m being honest…”

“If I know it, you should know it – we’re a team damn it!” You are firm in your beliefs. Scarlet only glares in response.

You think enough time has passed to make the call to Frederick…

“Hello?” That’s a rather young sounding voice. He sounds around your age…

“Hey, I’m Johnny, the owner of the van, your dad just talked to you about this, right?” You just want to get this over with.

“Oh my! Yes, you’re talking about my associate, he had an emergency just now. Apologies!” This guy has a pompous air about him. “Is the van what you seek? Before I tell you about it, I want to thank you! It served a great purpose, we used to do one of my favorite activities…” You don’t like the way he’s saying it.

“What’s your name?”

“Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Vender! As for your van, I have unfortunate news…” This douchebag doesn’t have it either?!

“Oh my god…” You’re already facepalming.

“I’m terribly sorry, but we lent it to a charity who is bringing supplies to the big city after the incidents. Any big vehicle would help, so we felt inclined to do good.” Maybe he isn’t that bad, but what the fuck?! These people are aware that the van belongs to someone else, right?!

“Wait, where are you?”

“Hamje.”

“Oh fuck… Where is the van…?”

“It should be somewhere in Pokyo Lokyo. I’ll give you the number of the charity worker who took it. Don’t sound so disappointed, you helped out a lot of people!” Vender tries to sound positive.

“Dude, you randomly lent something that doesn’t belong to you… Ugh, whatever. Just tell me the number.”

“A little stingy, aren’t we? Is helping people that annoying to you? You should take some of your time to do a little introspection.” Is he seriously lecturing you now?! “Anyhow, the number is as follows…” You write down another number… “Hope you have a nice day.”

“Yeah, shut up.” You hang up. You got a lil’ angry for no reason. His tone of voice just pissed you off. You received a call immediately after hanging up. “Huh…?” You answer it.

“Hey, pal! Don’t you ever hang up on—!” What’s wrong with this Vender guy?!

You then hang up again and block the number.

“Bad news?” Scarlet doesn’t look thrilled.

“Bad news…” How deep is this rabbit hole? “Have you ever wanted to punch a voice?”

“You have no ideaaa how many times!” Scarlet gets your bad vibrations. Well, for a long time, Scarlet wasn’t the nicest of people… You’ll choose not to think about that right now. “I don’t know what that says about me…”

“Eh, it’s whatever. Anyway, the show must go on…” You call the next number on the ever growing list. A charity worker, huh?

“Hello?” That’s a woman’s voice! She has some kind of accent or something…

“Is this Lau Krog’s number? The charity worker?” You ask just a little bit tired.

“Please state your name and how you found this number.” The woman replies in a threatening manner.

“Ugh… let me begin…” You half-assedly explain your turmoil.

“That’s a very unfortunate chain of events. I feel oddly touched.” The woman sounds more conciliatory now. “Let me explain, I'm a member of the police force, we’re trying to uncover a criminal network from within the police – and the number you just called belonged to a police officer who was part of it.” What did you just stumble into?!

“T-That’s bad, but you didn’t need to tell me about that.” Feels like something you shouldn’t know!

“I like being direct and honest with the common folk, that’s how you gather the trust of the community.” She explains. That’s really great of her, you think.

“Can you tell me what happened to the van?” Did you lose it?!

“It was requisitioned, but it should be in our possession still. Call the following number…” The nice lady gives you the number. You write it down. Again... “Tell them that object 80-512-DK belongs to you, I’ll send the request as well for them to confirm it. Your name is Johnny Ando, correct?”

“Yeah, but the vehicle is in a friend’s name…” You admit immediately.

“I’ll write it down on the request as well. Hopefully you get your van, sir. Goodbye”

“Thank you… Bye.” Well that was awkward. You let another sigh leave your body.

“What happened now?” Scarlet tilts her head.

“The police have it…” You don’t even know what’s going on at this point.

“What?! How?!”

You shrug in response. You call another number yet again. You tell the officer all the information that the nice lady told you to give.

“Sorry, kid. I have some bad news…” The police officer’s voice sounds veeery familiar.

“No fuckin way… Hold on. Roger? Roger Jackson?! I thought you retired!” You sure are surprised.

“Wait, Osgood…! Johnny! But of course, I’m so stupid!” Roger has a healthy laugh. “Damn, my age is getting to me.”

“It’s nice to hear from you, but wait, what happened to the van…?”

“Seems like someone used it to transport some shit to the homeless shelter, it should be there.” Roger explains. “I’ll give you a number, give them a call – and explain to them what the fuck. I’ll call them first though, you’ll have to give me a minute.”

“Right…” You know the deal… “Well, I’ll call you one of these days. I haven’t forgotten that you wanted to talk.”

“Take care, kid.” Roger hangs up.

As soon as you hang up you drop your face on the kotatsu.

“Scarlet, I want to kill myself.” You coherently explain.

“You need to make another call…?” Even Scarlet is bored at this point.

“Yeah…”

“There, there.” Scarlet pats you back.

“Time to get this done…” You pull your phone out for, hopefully, the last time…

You explain what’s going on to the poor soul behind the phone at the homeless shelter…

“Sorry, sire, but we don’t have it.” The poor man behind the phone explains.

“…You’re kidding, right?”

“At the shelter that is! We have it at a warehouse! Do you know where Tulipware Warehousing & Offices is?”

“……………”

“Sire, are you there?”

“Yes, I am. And I do know the place.” You try to sound gentle.

“Here is my number, once you get there, tell reception to call me – I’ll sort it all out for you. The keys should be in there as well. Have a nice day, mister.” You, once again, write down the number. Your hand is starting to hurt...

“Thank you, and sorry for bothering you.” Your right eye is twitching.

“No, no, no. We were the ones who took your kindness for granted, I imagine this was quite the hassle for you.”

“You really can’t, haha.” You’re not laughing.

“Hahaha! You’re funny, sire. Well, have a good day!” He hangs up. Well, you know what to do.

You hang up, put the phone on the kotatsu and take a deep breath.

“So?” Scarlet wants to know!

“I don’t want to talk about it.” You pierce Scarlet’s soul through her eyes with your stare.

“O-Oh…” Scarlet looks uncomfortable, but beats her own fears and starts rubbing your back again. “There, there… Don’t be so upset.”

“Thank you, I guess.” You start thinking about the positives instead. The van is here and it’s all yours. So that’s great!

…

You know Scarlet is trying to be supportive and all, but she has been rubbing your back for a while now, with both hands as well – is she enjoying it...?

“Ehem.” You clear your throat.

“W-What’s wrong?” Scarlet feigns ignorance as she moves away from you, cheeks tinted red. You raise an eyebrow but decide to ignore the issue altogether.

“I still have to keep going.” You pick up your phone again, you have yet another call to make.

“I know you don’t want to talk about it, but…” Scarlet has some questions.

“Oh, we have the van – don’t worry. This is for another business altogether. I’m calling someone else to help out.” You explain to Scarlet.

“Nice! Who do you have in mind now?”

“Richard, the detective at the clinic, I think you met him there – right?” Your memories about the other night at the clinic are still fuzzy.

“Yes, I did!” Scarlet enthusiastically responds. “Did you really forget or are you pulling my leg?”

“Of course I remember, silly.” You’ll pretend you’re cool.

“Good!” Scarlet believes you! What a good girl. You were starting to think she was going to act all skeptical for some reason.

“Well then…” You start dialing Richard’s number. Good thing you still have it from way back then! Oh, the memories of when you trespassed Neko’s apartment together and how shortly after your life went to the dumpster…

...

You put the speaker on for Scarlet to listen as well, since this feels more pertinent to the whole group. She notices your lazy signal, and sits next to you to listen attentively…

“Richard speaking.” Richard is probably the only man you know who doesn’t say hello.

“Hey there, I was wondering if you have a minute to talk.” You stoically respond.

“Johnny Ando?” Richard is taken by surprise. Why do all the people who you don’t like call you by your full name? It’s weird. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“I just said I want us to talk...” Weren’t you clear?

“M-My intention was for you to expatiate…” Richard sounds a little bit taken aback. You don’t know what expatiate means, so you’ll continue talking!

“You’re investigating the cult, right?” You get right into business.

“I believe that became awfully clear last time we met.” And this guy complains that you don’t follow the conversation cues… “Which reminds me, I still need to ask you some pending questions about the other day.”

>>4263053


“I’ll be happy to cooperate and all, but there are bigger fish to fry.”

“I’m listening.” Yet he doesn’t sound interested.

“I have a big plan to infiltrate the Cult’s base, I’m recruiting some people just in case and I was wondering if you were interested in helping out.”

“What’s the plan?” Richard now sounds like he’s paying attention.

“I want to infiltrate the Dark Church, take as much information as I can – and with all that figure out how to tear down the cult. I’m recruiting people for backup, just in case something goes wrong.” You explain.

“Go on.” Richard wants to hear more than that.

…

You need to throw a better pitch!

How do you respond?

>“That’s it for now...”
>“You’ll know more once you join us!”
>“You just need to stay outside and make sure nothing goes wrong, that’s it. The rest is up to me. You’ll get the information you need in exchange. Easy, right? How does that sound?”

>>4263057
>In summery, the main goals of the mission are to free the sex slaves and to find as much info on the cult as possible and use that to take it down. The plan is to get the group as close as possible to the base without being in direct danger, possibly disguised as normal cult members, in case anything bad happens. Then, I'll use my power to move stealthily through the base to find what we need.

“In summary, the main goals of the mission are to free the sex slaves and to find as much info on the cult as possible and use that to take it down.” You begin explaining in detail. “The plan is to get the group as close as possible to the base without being in direct danger, possibly disguised as normal cult members, in case anything bad happens. Then, I'll use my power to move stealthily through the base to find what we need. Ideally, you won't even need to do anything but that's optimistic and it's always smart to have a backup plan in case shit goes south.”

“I’ll take it that you know how to get in and out without our help, correct?” Richard asks back.

“I’ve successfully done something like this twice before, so I know what to do.” You think that’s all that matters here.

“Right. What’s the limit of our involvement?” Richard has more questions.

“What do you mean?”

“Hypothetically speaking: You get caught in the middle of their base, you let us know somehow – you would want us to storm in in that scenario, correct?”

“No, if I get captured like that, that’s on me. But believe me, that ain’t going to happen.” You firmly believe in yourself here.

“Right. Who else is in on this?”

“I gathered a team of flame users, if you wanna know more you’ll have to join.”

“Yes, we’ll discuss the details once we gather.” Is Richard really agreeing to join?

“You need to give me an answer now.” You want to push it out of him.

“I’ll be willing to help. To what capacity, we will see. But you’ll need to answer my questions once we get there, I think I can do much more than just watch.”

“Cool, get your stuff ready, because once I call you again – it’ll be clobbering time.” You’re hyping up this shit.

“Heh, right. I’ll be waiting then.” Richard sounds confident as well. “W-Wait, where are we meeting…?” That lost a little bit of coolness.

“I-I’ll tell you later, don’t worry about that. I’m planning on picking you guys up…” You don’t know who will drive the van though.

“R-Right. Ehem, I’ll be waiting then. Later.” Richard hangs up. Why does he pretend to be a cool guy?

You shake your head after that call. You honestly half expected him to turn you down, Nina was right, something has changed about Richard… Well, you’re acting like he wasn’t willing to help you out before, but he did join in on your shenanigans a couple of times before, right?

“You two don’t seem to like each other.” Scarlet notices.

“Huh? How can you tell?” You tilt your head like she always does.

“I think it’s something about the way you talk to each other. I mean, it’s different from the way you talked with Conti for example. I don’t know, maybe I’m just talking nonsense.” Scarlet shrugs as she deems her comment to be not important.

“Yeah, you are. That was rude, Scarlet. Very rude.” You shake your head.

“B-But you told me about what happened between you two, not in detail, but still! So maybe that made me think—” Scarlet defends herself.

“Very rude.” You look at your phone once again and go through your contact list.

“Are you planning on making another call?” Scarlet is really getting bored at this point.

“Yeah, I do. I need to take all safety measures.” You’re taking this seriously. Scarlet doesn’t seem bothered after hearing that.

“Who are you calling?” Scarlet is now interested.

“Ka-Shing, the multi-millionaire. I think he’ll be down to help if it means a whole faction is going down.” He is a businessman after all.

“Is he someone you can trust?” The supposed positive girl is not too optimistic about this.

“I trust he will help us out somehow.” He did try to take the Crystal Pieces from you that one time. But you left all that in the past.

“So not all that much, huh?” Scarlet looks unconvinced.

“At worst he says no and nothing happens. He has no ties with the cult, in fact, he’s against it.” For all you know anyway.

“Right, well, let’s see what comes of it.” Scarlet is willing to give it a go.

You respond with a nod, and then call Ka-Shing’s number. You’re a little bit worried about this month’s phone bill with the many calls you had to make…

“Ka-Shing speaking! Who’s this?” Ka-Shing is one cheerful man!

“It’s Johnny again, do you have a minute?” Time to make some business.

“A-ha! Joooohnny! How did things go with Neko? Did she cry? I don’t care if she screamed, she always screams.” Ka-Shing is in really good humor. Scarlet looks at you all dumbfounded after Ka-Shing’s comments.

“It was complicated, but I won the case! And of course, tears were spilled!” You’re going to pretend Scarlet is not here anymore.

“Tears flow when the money goes! Haha!” Ka-Shing sounds exuberant from the news. “So, what’s poppin’? Don’t tell me you want to hear my offer?”

“What offer?”

“Johnny, you need to keep tabs on the shit people tell ya! You could lose on a business opportunity if you don’t remain sharp!” Ka-Shing is far too relaxed. He said something about having to speak to you when you called him last time.

“No, I remember that, but I don’t recall you calling it an offer.” That’s what you recall at least.

“You know when it comes to me, every conversation is a future deal, baby!”

“Well, I have a deal prepared for you.” Time to sell your pitch.

“Hoho, what are you plannin’?” Ka-Shing gets serious.

“I’m planning on making a move on the cult, but I need help. I wanted to know if you’re interested.” You try to sound vague enough so that if he’s not up for it, he won’t know what’s going on.

>>4264675

“What’s in it for me?”

“If things go well, we might take the whole cult down.”

“Sounds perfect. What do you need?” That’s the tone of a man who’s willing to help you out!

“I need some muscle that can help us just in case.” You’re trying to have a reliable group of people who can fight if shit hits the fan.

“Muscle? You’re lucky, we didn’t go on the cruise trip I planned. Let me think…” Ka-Shing is in deep thought. “Errr… Sounds like you have someone in mind, right?”

“Of course I don’t.” You don’t remember everyone who works for Ka-Shing! You know about Flint and Charlie, but that’s it. “Also, a cruise?”

“Yeah, to keep morale up! But then I saw a Youtube video about how much they pollute the ocean, and I was like oh hell no. Bad business all around. We need to preserve the environment.”

“Aren’t we like the biggest country in the world that is run completely by renewable energy?” You certainly appreciate the gesture of keeping a clean world. That reminds you how much emphasis the school system puts on recycling.

“And we need to keep it that way, Johnny! Besides, I’m sure our delicious fish friends appreciate the gesture.” Ka-Shing wants a better world. “…Why the fuck are we talking about this again?”

“No idea.” Oh yeah, you were talking about recruiting some muscle. “And yeah, I don’t have anyone in mind.”
“I can send you one guy your way. I’ll pay him good money to stay obedient, but remember, money has no value if you’re dead – so don’t put them in stupid danger, I learned that recently.” Cancelling vacations? Putting your employees in danger? Ka-Shing sounds like an awful boss... “I’m pulling them out of their vacation time, so keep that in mind as well.”

“Why are they on vacation now?”

“Hey man, these were stressful days and I don’t like working with stressed people.” Ka-Shing has some common sense. You don’t know what to think about his practices anymore. “Besides the boys deserve it. I like hard working people, they’re nothing like me. Anyway, your muscle, no idea who to send – I’m not even sure what your plan is.”

“I’ll try to sneak inside their base, but what I really need is someone who is prepared to fight.” You half-assedly explain.

“I’m not feeling stingy, so I’ll give you a list…”

“You sure you want to tell me just like that?” He’s putting too much trust in you.

“It’s nothing. And who knows? Tomorrow they could change sides for all I know. I can tell the green is losing its luster for a lot of these guys; but for an easy job? I don’t think they’re going to decline.” Ka-Shing is really chill about this. Maybe he’s onto something, but it’s hard to tell.

>>4264822

“Before we dive into this, do you know Yung-P?”

“Of course I know her, I discovered her. She may have had a couple of millions of views on the web, but I was truly the one who launched her to stardom! She’s like a daughter to me.” Ka-Shing is obviously exaggerating. “You want autograph or somethin’? Maybe a date?” Ka-Shing is laughing, but you don’t think he should be…

How do you respond?

“I found out that she’s involved with the cult, you should be careful.” You feel inclined to tell him, he is helping you after all.

“You need to explain yourself.” Ka-Shing’s cheerfulness dies quickly as he almost sounds like a completely different human being.

“I went through the Cult’s actual files and her name is in there as one of its important members. Her videos are flame enhanced to make the viewers more compliant to the cult, I have no idea how her flame works, but I have proof.” You won’t hide the truth. She even says her full name on camera and everything.

“You’re telling me that my Carol is working for the cult? That sounds made up.” Ka-Shing is in denial.

“She has a blue flame and all. I don’t know how you can check, but that’s what I found out.” You won’t back down.

“This is a serious accusation, Johnny.”

“I understand. I’m not taking this lightly.”

“A man’s word is all he has in this cold world.” Ka-Shing said that once before. “You have no reason to lie, so if you change your mind now – I’ll forgive you this once.”

“I reiterate, I’m not taking this lightly. I implore you to check yourself if my word isn’t good enough for you.”


A deafening silence comes from the phone. You almost thought Ka-Shing hung up.


“…DAMN IT!” Ka-Shing sounds furious. It sounds like he just broke something… “Fuckin’ everyone is plotting against me now!” You hear him say a good distance from the phone.

“A-Are you okay?” You’re a little bit worried.

“I’m GREAT!” Ka-Shing sarcastically shouts. “Listen, I’m going to confront Carol tonight. Which means I need my entourage with me, so I can’t help ya. But if what you say is true, JUNG-P is going to be busy dealing with me instead – so that should work in your favor, right?”

“Yes, it’s going to.”

“You know me, I don’t like threatening people – I prefer not having enemies. The worst that’s gonna happen is no more business together. But if Carol is really part of the cult, that… that will mean something for you, something good. You hear me?”

“Crystal clear.”

“Wooooo! God damn it! I’ll talk to you later, for god’s sa—!” Ka-Shing hangs up the phone.

The partner you were ignoring this whole time is looking at you in disbelief, you would know why exactly if you, well, didn’t ignore her!

“You aren’t lying. So maybe this is going to be good for us?” Scarlet looks at the positive side as always.

“But I wanted some help…” You look down at the phone, maybe it was a mistake in the short run…

“Whatever… I need a break.” After being on the phone for a good chunk of the day, you put it away inside your pocket. What a day…

“So you wanna chill for a bit?” Scarlet tilts her head, a little bit enthusiastic about this break.

“I’m already on it.” You get further inside the Kotatsu. You can’t relax too much with the pending mission on the horizon.

“Wanna eat the meal I bought for you?” Scarlet proposes.

“No.” You’re not hungry.

“Good, ‘cause we don’t have a microwave anyway. I should look into that.” Scarlet didn’t realize until now. You don’t like microwaved food but it does the job. “Do you even want this food?”

“Not really.” You don’t know what it is or care enough to find out.

“Aww, I bought it for you…” Scarlet looks disappointed. “It wasn’t cheap either.”

“And you’ll get to enjoy it.” You’re sure she will like it more than you. You don’t want to talk about cash with all the money you lost with the taxi.

“Meh…” Scarlet didn’t like that response either. “Forget it, it’s not important!” Scarlet cheers herself up by ignoring her troubles. “Okay, Johnny, you want to relax, right? Then let’s relax!”

“Cool…” You’re already way into that.

“Wanna do something in particular?” As of now, Scarlet is at a higher frequency than you! Maybe you need to fix that.

“Yeah, I wanna cuddle together.” You open some space, inviting Scarlet to sit next to you in the Kotatsu.

“Huh?” Scarlet doesn’t know where this is coming from. “Cuddle how? I don’t follow.” She’s usually sharper than this.

“C’mere, before the heat goes away.” You start tapping the spot right next to you.

“S-Sure!” Scarlet snaps out from whatever confusion state she was in, and happily prances to your side. She smiles from ear to ear as she delves inside the Kotatsu, no sign of nervousness. There are a couple of inches between you two though. “It’s really warm in here!”

“I know, it’s pretty great! I didn’t think you would actually get one of these for me. You’re awesome.” You never told her how much you appreciate it.

“It’s nothing. I hope we can get some mileage from it.” Scarlet seems pleased to get the recognition.

“For that to happen we should actually cuddle, you know?” You put your arm around Scarlet and pull her gently towards you. “Like this...”

“J-Johnny…” Scarlet lets herself get carried away by your hands.

“You’re so cold. Why didn’t you tell me?” You ask as you start resting your head on hers, just like at your movie date.

“Am I? I-I didn’t feel like I was.” Scarlet is happy to be on the receiving end of whatever this is. Scarlet musters the courage to reciprocate and wraps her arms around you. Then she rests her head closer to your chest “You’re so wawm.” Her signature lisp made an appearance at the end there.

“See? This is more like it.” You’re like her teddy bear.

“I totally get it now…” Scarlet’s body is feeling the comfiness. In fact, she’s getting a little too comfortable, her hands are just moving around your back like they own the place. “I could stay like this all day.”

“Yeah…” You think she smells nice. What a stupid thing to think, maybe you should say it…

“Wait, I shouldn’t cuddle onto you, you should cuddle onto me! You’re the one who should be relaxing here!” Scarlet realizes without making a real fuss about it.

This is a wholesome moment between you two…

“Okay, let’s see what my Scarlet Pillow can do.” You accept her proposal!

“S-Scarlet pillow? Just come over…” Scarlet pouts at your assessment.


Scarlet slowly spaces herself from you, then pulls you back to her. Now you’re resting your body onto hers like planned. She’s one comfy pillow if you do say so yourself.


“H-How is it?” Scarlet is acting a little shy.

“You’re soft…” You’re enjoying yourself, you close your eyes. “This is great…” You’re relaxing as much as god intended.

“C-Can I ask you s-something weird…?” Scarlet is all kinds of fidgety.

“I suppose…” Not the best time to do this when you’re cuddling, but you’ll humor her.

“Can I… scratch your head…?” Scarlet asks politely. “I-I always wanted to play with that scruffy hair...”

“You’re right, that is weird…” You can’t keep quiet. Who just randomly decides to touch people’s heads?

“S-Sowwy!” Scarlet lets her lisp go wild as she mistakenly wraps you tighter! You feel her soft spots…

“I-I’m not really complaining, it was a joke!” You don’t want to ruin the mood despite already feeling a lil’ jittery yourself! You’ve noticed that Scarlet has a hard time noticing your sarcasm when she’s nervous. You’ll keep that in mind for future bullying tactics.

“I-I figured…” Scarlet lies shamelessly. “I’m glad you’re enjoying this way too much!”

“Me? Pfft…” You pretend otherwise because that’s the cool thing to do.

“I can tell, y’know?” Scarlet pouts, she’s so cute when she does that. “Besides, who wouldn’t enjoy cuddling with a positive girl like me?” What does positivity have to do with cuddling?

“I’m not going to hide the fact you’re a nice pillow.”

“I love cuddling with you too, Johnny.” Scarlet starts scratching your head in clear defiance of your inexistent authority!


You two continue getting real comfortable with each other, her warmth plus the kotatsu is making one heck of a duo. You really wouldn’t mind staying like this for a couple of hours… Slowly, the cuddling-on-Scarlet stuff turns around, and you end up laying next to each other like a normal couple would. This is a completely wholesome experience, or well,it would if Scarlet didn’t let her hands move around more than a little too much… She wasn’t subtle in the slightest!

…

“I’m glad you’re finally relaxing, like for real…” Scarlet blurts out for some reason. “I have no doubts now that I’m helping.”

“W-What do you mean?” That came out of nowhere. You’re cuddling, of course you’re relaxed!

“You don’t need to remember right now. Just chill…” Scarlet is being confusing as she pats you on the back again. Whatever makes her feel better…

>>4266579


You feel like you’ve been cuddling for hours! It hasn’t even been that long in all honesty. The only thing for sure is that you’ve been doing a great job at whatever this is supposed to accomplish!

“You know, I thought you would be more nervous doing this.” Time to do some good ol’ teasing.

“Well, I thought you would be more confident, but here we are.” Scarlet fires back no problem.

“Woah, what makes you think I’m nervous?” You raise an eyebrow.

“You’re trembling and it’s not from the cold, see? We’re very warm!” Scarlet grabs your arm, you feel nothing different. “I think we’re both so nervous we’re canceling out each other…” Scarlet explains her absurd theory.

“Well, I’m not.” You think she’s imagining things. “Wait, are you trying to tell me that you actually are nervous, is that it?”

“That would be a complicated way to do it…” Scarlet is not joking.

“But you don’t deny it.” You think you’re getting this.

“Yeah, I’m a little tense, okay?” Scarlet relents.

“Tense? While we cuddle? That’s upsetting…” You sarcastically respond. You found an opening.

“T-That’s not my point!” Scarlet bites the bait. Hook, line, and sinker!

“You know why people cuddle, Scarlet?” You’re on the offensive. “Too slow! To stop being tense! That’s the complete opposite of what you’re doing, Scarlet!”

“I know! I’m not stupid!” Scarlet lowered her defense too much.

“You just can’t handle me? That’s adorable…” You respond in jest.

“Call me adorable all you want, I’m not stopping you.” Scarlet recovered some ground! Damn it!

“Not like you can, my adorable pillow!” You pull your glasses up and then rub your face against her body!

“Y-You’re ticklin’ me, haAhaha!” Scarlet tries to move away, but it’s already too late! You have her trapped!

“You’re my pillow, you’re not supposed to move!” You’ll continue teasing her!

“S-Stop callin’ me that! I’m not a pillow! HahHA!” Scarlet is having fun as she continues to struggle against your barrage.

“Whatever you say, Bubble Butt!” You go for another home run!

“Ha… D-Don’t call me that either!” Scarlet is giggling all over the place.

“But would calling you adorable be better? Don’t think I haven’t noticed how embarrassed you get every time I utter that word!” You’re going for full-on tickling now. Cuddling be damned!

“Stoooop! Stop! HAhaHA! Please!” Scarlet admits defeat. You die down the tickling…

“In the end, you couldn’t handle it.” You proudly proclaim as you completely forgot what the point of this whole conversation was. You put down your glasses to be able to see again and notice Scarlet in a… uhm… particular position… "O-Oh..."

Scarlet is laying down on the ground, arms covering her face and legs spread out for you to take all in. Pair that with her flushed face and heavy breathing, and it looks like you two just got done doing… certain activities.

“If you call me adowable one mowe time…” Scarlet is breathing heavily as her lisp is in full effect, she didn't even hear what you said…

“What are you going to do about it, adorable?” You smugly adjust your glasses to mock the redhead once again.

“What am I going to do about it…?” Scarlet ponders as she starts regaining her composure. “I’ll tell you what I’m going to do about it…”

“I’m all ears, cutie patootie.” You put your hand next to your ear.

“This is what I’m going to do about it, you god damn dowk!” Scarlet expertly kip ups like she was some kind of gymnast. (Warning: From this point on, Johnny is greatly overexaggerating Scarlet’s abilities for comedic effect.)

“Huh?!” You’re caught off guard!

“Look out, Johnny!” Not even Philonune saw it on coming!

You stand up and try to go for the door! But it’s too late already and Scarlet pounces on your back, wrapping her legs around your waist, causing you to lose balance and fall back down to the ground unscathed! Savagely, she then starts ruffling your hair like no tomorrow! Somehow without setting off your glasses! What’s going on?!

“Yeah, my butt might be a little big! Maybe I’m soft as a pillow! And suwe I’m cute and adowable! But I’ve had enough fwom you, dowk! I need to teach you a lesson!” Scarlet continues her assault!

“C-Calm down!” So this is her countermeasure against the tickling?!

“No! I’m going to humble the biggest, most adowable dowk here! You’we the one who’s adowable! You’we the most adowable man I’ve ever seen!” Scarlet won’t be denied! Her lisp is out of control! (From this point on, imagine Scarlet’s lisp is permanent unless said otherwise. I’ll keep the “Dowk”, though.)

“M-Me?!” You don’t know what she’s talking about! You’re street cool! You’re dope! You are most certainly not adorable!

“Yes, you! Dowk!” Scarlet is having fun with this. “Your adorably sloppy haircut! You adjusting your glasses like a nerd every time you try to be funny! Your corny insults! Your moments of awkwardness that you try to hide! Your I’m not going to leave anyone behind attitude! You even accepted to wear my super cool mask! You’re a gigantic, adorable, dumb, idiot, Johnny Ando!”

You were standing in such a bad position that you ended up dropping on the ground, and with Scarlet magically ending up on top of you, face-to-face – both of you staring right at each other. After a little pause, Scarlet says something you’ll never forget:

“Dowk!” Scarlet sentences.

...

Okay, maybe you will forget it...
