Letter - backdated to 8/25

[fooligan]

[ Hope Toku is ready for a letter to magically appear near him in a bright blue envelope, with "Captain" written elegantly on the back in cursive. ]

Captain-san,
Did you know we could send letters to other people? 「(°ヘ°) This is my first one! So please send me one too so I know you got it and we can be pen pals! (´ヮ`)

I have nothing to do because of this storm...｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･! I'm super bored! What are you doing???

Letter; backdated to 8/25

[herositter]

[ He doesn't even need to guess who this letter is from.... His reply is not as pretty, with simple white envelope and just as simple writing of "HAMU" on the back. ]

hamu what's this for? what's the point in becoming pen pals when you live right above me?

i'm trying to sleep. go bother your roommates.

what's hamulan? stop calling me captain...

[fooligan]

Hamulan like Hua Mulan! (•̀o•́)ง [ Because she's a cross-dressing fightin' gal...Except Toku doesn't know that. ]

Having a pen pal is fun, don't you think? Sorry if I woke you up though... (|||❛︵❛.) All my roommates are out so I don't have anyone to talk to.

[ She could just leave her room but she's feeling lazy today. ]

[herositter]

is that like an anime character? there's a kid who likes anime too in my room

it's fine, it's impossible to sleep in this weather anyway. haven't you made more friends already?

[fooligan]

[ ooOOOHH he wrote "more friends" which means they're friends right, right?! Good thing no one is here to see her huge smile. ]

Maybe ( ・◇・)？ I was thinking of the movie.

I made a few!!! Everyone here is really nice (´‿`)! Except a few-

[ We both know who she's talking about... ]

but I followed your advice and now I have a friend who hangs out with me every day and cooks too! Do you have anyone like that?

[ Gotta make sure he's not lonely! ]

[herositter]

[ He obviously meant MORE...OTHER FRIENDS and not him. Calm down, Mafuyu, he's like 25 he doesn't do friends like teens do, pls. ]

"except a few"? you didn't get into any trouble did you?

yeah, kind of. [ BUT THEY'RE FIGHTING RIGHT NOW and forever, who knows, It's Complicated, but Hamu doesn't need to know.... ] well that's good then, isn't it? is your friend not around right now?

[fooligan]

No. I've been trouble free ever since the lantern!（°o°；） [ But then she adds a little face anyway. ]

Oh, good! Another friend once told me you could go mad if you're alone for too long, so maybe you should send them a letter too?

I don't know where my friend went, he works as a guard so I don't want to bother him at work. Did you know, guards get cool masks??

[herositter]

your drawing doesn't make you look so convincing, but sure, have you been working well?

yeah, that's a good idea, you could.

[ Which was then quickly erased and replaced with: ]

you mean me? I think he's doing fine anyway, so it's cool. wait, why are you giving me advices...

yes I know, I work as a guard too. what's his name? maybe I know him.

[fooligan]

Yes! I've been hard at work on the farm with my friend! We get to play with animals all day, but we also have to clean up poop and that's not fun. [ In case anyone wanted to know the gritty details of Hamu's work life, there you go. ]

I bet your friend would like a letter! Everyone likes getting mail. You gave me advice, so I gave you some advice! That's what friends do!

Also, you never told me you work as a guard!!! Is it fun? How do you like it? What mask do you have? I wanna see!

Oh, and my friend's name is Kagari. He has a hat and looks like a fuzzy orange (´ヮ`) I think he's shy though, so don't startle him if you see him. But tell him I said hi!

[herositter]

alright. but just as a suggestion, it's better that you don't bring poop into conversation the next time someone asks you about work.

[ Tact; this kid needs it desperately. ]

slow down with the question. i don't think we're supposed to tell others about our masks anyway. i'm used to do guards job, if only a little different than back at home. are you interested in this kind of job?

oh, the tender guy you're talking about before. it surprises me you have a friend like that as a guard [ Both in the "I can't believe you befriend someone shy!! And also; a shy guy as a guard?! Does he plan on getting eaten alive or what... ] sure, if i remember i will. anyway, we're not supposed to go out during this storm, so he must be somewhere inside

[fooligan]

[ Cleaning up poop is part of her work and Toku asked. She was simply answering his question, just in unnecessary detail. ]

Even with a mask on, I would be able to tell it's you! (●˙▿˙●) Where do you usually work? I'll keep an eye out for you! I'll give you words of encouragement! Go, go, Captain! ☆

[ She probably shouldn't mention she's thinking of becoming a guard to Toku of all people. She could already hear his lecturing... ]

I was just wondering what the other jobs here are like! Do you get into a lot of fights?

And don't worry about Riri! He knows how to fight too and he can set his hands on fire! I didn't know people could have powers like that, I'm jealous! I'd want super strength or maybe the ability to eat my weight in food but never get heavier.

[herositter]

can you really? i'm gonna make sure i won't run into you then.

[ What's that? A challenge? ]

what's with the question? do you want to try becoming a guard? and thankfully not much, mostly just troublesome spirits or humans here and there.

so he's one of the guys with superpowers? there's quite plenty of them here actually, i say it's kind of jarring even with all the spirits around us. it must be troublesome having powers like that...

[ No commento on her two clashing wish for power, how even.... ]

1/2

[fooligan]

CAPTAIN-SAN!!!
[ that's it. that's the note. ]

[fooligan]

[ Oh, wait. Here comes another one after a few minutes. There's a lack of silly illustrations (probably a good thing) and her typical, fanciful handwriting is replaced by messy, obviously quickly drawn words. ]

You have to help me! I did something really stupid and I think they're really angry at me!!

[herositter]

[ There's only one suspect who would send this note and he doesn't even need to TRY. ]

what did you do?

[ can u read the sigh ]

[fooligan]

I did something I wasn't supposed to do and then I ended up not doing something else I said I'd do!!! [ Was any of that supposed to make sense? ]

I know they're going to be really upset and I have to do something to make it better!

[herositter]

[ It makes sense because WOW, does that sound familiar or what. Probably 90% of people around him do exactly that. ]

is this with your guard friend? the delicate guy? you should apologize to him for starter. does he know about this yet?

what exactly did you do?

[fooligan]

He knows...I've been avoiding him because I feel so guilty and I know that just made it WORSE [ dis is serious, toku. ]

Forget about what I did! Just tell me how to get someone to forgive me! What do I get for a present?? [ She's also really embarrassed. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SAY WHAT HAPPENED. ]

[herositter]

alright, well at least it's good that you realize that.

[ Toku, you're not. You're not allowed to say that. ]

it's fine if you don't want to tell me what happened, but you know, a present won't magically fix everything.

[fooligan]

IT'S A START!!!

I don't know what else to do! PLEASE, CAPTAIN! TELL ME WHAT TO DO. Anything!

What if he's crying now?! He's so sensitive! I'm a horrible person! [ Her writing is becoming messier and more frantic because this is of the utmost urgency. ]

[herositter]

calm down, you're not going to get anywhere by panicking. ok you know you should apologize, but do you know what you're apologizing for?

and well, guess you can bring him a present but that's only an extra, not the main event

[fooligan]

I know what to say sorry for...but what if he's still crying? [ Apparently it's no longer in the realm of possibility that Kagari is crying, it's become reality...Gomen, Kagari. Wherever you are. ]

I'm good at apologizing, but I'm not good with presents! I want to show him I'm really really sorry and that it wont happen again.

[herositter]

then you comfort him until he calms down

[ Hamu's made a mistake asking Toku about this. ]

no. you're not good at apologizing if you're just going to repeat the same mistake. that's what apologizing means. to LEARN.

and i guess you can just give him something he likes [ idk dude ]

[fooligan]

[ Ah, if Hamu ever needed to be reassured that Toku is capable of giving mature sounding advice, this is it. Her reply takes a bit longer than the previous rushed notes. ]

You're right. You know, you're wiser than you look. [ zero tact. ]

I don't know what he likes, though! If I ask all of a sudden, wont it be obvious?

backdated to the 14th yo

[masayoshi]

Toku-san,

I said a lot of things to you that came out the wrong way, at the wrong time, too. I don't want you to be angry with me, but I know it's too late for that. I know that your girlfriend means a lot to you, whether you can see her right now or not, and it took me a long time to understand why. It's because you love her, right?! And if you stop, you're afraid you'll forget...or something like that? She's more important to you than anyone, right?

When I think of someone like that, the only person I can think of is you, Toku-san! I've never felt like that with anyone else. Love is something really powerful that keeps drawing you to a certain person, isn't it? Because of that, I think...maybe I could protect your heart for a while, Toku-san! If you'll let me. If you can forgive me first...

I'm running out of paper. Please forgive me, Toku-san! And if you can do that, I want to be your girlfriend!
