So if a handsome guy calls you his partner and holds your hand and says he wants to be strong for you and then you're suddenly filled with this weird but super nice warm powerful feeling.. does that mean you're dating??

THIS IS THE EMERGENCY TEXT SYSTEM I NEED ANSWERS PLEASE

[kokuyoyo]

[Wow, this is sure a message to get while he's pressing the side of his face against the ground and trying to barter with a cat inside of Hakkai's room, which is getting increasingly messier... But hey, it's better than what he's been doing. Chikusa actually does respond.]

u need 2 go on a date first b4 u can say ur dating

confess whiel on date to get on same page

done

[reloves]

[ Chikusa, your life choices.. You should count yourself lucky Minako doesn't know of your situation or she would've come over there three times over to make you at least have some fun over there. ]

But what if I can't go on a date with him right now.

[kokuyoyo]

[listen, he's doing other things! like reading about DnD. And writing. And trying to ignore the DJing system he's inherited.]

why

[reloves]

[ And not getting enough fresh air!! ]

Because I'm dead. And he's.. alive? I think? I hope? [ It feels kind of weird to hope that about someone you don't know anything about, but still. ]

[kokuyoyo]

[Huh.]

he's a god?? or on the near shore?

[reloves]

He's from back when I was alive.. I got a memory of him this morning.

[kokuyoyo]

[Oh. Oh.]

[Chikusa rouses a little bit more.]

what do you remember?

[reloves]

I was falling off some sort of tower.. Except that mysterious guy held onto my hand so I wouldn't fall. And he told me the reason I couldn't transform was because he wasn't strong enough as my partner.

[ It's a little more seriously than usual, hence the lack of Minako's usual exclamation marks. ]

And I felt this incredibly strong connection to him afterwards. I recognized him in the memory, but I have no idea who he is with only that one memory to go on.

[kokuyoyo]

[Hm. Chikusa takes a bit of time on this, going over what she's told him. There's a couple of things that are weird here- "transform", what, does he know another blonde that can become an animal?- but otherwise he gets it.]

[Best to get some clarification.]

i think you should wait on deciding on if you dated him. a single memory isn't a lot to go on. there are a lot of singular memories i have with ken that would have given me a completely different view of him if that was all i had remembered

what did the connection feel like?

[reloves]

[ Excuse you, Chikusa, what do you mean!! Minako is pretty sure you and Ken are just adorable 24/7!!

She's too serious right now to voice that thought though.. for now. ]

I don't know, it feels kind of hard to describe.. I don't think I've ever felt anything like it before. It felt like we were super connected, almost to the point that he was a part of me.

[kokuyoyo]

i can only speak for me

but that's not how it is for me and ken

that sounds more like what it is for me and hakkai

[You know, his god.]

i'd wait to see if i gained more memories, if i were you. me and ken remembered everything about each other at the same time, so i knew we were destined to be together. if you're only getting that one memory, it might be trying to tell you something in particular, if these things mean anything in particular at all.

think over it carefully and don't get bedazzled.

[...Surprisingly sensible advice coming from a shitteen with codependent tendencies.]

[reloves]

I'm not getting bedazzled! I'm just saying! [○･｀Д´･○] [ It's much harder to tell the difference when you're always overinvested in every single relationship you have with anyone, okay!! Even though the one in the memory still felt extra special.

Also, yes, she's being pouty. Hence the emoji. ]

I just thought it was a possible explanation for why I started crying when someone here confessed their feelings for me before. It was bothering me since I didn't know why. But it could be something else too.

[kokuyoyo]

why did you start crying

[that's sure a weird reaction in his opinion. Although maybe one of the shoujo has something on it...]

[reloves]

I know it sounds weird, but I really have no idea. I just..

[ She does send that part of the message, but then it just shows her typing and stopping for a few moments. ]

I felt so sad. I didn't know why, and I figured it must have something to do with the memories I lost, so I didn't want to try and find out since we're not supposed to. But I couldn't stop the feeling back then, so I ended up crying before I realised it.

[kokuyoyo]

weird

[Yeah, that's all he has to say about that. Eloquent, he knows.]

what did you feel for the guy in your memory

[reloves]

[ At least that kind of reaction isn't really unexpected coming from Chikusa.. ]

I don't know. It's hard to tell, since the memory was so short.. I mostly felt happy to see him, and somehow relieved. But it wasn't long enough to say whether what I was feeling was romantic or not. I just have the feeling he was definitely important to me, one way or another.

[kokuyoyo]

[hm]

wait for another memory. it could mean too much. figure out how it applies to your current life. that's the safest bet.

[reloves]

How often do these memories come though? This is the first thing I've ever remembered, and I've been here since December.

[kokuyoyo]

who knows

[HELPFUL]

it seems different for everyone. it took around four months for me and ken to remember each other

[reloves]

You and Ken are so lucky.. You really must've been destined to be together.

[ Which is a cool and good thing, and she supports it!! So much!! But thinking a little too much about it kind of bums her out too. ]

[kokuyoyo]

i know

[ c h i k u s a ]

[After a second, he seems to scrounge up some vague amount of tact and replies again a moment later.]

anyway like i said the memory might apply to someone else in your life. is there anyone you actually want to date that's here in the far shore?

[reloves]

That's.. kind of a complicated question?

[ And that answer even comes after a few moments of thinking. Mostly thinking on whether she should be honest for this one or not, but she decides she at least trusts her shitteen friend Chikusa enough to be frank. ]

I mean, in theory I'd be all for dating a lot of people I know. But I don't think I really want to date in general while I'm not sure what's up with me.

[kokuyoyo]

[With how open Minako usually comes off as, Chikusa doesn't even realize he's been trusted so. For... the best? He wouldn't know what to do with the knowledge anyway.]

that's fine

i didn't start dating ken until i remembered him anyway

so do you know what roleplaying is

[....Chikusa don't just swerve the conversation like that.]

[reloves]

Roleplaying?

[ It's hard to tell whether she doesn't know or is just extremely confused by this sudden swerve. ]
