Of course I remembered. Our birthdays might not quite line up with the calendar back home, but there's no reason we shouldn't still celebrate them.

Are you planning to gather everyone? If you have arrangements already, please let me know.

[skulleon]

[ ??? ]

Was i supposed to???

Ah, shit!!! I was supposed to!!! I fuckin' blew it!!!!!!

[wantsnudes]

You didn't blow anything, please calm down.

I could send a message to the others to meet somewhere in the city. Or we could come to your place, if it's not too much trouble.

[skulleon]

Wow!! You can't tell me what to do anymore!!

You wanna get uhhh
fuckin' wrecked!!? I know how strong you are now !!

[ well, that was nice while it lasted...and here ryuji thought someone was set to spring a surprise on him, too. ]

[wantsnudes]

I beg your pardon?

[Is this a threat or a proposition, he genuinely can't tell.]

[skulleon]

You got eyes in your head!! Don't you!?

You want an asskicking or what !!

[ no, it's...not a proposition. the hesitant ryuji of a few days ago is gone, and he's running on a hair trigger now. ]

[wantsnudes]

How churlish. No.

[skulleon]

!!!

[ of course, that's a free invite for his voice feed to cut in if there ever was. ]

BASTARD! I'M GONNA CHURL THE HELL OUTTA YOU!

[ this is going downhill fast... ]

[wantsnudes]

[Hmm... Dislike. Yusuke puts the audio on mute and carries on typing.]

If Sanguis or the leftover effects of the runes have you irate today, we could defer the celebrations until tomorrow.
If I have said or done something to offend you, I apologise.

[skulleon]

[ oh...for some reason it's the apology that does him in. after a full minute of roaring into his device, of course, but still. ]

Whoa, shit
my bad, I dunno what to do when I'm like this...

[ which feels worse? ryuji's guilt, or the fact he can't feed this back into a mental loop anymore? he can't say. ]

[wantsnudes]

I'm not overly familiar with Sanguis myself, but before when you and Ren fought, it seemed it was our connection that calmed you down.
Perhaps moonlacing with someone could achieve similar results.

[skulleon]

Well, yeah! I was hurtin' you!!
I don't wanna hurt anybody on purpose!! Don't y

[ the message sends abruptly. probably because ryuji's flung the communicator aside, realizing his mistake before it crops up again. this is ridiculous...it wasn't this bad when the season began, but it seems to be getting worse and worse over time. ]

Is it! I didn't think I'd be doing this shit again for like,
ever!! This is all messed up !!

[ yusuke's not wrong, though. now there are new urges underneath his already-violent tendencies, and ryuji doesn't know what to do. especially not a day he was supposed to be celebrating on. ]

[wantsnudes]

Even just holding someone's hand should help. There's no need for anything as extreme as before.
May I come over?

[He does at least have experience in dealing with Ryuji's temper by now, and his Persona can match up to Ryuji's strength if he somehow does get violent. It seems like a safe bet.]

[skulleon]

I!!
Dunno......

[ haven't they broached this once before? after everything they've done, it somehow doesn't feel right to encroach about yusuke like that, even if it's just...his hand...

not to mention the double-edged fear and craving of blood. the lowlifes in the lower levels of the city are one thing, ryuji won't see them ever again. but if he actually raises his hand at someone he knows, despite all his posturing... ]

[wantsnudes]

Please sit tight, and don't go anywhere. I'll be there as soon as I'm able.

[Even without the added complication of last week, Ryuji is his friend. He won't abandon him to struggle and lash out on his own without trying to help.]

[skulleon]

It's good!! I'm good, damn it!!

[ wow, okay, maybe if he actually gets dressed, and flings himself out the window now, ryuji'll be long gone before anyone arrives.

plus, being home alone means there won't be anyone to let yusuke in! it's the perfect crime! ]

[wantsnudes]

Is it really so bothersome for me to help you?

[Yusuke's just going to get ready and set off anyway, ignoring all that protesting.]

[skulleon]

I don't need it!!

What's that saying,
it's my party, I'll fight if I want to!!

[ there's no party. it's just ryuji, in his trashed-up bedroom, all alone. he's had worse birthdays to date, but this still ranks fairly low among them. ]

[wantsnudes]

That's not a saying.

[But if he can distract Ryuji while he travels there, maybe it'll stop him running off and picking fights elsewhere.]

[skulleon]

I made it up! Pretty impressive, huh!

[wantsnudes]

[uhhh]

Yes, very much so.

HEY!

Are you lyin' to me! I can't tell when you lie anymore!!

[wantsnudes]

Why would I ever lie about something like that?
