[ Ritsu just sends back a picture - ignore the key chain. It's on a shelf with some half-glimpsed other figures, like a generic anime ballerina girl, a power rangers knockoff in a pink and purple suit riding a mecha horse, and a melty looking superhero with an orange cape and a rocking triangle bod who wields a construction drill. But the robot made him think of Shigeo... ]
[he does not do the emoji thing but he has taken to sending pictures of the batcats that live on their roof. so ritsu gets a picture of a puffed up little black cat in a big yawn, tiny bat wings unfurled.]
[ time passes: he brings home cheese curry, and gives Shigeo the robot too. he's often out and about, socializing, and Mob has a job so the text chain keeps them in touch, just stuff like "home soon" and "kimchi?". ]
[mob constantly tries to give him money, if allowed- well, here it's more bloodstones and shards of blood stones, or whatever useful thing to barter. just left at ritsu's room, regardless of if he thinks ritsu will accept or not.
he's going for a run at the moment, wheezing his way down one of the streets. stopping to check his messages and blinking when he sees it, leaning against one of the crumbling walls nearby.]
the ones that link people? i saw people talking about that too
i just don't want to put you in any trouble before knowing it's okay
[or maybe he can't stomach the idea of hurting ritsu again, though it's buried deep enough he's not even particularly aware. sometimes your powers/emotions are so jumbled and tied to sibling related trauma it's impossible to untangle it.]

our emotions are linked to our powers. i'm not sure how safe it would be because of that

i guess it's just emotions are kind of complicated when you're a psychic, aren't they?

how's work?
no subject
it's okay, i don't really like the bartering part
but most people aren't pushy about it
i think because miss jinx is pretty intense
