FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org Though... Kouha was on the transfer list, too. [which in itself was something, wasn't it.] You've got to wonder what they need all those people for.
[The sting of Kouha's transfer still hasn't settled, yet. Guy thinks on his answer for a second.]
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
Maybe they need the backup, just like we did with that sky monster. [Not counting the fact that those new recruits would up and vanish soon after things had settled down, of course. These transfers seemed more of the permanent sort.]
[Hinata's right about that. It's why he's sorely tempted to send a message himself, despite knowing he'll never receive an answer.
It's no different from back home, no different from chasing after ghosts. It's all a futile endeavor. But he wants to try. For Kouha, for Mitsuru, for Luke and all his friends. He promised to.]

Well, it's hard to find a peace of mind in a place like this.
[that's true. it's a nice thought, when one wasn't busy being bitter-- and it's difficult to be bitter in the face of Guy's easy assurance, even over text.]
[that's true, it would be something.]

Not really... But we can try our best
Wait, which Parker? The girl??
no subject
Yeah, I'm sure it'll come out just fine.
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
And I forgot we had three of them running around, yeesh.
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
Yup. That's the one. The tough cookie. You ever meet her?
no subject
Two of them being kind of the same person, too, it's weird
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
But yea!!! She's my leader
Is she a speed demon driver? Has she ran into any trees? Youve got to give me the scope, Guy!
no subject
Why are all your examples negative ones?
[ok no but]
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
I'm sure no one can match her, that's for sure. When she gets going, she really gets going.

Why didn't you deny anything I asked?

That's intense... She drives like she lives, I'd thought so

Speaking of rovers, hows your new roommates going?
no subject
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
Hey, don't go assuming things!
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
It's... actually just me and Parker. Half our rover's gone or demoted.
no subject
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Oh, huh. Who was demoted?
no subject
Juuzou. Strange kid. He's had to move out because he got bumped to grey.
[It's unfortunate, to be honest. Despite how weird he viewed Juuzou, he liked him well enough.]
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
It's no big deal. Nothing's stopping him from visiting, and the rover's a lot roomier now.
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
How about you, though?
[casual deflection is a go]
no subject
I'd imagine... The other one's a transfer?
[he isn't even sure he should ask that. and please, Guy, the exchange is called a conversation -- but it'd always turn back.]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Nothing new in my rover. Came with 4 and stuck with 4
Well, 5. One of my roommates has a chicken rideable chicken. It's pretty friendly!
no subject
Yup. He was on the list. Dirk Strider.
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
A chicken? Shouldn't that go for rations?
[He's joking!!!! Sorta.]
slaps that weird repetition to death in previous tag
Hope would kill us before we could kill the chicken, I'm pretty sure!

Though... Kouha was on the transfer list, too. [which in itself was something, wasn't it.] You've got to wonder what they need all those people for.
too late it's engraved in there for centuries
So the chicken's off-limits. That's a shame.

He's a skilled guy

The type that'd make for a good addition anywhere

Do you miss him?
no subject
Of course
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Don't you?
no subject
Like you said: he can take care of himself.
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
I'm a little worried, but... he'd probably tease both of us for it if he knew.
no subject
Definitely
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
He'd probably hit us with pillows, flip his hair and say HMPH we shouldn't worry about it, he's plenty strong!!
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
You know?
no subject
Heh, you got that right. So let's do our best until we see him again.
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
We'll be able to brag to him all the stuff he's missed out on when we do.
no subject
I doubt we'll see him again
[... but,]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Could send a letter, though

You think we'd get a response?
no subject
No
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
They don't even guarantee the message reaches the person
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Isn't that great? All this technology and they refuse to deliver a message
ok no real tags now
Have you ever sent any messages, Hinata?
way to be rational, guy
I knew a few people who have
It's more about the personal closure, I guess
rational is his middle name
