[lifeprice]

I felt something through our rings, and then nothing.
He's not responding to any of my messages.

[nutkick]

oh ...
do you think he took it off? the ring?

did you guys have a fight or something?

[lifeprice]

We didn't. Nothing strange happened. Can you message him?

[nutkick]

ok.

[ a few minutes later .... ]

still no answer.
what the hell is going on ...

[lifeprice]

[ A long pause before he replies, then - ]

Vash contacted me. He says Tsuru was pulled into a Rift.

[nutkick]

what do you mean by that ...
he's just gone?!

[lifeprice]

I can't feel him with my ring.
He's gone.

[So after Bakugou is Bakugone, Denji'll get a message. She’s doing it privately because...well, because she can. Which is also why the rest of the message is what it is.]

I don’t know if you’re talking to me but how is figuring it out with Hayakawa going?

Not well, I’d guess.

But not being able to save the people around you isn't anything new is it?

[nutkick]

[ seeing her name on the screen was enough to make his chest feel tight. a part of him wanted to delete it without acknowledging it. ignorance is bliss, you know? but, of course, he read it. ]

yup.
got a pretty shitty record in keeping people around me.

[ take it, makima. take the win. ]

can you actually help?

[kubricks]

[Hey, a win's a win so she'll take it.]

If I could would you want me to?

[nutkick]

yes.

[ he did not hesitate. yeah, he's that fucking desperate. ]

[kubricks]

That's good. I appreciate the honesty.

My help wouldn't come free though. But I'm sure you thought about that before answering.

[There may be some sarcasm there given the short quick response from Denji.]

[nutkick]

i know.

[ feeling like the biggest hypocrite on earth right now; especially after warning aki about her, only to end up asking for her help behind his back. but, you know what? denji had no shame. ]

don't ask for something too crazy, though.

[kubricks]

I don't think I have any asks at the moment that would be considered too crazy.

The current situation isn't ideal for that. We don't need further distractions and you aren't quite desperate enough to do anything I want. Yet.

[There was no need to include that last part and yet she did anyways.]

[nutkick]

[ not desperate enough? watch him dismiss that jab even when it hurts. ]

how about a normal deal, huh? in exchange for your help to find where they've been taken. like ... i could pay for a spa day for you. or, buy you a fancy dress?

i'm not asking for much. you're a lot smarter than me, and i could use your help.

[ he knows that's not the endgame between them, but is it really impossible for them to cooperate a bit? just once? maybe. ]

[kubricks]

[She'll make him wait a little for her answer. It's not necessary, she could've answered quickly enough, but she's enjoying this.]

That's acceptable.

I do have one additional condition to ask. I don't think you'll object to it.

[nutkick]

... what is it?

[ he's nervous regardless. ]

[kubricks]

[Oh, she's sure there's some apprehension there, but it really is a small ask.]

Watch my dog if something happens to me during this.

I don't think it will but I'd rather you take care of him than someone on my team.

[nutkick]

[ ... ]

... sure.
i can do that ...

[ not really what he expected. will that dog claw his face or something? who knows. ]
