NOTES: a continuation of this thread

[Toki doesn't know what happened, but there's a weird guy in a red costume, and a talking bear. He doesn't recognize Gongenzaka's voice, because he doesn't pick on those things.]

Am I dead?

[Because that would make this make sense.]

[Toki is going with his original idea on the roof, then.]

Can't we use the phone charm!?

[He asks Yuya, then looks back at Kano.]

I know it's small, but you don't actually have a physical body to fit inside it! IT'S JUST TEMPORARY UNTIL I CAN FIND YOU A MORE SUITABLE VESSEL, GREAT KOKKURI-SAN~!

[He is too preoccupied with this to go do anything useful.]

[suddenlybees]

[ No, Toki, you're doing great, bud.

The phone charm... Kano has to twist his body around to reach into his pocket with his good arm, root around and-

ah, here it is. It's, uh. head's snapped off, but the rest of it looks more or less in tact.

He points at Toki ] Hold onto that promise or I'll curse you, child. [ ... ] But if you get a nurse I'll spare you. [ This is said with a pleading look towards Yuya, because he's not sure if Toki can be trusted TBQH ]

[hippocarnival]

[That's honestly completely fair. Luckily Peter is beating them to the punch.]

We'll go get a nurse. For now just try to stay still, okay? I promise everything's going to be okay.

[He shifts back from the couch, looking to Toki.] Ready?

[yokeye]

Yes!

[He gets off the couch to leave with Yuya.]

Kokkuri-san, I will keep my promise and find you the most beautiful d-doll-

[She's going to be so creepy even in a perfectly normal-looking doll; he's not imaging good things.]

You will be most pleased with my selection~!

[hippocarnival]

Mm, we'll be back soon. [He waves to Kano before turning to help steer Toki for the door. Luckily, it's about when Ekke comes in with Peter, so they can trust Kano to be well taken care of.

Which means Yuya should probably clear the air, and he leans a little closer to Toki.] You know, he's not possessed by anything, right?

[yokeye]

No, he is!

[Toki looks down at Yuya, and he's completely serious about this.]

I thought he was messing with me, but then he jumped off the roof and I tried to see if he was okay, but Kokkuri-san's disembodied voice floated up from EVERYWHERE AND HE'S DEFINITELY POSSESSED OTHERWISE HE'D BE DEAD!

[hippocarnival]

[Oh jeez. Yuya holds his hands out, trying to ease Toki into calming the hell down.]

You both fell, but Odd-Eyes caught him. I saw it! That's why he's not dead.

[yokeye]

[He knows what really happened, here.]

NO! BEFORE! BEFORE WE FELL, HE JUMPED! ON PURPOSE! BOWED TO ME AND JUMPED OFF! HE'S REALLY POSSESSED! HE CAME BACK AFTER AND THEN WE FELL!

[hippocarnival]

Hey! Hey. Toki, wait. [Yuya just. Puts his hands on Toki's shoulders, trying to get him to focus. Please listen.]

Remember one of the classes you signed up for? Magic illusions?

[U been played.]

[yokeye]

[He reviews what happened in his head. It was possible it was an illusion... maybe.]

WHY WOULD HE DO THAT!? Why would he try and make me think he was dead?

[They both could have actually died, because Toki was so stupid and believed Kano had actually leapt off the roof and was possessed by... Kokkuri-san. Kokkuri-san. He laughs nervously; he really believed something as ridiculous as Kokkuri-san.]

It... it looked real.

[Now he's slightly less confused about everything, but doesn't feel any less guilty because he basically pulled Kano off the roof with him anyway. Technically, it wasn't his fault Kano scared him, but he's still the one who slipped.]

[hippocarnival]

I don't think he meant it to get that far. [He doesn't actually know Kano well at all, but he wants to have faith he wasn't trying to completely terrorize Toki to the point of trauma.

Especially because he went and broke his arm in the process.] Anyway, are you okay?

[yokeye]

I'm fine~!

[He is completely dismissing this, and will never be the one to bring it up again.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya pauses, then draws his hands back with a small smile.] That's good. Let's go get Kano-san help so he's okay, too.

[yokeye]

Kano? That's his name? I hope he's not hurt too badly~!

[Stop talking about this, Yuya. Nothing happened.]

[hippocarnival]

Pretty sure his arm's broken. [Yuya's not knee deep in denial here.] Uh, but he'll definitely be taken care of! We have really good nurses here because of some of the dangerous stuff we have to do, and sometimes there's accidents.

[Put a bunch of superpowered kids in one building, there's definitely accidents.]

[yokeye]

Accidents happen~! I'm sure he'll be fine~!

[hippocarnival]

[Poor Toki, he must be still be shellshocked.]

... How about you sit down while I go get the nurse? Even if you didn't get hurt, it'd be a good idea.

[yokeye]

Okay!

[He'll go sit on the couch for a while if it makes Yuya happy.]
