For Kei
But Keigo has an idea for how he can make this quest work. He still thinks one of his roommates needs to loosen up and learn how to have fun. He's going to ruin Kei's day, and Kei is going to have a great time doing it!
A giant poster to announce the event would have been ideal, but he doesn't have poster-making supplies. A private message on the forum has to be enough:
Roommate Bonding Day
MANDATORY
First thing today!!!
His first, unintentional, offense may be that he's still asleep when Kei finds the message. "First thing" is relative. What fun day ever started at sunrise?
But if he doesn't hear from him, Kei will hear from Keigo soon enough.]
no subject
So when he sees the post, there's so many questions that pop in his mind at just what this implies. He eventually walks over to his roommate's room, arms crossed.]
What is this about?
no subject
Mmmm? Five more min-
[His mind catches up with reality and the present. He has a mission for the day.
Did the day have to start so early?
But he has a mission! Keigo sits up with all traces of sleepiness gone and fixes Kei with the look of someone about to tell him very important news.]
It's about you having fun!
no subject
...having fun.
[He repeats the words as if they are laced with poison.] And what type of 'fun' are you talking about?
no subject
But it's okay! Keigo's here to save him!]
What do you mean what kind of fun? The fun kind! Hanging out! Playing games! Getting to know each other! Let me get changed, and we'll get started.
I'm so sorry my notifs died around the 10th and I never noticed
[That's a definite no from the way he's making it sound. Then he sighs and realizes this might not be a good idea to just be that impolite, so he repeats it, a little softer;]
No, thank you.
pesky notifs
Even if you say no, I'm still going to do it, even if that means following you around all day and having fun in your general direction!
For Shiho
It's more of a prank taking shape in his mind than anything else, but he remembers how Shiho had seemed especially spooked by the idea of Hollows and ghosts in general when she walked through his closet school with him. He sends her a private message on the forum to get things started:]
You won't believe what I just felt!
[When his conscience starts to bother him, he just has to remember how she's always giving him a hard time.]

[He wishes it was that kind of feeling.]
A creepy feeling.
no subject
Like a bug landing on you? Like a stalker hanging around outside your house?? Deja vu?
no subject
Because I've felt this exact same thing before!
no subject
So what is it?
Or do you want me to keep guessing
no subject
It felt like a bad spirit!
no subject
What do you mean like a bad spirit
Those don’t even exist you know
no subject
You can pretend they exist all you want, but I've seen them!
And now I felt it again.
no subject
You never said anything about that
Ive forgotten
Stop feeling it
Go feel something normal
no subject
no subject
Make whatever you felt go away then
no subject
I'm not the one who can make them go away!
no subject
Time to go cling onto Kaoru and refuse to let go.]
no subject
I told you because we'd talked about them before.
I'll just leave you alone, then!

no subject
didn't i already tell you not to go?!
fine!

i'll go find kaoru and you can just stay unpopular for the rest of your life!
you virgin!
no subject
Angrearful.
For now, he has to gather his haunting supplies.
The problem is, he's not sure what those should be. His planning was incomplete before he threw himself into this. He ends up with all of their cooking supplies wrapped up in the blanket off his bed to carry them. Clanging pots and pans seems like a ghost-like thing, and if it comes down to it, he's putting the blanket over his head as a costume.
He's really lucky she doesn't know anything about Hollows and what they look or sound like.
Keigo accepts this luck and heads for Shiho's house.
For his first idea, he sets aside most of his supplies and just grabs a spoon and scrapes it against the wall of the house. He does that a few times and then waits for...he's not sure what he's waiting for, but he'll know when it happens!]
no subject
And not taking it a step further and making it "forever virgin" once he takes it to part two.
Already hiding under the blankets and waiting for Kaoru to get here after sending her a panicked message, Shiho has her hands to herself because what was worse: seeing the ghost or seeing nothing there and wondering if she'd missed the ghost?
Answer: she thinks they're both terrible. The house is way too quiet and that scrape of the spoon on the wall has her jumping and squashing herself as far into a corner as she can with a bang.]
no subject
OOOoooooOOOOOooo
[This is the best prank ever!]
no subject
[There's a loud crash as Shiho throws something right out the window.]
no subject
Worried he just gave himself away, he grabs a pot, intending to bang it around some and hoping it sounds like a tortured soul instead of a toddler playing in the kitchen. But then inspiration! He howls directly into the pot.]
OooOOooOooOoO [(With an echo.)]
no subject
Bye, Keigo??]
no subject
Confident in his continued success, he bangs the two pots together and segues into a greatest hits collection of more scraping at the wall and another howl for good measure.]
