[It's pretty late when Kimbley taps Ryuunosuke over the crystal; he can't sleep for the time being, probably because "entirely too much love potion" may have been a thing he did today, but either way here he is and the crystal is surprisingly warm and everything is good tonight.]
[It's not surprising that Ryuunosuke's up this late because he's almost always up late, but usually he tries to go to sleep when Tsukiyama does. He doesn't really want Tsukiyama knowing that he's worried that whatever happen will repeat itself if someone isn't up to watch the door.
It's a really dumb worry. He doesn't even know how that happened in the first place, so keeping watch at night probably isn't necessary. Besides, what could he do if someone broke in anyway? Regardless, it's easiest to stay up at night.
He starts a little at the sudden intrusion, but he quickly responds.]
Pretty good, for once. I've had some help, though - I'm assuming you heard that girl talking about her drinks and stuff, the ones that jumpstart your feelings a bit.
I'm glad to hear that! I really hope my friend goes back to normal soon because it's...
[...]
Well, he's... He's normally really cheerful and upbeat and all that, but something happened to him and now he's... totally apathetic. That stuff White was selling helps, but...
[And a good amount of emotions go flickering across the crystal, though it's sort of hard to pick out one in the massive jumble.]
...He's really important to me. You'd think I'd know how to handle something like that, right? But I have no idea what to do. He's not upset about being like this, obviously, but he thinks he probably should be and I don't even know what happened, but I don't want to press him to talk about it either and I just...
[...]
Sorry. I haven't really talked about this with anyone. Obviously.
Holy shit, no, I don't expect you to know how to handle anything like that. People like us don't know how to handle anything like a sane person.
[Thanks, Kimbley.]
...I have to wonder if whatever hit him is the same thing that hit someone I know from back home. He talked to me a bit recently, and while he's not usually manic, he's usually one of those people that's always moving forward. You know what I mean? He sounded pretty messed up the last time I talked to him, though.
[...]
You can talk to me about stuff if you want to. It's not like I'm going to tell anyone.
Yeah. Well, alright, I don't know that for sure, but I see him all the time and he went missing for awhile. I didn't see him in any of his usual spots and the fact that people were getting kidnapped around that time? It's too much of a coincidence.
He hasn't told me anything about what happened either, so I can only assume it was bad.
[He's quiet for a moment, though it's obvious this isn't a pleasant topic. He's trying not to send too much anxiety through the crystal, but it's not working very well.]
...It's probably really stupid to be afraid of something like that happening again. He can take care of himself, but something happened anyway.
Yeah, I'm staying with him. Obviously he's not feeling anything, but he likes having me around and I probably wouldn't be able to sit still if I wasn't here with him.
And besides, I want to be here. So it works out. I just don't know what to do to help. I don't think there's anything anyone can do. And there's no guarantee that he'll go back to the way he was either, though I'm trying really hard to convince myself everything will be okay eventually.
[The answer is immediate, but the anxiety is still there.]
I don't want him to be alone, even if he won't feel anything about that. I don't want to abandon him. It's not just for his sake either, he's... Well, like I said, he's important to me and I honestly don't know what I'd do without him.
[...Probably pester Silver half to death.]
I really hope that doesn't happen because I don't think either of us will handle it well. But if it does then... well, I guess I'll do what I can to work with it. I'm not leaving.
...If it was anyone else, I wouldn't stick around.
[As much as he likes Silver, he definitely wouldn't put himself through anything worse than this. This hasn't even been all that bad, but if it doesn't eventually get better...]
But yeah, you're right. He's not going to be okay with it either, but... I guess I've managed to get enough feelings experience for this to actually be really awful, so... Good job, me.
[oh my god why did he ever want feelings, feelings suck]
...I'm probably the last guy you want feelings advice from, but it's probably going to be bad whenever he comes around. If he's aware that he's messed up right now, he's probably going to be really upset when everything hits him later.

Hey, Uryuu. You busy?

Oh, hey! No, I'm not. I was just reading.
[Which isn't a lie and he closes the book.]
How are you doing?
[The warmth is definitely new.]

Okay, more like "a lot", but that's not the point. I haven't had a chance to try 'em out yet though. I'm glad to hear they're working well for you!
no subject
She said she's willing to make other stuff for a price. Literally anything we want, if that interests you.
no subject
[He's sparkling so hard over here and the crystal is definitely heating up.]
I wouldn't even know what to ask for... The ones she's already made are great, but wow... Good job making friends with her! So who is she?
no subject
So is there a reason you haven't tried yours?
no subject
...And uh... I've been kinda busy. A friend of mine's been having a pretty rough time, so...
[He's the Responsible Adult, okay!!!]
no subject
...Yeah, I know how that goes, actually. One of mine's been doing better nowadays? But it hasn't been going too well overall for a while.
no subject

Well, he's... He's normally really cheerful and upbeat and all that, but something happened to him and now he's... totally apathetic. That stuff White was selling helps, but...
[He shrugs but doesn't continue.]
no subject
[He knows how that part goes as well.]
This is that guy you've told me about before, right? The really manic one?

no subject
Yeah, I guess it would be pretty weird if I started handling anything in a halfway sane manner...
[It's getting him to relax though, so well done!]
...This is probably going to sound really weird, but that guy you know from back home... was he one of those kidnapping victims recently?
[HE'S GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS maybe]
no subject
I don't know for sure, but I've got a good reason to think he was involved somehow, yeah.
Your friend was caught up in that?
no subject
He hasn't told me anything about what happened either, so I can only assume it was bad.

[Or for no real reason at all. You know how it goes.]
From the sound of it, you're going to handle it worse than he is.

[That sounds tentative, like he's not actually sure that's a good thing.]
no subject
Again, last person you want advice from. But just be yourself at him if he gets upset. That tends to help.
