[James. James. This is not a text conversation. Togusa is calling as he is heading out the door to his car.]
[ It's not even a text message. It's just a picture attached to an empty text message.
The image is a whole lot of different hues of blue paint splashes all over a big sheet of paper stuck on the wall, with some random images drawn with even more blue shades. ]

[This is one of the happiest things Togusa has ever seen, and the sight of it fills Togusa with the exact same almost childish joy. He is happily laughing out loud.]
Yes! Oh yes! This is amazing.
Oh, I am so happy to see that color.

HELP
THE ARM FELL OFF

[So Togusa knew this was going to fall apart, but he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
Or so literally.]
Turning around. On my way.
What have you told them? Any part of the story you want to go with?
[They have MINUTES to get their stories straight, and then James has to move forwards with whatever Togusa says. Last chance to give some input.]

Hey Togusa uh
Weird question for you.

Getting used to these.
Go ahead.

[It's late at night and Tatsuo is still half-groggy from waking up and realizing the dream he just had was actually another of Ikuo's memories. And a not very pleasant memory at that. The first thing he does is yank down his covers and make sure he's not actually bleeding anywhere. And the second thing he does is grab his cell phone to send a text to Togusa, briefly forgetting just how late it is.]
so he definitely got shot
so he definitely got shot
[So guess who forgot to turn off his cyberbrain last night, so guess who gets woken up by a text that nearly gives him a heart attack?]
[Togusa scrambles for his phone, nearly tossing over the box by his bed to get it out, because this needs to be a phone call, not a text conversation, and not on the network, Tatsuo.]
[Ring ring, Tatsuo.]
"Where are you and what's happening?" Jolted awake and already halfway out of bed.

[ On the one hand, the nightmares and things that the fog has brought, and the concern for people he has encountered in those times, have completely thrown him out of the loop. On the other, it's still his best friends birthday and Koutarou wouldn't miss that even though he sucks at birthdays. He even has prepared a present for him. And he calls when he knows Togusa isn't at work yet, but not so early that he'd still be asleep or half-asleep. ]
Happy birthday, Hitori!

Because of everything that has been going on for the past week, Togusa was trying to keep things quiet, maybe not mention that he was having a birthday. But the one exception to that is Koutarou. He's off work today (off for two weeks' administrative leave, really, but who's counting?). But he's touched that Koutarou is making the time so early.
The smile is audible in his voice when he picks up the phone. "Good morning, Koutarou! Oh, thank you!"

I had another one of those hallucinomemories.
Something related to the last one you told me about?

I'm sorry.
I didn't even mean to get that angry. I'm pretty sure he didn't, either.
He's not actually the person I'm mad at anyway.

[Togusa will receive an invitation in the mail addressed to him! There's a note for him, too.]
Dear Togusa,
I know we haven't talked much since the mission Retrospec sent us on, but I hope that you'll be able to make it to the wedding. If you can, there's a possibility of Baren participating, and I'd appreciate an extra pair of eyes on him. He might get the idea to release a flock of doves inside the temple itself.
With warm regards,
Mikleo Lefay

Mikleo,
My most heartfelt congratulations. I would be very happy to attend, especially if you're getting married on such an auspicious day. It feels like hubris to pretend that even I would be able to keep Baren under control, but I'll do my best. At least, I would be very glad to come celebrate with you on your special day.
Thank you for the invitation,
Hitori Togusa

[Togusa, you've got high hopes.
But Dante's response here is going to be delayed. Because he's been assuming they were going to shove all of this other him into his head from the start--he's been worrying that one day he'd wake up with Ansem in his head all over again. This possibility that Togusa's been refusing to see... it's the reality he's been facing for months now.
He's taking this private now, though. This isn't something he wants to be public knowledge. And so a few minutes later, Togusa will receive Dante's response via a more private channel of communication.]
why do you think i've been worrying so much about everything that happened in his past
if i wake up one day with ansem's voice in my head, i want to be ready, i don't want to roll over like he did and let him use me to attack the people i care about

[He does, okay? That's what he's here for. And even when he's reading Dante's response, part of which he rather expected, he'll keep those high hopes up because someone has to.]
You won't. And that's exactly why I have so much faith in the memories that we're making here, in this life. You're this Dante. You've got so many people that are important to you who are going to help you fight if that day does come.
That's...why you've been arguing so hard for leniency for Malik, isn't it? Because he had no one to help.

Question! Did you remember to throw yourself in the mix? You're getting a present, too, right?
Also, if anyone asks about me, tell them I like books. That's cheap and easy for anybody.

To answer your question, I am a sword.
[Togusa has to STARE at this text for a very long time. Maybe what he isn't saying is more important than this revelation.]
So. You're accepting what Retrospec is showing you as being a part of your own life? You don't think this was someone else entirely? Let's. Start there.

[Surprise, Togusa! Mikleo is your Secret Santa this year! He'll get a neatly wrapped present with the following:
-A knitted scarf
-A pair of gloves
-A gun holster that's both functional and has a subtle design on it
There's also a note.]
Merry Christmas, Officer. I thought I'd get you something practical this year. I wasn't sure how old your holster is, but it's always good to have a backup, right?

[That holster actually means a lot to Togusa. It fits the Mateba perfectly, and somehow, distancing himself from a piece of the Other-Togusa makes the gun a little more his. The gesture is really touching.]
Mikleo,
Merry Christmas to you, too. Thank you so much for the presents. I can't really explain how much that means to me. I suppose, this means another thank you to Sora for getting all of us together, too, hunh?
I wish you well this Christmas, and I look forward to seeing you at your wedding.
Thank you,
Hitori Togusa
P.S: I think we're a little past 'Officer.' It's okay, I promise.

Edited 2017-12-28 01:41 (UTC)
Kill people? All right, I’ll bite.
Dylan Walker, Hitori Togusa, nice to meet you.
On the contrary, Retrospec does whatever they can to keep us alive.

Good news. He lives. Just remembered his partner dropping by to visit him.
THANK GOODNESS.
That was not a thought I wanted to linger on. Too many people are pretty sure they've remembered the death of the other person. So. Good.

How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts.
You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is Sora Pu'uwai. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at Peach Beach tomorrow morning and we'll go from there.
You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?

We encourage you to read the main event log as well for more information about your recruiter and this note.

Officer, one of the members of my group- A teenager, I should add- is reporting monthly occurrences of DV at his home.
I know I'm not technically an officer myself yet, but I'm trying to get some information and encouraging him to file a proper police report.
What else should I do?

[Oh, Togusa just went from kind of sleepy to very awake as he sits up to answer this.]
Keep doing what you're doing. Primary info, are there any other family members in danger? Starting to get dates of specific incidents would be a help, but don't push too hard.

IDK if you're getting any news updates out there, but... Yes, the chief is missing. No, you do not need to come back. I'm going to look into it with Baudin and whomever else I can scrounge up. Whatever you're doing out there, focus on that.
Oh, believe me, we are not physically able to come back, we already tried.
Define 'missing.' The news report didn't.
And, are you sure? I've got Officers Tenmyouji and Hoboken with me. We could try to hurry our asses back if you need the backup.

Todoroki. Yes, I am. Cleo told me about what you said. I will do anything I can to help.
you know
one time in the war someone told me
me/him
whatever
someone told me "living with what you've done is the hardest part"
but i think he's wrong
the hardest part is living with knowing what you're capable of

Won't waste time with asking if you're okay.
Just because he was capable of something doesn't mean you are. He had to do what he could to survive a war, even with Retrospec, I don't think you're going to get pushed to that point.

if you defended me when furugawa made that comment about my parents shipping me off, you've gotta defend malik from this
it's not okay

Because you're asking, I'll say something. But I'm going to need a better explanation.
