Um.. I'm sorry for announcing this inbetween everything else, but-- I wanted to make sure I wouldn't do it too late so that it'd be inconvenient for other people..

[ Yes, sorry for interrupting all your talk about PSYCHENet and Trumps and love confessions and god knows what else.. at least she's keeping it in theme, okay. ]

But as some of you already heard, Toshizou and I are going to get married during this Jaunt. [ And despite somewhat natural nervousness of but whAT IF IT'S INCONVENIENT FOR EVERYONE ELSE lingering in her tone, she does sound very happy. It's not hard to tell. Just some nervous happy jitters about it still, really. ] It'll be on the 11th, so.. if you want to come, you can..! But I understand that people are busy with more important things as well, so please don't feel obligated at all..

[ .. look, maybe it's not the best announcement, but it could've been worse. It could've been Toshizou "COME OR DON'T IDGAF SHIT DAMN PISS HELL" Hijikata saying it. Instead it's just lingered with Chizuru's constant need to put her own needs fifteen miles behind everyone else's. ]

I think PSYCHENet is going to officiate it, so it could also maybe be helpful for finding out more about this Jaunt. If people are wondering about that sort of thing instead, I mean.

In either case, thank you for listening..!

[nicotinized]

He likes desserts, but that probably shouldn't be your entire menu. [Or Souji's.]

[upcard]

That's true...!

[though... she tilts her head thoughtfully, considering that. A Trump...?

The computer had asked her if she would be willing to be its friend, and she had said yes. It's a strange thought.]

Was that really a Trump...?

[fridgeninja]

I don't think I'm the right person to approach it. But I'll stop advising other people not to until we know more.

With that said, please be careful.

[tealeafs]

I don't think anyone is sure yet.. [ And Chizuru hasn't really seen the Trumps in person before.. she hasn't interacted with the ones that did show up, at least. ]

I guess it's possible though, since they've come to talk to us before. And we never knew their true identity until after it happened.. [ ... ] Although PSYCHENet seems so.. um, cute, I think..? Not the way you'd expect a Trump to act, probably.

[tealeafs]

I will, but..

[ ... ]

Why do you think you're not the right person? [ If this ends up being one of those "guys who constantly put themselves down" kind of scenarios, Chizuru's determined to nip that one in the bud, okay!! It's sort of her job. ]

[tealeafs]

We can just get multiple things! Okita-san asked if there'd be an open bar too, so maybe we can just get a little bit of everything..

[ Or maybe Chizuru is just a little bit too determined to please everyone, despite it being her own wedding.

Well, as long as it makes her happy in its own special way... ]

Does Hijikata-san have a special request as well?

[tealeafs]

[ She goes quiet for a moment - like she's thinking about it. ]

I.. I'm not too sure what could go wrong, actually. [ Even if PSYCHENet is a Trump, what would that mean? What would happen? ] People just seem very worried.. do you think you could maybe keep an eye out in general, Rekka-san? I would really owe you..!

[tealeafs]

Eh-- wait, did you think I wouldn't invite you, Ace-san? [ OH NO.. Did she really seem that rude?! Did she give off that implication?! There's about fifty different alarm bells going off in Chizuru's head right this moment. ]

Of course you can come..! S-sorry, I suppose I just assumed you would know that..

[tealeafs]

Yes, this world really is different compared to where we come from.. [ Sure, it might both be Japan. But none of them were exactly prepared for modern anime stereotype Japan, which is still very, very much different than what they're used to. ] I think the wedding will be at the shrine they have on the school grounds though, so maybe it'll end up being a little bit more familiar by then.

[ Since that's at least something they know of. ]

And-- um, if the preparations end up being too much, please ask me for help.. alright, Saitou-san? I wouldn't want you to have to overwork yourself, or anyone else..

[tealeafs]

[ Even Chizuru can call bullshit on that one. Sure, she might not know the reason for why he's feeling the way he does, but it's obvious that something is wrong with Sano.

And she can't figure out what exactly. This Jaunt isn't so bad, and she thought he'd be happy with the announcement, considering he's always been happy for her when things went well..

.. is he maybe still a little more hurt from being stuck where he was for so long? From the way Heisuke described it, it didn't sound like a good place. And she doesn't know what part of her announcement made him think of it, so it's probably easier to change the topic for now, especially since it feels wrong to pry through a mental connection. ]

Um.. have you tried anything fun yet this Jaunt..? It seems like there is a lot to do here, even if it's mostly all new for us.

[upcard]

I see...

[She's never met any trumps before either, but...]

I hope that PSYCHENet really is a Trump. She seems... so nice. And... um, if the Trumps are nice like that, then... I'm sure everything will work out fine...!

[fridgeninja]

I'm still a little angry and skeptical to be fair about it.

[tealeafs]

[ At least Mai seems to agree with her on it. Not that she expected any different, considering how similarly they thought about a lot of things, but.. well, everyone else seemed to distrust it a little more than that. ]

Hmm.. people seemed a little worried about letting PSYCHENet do our wedding, but even if something would go wrong, Toshizou and I are prepared for the risks. [ Their whole life, basically. Chizuru might not be killed every other route, but she sure is in the middle of the battlefield 24/7.. ]

But-- please don't worry, I doubt it'll come that far. Like you said, PSYCHENet is really kind, after all.

[tealeafs]

Why are you angry, though..? Did PSCYHENet do something to you personally?

[fridgeninja]

Angry at the Trumps. I agree that it's too soon to be sure whether PSYCHENet is one or not, but because I'm biased, a different investigator is best.

[devaluates]

Yeah we can do that! Wherever you like.

[Somehow he might be able to give her her present? Hopefully he doesn't screw it up.]

[ooc: Want me to post a log? y/n? Or we can action thread in here]

[hakodate]

That's the important part.

[He was kind of hoping she'd at least offer up some more things he could do, like "make sure those chucklefucks decorate the shrine in her favorite color" or something...but this answer, honestly, is exactly what he expects of Chizuru. It's just how she is.

It's exactly what he loves about her.]

[knightceties]

I see, I see. In that case, I happily accept! I guess I was expecting something a little more...formal...? Ahahaha!

[maruniichimonji]

[ He's actually rather grateful for the change of subject, not willing to really go into detail about 'what's wrong'. Saying 'everything' is probably not the best answer anyway, and he doesn't want to upset her.

Instead, he focuses on the question at hand, debating a response. What has he done here? That's a good question, actually.

Oh, wait! He has an answer after all. ]

I discovered I don't really like disgustingly sweet drinks and convinced a student to part with a few bottles of alcohol.

[ He even did it without hitting him! ...or without hitting him too hard. It was just a knock on the head. Besides, these people are a little too sheltered and fragile-looking for his taste. More wussiness, less sturdiness. ]

Their idea of fun doesn't really mesh with mine.

[ Those games they were playing had to be the most disturbingly innocent things he's ever witnessed. How are these kids in their teens?! Teenagers are practically adults! They should be doing adult things, not acting like five year olds (and he doesn't mean the Souji-variety of five year old, either). ]

[brannewbrains]

Well, they do where I'm from, at the party thrown after the ceremony. The newlyweds have a first dance, then everyone else joins in.

[ ...have they all had enough dancing still? or can they give it another go. ]

But you don't need to do all that, I imagine you've got your own traditions.

[thirdarrow]

That is true. [ Admittedly, this is his first Jaunt, so he still is not quite familiar with the full procedure. ] It would be easy to contact the Investigators through the network, but - what about the Infiltrators?

[ It would be a shame to force them to miss out, but... ]

[upcard]

[.... ... ... ...

Uwoooooh]

Chizuru-san....

[.........]

You're so cool...!

["Toshizou and I are prepared for the risks" THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PROTAG IN AN DRAMATIC ROMANTIC MOVIE....]

[tealeafs]

[ She can't entirely blame him for being angry at the Trumps. Since they hardly communicate with them, it's hard to understand them, and it does seem like they do a lot of bad things, but.. ]

Um.. is it okay for me to say something..? [ Don't mind her being overly polite, okay, Souji. She just wants to make sure she isn't steamwaltzing all over his own opnions before she says something. ]

[fridgeninja]

I don't mind.

[undefine]

[...]

I doubt that I need to remind you that this is your wedding, correct?

[Don't tell him to ask you for help?! He knows that she has good intentions, of course, but... THAT'S BACKWARDS... THAT'S DEFINITELY BACKWARDS...]
