[He almost throws his tablet out the window. Almost. He doesn't want to humor this shit. Not after what he learns from that shitty tiger!]

and what do i get outta it beside a guaranteed headache?

[emotionalbeast]

A favor. Will that suffice? Or maybe a story from my world.

[Or a beating. Not like Chuuya gave him reason to doubt, yet.]

[gravity_flares]

fine. you'll owe me a favor.

well, go on, shoot.

[Please, the only thing that's gonna be beat is your ass if you try it, Aku!!]

[emotionalbeast]

Describe me the other Akutagawa?
Your world?
About you?

[gravity_flares]

ugh, let's start with the first one, i guess.

the Akutagawa from my world was one of my comrades in the Port Mafia. from what i can tell, you're both pretty similar aside from that. a little bit of a pain in my ass, sure, but...

[he respects him. not that you're gonna hear him say that!]

anyway, i'd say one of the major differences between you two is the way you dress. plus you aren't obsessed with getting that damn Dazai's recognition despite your own capabilities. i take it he didn't get you wrapped up in the mafia because of that?

[emotionalbeast]

[‘recognition’. Now he wants to cut his other self.]

Do me a favor. When you see him again, hit him for me.

That Man in Black went with his other choice because of the beast lurking inside me. It lead to 4 years vengeance, my sole purpose to kill that man. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around that guy.

[Forever the Man in Black]

[gravity_flares]

look, the bastard in black went with another choice for more than just that, probably. if he's anything like the one i know, it's never simple with that jackass.

not that my input matters much since the one you're dealing with now is from my world. he's already being a pain in the ass with his schemes, too.

tch, just thinkin' of that pisses me off!

[emotionalbeast]

you mean he’s acting on behalf of the man in black for Jinko. It’s perhaps more than that, i can’t say.

no matter the choice, his main goal was for me to meet with Jinko. Then he goes and takes his own life.

1/2

[gravity_flares]

[Whatever he's going to reply with never makes it to text. Because he drops his tablet. Doesn't pick it up for a long while, and when he does he has to read it all over again. Dammit. DAMMIT!]

what do you mean, he took his own life

2/2

[gravity_flares]

[No. No. He doesn't have to think about it. Doesn't have toー CRACK. The edge of his tablet screen flickers as the corner of it cracks. He's pressing too hard on it without realizing it. Shit.]

don't answer that, coattails.

[emotionalbeast]

[Dont answer that? Better move on to something else…]

let’s talk about you.

[gravity_flares]

[Yeah, thanks. He'll figure that part out later. Maybe. Only because a certain idiot is trying to play the role of this bastard.]

fine. what about me. i'm one of the executives in the Port Mafia. but my boss isn't the bastard in blackー i'm only gonna answer to Mori Ōgai.

[emotionalbeast]

[…he really won’t if Mori dies. Tucks that thought away.]

what made you join the port mafia? Do you owe your boss something?

[gravity_flares]

the promise of long walks on the beach and all the wine a guy could ask forー why the hell do you wanna know that specifically????

[That's too personal, coattails.]

[emotionalbeast]

ah now i understand.

[gravity_flares]

you gonna elaborate on that?

[emotionalbeast]

a peaceful slumber finally caught up to me.

[That’s a no.]

@&$#!!!

[gravity_flares]

now you're spoutin' cryptic shit outta the blue to get outta it?! just admit you don't understand like a normal person when they get caught, dammit!

[emotionalbeast]

if these arms could reach through the screen. It’s a metaphor. The conversation fell short like your personality. I dont know why i even bother reaching out when its all the same.

[gravity_flares]

tch...you know there's some things you just don't ask over text, right?

no? well, you wanna bother "reaching out", you do that shit in person. then i'll think about it.

but, just so you knowー i don't owe the Boss anything. not anymore.

[emotionalbeast]

Last thing, and I’ll stop.

His relationship with his sister. How is it?

[gravity_flares]

uh, it's good, i guess...? can't say i have the best experience when it comes to knowing how siblings should act.

all i know is he meets up with her from time to time when they're both off duty. they're pretty private, so it's not like i've tried to follow up past that, anyway.

[emotionalbeast]

[Good thing this is text. Their relationship is better.]

Thank you for your time Short Fedora. Night.

[gravity_flares]

i told you to quit callin' me that already!

whatever.
you're welcome.
night.
