so bumble got me thinking
well first of all maverick's the "cafe" run by (you fucking guessed it) maverick (that's me) will still be just inside the lum dorms for weekdays even though there'll be fucking cameras around I guess

no more popsicles since that one asshole took off and won't answer his fucking phone but there's plenty of hot chocolate, temp tattoos, and bumble has so graciously agreed to provide cookies on occasion.
the tats are kinda in limited supply but hey that's what markers are for
and if you want someone educating on tattoos, it's gotta be me I'm great
all this cafe shit is supposed to be for rounding up loose kids but if you need a sugar rush I ain't gonna stop you
unless like...it sounds super fucking funny at the time

anyway second of all, the part she actually got me thinking about
I checked with Mama and she said the camera crew is staying somewhere else so her base has space

if you need some time (like a couple days) minus a kiddo or they just can't fucking be around during that tv shit because they look or act like a freak show
reserve a room at INN OF ATROPOS
weirdo-friendly, respects your privacy, nice as shit, food's kickass, the manager's a total babe, you get the idea
normally she'd super fucking frown on just dumping a kid at her doors but she gets this shit is kinda a weird circumstance

also let it be known I will literally bash your fucking head in if you fuck up Mama's inn, whether that you is big or little just saying

[there is...so much to address in this short little message, but the longer he stares at it, the less he knows how to respond.]

what the FUCK mousie

[Ramona, too, is looking a little lost for words. She's reached to grab a paper and pen, but the sudden ashamed(?) insistence gives her pause. Well... Maybe he just needed to get going? Maybe the vision was something happening really soon, or right now? Kids and their phones, it wasn't like they really needed to write their visions down by hand anymore, anyway.]

Of...course? Don't be afraid to stop by again, when you get the chance. I don't get to meet my son's friends often. [this is awkward now oops] Good luck?

[yokeye]

[Toki's actually started writing them down by hand, as it's easier than typing. But he remembers more details of them than he used to, and it can wait. He avoids eye contact again while Ramona says her goodbyes.]

Thank you~! I'll stop by again~! It was nice to meet you~!

[She'll never see him again. He leaves her office and and runs all the way back to campus before he answers Maverick's text.]

i think kano was taken by daemons!

[deuteranope]

[In the time it takes, Maverick's been going off.]

WHY FUCKING ARE YOU WITH MY MAMA
what do you mean you THINK he summoned a daemon
did he fucking do it or not!
fucking hell
what did she say?
she being mama I fucking mean obviously
what the fuck is wrong with you, going to fucking bother her

[But at that point he figures out he's not going to get anything yet and calls Ramona instead. At least his memory wasn't being crap anymore, from the sound of it. There's just all that other stuff to be stressed about OH HEY it's Toki again.]

what use would a fucking daemon have for him??
why would he ever fucking summon one he's not THAT stupid

[yokeye]

[Eventually Toki returns the texts, selectively answering because explaining everything is too much of an effort over text. He probably got a better and more cohesive story from Ramona anyway.]

it's not important why!
because he drew a sigil first
before the snake daemons ate him or whatever!
i don't know WHY they want him!
maybe it's just symbolism!

[deuteranope]

what symbolism would there fucking be in seeing him draw a goddamn sigil

wait did it look like the doc's or some teacher's or anything?

[yokeye]

[Did it? Toki saw some writing, but what was it? He honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Hieke's sigil, one of the other daemon professors', or a generic one.]

they all look the same to me!
i'm going to the library to research snake daemons!

[deuteranope]

oh my fucking god

[...wait. Research and Kano... There's something he can look into, too, if he can get in Kano's room and not freak the tiny Shuuya out.]

you really think he'd do it?

[yokeye]

[He did, for two reasons. 1) That Kano has red eyes, and 2) that he personally witnessed Kano making a contract with a fey.]

i do!
i think he already did before too!
because he has red eyes!
he tried to tell me that doesn't mean anything,
but i think it does!

[deuteranope]

[........................]

he has red eyes?

[yokeye]

[Oh shit. No turning back now.]

yes!
now that i think about it though,
kano's right! red eyes are just supernatural
and not necessarily daemon related!

[deuteranope]

you're so fucking full of shit

I guess princess got red eyes too and he was just born that way I fucking guess

not impossible

[But his insides are twisting and growing claws and trying to eviscerate him from within. Did Kano really...? Why would he do something like that?

Because he's scared and angry and wants to hide. Isn't he already hiding enough? Did he really need to go and get himself swallowed up by a snake and disappear from their lives? Fucking extra piece of shit. Mav needs to punch him, but he's not around.]

[yokeye]

[Maybe whoever 'princess' is was a supernatural being since birth.]

who's princess? are you SURE he's a normal human?
yuya has red eyes too and he's normal-ish, but hes a tamer!
and minako i think has red eyes and she's a tamer too!
it's a whole thing!

[A stupid conspiracy thing that probably isn't true and just a coincidence.]

[deuteranope]

[what the fuuuuuck

being colorblind is the worst]

princess is my roommate

think he's just a candle

[yokeye]

candles would be supernatural too!
anyway! i'm going to research snake daemons!
i'll let you know if i find any sigils that look like the one in the vision!

[He's also going to turn off his phone, because it's a distraction.]
