_{[ By the time Jason texts him, Karamatsu is stuck in his room. The overall network had been down to communicate with everyone as a whole, so this is the first message he's received from somebody. The gravity still hasn't kicked back in, so Karamatsu is getting a little sea-sick from feeling lightweight in his quarters. ]}

Ah jason! What the hell is going on out there?
I guess i should call out of work today?
_{[ He didn't see or hear anything about the explosions cause he's been sleeping like a baby.
also help him.. he's never really had a job, he doesn't know how this works. ]}

poifect!!

[dudebro]

[ It's kinda fun though. Just sort of chilling in the middle of nothing. It'll probably hurt when they get the gravity situation back under control and there's that fall from grace, but. Eh. ]

dude i don't think any1's expecting shit to be open
so ur good
no fuckin clue wtf is goin g on tho
weird shit tho rite???

[glitterpants]

That's a real shame... i'm sure the strippers could do a lot of amazing things in a situation like this.
_{[ why is this the first thing he thinks of. ]}

It is.. i wonder if problems such as this are common.
Did they ever mention how long this craft has been going through space? When it was founded?
_{[ maybe in orientation, but Karamatsu isn't a very detailed person, so.. he misses things a lot. ]}

[dudebro]

lol well they wouldnt have 2 worry abt saggy tits for 1 thing

[ Amazingly, he hadn't even thought of that yet. But, now he's definitely thinking about zero-g strippers. Thanks. He needs a moment. ]

u kno dude idek if they said anything
hopefully this shit ain't like 1k+ yrs old u kno
might rip itself apart & we'll all just die in space

[leaderboards]

Have you managed to stay alive so far with the power issues?

[ so... much concern here... truly touching, surely. ]

text | un: 2cool | let's make it february 14th after they are able to get the doors opened

[glitterpants]

_{[ Things had gotten weird. With the zero gravity at first, and the doors jammed and everything dark, Karamatsu was thankful that by this time he was able to wander freely throughout the ship. Both he and his brother had moved in the same space together, because when you're sextuplets that have grown up with each other until adulthood, it just makes sense to stick together.
Also, he feels a responsibility to watch over Ichimatsu since he is older.. by a few minutes. Right now, they're both curious what is out there, but Karamatsu is also craving meat, specically pork wrapped in bacon, so he's investigating like a brave NEET.
By the time that Carolina messages him, he's walking through the ship's hallways on his own. He feels a bounce behind his chest that she would message him so suddenly, and so he just sends up a dumb text back: ]}

Ah, sweet Carolina-san ♡
Although your heart may be black like these hallways i am walking in, i knew deep within your soul there is a flickering light... a divine flame.
_{[ you're so nice to check in on him. ]}

[leaderboards]

[ okay, she regrets this. ]

"Yes" would have been enough.

[glitterpants]

Not for you... you deserve more than enough and i am willing to give what it takes. ;)
Ah... i am alive and well, however. My brother, one of them, he is here now.. so i am watching him.
As the second eldest, it is my duty to take care of him since Osomatsu-niisan is not here.

_{[ YOU'RE. ALL. TWINS. DOES IT EVEN MATTER? ]}

[leaderboards]

[ look even she knows that there always has to be one twin pretending to be responsible. she's not questioning that part. ]

Right. I'm glad you two have each other.

backdated to Feb. 20th, cw: vomit?? whoops.

[ichimyatsu]

[Everything had been so crazy since that night in the Atrium that thankfully Ichimatsu hadn't had much of a chance to sleep, anyway. Sure, that meant he was tired, and that meant he was way crabbier at Karamatsu than usual, but that was fine. If he pushed him away he wouldn't be able to figure out how actually rattled the entire thing had made him.]

[It wasn't until two days later, with some power restored to the ship, that things had even remotely settled down enough for them to even really sleep at what was overall considered their "bedtime". From fitful naps holding him over since they found Rey's body, he crawled into bed alongside his brother and dropped off pretty quickly.]

[Unfortunately for them both, it was less than an hour before he woke up in a cold sweat with a shout, only to make a staggering beeline for the bathroom in their quarters and empty the contents of his stomach into the toilet. Well, so much for getting to make fun of Karamatsu for being a Vomit Princess.]

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ Thankfully, Karamatsu had been sleeping soundly even with the accident that they had stumbled across. It's probably because he didn't hold back with showing the kind of sick feeling he was experiencing. Nightmares didn't come. Instead, he dreamed of home, since that had been the lingering thought on his mind ever since he arrived.

Ichimatsu crawling out of the bed doesn't wake him— it's the disgusting noise that Ichimatsu makes in the bathroom and rouses him, grumbling and slowly sitting up and looking towards the bathroom in confusion once he notices Ichimatsu is gone from his side.

Huh. ]</sub>

[ichimyatsu]

[He stays there, retching for a while even after he's emptied his stomach. It's another handful of minutes before he emerges, having rinsed out his mouth and brushed his teeth enough to make his gums bleed just to get rid of the sour taste in his mouth. He forgets himself for a moment when he opens the door from the bathroom, and stands in the doorway backlit staring at Karamatsu sitting up in bed.]

[...ah.]

[He doesn't keep his eyes on him very long, shutting off the light and circling back around the bed to crawl back into it, perching as far to the edge as he can without rolling off. He doesn't acknowledge his brother verbally, but he definitely saw him. Ichimatsu please.]

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ Karamatsu watches Ichimatsu wordlessly, even all the way to him curling up inside of the bed again. It's dark, now, but Karamatsu is still sitting up and looking down at the lump next to him. His brows pin together with worry— Ichimatsu is hard to handle sometimes, and with him being the only sibling here, Karamatsu is a bit nervous about comforting him since their relationship is strained.

Hesitantly, he placing his hand on Ichimatsu's shoulder. ]</sub>

My brother, you don't have anything you need to hide from me.
_{[ please tell him how he can help— as the person you mistreat the very most, he doesn't want to do anything to make you feel the same way. ]}

[ichimyatsu]

[He sucks in a sharp lungful of air when Karamatsu's hand lands on his shoulder, which he exhales slowly and it shakes, just slightly, as he tries (and mostly fails) to settle his heartbeat. He shakes his head at first, not realizing that Karamatsu probably can't see the action in the dark, and eventually he rolls onto his back. The action dislodges Karamatsu's hand from his shoulder, but he didn't entirely reject the contact should the older choose to replace it.]

I'm fine. [Says the hoarse quaver to your voice.]

[yokunaru]

Karamatsu-san, do you like sweets?

[glitterpants]

Hmph. I do. In this bitter world, I like sweet, summer mornings, the scent of flowers teasing my nose...
Sweet embraces from beautiful women, who are filled with warmth and comfort,
A sweet kiss on the cheek with their glossy lips..
The sweet laughter from one of my lovely honeys, it is music to my ears...

Yes i do.

[yokunaru]

[Though Karamatsu doesn't see it, the text draws a laugh out of Yuuri.]

We really should keep a record of these things you say. "Karamatsu Matsuno's Greatest Hits".

I actually meant the candy and chocolates sort of sweet. Do you like those?

[glitterpants]

_{[ What he says is so painful though.. and his brothers give him slack about it. ]}

I'm not sure.. it could be dangerous.. i'm a dangerous guy..
Ah.. but of course. I wish one day to receive chocolates for Valentine's day.. so that on White day i may spoil a beautiful girl with all of my might...

Lollipops are also good, you know.
And pears if you would like to count those as sweets.

_{[ he and pears have a complicated relationship though.. ]}

[yokunaru]

Sorry, I'm not a beautiful girl and it's way past Valentine's Day, but I have some chocolates if you want them.

I think there were some lollipops in here, too.

march 20th, evening

[ichimyatsu]

[He'd spent the most time in Acedia and Gula, he figured. He'd gone back to most of the others, and he had a decent-sized box full of the plantlife he'd harvested, sectioned off and with short notations. Everywhere but Ira and Gula he'd managed to ask natives of Bajikan to name the plants, though most of the names were hard to write in katakana and he was sure he did it wrong. Most of them sounded Western, and his stomach twisted sickly when he realized Karamatsu would be as good as anyone to consult about how to write the names out in English letters. He couldn't spell in English to save his life.]

[Osomatsu had been around, and when he'd returned from Gula on on of his last outings having run into Yuuri in the sweets shop on the 18th, he'd left a candy wrapped in red and filled with cherry where the eldest slept, and one wrapped in blue and filled with probably blue raspberry where Karamatsu slept. The blue candy remained in place, and Ichimatsu had taken to sleeping curled up on the floor with his cat beside the chest of plants he'd brought back.]

[Whenever Karamatsu returned to their quarters from his Bajikan adventures, he would find Eluvio's youngest Matsuno conked out sitting up but leaning sideways into the chest, Nyanko perched neatly atop it.]

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ Karamatsu comes back to their room, done with Bajikan. He wasn't sure what place was more safe with the bodies that people had found or with the assortments of aliens and people he found on Bajikan. Karamatsu is wearing a newly purchased jacket from the Superbia district, which was his last stop, and it was also the same day he and Ichimatsu had another argument. Now that the manipulating air was out of his system, Karamatsu felt more exhausted than ever. He had fallen in love— he had experienced hate— he had felt remorse, but then also felt like he was on top of the world. Bajikan was overwhelming, and he won't be going back.

He finds the candy on the futon in his spot and picks it up, looking at it before looking over at Ichimatsu, passed out sitting up instead of staying tucked in. He breathes out a sigh of relief, honestly not sure what Ichimatsu had gone through. Seeing him in Superbia worried him, cause that meant Ichimatsu was visiting districts, and that means he could also get in trouble.

But he looked safe. He looked alright.

Karamatsu tiptoes to Ichimatsu and crouches down, placing a firm hand on his shoulder: ]</sub>

Oi, Ichimatsu. You should go to bed.
_{[ He feels.. so bad for abandoning him out of spite. ]}

[ichimyatsu]

[He makes a sound when he's touched that... Honestly, is very much like the trilling, chirp-like sound cats make when they're touched when they're sleeping, and jolts to sit upright and stare blearily at his brother. With everything going on, outside of Acedia he hadn't gotten a lot of real sleep recently, barely finding himself entirely comfortable enough to nap in their quarters with the tension surrounding literally everyone and everything. He'd let his guard down, today though, mostly probably because Nyanko had fallen asleep purring beside him.]

[He takes a moment to focus on Karamatsu and register the words he's spoken, but nearly immediately upon doing so he looks away from him and down, trying to shrug his shoulder loosely out of his grip.]

I'm fine sleeping here.

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ Despite how Ichimatsu mistreats Karamatsu, he feels inclined to smother him still. Especially with their arguing, and especially when he left Ichimatsu by himself when he probably shouldn't have. The reason he did was out of spite— it was because he was just so tired of being thought as something so little and insignificant.

Karamatsu huddles closer, sitting Indian style, inviting himself in Ichimatsu's space. ]</sub>

Ah.. you'll catch a cold. It's chilly in here since the power has been unstable.
_{[ Karamatsu studies him, looking for any traces of abuse or hurt. Karamatsu, himself, has a few bruises, especially around one of his eyes. Ichimatsu probably noticed them in Superbia, but they didn't get to talk. ]}

[ichimyatsu]

[He had, but they didn't talk, and he'd felt too sick with the false confidence the air tried to make him swallow to stick around even if they hadn't argued again. Ichimatsu himself is sporting a handful of scuffs and some minor bruises, but the only real damage is hidden by his sweatshirt. He's fine, but his pursuit of plants got him in a little trouble in Ira and there's a loosely-bandaged set of ragged clawmarks along his side. They'll heal, and he doesn't even plan to bring them to light, because he doesn't need to.]

[He keeps his eyes fixed on the floor.]

I'm warm enough.
