I've never met someone who's never made a mistake - But I meet fewer people who actively try to leave things better than they find it. So I think that does count for something very special. Are there indeed nine of you in the Mighty Nein?
Excellent!! Oh, I'd hate for your school days to be dull while you're here. Hopefully the Dorm Heads will be able to join you all soon so we can enjoy the company too.
You think you can crush me, Beauregard?! Even if I'm very excited that you're enjoying the Game Room, now I feel like my pride is on the line... You're on!
Yeah he sent them to me, it was dope I like him He seems like he's maybe a bit like Caleb where he's standoffish but really great once you get to know him
Hehe, I suppose that does make sense why they're in the same Dorm then. Luke is sweet - he's younger, but I think that he really does have a lot of wisdom for his age at times. Certainly more than I had then. Is Caleb standoffish? Thus far I agree with you he's only great! He seems very kind when he speaks to me.
Hahaha yeah it's fine it wasn't real jail as much as just my dad trying to scare me into behaving I was a shitty teenager and I broke into a lot of places and did a lot of shit I'm not crazy proud of But also fuck him so
[there's a pause.]
Yeah I really do I've gotten used to being around them all the time and I feel off balance when they're not here You never realize how much you miss people until they're not around to make dick jokes with
Oh! Yes - to borrow your own word, fuck that guy! That's always the worst. I was almost sent away as punishment too. Even if it's with good intentions, how can it feel like anything but the most insulting and horrifying thing?
Oh... I see. I'm sorry, Beauregard. I hope that you'll be able to see them again soon. I think Crow might enjoy that type of humor? Kon could? Or - I don't know how good at it I'd be, but if it'd make you feel more at home... I can make an attempt.... I know that it's about more than just the jokes but - I'm not fond of the feeling of missing someone either.
I normally don't but the situation felt appropriate... This may be bold of me but I have a bone to pick with anyone who's hurt you.
And... to not possess a love that you thought you'd always have - When something isn't as unconditional as it first seems... It feels like a betrayal, doesn't it? I agree. It feels... bad. I wish you didn't have to feel that.
But oh Beauregard, of course I'm going to hang out with you! We have a DDR match scheduled, don't we? Let's do a bunch of fun things to make up for lost time.
[she's not sure she wants to talk about it over text, but all of that does ring very true. she swallows kind of hard, and then switches to actual text rather than speaking. just leaves all that there.]
We do Looking forward to it
I'm going to let you get back to your work for now but thanks for explainin some stuff to me
It was a pleasure speaking to you, Beauregard. I'm sorry if some rather unhappy things got brought up - but I appreciate your openness. When we meet in person, I promise I'll return it entirely. And I hope you'll allow me the pleasure of greeting you with a big hug. I'd rather like to give you one now but - well, soon. Take care until then.

This seems misleading.

Nein means no in Zemnian so it's basically the big nope
Points to my eyes points to yours
no subject
That is funny - the Big Nope Mercenary Band!
I don't know much about you and your friends, yet that sounds like it suits you well.
Oh!! You're using one of Luke's stickers!
He's a very endearing young man, isn't he?
no subject
I like him

no subject
Hey I'm betting the dude hasn't been to jail so he's doing better than I was
Caleb's
Not as bad as he used to be
He's figured a lot of shit out and I'm kind of proud of him for it
no subject
You went to jail when you were 16, Beauregard?! For what?
Is that alright to ask?
Is that so...
It truly sounds like you're all quite close. That's sweet.
Do you miss the rest of your friends while you're here?

I didn't know you COULD swear, nice
Yeah I don't know it felt
Bad I guess
Like you always think parents are supposed to be behind you the whole way but then they just aren't.
[hm. she just sort of stares down at her phone for a bit, and then:]
Nah you're busy but I appreciate it
I'll talk to both of them and see
You owe me hanging out when you're not busy anyway that can be enough
