[OPEN MINGLE: SEPT 8-16]

[oneandmikleonly]

[So what are you up to as we pass out of the first hectic week of September and into the second? Calm strolls with alien elephants or fast swims with alien sealife? Flashing your sunglasses at crime scenes? Dreaming and building dreams? Waking and building...buildings? There's always a lot to do here, whether it's formal missions or just shenanigans with friends.

Zenning out is fine too!]

[Well, it wasn't like everyone didn't know the flip floppiness of Souda's loyalties and opinions.]

That? It's nothing. You don't have to worry about it.

[He wasn't telling anyone, other than Valentine, and Hinata could continue thinking it was a lie.]

[soulfriend]

Hey, don't be like that! I thought we had a truce! You brought it up . . . it's really gonna bug me now if you don't spill!

[despairing_hope]

Oh just a small project, but it's not really important. It's also impossible.

But I suppose I could be a little fair. If you can figure it out, I'll share the details. You can even ask for someone to help you.

[soulfriend]

Are you jerkin' me around here? If you're serious, you're on! I'll definitely figure it out!

[despairing_hope]

I'm very serious! I'll give you three days even, to solve it. I'll give you a hint too. You can ask Hinata kun for help.

[He felt confident this would fail, but, part of him wanted to see if maybe it wouldn't.]

[soulfriend]

You damn well better give me a hint . . . it's gonna be impossible startin' from nothing. You've gotta give me somethin' to go on! All right, I'm ready! Bring it on, Komaeda!

[He's starting to get a little pumped, even. This will surely end well.]

[despairing_hope]

There are two people here who know. Hinata kun might be one of them.

That is your hint.

[soulfriend]

Huh . . . ? You're joking, right? That's all I get? He might be one of 'em?

[despairing_hope]

Considering I gave you a lead at all beyond two people know is already being extremely generous. But fine.

I also gave a task to Tsumiki san, it's potentially related.

Now I've made it really easy if you want to work hard enough.

[soulfriend]

Tch. Fine, I'll take it! Smug bastard . . . I'm not gonna let you look down on me. You're gonna eat your words!

[despairing_hope]

I'll consider it if you manage to find out anything.
