Hey, you've reached the super cool mail of Leon Kuwata! I'm probably off doing something really awesome, too bad you missed me! But leave a message and I'll get back to you later to tell you all about it.

Comments

Evening of 8/24 - 1/idk.

[ardent]

[Well, Kuwata, you've had four days of quiet, because Ishimaru has been preoccupied with other things; now that they're back in Violet, Celes is about as settled in as he can ensure she's going to be, and perhaps most importantly he's had some time to think about what he's going to say. What he needs to say, if he's going to be entirely honest.

All right, so let's just...oh, voicemail. That's new.]

2/idek

[ardent]

[...WHAT.]

Kuwata-kun, how was that at all necessary?! You -

[...he cuts himself off then, the sound strange and vaguely strangled; there's a few seconds of crackling silence before he hangs up.]

3/god I'm sorry

[ardent]

...I apologize for the previous message, as that wasn't the best way to...start, with what I want to say. I think that we need to talk, and as such you should really just -

[...just...just...

...ugh. Hanging up again, hold on.]

4/I am so very sorry

[ardent]

Listen, I'm not very good at apologizing!! Give me a few minutes to prepare something and I'll get back to you!!

5/all this elegance and social grace right here

[ardent]

[Okay. Let's try this again. It's easier to do this via text, where he can at least look at it and delete whatever's blatantly wrong before he sends it. There's a chance that Kuwata will delete everything before he reads it, but at least he tried.]

Kuwata-kun,

I wanted to apologize to you for what happened the other day. You're right, of course, in what you said about intent being important. I understand that, I just wasn't able to express it properly at that point. A few here have said that I'm bad at talking to people, and I'll admit that I don't always say what it is that I want to say. I don't know why; it's just how things are. But that's no excuse, and my behavior was deplorable.

I'm sorry.

6/tact and composure let me tell you

[ardent]

[And after that note of finality, he...is not done yet, hang on. He knows he should just have left that there, but this is going to bother him.]

I understand if you don't want to forgive me, or any of us really, for what happened during the first trial. But it's come up a few times here, in discussion among ourselves. What happened to you, I mean.

We didn't want to vote for you. None of us wanted to see you die. We just felt that we didn't have any other choice.

7/7 okay I think we're done now

[ardent]

I won't bother you beyond this, should you not want to talk, but I guess I should apologize for all of this just now, too. Whatever you want to consider this.

It's all right if you want nothing to do with me, I just ask that you check in with us once in a while. I don't know if you're coming toward Violet City or not, but it was good that you arrived with Hagakure-kun. If you're with him now, stay close to him. He's a good person.

Take care of yourself, and please stay safe.

text; nearer the evening of 12/13/13

[lullabytes]

I've arrived in Violet, Kuwata-senpai.

[ She borrowed a fire horse, so some of the travel time was shaved off.

... ]

I hope you're doing well.

[ ...She then spends about ten minutes composing the following, since that's what people do with phone messages. She thinks. ]

[ An oddish. Isn't it cute? ]

Text

[struck_out]

[Holy crap, that is cute!! Sure it takes him awhile to recognize it, but thankfully he happened to have seen one in a Christmas commercial earlier in the day.]

Yo Nanami-san! I'm about to reach Violet too. I had some stuff to take care off at the house, but I'll definitely be there by tomorrow. ;)

That's an oddish isn't it? lol it's very cute. XD

Text

[lullabytes]

[ A reply!! And with emoticons.

She will have to up her emoticon game. Maybe she should study them or something. ]

We'll stay at the hotel then, probably. For camping, it's a little cold. I hope the things you had to take care of went well, and that your trip has been pleasant.

Right. I did my best to make it look correct.

[ ........ ]

:)

[struck_out]

Eh it wasn't too bad. The guys just wanted to talk about somethin', an' we got it all sorted out before I left. Don't worry about it!

I've seen this kinda stuff online before, but this is the first time I'm gettin' one! Can you do other Pokemon? Like...Pikachu?

if he gets there on the 14th, i think if flying they'd get back the night of the 14th? :|a

[lullabytes]

Yes!

[gardentrainer]

Hi Leon! Look what I got from this Stantler I caught. Well, I caught a Stantler and instead of a Stantler, I got a package instead! He was so cute though. [:( She wanted to keep the Stantler. But she uses the video recording to show...a guitar that obviously cannot be normally played by one person on their own.] I got my Eclectic Bass though! I think it'll be handier to teach you now that I can give you visuals too.

I look forward to future lessons!

Also, Merry Christmas! I don't know if you celebrate it. I hope your day is good though! Don't get sick. It's been really cold.

Video

[struck_out]

Oh man, that's one sweet axe!! An' you got it when you caught Rudolph? Man, I better try an' catch one; if I'm lucky I might get some of my punk CDs from home! These jingles are drivin' me nuts; what I need is some good ol' fashion screamin' an' fist pumpin'!

I can't wait to hear you play this. It looks fuckin' awesome. When are you reachin' Goldenrod? Let me know stat.

Merry Christmas to you too Jade. We're having a party at my house, an' it's gonna be a blast. Good food, cheap wine an' all the Christmas presents! Are you doin' any celebratin' yourself?

Video

[gardentrainer]

Yes. I kind of wish I got to keep him though. He was cute, but Ido really like that I got my bass back. I can't conjure enough hands here to play it at its full capacity though. [Dream her could shred on this like nuts.]

I'm not sure yet! Maybe later in January. I want to spend my Holidays here with my friends. It'll be the first time I got to spend the Holidays with so many people. [She enjoyed spending it with John, Davesprite, and the others, but it wasn't quite the same when you didn't have all your friends around.]

We are! I don't think it's as extensive as your party, but we're doing a lot. Maybe we'll have a small party. I'm glad you're having a lot of fun! Holidays are meant to be enjoyable, right?

[struck_out]

...I was gonna ask what you mean by 'conjurin' hands', but I'm guessin' it's some other alternate world special powers thing that's not in mine so I'll jus' take it as exactly what you said.

[He's met too many people from different worlds and each conversation was a headache so yeah, not gonna ask anymore thanks.]

Parties are only parties when ya celebrate them with friends! Where are you at now?

[gardentrainer]

Haha, I guess that would be kind of weird to most people. If it helps any, my dreamself could do it! So I guess anything is possible when you're dreaming.

I'm in Ecruteak with my friends! We're celebrating together. I feel bad because I couldn't really get them anything, but I'm sure they have things for me.

Happy Bloobentine's Day.]

[Ring ring ring bananaphone.]

Hey Walter, what the hell is this thing you dumped in my PC? It's scarin' Mac!

Voice

[beholdmydemons]

Some kind of slug!

[...He sounds way too enthused about that.] Damned peculiar, isn't it?

[struck_out]

...dude. You sound waaaaay too excited over a slug. It's probably some kinda Slug Pokemon.

[lullabytes]

[ More or less on time unlike Lucy Nanami will deposit some chocolates - for which she apparently found some sort of mold tray with buneary shapes - into Leon's account.

There's also a Valentine's card featuring a bunch of Clefairy on...a rocket ship. That's not very Valentines-day-ish, Nanami...Nanami's signature is a little haphazard and childish, but easy to read. ]

Voice

[struck_out]

[Well, he certainly wasn't expecting to get anything this Valentine's Day. He calls back the moment he finds out about the chocolates, some time in the late afternoon.]

Hey Nanami-san, I got your chocolates! Thanks, they're really sweet and cute. It's almost hard to eat'em!

Voice

[lullabytes]

I'm glad you like them. Tsumiki-san taught me how to do it over video...so I hope they're good.

[ SHE TRIED REALLY HARD...thankfully she also followed instructions very well, so they should be edible at the very least. Her classmates will probably not die because of this experiment in festivity. ]

[struck_out]

They are a little too sweet so maybe less sugar next time? Also for future reference, I like dark chocolates!

How about you? What kinda chocolates do you like Nanami-san?
