Forward-dated to 4th Oct because I’m impatient. Text; un: ushiromiya_eva

[onesurvived]

[Eva was… well, it was safe to say she wasn’t coping in the slightest with the anniversary of that awful family conference on Rokkenjima rolling around. The day she lost everyone she cared for.

And perhaps it was for that reason that she was paranoidly fearful that those she cared for in this world were okay. She couldn’t really go out right now, given she’d been stuck in her Arachne form since the start of the week, but she could at least message him, right?

It was some horribly early hour when Jean would receive her text; ]

Everything okay? It’s been a little while, you’re keeping yourself safe, right?

forward dating for the win

[rustyhonesty]

[This is definitely not something he expected. Not at this hour and so suddenly.]

Everything's fine and yeah, I have been.

Is something wrong?

[onesurvived]

[That sure was a loaded question. He saw right through her, did he?]

I just had to make sure, you know? It's important.

Then again if anything did happen, you're probably a better shot than I am, right?

[He'd be able to look after himself...wouldn't he?]

[rustyhonesty]

You did train with me for quite a while, so you should know how good I am.

Should I be worried? Do you need company?

[onesurvived]

[Hey, it was longer ago for her than it was for him! But still; ]

I remember.

Spiders don't bother you, right? I can't exactly promise I'll be the best company, but if you're offering?

[rustyhonesty]

[Look, sometimes he forgets.

Sometimes he's also very confused.]

They don't. Did you get a pet spider or something?

[onesurvived]

So you remember those curses that were going around? The ones that came out the Underground Mall.

Turns out that dying, going back home for literal decades and coming back isn't enough to get rid of one.

[If anything, her Arachne curse was even more prevalent since her revival.]

[rustyhonesty]

Oh. Yeah, I remember hearing about those.

As long as you're not awkward about me seeing you as half a spider, I won't be spooked either.

[onesurvived]

It's fine, really. It's going to be awkward whatever happens, but I'm frankly too exhausted to care right now.

[Which...probably went a long way to showing just how worn her emotions were at that point.]

[rustyhonesty]

Alright. If you give me your address I can be there soon.

> Action!

[onesurvived]

[She'll send her address, and then settle down with a pillow in her arms. It was hard to get comfortable on a sofa designed for humans with her spider-like lower body... but she did what she could. Like everything else in the apartment, it was covered in creepy red spider-webs, ones she had little energy to clean. She hadn't even been bothered to do her hair up this morning, letting it hang long and messy and tangled.

By the time Jean arrived, her Meowscarada skipped to the door to let him in, giving a chirp of greeting. And once he entered, Eva glanced over to him with sore, red eyes.]

Hey. ...Sorry, the place is a mess, but make yourself comfortable.

[rustyhonesty]

[Well this wasn't what he was expecting, even if she warned him. Jean does greet Meowscarada as normal as he wnters.]

I guess you've been having a rough time.

[Probably an understatement. But Jean does find himself a good, clean spot to sit in.]
