[bless this man.]

Yup! I know exactly how to phrase it, too, to make sure everything works out. [so it's overwhelming, a little, but still exciting.]

What about you? Is yours still the same as it was before?

[mukagen]

[ He gives her a thumbs up!! Get what you want, Iris. ]

... Nope. Now that I know Mahito might also get a wish, I'll have to change mine a bit.

[rainbowings]

[ooh...morality leash. not exactly in the way she thinks, but she kind of understands.]

I like Mahito a lot, but that's probably for the best considering he might completely destroy the world. [yikes.] Do you have any idea what his wish might be?

[mukagen]

I don't know it exactly, but I'm sure it has to benefit curses which would be a problem for me and everyone else.

[ He remembers how Mahito worded it and rolls his eyes. ]

If I wish for something that makes sorcerers stronger than sorcerers at all times, it'll be fine or it'll offset whatever Mahito has in mind.

[ Hmm thinking. ]

I was hoping to use it to release myself from the prison box I'm in.

[rainbowings]

[bad.]

But aren't you also a sorcerer? Why wouldn't wishing for something that makes sorcerers stronger also benefit you and help you get out of your prison box? Couldn't you just...I dunno, break it?

[mukagen]

[ ............ ]

So... The one that sealed me in the box is also a sorcerer! Just a bad one, so we call them curse users. I think the problem with me in the box would stay the same.

[ Powering sorcerers means powering those, too. Gojou is thinking this logically, but lmao the canon sure was like fuck you gojou satoru. ]

And the box unfortunately is an ancient cursed item that seals anything in an unescapable pocket dimension. Kind of hard for me to break it from the inside.

[rainbowings]

[you can practically hear her going "what the hell". actually, yeah, she says it under her breath, too.]

Is the box itself in a pocket dimension, too? Or is it still available for anyone to unseal if they have enough power? [canon really did just go fuck you gojou satoru, huh.] Hard doesn't mean impossible. There has to be a way to phrase it to help you and help the world, too. Like...maybe only good sorcerers get more power.

[is that how magic works.]

[mukagen]

Oh, no! So... The box opens up and seals the person into a pocket dimension inside the box. Anyone can unseal it outside! Just open it like normal. I just can't escape it from the inside.

[ gege: gojou satoru will never get out of the box ]

So, yeah, the problem is that a bad guy has the box... Wishing for it to release me would definitely help sorcerers overall since I'm the strongest, but it feels weird to wish that when someone can just release me?

[ Gojou: i want more?? He waves his hand. ]

I'll think on it some more. Let's play this song in full and see how it feels?

[rainbowings]

[what is going on at any time in jjk.]

But what...[okay, you know, she will stop asking. instead, there's a nod as she turns back to the piano.]

Never mind. Let's see how it goes. I'm ready when you are! [take it away, piano man.]

[mukagen]

[ IT'S AN ADULT PROBLEM, IRIS. IT'S OKAY. HE'S RESPONSIBLE ADULT.

Anyway, he plays the tune for her! Here's to hoping it's what they both envisioned with the lyrics, too. ]

[rainbowings]

[she will worry anyway!!

but...music is important. so when gojou plays the tune, she's humming a little, occasionally singing along with little phrases that are half-put together.]

I think it works? [hum.]

[mukagen]

[ He listens as she does that when he plays, swinging his head left and right to the tune.

Nodding, yeah. ]

I think so, too?

[ WHY ARE THEY ASKING THIS LIKE QUESTIONS? ]

[rainbowings]

[they're both indecisive apparently. but she nods anyway.]

Great! I think I can finish up the lyrics tonight with the tune memorized now.

[:3] I really appreciate this. [writing the song, or just spending time with her? yes.]

[mukagen]

Nice! You can send it to me tomorrow. I'm planning to stick around for a bit before going.

[ Cause like. Box. ]

I do, too. I wish we hung out a bit more instead of last minute... But things here were awful? Not as awful as home, but awful.

[rainbowings]

You and me both. I should make sure everybody gets out of here safely, and I think some of the others will be on standby, too. [so gojou can hear the finished product and also stay however long he wants.

but...she shakes her head.]

Things here were totally awful. I tried to make the most of it...really, I did. But it felt like things just kept getting worse and worse until we didn't have another option. So I'm really glad everything's over. Officially.

[mukagen]

You don't want to leave it to the responsible adults?

[ There are ANCIENTS here, Iris, though some of them VORE. ]

Yeah, everything's over and we have maybe a couple of good memories. Some people we don't want to forget and some we want to never meet ever again.

[ Nodding. ]

[rainbowings]

If there was a responsible adult here, I would. [she says this so plainly? no one is responsible!!!]

What about you though? How much of this place do you want to remember and want to forget?

[mukagen]

... An adult wrote the code, you know?

[ POINTS AT HER. POINTS!!!!!!!! ]

I think I would want to forget Mahito doing anything here. Like anything indulgent.

[ He doesn't want to go into detail. ]

[rainbowings]

Mr. Starphase doesn't count, he's like...normal-ish. [that does not help her case!! but it's fine.

also, she looks stricken at the idea of flucking.]

...I don't blame you. Maybe...some things really are just better off left behind. Especially if you have to go back and maybe see him after you get out of the box.

[...look let her believe someday gojou will get out of the box.]

[mukagen]

... That's so funny! I'll tell him you said that.

[ He likes bullying Steven, but anyway he closes his EYES as they have to think about flucking even once. ]

Why did you guys make us room together?

[rainbowings]

Hey! [no gossiping!! she likes steven well enough but wow that's bad? also that's even worse because sure did just remember mahito flucking on gojou's bed.]

It wasn't really an option? When the other room disappeared after Beau and Tamaki died, we didn't know where to put you. We weren't anticipating the whole room to disappear either.

[mukagen]

[ STOP................. NO MORE FLUCKING. ]

Wouldn't we have swapped roommates? I don't know. Give me anyone else. I could have kept Fukuda—I'd even be fine with Vlad.

[rainbowings]

Is Mahito really worse than Mr. Masters?

[she doesn't like fukuda much either but she's being generous.]

[mukagen]

Well.

He did the thing in my bed.

[ we have to come back i see ]

[rainbowings]

[. . .]

There are two beds in each room. [didn't she say this to him literally earlier this same day. now this is a question of why is mahito so rude?]

You could have asked one of us for a swap and we might've been able to do that.
