Hey, this is the inbox of Kozume Kenma! I'm probably not here!
Leave a message and I'll text back when I cat. Probably pretty quickly.

Kenma suddenly locked in with laser focus

[anxiouscat]

I probably will, it gets boring around here when things aren't going crazy.

Can Kel bake pies?

he has priorities

[photographists]

I can ask! Is there any kind that you like in particular? ◕ ‿ ◕❀

[anxiouscat]

I really like...

Apple Pie.

[ An astute figure may remember, that's the name of the arcade. Has Basil figured out that it's Kenma's arcade yet? ]

[photographists]

So do I! I can ask Kel to make one for you.

Ah, but that's the name of the arcade too, isn't it?

( That's a pretty strange coincidence... Huh. )

[anxiouscat]

That would be really nice...

And yeah, it is.

[ He does not elaborate. ]

[photographists]

Is it just a coincidence...?

[anxiouscat]

Hmm?

No, Appl3 Pi is one of the usernames I use for retro game highscores.

[photographists]

( Gosh, he hopes that this isn't a silly question. )

Oh! Is
The arcade yours?

[anxiouscat]

Oh.

Yeah, I brought it in a couple months ago.
I think we hadn't met then.

[photographists]

We hadn't, but

That's really amazing, Kenma.

You weren't nervous to open your own business...?

[anxiouscat]

It is?

Kindof... a little. I wanted a bunch of games to play, and I don't really mind if other people want to play them too...

So this way I don't have to invite people over all the time. It made more sense than putting them all in the house.

[photographists]

That's really kind... You're a nice person, Kenma.

The things you love feel a lot more special when you have someone to share them with, I think.

[anxiouscat]

Mmmh... I guess. To some people...

That sounds right. I really like volleyball, but if I wasn't playing with my friends I probably would have just watched it.

What kind of things... do you love?

[photographists]

You play volleyball, too? I had no idea... Have you been able to play since you got here?

Ah, well... I really like flowers a lot. And, Aubrey and Kel have both said I should start taking pictures again... I used to really love doing that.

[anxiouscat]

Not really... you need a lot of players for indoor... I think there was a beach court set up once?

Flowers makes sense... I didn't know you were into photography.
Is the weird phone camera we have enough for that?

[photographists]

That's nice that you were able to play. Are there friends from your home here, too?

The camera I had at home was really nice. It was the kind that'd print out polaroids as soon as you took the picture. I really just liked taking pictures of my friends. There's something really nice about being able to capture a special moment that you share with someone.

But, I haven't really used the one on the phone. Sunny took one with me, but, it's not really the same.

( He usually.... doesn't open up very much to others, but Kenma's someone he feels comfortable talking to. Maybe the time they spent beforehand helped... He doesn't remember the time when they had met when they were younger very well, but he remembers it being a nice memory. )

[anxiouscat]

Just one, the other left a long time ago. We weren't really friends to start... but I guess we kindof got there, later.

Oh... Right. I wonder if you could get one like that here.

[ He's thinking about it, at the very least.

That time as kids together... did kindof a lot for him, even if they've mostly had casual interactions. It's small, a bit of vulnerability. ]

... Maybe we can... Take some photos together soon. If we can find a nice camera for you.

[photographists]

I think that this world... even though it can be really scary at times, it brings a lot of people together. I hope that you can see them again soon...

... Ah, I don't know. It's been hard to really think about doing it again, but... I think I'd really like to try, if it means that I can take some with a friend again.

I could use my shards for it.

[anxiouscat]

Mmmh, I think that's... maybe it's purpose? Or part of it.

If Vaeros wanted us to make wishes... he needs us to want things, for ourselves and others. It's strange... but I guess some good came from it too.

♥

If you do, let me know~ I have plenty of spare shards anyway, too.

[ Turns out he's pretty active? And the business helps. ]

[photographists]

I think so, too... At least, I'm glad that I could make the friends I have here.

And... I'm glad that I could meet you too, Kenma.

Well... I appreciate it, but you should keep your shards for you! I know how important they are. I have a lot of shards.

[anxiouscat]

I'm glad I met you too.

Oh... that makes both of us then. I don't really need a lot these days so I've just been stockpiling.
Having a business helped too I think.

[photographists]

( 〃．．)

That's good to know... Kel asked if we could open a business, so I think it'll make him happy if he can use to get more for others here.

[anxiouscat]

Mmmh- Once you've got your home sorted there's not much else to do for it, I think. So it's nice to get stuff for people you like.

Anyway, uhm. This has been nice. I'll chat to you later?

[photographists]

I think so, too.

... It was really nice. Uhm... I like talking to you. I'll see you later. (/ω＼)

[anxiouscat]

Be safe. ♥
Oh, and let me know if you're heading to the arcade.
