004 ⊗ [Video] January 26th, Morning

[pishirogane]

[Naoto making an address to the network. The doctors will not be pleased since she's supposed to be resting, but this is necessary]

To those who wish to pay their final respects, a memorial service for Yosuke Hanamura with be held January 30th at 3 PM at the church. Thank you.

[Locked to Karkat, Tezeri, Dojima, Shin, Minako]

When the service concludes and his body has been transported to the crematorium, I need to speak with the five of you. It concerns the matters of Yosuke-senpai's belongings. I wouldn't call it a will, but he's left behind a note specifying each of you.

(OOC: Just going to leave this again.)

[He nodded, tried not to look so damn worn out.]

Thanks, Naoto-kun.

[The doctors better not give you shit for this.]

Got somethin' that still needs doing before?

[Video]

[pishirogane]

No, thank you, Kanji-kun for getting the casket and urn.

[She doesn't understand why that had been so difficult again.]

... What do you propose we should do with the ashes?

[He scratched a temple, averting his eyes as he recalled what was kept at the textile shop in one of the spare rooms.]

Could always set up a shrine to keep everything. Someplace accessible, for those who wanna visit after everything's said n' done.

[timelessummoner]

I will be there.

[He has been trying not to think about what happened to Yosuke... But you can only ignore it for so long.]

[pishirogane]

... Thank you, Kuzunoha-san.

[He doesn't have to RSVP or anything, but... what else is there to say really.]

[timelessummoner]

...Are you going to be alright?

[Karkat was more than a day late responding to this because Australia.]

WHOA, SERIOUSLY?

I MEAN, THAT'S FINE, JUST

LET ME KNOW WHEN THAT'S OVER AND DONE WITH, I GUESS.

[text - private]

[pishirogane]

If that is what you want then very well.

[text - private]

[dungenessmaster]

[suddenly feeling like he should explain himself.]

LIKE I'D KNOW WHAT TO DO AT AN ALIEN CORPSE PARTY ANYWAY.

JUST TELL ME WHEN YOU WANT TO MEET, THOUGH I GUESS I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING HE'D LEAVE.

IS THAT NORMAL?

[scalemate]

[What. She barely even knew Yosuke. This is ridiculously weird to her?]

M3?
4R3 YOU SUR3 >:?

[text; locked]

[pishirogane]

Yes. You are closely acquainted with Karkat after all.

[No, she did not do any information digging... maybe.]

[text; locked]

[scalemate]

[Creeper! And oh that... Still makes no sense.]

WH4T3V3R YOU S4Y!
WHO 4R3 YOU 4NYW4Y?

[Minato sets down a saucer on the hospital bed tray and follows up with a cup of tea.] Some refreshment, Naoto-dono..? [He's standing straight beside the bed with a white cloth draped over an arm.]

[Action]

[pishirogane]

Ah, thank y-- dono?

[She gives him a confused stare. What? Why 'dono' suddenly?] ... Arisato-san? [Is something going on?]

[Action]

[socialbutterfly]

[Minato just bows. Formally. In coattails.] What about sugar, Naoto-dono?

[bass_instincts]

... He left a note?

[private]

[pishirogane]

Yes, he did.

[tauborn]

I didn't know Hanamura-san, but... are you okay, Naoto?

[Normally, he wouldn't ask a person such a stupid question. The death of a friend didn't leave a person 'okay.' But it's been a few days since the initial announcement, and Naoto is still closed like a book someone hid on the back shelf of an enormous library.

He's not planning on attending the funeral, unless he's there accompanying the living.]

[video]

[pishirogane]

I'm fine, Takuto-kun.

[She will be anyway. Death isn't an unfamiliar subject; the death of a friend, however, is. While she is recovering, it's slowly and Kanji and Minato are helping fortunately.]

[thewarisover]

We'll be there.

[He and Dojima, he means.]

video;

[pishirogane]

We'll see you Saturday then.

... Has Dojima-san been well? [She hasn't seen him lately]

[private][forever voice]

[wildcardette]

.... He did?

[private][forever voice]

[pishirogane]

Yes, he did.

[smokersona]

[ A little late, considering, but he hasn't been bothering with the network lately. Too much news. Too much to think about. Too many absences to take note of.

He sounds very weary when he speaks. ]

All right. I'll be there.

audio;

[pishirogane]

Mustang-san has informed me. Thank you.

[A pause]

... How have you been fairing, Dojima-san?
