[Placeholder need to finish a thread first]

[temperedinpride]

[Well he's knocking.]

Re: [Placeholder need to finish a thread first]

[time5kip]

Thank you for coming. Sit down please.

Re: [Placeholder need to finish a thread first]

[temperedinpride]

[He does not sit.]

Good news, I presume?

Re: [Placeholder need to finish a thread first]

[time5kip]

Depends on your perspective on it.

I'm graduating.

[temperedinpride]

[His voice is a little too calm.]

That is excellent news of course. May I ask which deal you are taking?

[time5kip]

Hell.

I don't trust either of them, but looking at both offers, the latter allows me more freedom to do shit on my own.

[temperedinpride]

[He takes his arm.]

Shall we discuss it elsewhere?

[childeishly]

[ ✅ read. ]

[ KNOCKING. ]

[time5kip]

[ coming to open the door for him ]

There you are. Sit down please.

[childeishly]

[ he is already bristled the moment he walks in. ]

When did you plan on telling me?

[time5kip]

I see news travel fast.

[childeishly]

I spoke to Hades.

[time5kip]

That saves some trouble.

But now I don't know what to say.

[childeishly]

Are you taking Hell's Graduation plan too?

[time5kip]

That's the idea. I'm thinking it's the best way to obtain everything we want.

Are you okay?

[childeishly]

I... had a feeling. And at least that way you'll still be together. [ and the both of them can still come visit. ]

I'm fine. [ he's not fine. ]

[time5kip]

That's the idea.

And maybe you'll join us soon enough too.

[childeishly]

I... I don't know. I haven't ever talked about what I'm doing with Zhongli Xiansheng and Scaramouche. [ not in specifics. it's just... go back to teyvat, and hope he can meet up with scara at some point, since he can't convince him to go back with him. ]

[ childe forces his expression into something neutral, though he really wants to frown. ] What's your wish going to be? Can you... say?

[time5kip]

I'm not sure about the rules on that actually. So I'd keep that for myself just in case.

... You know what, let's go to my room.

[childeishly]

[ nods and just follows five. ]

[time5kip]

[ once they are in his room he will sit on his bed and pat the spot next to him ]

I can't really say goodbye to you properly in this form but, well. I'm going to stay in touch as much as possible, Caeli. I promise you.

[childeishly]

And how do you intend to do that? I don't see many graduates around here. [ promises mean a lot to him, five, be careful... ]

[time5kip]

I'll send you fanmail if I must.

I did say as much as possible. But even beyond that, you won't be here forever and we still need to fix your condition.

[childeishly]

I know... but I'm not leaving without Zhongli Xiansheng and Scaramouche, and it may be some time before we're all offered a graduation. I'm not accepting jack shit until they're both given the same damn thing.

But... alright. And if you're going to be in hell, then you better come visit.

[time5kip]

I will. I might even end up running a game here and there.

[ he's going to lean in to kiss his cheek ]

I'm not in the habit of abandoning people I love.

[childeishly]

It's not going to be a kissing game, I hope... [ he can deal with a killing game, tbh. ]

[ childe snakes an arm around five's middle and holds him there, frowning. ] I... I know. I'm going to miss you, sensei. [ turns, setting his head on his shoulder and shutting his eyes. ] I don't want you to go. [ and he knows that's incredibly selfish. ] I'm losing you and Hades and in your place I'm getting one of my asshole coworkers.

[time5kip]

Not unless I get to kiss you for it.

[ keeping his arms around him too, just holding him there ]

The good news is that you just got a new punching bag.

[childeishly]

I'd be alright with that.

And it's not that simple. He's somebody close to Scaramouche... though I definitely want to deck him in the face.

[chasseurdebeaute]

What seems to be so urgent, Monsieur Acerbe?

[time5kip]

I'm graduating.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Oh dear, so soon?

[time5kip]

I've been here for a while so I wouldn't consider it too soon. But that does mean I'm leaving Taisho and, well. I'd like to make sure things are in order before I do.

[chasseurdebeaute]

I have not had the opportunity to admire you nearly enough! But you seem pleased, motivated, despite natural reservations, so I shall congratulate you dear Five. What are you concerned about leaving behind? Let me alleviate your fears.

[time5kip]

Well. Taisho's just as much of a trashfire as my family is so I'd like to make sure you guys will be fine.

Not that I was a particular influence on the Unit or anything like that, but when I got here Taisho wasn't exactly as easy going as now. There was a lot of internal conflict and the production might decide to put wildly different personalities for the drama again, so.

Make sure to communicate openly whenever possible and try to decide things together rather than scream at each other.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Oh my, how doting, I will take your cautioning to heart! I don't believe there will be any trouble between myself and the others, at least--our Natsume especially. And should any wild personalities be added to our midst, I'm certain it will be exciting!

[time5kip]

Good. Keep the attitude. I don't think the other Units want Taisho to be as explosive as it used to be either.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Fufu, a little too lively for their tastes? I don't mind a bit of competition.

[firstworldproblem]

[He's probably with him in his room.]

Any last requests?

[time5kip]

Honestly, I don't know. I mean. We're sticking together in any case, so it's a matter of sorting things out with everyone else.

And I have no idea how to go about that.

[firstworldproblem]

Honesty seems the best policy.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Oh no he can probably guess, after Emet. So when he steps into their room, he's looking a bit meek for a Vergil.]

...What is it?

[time5kip]

I'm graduating.

[auguryofinnocence]

I thought so.

I mean, that is a good thing. So, congratulations...

[time5kip]

You don't have to say it's a good thing, I've been through graduations on the other end of the deal and it sucks.

[auguryofinnocence]

But it is a good thing for you. Especially if that means you're leaving with Hades. You don't have to be split up.

[time5kip]

That's the plan. I would have lost it already otherwise.

That said ... I'm not excited about the idea of leaving you behind.

[auguryofinnocence]

...Neither am I. But surely they won't have any interest in me for much longer. Without you two, Lahabrea and I are going to end up doing nothing but sitting in here.

[tradesecret]

Hello? I'm here.
