If your own pace doesn't mean sluggishly it should be fine. I don't have anything against practicing together... Before I answer, could you tell me how to send images to someone?
i think i'm just above sluggish. no worries. and yeah. just ... think really hard on the image. and then do what you would do to send a text. like, think of the recipient and then go for it.
[ In the meantime, Hibiki rips a few pages of paper from the journal he got some time ago and tries to focus on shaping the paper. It takes a little while, but the final product looks satisfactory enough.
So now he has to...think of Akira, easy. First, he pictures a crab...okay, that's not how it goes, but a thought of a crab does indeed cross his mind. ]
Can you see it? That is my power, more or less. It's made from paper.
[ akira is forever the crab damsel, so it shall be.
he blinks at the image that's suddenly flashing before his eyes, like a snapshot. oh. it's -- oh. it's paper? that's. akira almost laughs, but he holds his hand in a tiny fist to hide it, even if hibiki can't actually see it. he isn't sure if laughs can be conveyed over the mental texting network, but he doesn't want to offend him. it's not that the power is lame. no, it's actually really cool. it has endless possibilities. it's just... ]
ah... how tragic. i knew it was too good to be true. destiny is being cruel to us, captain.
[ akira what the hell are you talking about - ]
but... it'll be fine. just don't let me hold any of it. you remember when my hands caught on fire? that happens a lot.
Well...I probably haven't told a single joke in my entire life, so I'm definitely not the one to judge.
[ But he's definitely the one to be flustered about the hard feelings one. ]
I did, there was no reason for me to keep it. It wasn't that ha—difficult after all. I shouldn't have taken it in the first place so there's that, too. Please, don't tell me that you'd like to have another look...
[ There's a radio silence from Hibiki for a moment when he carefully ponders about an answer. Should he tell him that it's pointless? Or simply agree? ]
Just please make sure that my fingertips won't catch on fire.
[ Is this a low-key joke or is it not? Who knows. ]
I don't know, you asked about it, so... I'm not, rest assured. And I don't even want to guess what the "wrong idea" is.

like, think of the recipient and then go for it.
[ easy enough, right? ]
1/2
I suppose this is my fate. To be surrounded by sluggish and above sluggish people.
[ Insert a sigh here. ]
I'll get back to you in a while, please bear with me.

Akira-san, what are you talking about?
Oh.
So it's not just when you see a di—
[ Hibiki stops at just the right moment. ]
no subject
what?! of course it's not ... !
why would it be? that's. uh.
no.
no it's when i tell a joke.
[ he's going to die. he knows it. ]
i just didn't want to burn your paper.
it's -- nice.
no subject
[ Someone completely missed the joke. ]
It's fine, I can restore it if I try hard enough. No, not hard...! I didn't mean!!!
[ They're going to die together. ]
no subject
yeah, my jokes aren't always good, they're kinda bad sometimes.
[ wow someone is humble for once. good job, kid. ]
it's fine! i got what you meant. don't worry.
but uh.
did you end up putting it back, by the way?

they're good for the soul.
i'll teach you a few sometime.
[ no, akira, not everyone enjoys your weird sense of humor. please -- ]
why would i want another look-
i was just making sure you weren't still walking around with it.
people would get the, uh, wrong idea.
no subject
Just please make sure that my fingertips won't catch on fire.
[ Is this a low-key joke or is it not? Who knows. ]
I don't know, you asked about it, so...
I'm not, rest assured. And I don't even want to guess what the "wrong idea" is.
no subject
that's the spirit :)
[ fucking emojis, kurusu? no. stop .]
and yeah. i didn't want to have to explain that one, either.
thanks for having my back, captain.
you're pretty okay.
no subject
[ Reports usually don't have emojis so...pardon his ignorance.]
Shouldn't I be the one saying that, though?
Thank you.
no subject
it's ... a smiley face. sideways. tilt your head.
and all right.
we could call it even.
or we can say you owe me one. ;)
[ STOP. ]
no subject
The second one, though...has something gotten into your eye?
[ NAILED IT. ]
no subject
ah. no, that's.
hm. i've failed, haven't i?
i'll do better next time.
... it's a wink, btw.
[ SO DRAMATIC? ]
no subject
I'm not quite sure if I follow.
[ It's better to make sure he understands...last time when he didn't get what Akira meant...we all know how that ended. ]
Work hard, Akira-san ;) ;) ;)
[ He just wanted to try it...but it looks...bad. ]
no subject
... yup. just like that.
see you soon, hibiki.
don't cause too much trouble without me.
[ ... he's so screwed. ]
no subject
How am I causing trouble, Akira?!
...
Take care.
