[ There's a bleached blond teenager lying on what is almost certainly the floor in one of the hallways, long and stringy hair splayed out underneath himself. He's got his communicator pointed down at him, addressing the network at large. ]

Hey! So— space station, love what you're doing with the place, it's got a great "creepy and haunted" feeling to it! Top-fucking-marks for ambiance! Less fond of the clothes, even alarmingly less fond of whatever asshole decided it was funny to leave my my cigarettes but no fucking lighter.

I have no map so I have no idea where the fuck I even am or how big this place is, but the first person to find me and get me a lighter gets an IOU of epic fucking proportions. Payment's negotiable.

[ Okay, there's a difference. Katou doesn't even bother responding to that part, instead raising an eyebrow at the last part. ]

Depends on me how?

[counterfeitheart]

Depends on you because if you piss me off I'm gonna make it harder to find me.

[That was mostly a joke but you know it also wasn't. Kira drags Katou along with him towards his room, opening the door for the two of them to squeeze in.]

And some other shit but we'll get there in a sec. Take a seat and take out a cigarette so I can light it. And you'd better expect to share with me. I've only had one cigarette for the past two fucking months.

[autorejoin]

[ Yeah, he's pretty sharply aware that Kira's not really joking about that, but he sits down. ]

Shit, are cigarettes that hard to find? I'd better make this shit last, then.

[ That being said, he pulls one out his pack— it's still got three-fourths left— and places it loosely in his lips. ]

Sure, I can share.

[counterfeitheart]

Cigarettes are nonexistant. I did have a bunch of weed earlier though. Down to about 3g now, but it was a lot more. I only found it the once though, so yeah. Budget this shit.

[He pulls his jacket off then, setting it down on the ground and then getting in closer to Katou, leaning in before his wings unfurled from his back, a flame dancing in his hand which he raises to the cigarette, trying to force him to just go ahead with the smoke and not think too hard about the wings.]

[autorejoin]

[ Katou does let out a yelp at the sight of the wings, but he closes his eyes and forces himself to light up the cigarette and not focus on them. He is seriously not ready to confront that right now. Once he's taken a drag, some of the tension eases from his shoulders. ]

You're gonna gimme some of that weed, right?

[counterfeitheart]

Of fucking course.

[Even if Katou was being an ass, Kira was so BORED.] The kids here are straightedge as shit, I had to smoke like 5g by myself. They were all drunk after a couple of drinks and it wasn't easy to convince them to smoke a single goddamn puff.

What the fuck is weed good for if you don't have someone to bullshit with?

[He folds his wings up and lets them dissipate as quickly as they appeared, since he didn't really need them anymore.]

[autorejoin]

[ Katou holds out the cigarette to give Kira a chance for a puff— he may not always be good for his word, but he was this time at least. ]

What the fuck, that's so boring. Looks like it's up to us to rescue the entire fucking station ourselves.

[counterfeitheart]

[What a very very good friend. Kira takes a seat next to him and accepts the c cigarette gratefully, just taking a single drag and that feels... so nice. He hands it back then, laughing a little.]

You're such an asshole.

[But he's smiling, though.]

By the way, you're staying in this room with me. Hope you're comfortable.

I'm just kidding, I don't care if you're comfortable and this isn't negotiable.

[autorejoin]

It's how you know it's really me.

[ Would Kira really have him any other way? He's smiling as well. ]

And anyway, I was planning on staying here regardless. It's more convenient than hunting you down any time I want a smoke.

[not here]

[foolishjourney]

[The hall was about to get a lot more disgusting. Minato somehow, right now, could feel it in his bones.

]

[counterfeitheart]

I couldn't mistake you for literally anyone else, ever.

[He wouldn't want him any other way, because that'd be fake as shit. Not that Katou wasn't fake in his own way or anything, but him faking being nice would be... uncomfortable.]

That's what I figured. Also like hit me up on the network if I'm not around, I guess.

[autorejoin]

[ Katou probably doesn't even know how to fake being nice. The very concept is more foreign than an alien space station. ]

I know, it's 'cause I'm so fucking unique. One of a kind!

[ He laughs, and it's only somewhat self-deprecating. ]

Shit, this network's gonna come in really fucking handy.

[ He's gonna shitpost so much. ]

[counterfeitheart]

Thankfully. I don't think we could handle more than one of you, honestly.

[He grinned at that. Honestly, it would be a huge pain to have more than one Katou, but also like. Kira didn't want one less Katou.]

It'll be fun to see. You are going to make a mess.

[autorejoin]

The universe isn't ready for two of me.

[ And two Katous would inevitably hate each other and clash. ]

I already wanna piss off, like.... pretty much everyone else who replied to me? Like, seriously. They all suck.

[ Except maybe Karen? Maybe. ]

[counterfeitheart]

[It's true enough. They would fight until one of them died, absolutely.]

They really do. Bunch of shitheads trying to tell other people what to do. They can fuck off.

[autorejoin]

[ Exactly! Really, just the one is what's best for everyone. ]

Yes! Shit, I knew I could count on you to get it. Fucking whiners, all of 'em. "Blah blah how dare you?"
