Bad timing again!

Hello, Phoenix-san. How have things been? I hope you haven't had too much trouble with anything.

She has no idea.

About a week after Shido's ship...

[gorobo]

Allow me to be perfectly clear before I say anything else: I am still mad at you. I do not forgive you, or anyone else involved with the operation. It was unpleasant, to say the least, and a violation of my very mind. It continues to be so, and I am unsure if it will ever stop feeling like that. As I have come to understand, you have gone through something similar in your own universe, before you died, so I'm certain you know why I cannot simply forgive and forget.

However.

Our last interaction ended regrettably, not in the least because I was unable to control my emotions. I should not have called in a favor, only to then berate you for doing exactly as I asked. That was irrational on my side, and certainly not helped when Morgana butted in.

Now that I have had time to think, I suppose I am grateful that Shido's bug is gone, in part thanks to your plan. I understand that you, as well as the others, were trying to help me.

This does not take away that I was deceived, cornered, and was hacked like a common computer. Regardless of what Futaba has said, her files feel like an intrusion. A thorn I am unable to remove, so to speak. I cannot trust that they won't be exploited at one point or another. Had I had the choice, I would've liked to know what was going to happen, even though it was impossible. My luck, isn't it?

I cannot blame you, or any of the others, for doing what you did. I was dangerous, and I needed to be dealt with, for the good of everyone here. For my own good. I cannot say it has not felt good to be in charge of my own actions again, but I can only wonder how long it will last. I am wary to trust anything done to me by outsiders.

It has not been a pleasant two weeks for me, but I figured I owed you a message regarding what happened.

That is all.

[Greetings, Phoenix. Goro has got your number from this post. Aren't you delighted?]

Hello, Phoenix. I'm sorry if this is an imposition. I'm a recent arrival, also a Goro Akechi, and I was wondering if I might ask you a couple of things.

First of all, are you still organising runs of Tartarus?

Do you have any food sensitivities due to being a bird?

This is Shrike, by the way.

Phoenix-san, have you watched TV recently? The Gorbs are singing in a musical! It's actually quite cute.

I wonder what it's like living in a musical sometimes, being able to sing about your passions and problems...

[gorobo]

Phoenix. Tell me you didn't give a gun to a child version of Futaba.

I saw your message on the network, Phoenix.

It seems like Dove didn't really know what to say, but it seems like it may have left him thinking. In truth, he spent many minutes writing multiple sentences, multiple messages, trying to say something, but each time he found himself erasing it...

We're rather similar, aren't we? At least, in some regards.

After Briar and Dove met Maruki

[tricksterviolet]

Phoenix-san, something just happened, and I thought you might be the best person to talk to about it... Do you remember our talk about Dr. Maruki?

A little after Phoenix talked on the network

[gorobo]

Did you at least give as good as you got?

Get well soon, by the way.

[Phoenix has talked about how this was coming, sure, but he didn't actually realize he could get that hurt.]

[shakenit]

There's something that came up here the other day that I could stand to talk to someone about, if you'd be willing. I can bring lunch.
