Kaito and I are leaving the restaurant now. How are you holding up?
From: Liala
We're fine. Thanks for sending Lysander. I don't know if I could have gotten through that without someone else there.
From: Liala
I'm still shaking it's sort of hard to hold my phone
From: Rhys
How is Lionel?
From: Liala
Not... too good. He's shut himself in his room.
From: Rhys
Do you want me to come over?
From: Liala
No
From: Liala
I don't think it will do anything to help. The two of you are the same when it comes to panic attacks.
From: Rhys
And it's always a mess
From: Liala
At least I'm not in the hospital this time.
From: Rhys
I count my blessings for that fact constantly, you have no idea.
From: Rhys
Did everything work out?
From: Lionel
Yeah
From: Rhys
How are you?
From: Lionel
Not okay. A bit non-verbal, but texting is ok
From: Rhys
Alright.
From: Rhys
Kaito told me about what happened the other day
From: Lionel
I know.
From: Rhys
I'm disappointed...
From: Lionel
I know
From: Lionel
I fucked up real bad
From: Rhys
No, you didn't
From: Rhys
I'm not disappointed in you, I'm sorry, that was poorly worded. I'm disappointed in this game
From: Rhys
That it forced you into this
From: Lionel
??
From: Rhys
You're a very smart and clever boy, Lionel, and I hate that this game makes you think you have to prove it to us
From: Rhys
To yourself
From: Rhys
And I'm sorry that you felt like you couldn't tell me about any of this until it became an issue
From: Rhys
I've been a terrible brother to you and we've been playing this game to go home but I haven't been looking out for you like I should have been
From: Rhys
Instead you've had to think that this is just another thing you have to keep from me, and from Liala
From: Rhys
And that's not your fault, because I should never have put you in a position or let our relationship as siblings reach a point where you had to keep secrets from us
From: Rhys
So just know that Liala and I are always here, and you don't have to try and prove anything to us (because we already know how brilliant you are), much less alone to ALICE (who are a bunch of entitled ass-hats)
From: Rhys
And I'm not saying this because I want you to suddenly come clean with everything and that it will make us stronger as a family or whatever the fuck else
From: Rhys
I'm saying this because it needs to be said and just something for you to take into consideration
From: Liala
??? WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM I THINK HE'S CRYING
From: Rhys
??? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT LIONEL OR SOMEONE ELSE?
From: Liala
Oh nvm false alarm
From: Liala
He came out of the room but still hasn't said anything but is sitting next to me now so it's all good
From: Liala
I hope your dinner date with Kaito wasn't ruined
From: Rhys
You mean beyond me being completely awkward and nearly having a panic attack in the middle of the restaurant and ALICE making things even more awkward than I manage to?
From: Rhys
Yeah, it went about as well as could be expected.
From: Liala
Lio says 'thanks' after we shared a brief laugh at your expense
From: Rhys
I'm glad I could help
From: Rhys
At least it is a Friday. Go get some sleep if you can. We can do brunch on Sunday
From: Liala
Lio just said something that I'm not repeating via text message but brunch sounds great!!
From: Lionel
I'm also confiscating his phone so he can't text it to you <3 - Lia
From: Rhys
At least I have you to look out for me
From: Lionel
(Okay I promise it wasn’t actually that bad)

Hi-hi everyone! A few of you might know me from Meliora -- Mia Udagawa, at your service. But more of you might recognize me as beloved internet pop star (☆~(ゝ。∂)if I do say so myself) Mis-Informed-Actions!
In a special collaboration with Temple Fusion bar and nightclub, I want to invite you all to an EXCLUSIVE holiday party! Participants and Informants only -- sorry, no unaffiliated friends.
The party will be on the 15th at start as close to 7PM as Kaito and I can manage. It will carry on until our legs can't carry us anymore!!! I'll also perform a small set of holiday songs around 8:30 ᒄ₍⁽ˆ⁰ˆ⁾₎ᒃ♪♬
Drinks will be provided, courtesy of Temple Fusion!
Don't feel obligated to come -- not like we're getting participation points for this after all. Just after a few stressful events, it just sounds like a good chance for you all to hang out and relax with others who are in the know!
Hope to see you there!
- Mia -

????!!!!?! I WISH YOU WOULD CONSULT ME AS YOUR ACCOUNTANT BEFORE OFFERING FREE DRINKS
From: Rhyses Pieces
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY?!
From: Rhyses Pieces
I WOULD LIKE IT IF YOU MADE MONEY. YOU PAY MY COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE MONEY.
From: Rhyses Pieces
I'M IMPLEMENTING A TWO-DRINK MAXIMUM AT COMP
From: Kaito
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TRACK THAT?
From: Rhyses Pieces
BY GETTING YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND THINKING ABOUT IT VERY HARD OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
From: Kaito
okay tru but ouch
