[WOW, amazing, this isn't Bruce Wayne pretending to be his son. This text sounds so different!! Like a tiny turd child.]

A community board is now established in the center of town to promote the accessibility of important information. Try not to clog it with anything useless or confusing for new people.

Anyone tampering unnecessarily or destroying the board will answer to me.

[Those visiting the board will see it has already been decorated with a map of Chroma and a garden list, but most of the space on the front and back is left empty for others to adorn it with whatever they would like.]

[.... Yeah he doesn't buy that.

He also doesn't buy the "anything", but you know... he'll give Damian that one.]

It's a deal. I'll try not to do anything too stupid with the notice board.

How have you been lately anyway? Now that the sirens are all done and taken care of... are you doing okay?

[bittybat]

[NO MINATO DON'T ASK HOW HE IS DOING not publically not even at all period]

I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?

[Thankfully, it's easier to handle when he doesn't have someone looking him in the face.]

[messianic]

[He's GONNA.]

Because you were kidnapped by sirens...?

[HE NOTICED.]

That's a pretty good reason to need some recovery time. I'm glad that you're doing better now though.

[bittybat]

I wasn't kidnapped, I was only a prisoner. I went voluntarily because they took Jon. [Does this matter, DaMIAN?? No, it doesn't.] I've survived worse. This place gave me an item which helped recovery.

[messianic]

[That doesn't really help... He also wasn't talking about physically, but it's fine. Damian is Like That.]

I see... is your friend okay too?

[bittybat]

He's okay. [Because he's thankfully indestructible pretty much.] What about you? You ask a lot of questions for someone who doesn't answer very many.

[messianic]

That's a relief. I'm glad you're both okay.

Is that right, though? I didn't realize, sorry. [He just sucks at... all of that.]

I'm fine now. I was pretty sick before, but that's still nothing compared to being kept captive by sirens. I'm just really relieved everyone made it back okay.

[bittybat]

I'm surprised there were no casualties considering Ichinose was apparently heading the search and rescue.

[Strangely, after hearing Damian speak in real life, this somehow sounds endearingly frustrated rather than malicious.]

[messianic]

[Damian...]

Ichinose-san helped us organize to find everyone, but we all chose to do what we did of our own free wills. That's always the case here, for better or for worse.

We're all just doing the best we can with what we have to work with.

[bittybat]

You're optimistic benevolence makes me want to throw up.

[But this is what he told to Summer too, isn't it? Doing what you can with what you have. Good thing Minato won't ever know his true feelings!! That he isn't an asshole!!]

[messianic]

[Oh my god.

Minato's absolutely amused--he doesn't think "optimistic benevolence" is one he's heard before.

But his response is altogether too straight-faced, even through text.]

Do you need any nausea medicine? I brought some from back home. (꒪⌓꒪)

[bittybat]

[VERY FUNNY MINATO]

You and Jon would get along.

I'm fine. I think I have enough fortitude to keep myself from being sick in the face of love and hope.

[messianic]

[he loves you, damian]

I'll have to try to talk to him soon.

I'm sure you do though. After all, you're a pretty hopeful person too, I think.

[bittybat]

[hold up don't be complimenting him he can't take it]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[messianic]

[sorry Damian]

You don't? Only someone who has a lot of hope for the situation would put so much effort into all of this. I think it's obvious you care a lot.

It's a good thing, you know.

[bittybat]

[For some reason, it takes him a bit to respond to this. It's almost like he has a hard time trying to figure out a good excuse, hm.]

The board was simply for organizational purposes. Some people don't know where things are or what's going on. Bigger things, like going home, can't be accomplished when the rest is muddling the way.

[messianic]

[Huh, strange, that.]

That's exactly what I mean.

[That Damian might have the most hope for the future out of all of them here, judging by the effort he puts into making it happen.]

Well, either way, it's a good thing. Thanks for always working so hard for everyone here.

[bittybat]

It isn't a problem.

[how... how does he respond... to niceness... help.]
