-- to be fair, I wasn't, either!

[HE WAS SO TIRED OF BEING ALONE :(]

[GIGGLESNORT

but. seriously. they. listen, we’ve all been through ‘feeling like we are so alone’ shit akira. what a mood.]

Well, you’re part of the gang now, bud. Listen— we, um, I don’t think you can see it, but after we all met up, a little something happened. [He holds up his wrist.] The sequins on our scrunchies started to turn gold. So we figured we’d loop you in, see what happens?

[this is why he was sad about Sanji u_u but being here-- surrounded by people he knows have been in the same boat as him for the past six or so weeks-- does help him feel a little more. . . at ease]

Hn. . .?

[he lifts up his own scrunchie, and-- as of the tag above-- the sequins on his own scrunchie begin to turn a bright, glittering gold as well]

. . . ah!

Ah—! Oh!!

[THE GOLD SEQUINS.]

[ oh!!! ]

Hm?

[He tilts his head - but doesn’t seem that surprised.]

We’ve got a very nearly complete list of everyone’s team too. I think we’re missing— what is it guys? Three?

Yeeeeup. Damian, Belph and... Chuuya? Was that it?

Yup. And really— we only need two of those. Or, even one, if it’s the right one.

-- oh, I know Chuuya.

[THAT'S EASY. he looks over at Taako as he admires his new scrunchie]

But is it safe to share?

[NODDING!! Excited!]

Yeah— it’s safe here. Not his power or anything, just team. And I’ll share my list. I think Chuuya might make it so I can complete it.

[looking at Taako and then everyone else, before he exhales and nods. okay. he'll trust them. he's sorry Chuuya if him outing you to so many people gets you hurt, but. . .]

Purple Heart.

And for what it's worth, I'm about 95% sure Damian is Black Shadows.

YOU GUYS OWE ME FIVE DOLLARS

[. . . CRACKS UP!!]

Yeah, he is, 'cause we were only missing one Purple.

One Purple and two Shadows?

Oh!

[Grinning! Pumping his fist in the air.]

Nice!

[ YES!! sequins!! ]

[flayn looks delighted]

Wonderful!

[REPLIES HERE TO EVERYONE as he marvels at the gold. pretty. . . +_+]

Whoa. . . is gold the new team?

[she actually

seems really hopeful, now]

...I hope so. If it is - then it means we are on the right track.

[draws his arm up to his chest, now cradling his scrunchie]

I hope so, too.

[finally, they're working things out]

...I am glad you agreed to meet with us, Akira.

Were you worried I'd say no?

[what else is a guy supposed to do when he's offered pizza!!]

...a little bit, yes.

[he shakes his head and huffs a laugh]

I want answers. Not just for my own edification, but for everyone here.

I would have been stupid to turn away from them.
