[ why are you like this pixi who hurt you it was before my time i think. before i was born in the mg circuit.
when doesn't kanda need to go have his feelings alone? get a new thing to do!! ]
It's a phone.
[ leaning against the tree. ]
They're devices that let you send messages or talk to people from far away as long as they have one, too. I'm gonna make sure everyone has their own and knows how to use it. Do you want to see? You'd have to come down here.
Q. If Allen, Lavi and Kanda lived now, what kind of socials would they use?
A. Lavi would be sort of nerd. Allen would be the nice guy who uses it sometimes and Kanda...He would not have a phone or any socials. He would use Lenalee as a cellphone, asking her to call instead of him. And Lenalee would be like "have a phone yourself!"
By which I mean he stays in the tree like an asshole]
Ah, what's that? Kanda want to knows all about what I'm doing? I guess I can explain it better!
[ if he refuses to interact, caelus will simply take the wheel and steer them into the ocean ]
If everyone has a phone, we'll all be able to communicate should something happen. It will be a massively useful tool for organizing or if more people get lost in the fog. But I guess if you want to stay in the dark and not know when we find an escape route until after everyone else, that's okay, too.
[Oh--well, Caelus is being a little snarky on purpose, but rather than the usual response of vague disgruntlement or even rude smugness, the emotions his words evoke are heavy: a tangled mess of discomfort and unhappiness. The mention of an escape route fills him with a conflicted sort of unease--not that he would convey that even if he wasn't. Y'know. A cat.
He frees his claws from the bark and wobbles a little as he curls up in a ball, face hidden but tail still flicking back and forth.]
[ caelus' own emotions are starting to boil but he tamps it down. kanda never agreed to get along with him, cat or not. ]
You're having a rough day. [ surely that creature will protect kanda from the monster hawks. another minute of messing with the cheapo phone and caelus commits to standing again. dusts off the back of his jacket with a hand. ]
I'm sending a letter to Lavi Wednesday. I'm going to see if I can get it to arrive on the same day. If you want me to pass anything along, come find me before then.
[Ironically, it's not really anything on Caelus's end that has him feeling so uneasy and conflicted, but he has no good way of expressing that right now--not that he'd bother to clarify even if he could talk, so maybe it's a moot point.
There's another conflicted burst of emotion, different from the last; this one is mostly weariness, with a mild undercurrent of annoyance and an even fainter thread of guilt. He makes a noise, but this one is kind of impossible to interpret.]
[Kanda should be a cushion cat. He'd fit right in between Bladecat and Nyan Heng.
But he lets Caelus go for now... at least when he turns back he'll show up to town hall, and stick around until Aventurine starts talking about getting back to the other side. It's fine. Don't worry about it.]

It's going to be okay.
[ that's all he's got. ]
I'm going to take a walk around.
[ 'everyone pair up if you're exploring' no. ]
Maybe stay in the tree until you're back to normal.
