This is August. Leave a message and I'll get back to you. Unless you're a jackass who decided to track down my personal info instead of using the business number, in which case fuck you.

Look, if a goose is trying to kill me it's getting punched.
But fine.
We won't go to the park.
Denny's?

[drewthetower]

sure

also concerned that I said "don't fight the goose" and your response was "okay then no park"

[callmekacchan]

If I'm not around the goose I can't fight it.
Problem solved.

[drewthetower]

or you could just

NOT fight the goose????

[callmekacchan]

I don't know what the problem is here. If the end result is I don't fight the goose, does it matter how I achieved it?

[drewthetower]

most people would just not fight the goose not remove themselves from where the goose is

[callmekacchan]

I don't know what to tell you.
I'm not most people.
There is always at least a 25% chance of a fight wherever I go.
Can't rule out the fight being with the goose.
So Denny's it is.

[drewthetower]

[Okay, credit for self-awareness.]

works for me, I need to eat anyway

[callmekacchan]

My treat.
Since you're doing me a favor.
Can probably be there by 3:30

[drewthetower]

ooh thanks. see you there.

[Look August will never say no to free food, okay? And he will absolutely be there whenever Katsuki gets there.]

[callmekacchan]

[Katsuki is there on time and finds the booth August is at, sliding in across from him.]

You order yet?

[drewthetower]

Just a drink. I'm still trying to figure out what some of this crap is.

[callmekacchan]

I'd stick with something you know. Some of the things in here are questionable at best.

[drewthetower]

Man, I can't be sure anything on his menu is shit I know.

[But he'll settle on a burger eventually. That's gotta be safe, right?]

Do you want to use the camera on me first, so you can see what I mean about how it works?

[callmekacchan]

[The burgers seemed fine last time he was here at least?]

Yeah. Just tell me how to do it.

[drewthetower]

[August pulls a Polaroid camera out of his bag.]

Literally just point and click. Warning, it might show something gruesome when you take the picture of me.

[callmekacchan]

Got it.

[He's not backing out now. So he takes the camera, aims it at August and clicks the button.]

[drewthetower]

[Out pops the photo, which August reaches over to take before Katsuki can. That's...that's just for the best. Just in case.

And yeah, it's not the prettiest. It's of August in his demon form (but clearly after training, if the fact that he's flying is any indication), bleeding and fighting against a much larger demon in what is probably Hell. There's others visible, but they're in motion as they fight.

He shows it to Katsuki.]

Well, still not as bad as the first one.

[callmekacchan]

[Katsuki bites back his mild annoyance at the action. He doesn't really like being treated like he can't handle things. But he reasons... it's also possible there are things August just doesn't want him seeing.]

So is it something you remember? Or is this something you've got no context for?

[drewthetower]

[The first photo he took had him getting run through. Better safe than sorry.]

I mean, now that I'm looking at it I remember it happening but otherwise? No context. No idea what's going on here at all.

[callmekacchan]

Huh... so seeing a picture from the memory isn't enough to give you one of those full-on memory flashes? But they get triggered by the smallest things...

[drewthetower]

At least not with this photo. Maybe this happened a lot or something, I dunno. And it doesn't work like this with the isekais. It just shows them memories from home.

[callmekacchan]

How about the other times? You get a memory last time? Did the others?

[He's just getting a feel for things before they do this. Is that something he has to be prepared for? He's going through with it regardless. Just... mentally preparing is always good.]

[drewthetower]

The first time showed me getting run through with a sword, and when I first transformed it sorta connected to that memory. The second time just showed a photo of friends, no real memory there, just the realization that apparently my best friend back home was my best friend then too.

[A beat.]

And I've always been a pining disaster but that's not news.

[callmekacchan]

Run through with a sword? These other worlds are so fucked up...

[He passes the camera back to August.]

Okay. Think I'm ready. Let's see what other disasters that bastard has in store for me.

['That bastard' being the other him.]
