can you not tell anyone else what i'm about to tell you? it's about mikey
he'd probably kill me if he knew i was doing this but [But he knows from firsthand experience that he can't save Mikey without help. Lots and lots of help.] he'd hate it even more if someone got hurt because of this
[Takemichi takes a deep, calming breath, willing himself to keep typing. He can't help but hesitate even after Yu's stern reprimand. These are the sorts of things he never thought he'd tell anyone, the sorts of things that would get him thrown in an asylum if he tried to explain them back home.]
it's a curse
i don't think even mikey knows about it yet, but i've seen it in action
it makes him want to destroy everything around him
he tries to fight it but every time he hides away on his own it just gets worse
that's why he kicked everyone out
he doesn't want to lose control and kill someone.
yu was able to see him, and his hands are turning black
you mean this isn't just the black stuff going around? or it's... making that curse even worse. i mean, i have it too, the markings and everything. it kind of sucks.
focus on mikey and yu first, okay...? i don't feel like punching anyone or lasering anyone, so i'm probably not a huge threat.
[Okay honestly, he's kind of worried about himself, that he might lose control at some point. But also, he's more worried about Mikey and Yu, and they should be helped first. Kotone will... take care of him if something goes south.]
it's not too late for mikey, right? you mentioned the curse and how the corruption kickstarted it. will it stop even if we stop the corruption.
["Focus on Mikey and Yu first," he says, as if Takemichi isn't already fully invested. As far as he's concerned, helping one of them helps all of them.
It's the second half of Scott's text that brings Takemichi pause.]
i don't know
[And ain't that a bitch?]
mikey won't tell me anything so i don't know how bad it is right now
but he was fine until today!
i think he'll be okay as long as the corruption stops before he does something he'll regret
i don't think i'm really doing anything, but yeah, you're welcome. be careful too out there, okay? mikey's gonna be upset if something happens after he recovers.

...Yeah, I promise, I won't tell anyone. Especially since... it seems like he would actually kill you right now. I haven't seen him like this before.
no subject
this isn't the real mikey at all

at this rate he really might lose control

what should we do then if he loses control
no subject
Don't ever kill a timeleaper, Scott. It tanks your karma straight to hell.]
i think its kickstarting the curse
mikey is scared so it must be making it hard for him to resist
and yu said his fingers are starting to turn black too
that's 3 people now!
we have to find out how to fix it before ANY of you get worse!!!
