..unfortunately they've been at this a while. It's been a concern of mine that similar views occurred in the past and hm. [He was gonna go on but he feels that sense of being watched and just falls silent.]

Anyway, there was a religion around them in the past and this seems to be an extension of their...fanatical [There's a heavy thump.] views!

[hopedout]

[ Can you hear the sigh? Because it's really loud, even though the link. ]

So basically, they're obsessed. They haven't been bothering you, have they?

[eyeswideopen]

Since this morning. [There's another thump. He casually keeps talking as if there wasn't one.]

Fools and money are often found together. I called off work and my boss wasn't even surprised. She said something about I should get a bottle of the hard stuff and just ride it out.

Whatever that means.

[hopedout]

[...]

She's telling you to drink, Komaeda. [ Anyway- ] Do you need help getting rid of them? I mean. So they don't bother you, obviously.

[eyeswideopen]

...I'm not sure what will stop them. The continuously moving illusion of a back door isn't. [Thump. He isn't even sorry about it.]

I don't think drinking would solve anything. [Not that he's ever been drunk before but hey.]

[hopedout]

What if... we gave them what they wanted? It's not like they're out for blood or trying to kidnap you or anything.

[ Hinata thinks it could be worse. ] That is, in regards to the task board. They might leave you alone if I do it.

[eyeswideopen]

[There's a pause filled with thumps. (Look they brought this on themselves. It's like birds and clean windows.)]

...They're out for my hair and my belongings or personal information. With hair getting the most money. [That just. Even he can spot the creepy in that.] Do you really think they'd leave me alone if you did?

[hopedout]

We're not shaving you bald. [ If that's supposed to be a joke, it's not coming through that easily. ]

But it's possible. You just need to pretend that you don't know that I told them the basic information or took one of your belongings or whatever. We can split the money evenly, too.

[eyeswideopen]

Locks of hair, Hinata. [He corrects him. The idea of being bald just seems very cold and too much like those hospital visits. There's another pause, as that seems to be the norm today.]

Are you suggesting a hustle? [He isn't bothered by it at all considering how he laughs and adds.]

It wouldn't be that hard to pull off. Like I said, they're fanatics. Not even the bright kind!

[hopedout]

[ Look..... they can get locks of hair from the pile of hair that was shaved off. One for each member. ]

Normally, I'd be against it, but I guess I am. [ STILL BETTER THAN MURDER ]

So, do you have a plan?

[ He's assuming he already does. ]

[eyeswideopen]

Mmm, now Hinata I don't always have a plan. [But the pause happens again as he considers how to work this out. It isn't long at all (a minute or so) before he has a plan.]

But the best way for this to work... well, I have a specific pen I use at work. It's on the left side of the desk, right under the counter.

As for the hair, on days off - I take naps in the library. They're quite used to it by now. Probably assume I'm another not so common sense oriented researcher like all the rest. [They're not wrong in some areas.]

So that would be easily verified.

[hopedout]

They're also asking for pictures. Should I just... take a picture during your nap or give them a copy of the picture in the ID?

[ Hinata Hajime asks the important questions. ]

[eyeswideopen]

The id, let's not get into creepy territory. [Isn't it nice to know he has a line he draws.]

If they want something recent, you know what days I work and where.

[hopedout]

Maybe they want "something creepy". [ He doesn't know??? ]

But yeah, I can see if I can get a copy of the ID photos.

[eyeswideopen]

Please, if that's what they want, [He sounds at first like he'll do it. But adds,] They can keep wishing.

I didn't realize this was part of the job. It's a bit unsettling! [He isn't deterred in the slightest. He'll help his friend. Those challenges exposed who they really were to one another. He'd never reached out and felt as heard as he can with Peromei.] Hopefully this tides them over for a while.
