failed private video;

[cutiepanther]

[ After explaining to Nico in Nozomi's body that she wants to try to fix things between them, Maki's taking another step in that direction. Except, this video was DEFINITELY just meant for Nico, and not everyone else! ]

Look Nico, I have something to say to you, so can you just watch this without getting mad at me for two seconds?

[ Already Maki is starting off sounding a little haughty, and difficult herself, but that's how she is. ]

W-We're not so different, you know? We both like music and dancing, and we both try pretty hard in what we do. W-What I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry for making it sound like I was judging you back at the hot springs. It's obvious you try pretty hard. ...Even if you are pretty shameless when it comes to dancing naked, back at the hot springs.

[ Why is this so hard...Maki's full on red now. ]

I just want us to be... friends. O-Or at least civil with each other! Is that so difficult?

That's all I wanted say. Just don't get the wrong idea here, or anything, okay?!

[ Blushing and awkwardly trying to avoid the subject of just what Maki could be thinking there, she shuts off the video and posts it, forgetting to make sure it only sends to Nico.. ]

You two are just in a rough spot right now. It'll smooth out. Just be yourself.

[cutiepanther]

Why are you so sure? Maybe we're just better off being enemies?

[ All this advice from Nozomi and Eli are making her suspicious! ]

B-Besides...when she was in your body, she said she saw something between us, something attached to my finger...do you know what she was talking about Nozomi?

[erichika]

[Whups, there it is. Good luck Nozomi]

[future_sight]

Oh, she told you about that, huh?

[She looks like the Meowth that caught the Ratata right now]

[cutiepanther]

Told me about what? Why don't you sound more surprised?!

[ Spill the beans you two! Maki can easily see they they know something!! ]

Didn't get notifs for this sorry

[future_sight]

The strings.

not a problem

[cutiepanther]

Strings? What strings? You aren't making any sense.

[future_sight]

The thing attached to both of your fingers.

[cutiepanther]

Why would there be some kind of invisible string tied between me and her?! That doesn't make any sense!

[ Maki really can't imagine it.. ]

[future_sight]

I wonder~

[cutiepanther]

Don't get all mysterious on me now!!!

[erichika]

[Eri walks over and kisses Nozomi on the cheek]

This is what strings mean.

[cutiepanther]

W-W-Wait a second!! Y-You two....

[ Its not like Maki hasn't guessed there's something going on between the two of them but being so open about it all of a sudden us really embarrassing for poor Maki. She can't even start to think about herself and Nico yet. ]

[future_sight]

Hmmm?

[erichika]

Better get to work, yes?

[cutiepanther]

You're not making any sense, either of you!!

[future_sight]

You'll figure it out. I believe in you.

[erichika]

And Nico's not as difficult as she seems.

[cutiepanther]

I don't know what either of you two are talking about, I'm hanging up now!

[ And that's it Maki is a little overwhelmed with all these...emotions, that she needs a break. ]
