I just want a bit part in your life

Haruto. H-how do we feel about threesomes and foursomes?

I love you dearly and no one else can replace you, but I have a line of people waiting to sleep with me, amd I want you to enjoy yourself too.

I have a question - how do you convince your father that just because you've turned nineteen and have a boyfriend, it is not a good time to start speaking of heirs? I love him dearly, but he takes the duties that come from being the head of the temple too much to heart. I haven't even inherited yet, and I'm not old enough to have children!

[Fail!private]
I wish this wound would heal quickly. It's in an obvious place that draws questions, and how am I to explain that the day-to-day affairs of a monk led me to being pricked with a weapon? I'm not even sure of what happened, myself.

((Part 1 of the Mukuro plot is go! ...yeah, part 1's not that interesting. Part 2 comes tomorrow and will be much cooler.))

The temple had a large room with tables and chairs, usually used for meetings between the monks. Right now it had been appropriated for Issei's birthday party, and was full of food and streamers. Guests were milling about, talking to each other and waiting for Issei to arrive.

Which he did, dropping his jaw at the sight. "Wh-what is all this?"

((Feel free to talk to each other and to Issei! Enjoy~))

Thank you very much for the rescue. Everyone, I'm all right now, and the rest of the affected people are going to be fine. I know, because I'm going to help save them. (I won't budge on this, so don't try to dissuade me.)

As for what I said and did... well, call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer regular therapy to the supernatural kind. So if you want to ask, I'll do my best to answer. ...That person is me, technically, but more than a little seems to have been lost in translation.

[Failed private, easily hackable]
I looked like a tramp. Forget looking like one, I acted like one! And I - with - if I didn't have people to rescue I'd spend the rest of the day in purifying myself! No, I'd spend the entire week doing it, just to be certain I was rid of the unclean influences!

Am I supposed to return Nakamori's undergarments to her now...? I don't have any use for them myself. But I've never been in such a situation before! I don't know how to deal with this!

((Okay! I don't know how other people are handling this, but I'm going to say that all posts made on the 15th (including Haruto's last one) are before Issei's rescue, and all posts made after that are after the rescue. It's easier for me to keep track of, and I'd be remiss in not letting his boyfriend have a good panic post. Also, holy crap guys, did you see how many comments were on there? I love all of you for making Shadow!Issei so fun to play~))

While the variety of virused posts is admittedly a change of pace, I'd rather know for certain what my friends on here could be afflicted by so I would know how much to worry. Since that reassurance isn't available right now - everyone? Could you at least tell me if you're in any immediate danger? Most viruses aren't harmful, but there have to be some in the history of the community that have been...

As for me, I don't seem to be affected. Nothing of more interest than drawing water from the well with Kuzuki-nii happened today, and even the memory-altering viruses are interesting. That's something to be grateful for.

((Issei's affected by the 'what if?' virus - more specifically, what if Kuzuki and Caster had survived the war. Possessed!Issei will come after too many questions get asked, and his/her/its? intro will be in a separate post.))

Shirou called.

I hate viruses.

Um, Haruto? Would you mind terribly if I stopped telling people that we were married? It's a bit difficult to explain why it's not on our records or how it was at all legal, since I can't tell random strangers about other worlds, but I didn't want to offend you by not mentioning it when they asked.

Anyway, I'll see you when you wake up unless I'm making breakfast at the time. In that case, I suppose you'll read this first.

EDIT: Well, this appears to be public, and there's no use removing it now. So I'll just take this opportunity to apologize for forgetting all of you. It wasn't intentional, I wasn't joking around, and if I hurt you inadvertently through any callousness, please forgive me.

((...Issei needs to stop getting fake memories, seriously.))

...

Could I have my normal clothes back now, please? This isn't funny.

((In all icons, Issei appears to be wearing this. Background roses not included.))

Issei paced around near the bottom of the steps to the temple.

The first two times had gone well, so this time would do well, wouldn't it? Well, it could be said that the second time hadn't gone so well with the kissing-on-the-cheek and freezing-up, and then after that there'd been that large strain in their relationship courtesy of his tasks-

Still! No reason to panic! If he had confidence in himself, he could make sure Haruto enjoyed himself, and that was all that really mattered.

...was it strange that they'd been dating for over two months and this was only their third date?

This is the last one.

I am going to the Dreaming, I'm going now, and when I get back this will be over with.

And I assure you that I will not fail.
