No, really. Please do. Ever since I saw this flyer, I've been trying to understand the hobbyist mindset. Do they really all just keep the guns to clean and look at?
you know people who are really into old watches? they like messing around with all the bits and bobs inside and how it all makes one working mechanism? it's kind of like that
i can open up one of mine and show you everything that goes into it
though to be honest a draw for a lot of people is collecting stuff from their favorite period in history or movies and tv shows
[ He really is painfully cute when he explains his hobby...
And Maruki is not smooth enough to be doing this. It's so tempting to just let him keep talking and forget he ever got a wild hair of an idea to begin with, butโ
Well, he's never exactly been good at letting things go. ]
That all makes sense. I bet the movie replica side gets intense... And I do find your explanations of the mechanisms fascinating!
I just wonder...
You don't ever want to do anything else with them?
Why would he be encouraging going to an expo of all things, then? Where he could look at and handle so many of them?? No, it's gotta be something else, but... ]
[ BELOVED ADACHI. PLEASE DO HIM A SOLID AND READ HIS MIND RIGHT NOW. PLEASE.
A protracted pause. Adachi does not magically read his mind and message back appropriately. It's up to Maruki, his imagination that runs at hyperspeed, and his ability to put words to his desires that runs on fumes.
Maybe if he just. Keeps hitting send so he doesn't overthink a long explanation of how he arrived at this conclusion. Maybe that will force it out. ]
Oh
I don't really know
just
you know
stuff
or... I guess I meant
stuff in bed specifically
or something
wwwwwww (ยฐใผยฐใ)
If that's weird, please forget I said anything and tell me more about the television replicas!
Okay, truth be told he'd been having this conversation while lounging around, but once the word 'bed' comes across his screen he's gotta sit up and give this even more than 100% of his full attention. ]
Maruki can drop his hands from his burning face and try to ease his panic. He can actually reread what just transpired, take some deep breaths, and be normal about this.
[ But... less embarrassing to do over text, by a slim margin, which is why he opted for this. The coward's choice. Should he be doing it on his break at work? Well, no, but ethics have never been his strong suit. ]
They're fake, you've shown me that, so... it would be completely safe if you had one held to my head while... you know.
If you're not on the same page, please ignore that. I'm on whatever page you're on.
[ A profound relief and an adrenaline-spiked thrill all at once. He guessed correctly in a major way.
There's some message about how there isn't anyone else he'd be interested in this with half-typed out, then deleted. Only you. If Maruki knows himself, then he knows it will come out eventuallyโ a reassurance murmured against his lips beforehand, or a confession in the hazy, satisfied afterglow. All in due time.
For now... ]
Okay.
[ Okay. ]
I'm glad.
[ He really is glad. ]
I like to know what you like. You can always tell me.

Is Maruki asking if he still gets The Urge?

Actually. Very reassuring.
Maruki can drop his hands from his burning face and try to ease his panic. He can actually reread what just transpired, take some deep breaths, and be normal about this.
