I'm never too busy to talk to my friends!
What is it?

[Advice for attending a sleepover...? Oh, yeah, that's right. Akechi did say she was his first friend, and of course he's never been to a sleepover before.]
A sleepover, huh? Have lots of fun, eat lots of snacks, and stay up really late! You could have a contest to see who stays up the latest. o((*^▽^*))o
I always lose those ones, though... I eat too much and end up just falling asleep... ｡(*^▽^*)ゞ ..... ( ﾟДﾟ)＜AAAH!! but I'm really active the next day, so I won't get fat or anything!! ( ≧Д≦)
Who are you having a sleepover with?

Haha, you type in such a cute style.
It really suits you. I can hear the cheer in your words.
Ah but Akira and Sakamoto invited me.
As you can probably guess, this would be a first for me. And they left me in charge of the snacks...
But to be honest, I've barely even held conversations with people our age.
So I'm really at a loss.
I thought you might have some ideas though!

Thanks! (•́⌄•́๑)૭✧ That means my feelings reached you!
I'm really happy they invited you... I met both of them the other day!! Not at the same time, of course, but they seem like nice people. Sakamoto-kun offered to come to staff class with me and Qrow-san! ╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ ˂ᵒ͜͡ᵏᵎ⁾✩ So you'll come too, right?
That reminds me! I meant to text you RIGHT after it happened （＊〇□〇）……！There's a fish that Kurusu-kun and I caught in the lake that plays Mozart! A whole bunch of different songs!! Somebody stupid named it the Lisztfish, though.... aaaaaaaah!!!! Why are you the only one who knows anything about classical music around here?! !!(⊃ Д)⊃≡ﾟ
[That was not the most important thing she and Akira talked about, but it's important to her.]
Anyway, you want to bring stuff that you can eat with your hands. Oh, unless it's ice cream? Ice cream is a MUST!!
Unless you don't have anywhere to store it, huh...
oh! But Bender can make caramel popcorn, that's a good one. You want to get a good mix of sweet and salty stuff. Sleepovers aren't the time to worry about eating healthy! ٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)૭✧

Oh, I would love to learn how to use a staff. Taking it with you three would be fun, too.
Sakamoto and I seem to be on good enough terms. So we should be able to all get along.
Ah wait why call it a Lisztfish if it plays Mozart? Not that anything is wrong with Mozart but it's completely different and frankly disrespectful. I wonder if a Mozartfish would play Liszt or would it be even more screwed up...?
Haha well, we could see about educating Akira sometime. He's smarter than he acts or sounds.
I think if anyone could get him to enjoy classical music, though, it would be you.
Your passion for it means you'll be able to find the perfect pieces he'll love.
Ah but I see. So, ice cream, the popcorn... sweet and salty mixes... but you don't mean things like fish, huh?
That was probably a stupid question, right...
[Kaede he's so fucking stupid at this.]

Alright, it's decided, then!! I was a little worried, but if all three of you are going to be there, I'll definitely be fine! ٩(๑∂▿∂๑)۶♡
I don't know, we didn't catch any other fish, we decided to hang out and chat instead... so you and me will have to go fishing and see what other composers are swimming around down there!! <*)) >>=< <*)) >>=<
<*)) >>=< hehe
But you're right! I'll work hard to find out what kind of music to play for him. Classical music isn't for everybody, but if I can touch his heart a little, that's enough for me!
...
...
...
[Akechi........]
Not fish... pizza would be better! Oh, but I guess it really just depends on what Bender decides to give you, huh.
Oh! Think about it this way! What kinds of snacks would you want to eat while you're watching a movie? It'd be something you don't have to pay a lot of attention to. Does that help?

Don't be worried. Sakamoto is an excellent fighter and Qrow is a seasoned veteran. I suppose I fall somewhere in between...
But ah, Akamatsu-san, getting three gorgeous men to protect you during training is impressive...
[Welcome to Rank Level 'Teasing'.]
I would be happy to fish up composers with you.
And I look forward to seeing what pieces you select for him, too. I'm not sure I have any suggestions myself.
But I believe in your ability to make him smile.
That does help! So, ah, potato chips and pocky and things like that?

[If only this was in person, he'd get to hear her laugh out loud with that comment. It doesn't stop her from instantly responding,]
I haven't seen any gorgeous men yet... are you holding out on me, Akechi-kun?! ρ(￣ﾍ￣ ﾒ)
[Friendship level: biding her time until the Vicious Mockery path action.]
When I figure it out, I'll invite you both ╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ ˂ᵒ͜͡ᵏᵎ⁾✩
Yeah, pocky and potato chips are really good ones! Any kind of sweet or salty candy would work, too... Boys eat a lot, right? So you'll want to bring a whole bunch.
I don't really know what boys do at sleepovers, to tell the truth! （´-`）.｡oO（?） Whenever I've been at a sleepover, we watched movies and talked about boys we liked, or played with each other's hair, or had pillow fights... You'll have to let me know what you guys do! Now I'm curious!!

Ahaha, how harsh.
Even my good looks have been cast aside...
[He's very sad he can't say this dramatically. Conveying his drama through text is so hard.]
(*´Д｀)=з
[There, perfect.]
I don't really know what boys do at sleepovers either.
Sometimes at the orphanage after lights out, the other boys would tell ghost stories.
Though at that age, I was still scared of ghosts.
Ah but that's the closest I know to what boys might do at a sleepover. I'll definitely get all the details and tell you!
Ah for helping me, I could bring you some snacks, too. It doesn't seem fair that you don't get something fun out of it.

[The tacked-on emoji makes her laugh again.]
Aaawww, cheer up, Akechi-kun!! Even if you're not gorgeous, you're pretty cute ヾ（〃＾∇＾）ﾉ♪ for a boy anyway
[Ryuji on the other hand... hmmmm not her type, too loud. Tried to imply that she'd seen him in her dreams when they first met.
Tiny Akechi being scared of ghosts though... that IS cute.]
Oh, ghost stories! We've done those, too. That reminds me, there's stuff like truth or dare or tests of courage! Idk what kinds of dares you could do on the moonbase, though... it'd be hard to prank-call somebody with the bracers like this.
I don't know if I'd have fun sleeping over with a bunch of boys, anyway... people would probably get a really wrong idea, you know! | ू•ૅω•́)ᵎᵎᵎ But there's no way I'd turn down snacks.

I'll accept pretty cute. Cute was what I aimed for.
[And he happens to think he is pretty damn cute, so he'll take the compliment.]
Ah but those are good ideas. They might be fun games to suggest.
I'm sure someone like Sakamoto can think of pranks. Akira, too. They're both such delinquents.
[Says a murderer, yes.]
Hmm... I didn't consider that but I suppose it would look a little improper...
But maybe all of us in this age range could do something fun together one night.
I suggest that full well knowing I'm not fond of crowds. But I think getting to know each other isn't such a bad idea.
Not only are we teammates but we'll also all be working together.
It's easier to work with people you understand in some way.
[If he's honest, the truth is that he wants something like this for Kaede. He understands that she really doesn't need his help making friends, so it isn't about that. He wants her to have something fun and lighthearted to look forward to. He wants to make sure she doesn't bottle things up because she doesn't have enough people who she can rely on.]

You succeeded! !(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑
...Are they really delinquents, though? Sakamoto-kun seems like a punk, yeah, but Kurusu-kun looks too quiet for that.
[The irony of Goro Akechi, Murderer Detective, describing them like that, isn't lost on her. But to be fair, she doesn't know anything about their group aside from what he's told her, which is to say: they're heroes.]
Oh, that's a really good idea! I'd like that a lot. That might be a little big for just one room, though...
Maybe after we have our first mission, I can try to organize something? Like a celebration!
I've never set something up for that many people before, though... or for anyone at all, really.
I mean, I've hung out with friends before, obviously, but... mostly I spent my time playing piano, you know? Especially once I entered high school, I really had to focus hard on improving my skills as much as I could. So I didn't have as much time to hang out with people as much as I'd have liked to.
[The lack of emoji and the pauses between texts is a hint that she's actually thinking seriously about this, instead of just blurting out whatever comes to mind.]
I'll have to think about what we could all do together!

Aha, he's quiet often, yes. That's certainly part of his nature. But don't let his shy wallflower exterior fool you.
I've never met a more passionate, unruly and confident rogue.
[But he's glad to see her thinking over his idea seriously. It sounds like something she would really enjoy. He had kind of figured her piano career had come first.]
I think that sounds perfect as a celebration.
If you need any help with organizing, I'm good at that at least.
But I'm probably not the best to ask for ideas for activities.
Still, there are enough of us that the others might have an idea, too. Maybe we can fish for ideas from the others during the mission.
I assume we'll have some downtime at least.

Hmmmm.... I'll believe it when I see it, I guess!!
Asking the others is definitely the best course of action, I think! That way we can make sure everybody feels included. I wouldn't want it to be, like, something *I* was setting up, but something we could all have fun doing together.
I'll definitely be counting on you if there's anything that needs to be organized! If you and I work together, I know it'll be perfectly composed like Chopin's ballades!

Haha, you really are so considerate.
Most people would want to take all of the credit for setting it up. But it's not a bad thing at all.
Though, ah...
I admit that makes me a bit flustered to be compared to Chopin.
I think Camille Saint-Saens would be more appropriate.
Oh, sure, he was a technical genius and everyone loves Danse Macabre and maybe a couple of others. But no one really would be able to listen to a whole performance without getting bored.
Besides he was a greedy hack in the long-run.
Er.
That isn't me insulting myself.
That was me insulting Camille Saint-Saens.
I'm just saying Chopin is overrating my organizational skills.
[Why is he like this.]

[The immediate rebuttal maybe conveys how blunt it is? Hopefully the rest makes it seem less rude.]
Neither of us really could be! I mean, we're just ourselves, right? But if we work hard together, we can definitely achieve something that's greater than all of us, don't you think?
So I wouldn't compare you to anybody else. Akechi-kun is Akechi-kun, after all!

what are you doing

you found the piano right
I was just gong for a walk, and yes, I did!! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o I stopped by the inn/tavern place when we first got here, the Fraser Fir? And they let me play the piano there! Everybody who eats there is really nice. They keep leaving me tips even though I said I wasn't doing it for money...
Do you want to come hang out? ༼ つ ◕3◕ ༽つ ♫♪♫ We can play some music together! ٩(ó｡ò۶ ♡)))♬

Hehe, you are entertaining! （＾ｖ＾） I'll meet you there?
We can continue some of our lessons, too! I'm sure they won't mind.
[Hitting the wrong notes on a piano might be a little annoying, but at least it isn't outright painful like a violin or something.]

yeah ill be there
[and there, he in fact, be — he's standing next to the piano once Kaede arrives, back in action, fresh and ready to go ahead and pretend like he didn't just get back from the moon Base after a really stupid encounter with a spider.]

[He definitely beats her there! For all her enthusiasm, Kaede was on a walk around the town, and she wasn't really in a rush to get there. She offers a wave to the cook, and smiles at a few of the regulars who know her by name now, before she finally takes a seat at the piano and grins up at Dave.]
Sorry... were you waiting long? You could have sat down, you know...
Sorry... were you waiting long? You could have sat down, you know...
Nah.
[Dave's answer to both thoughts, apparently! but since they're planning on making a lesson out of this, he goes ahead and plops down next to her.]
[and then he thinks for a minute. pulls a 2009-era iPhone out of his pocket. seems that was the thing from home he managed to yoink from his initiation test. he turns it on — without a charger to keep it good and juiced, he's been trying to make the battery last as long as he could ... right up until now, anyway. there's only about five percent left.]
[but he opens the music app, taps at the screen, and sets it down. because Kaede does the piano, and John did the piano, and he figures she wouldn't mind hearing one of the remixes they did together.]
