[NART????]

What's it about?

Ninjas. But it's like they have supernatural powers...

Luke really likes this one.

[me realizing this is naruto]

Oh? Did he send it to you?

Yes. Just to borrow. I'll send it back when I'm done.

I'm glad they're occupying themselves over there... When they're not sending weird messages.

They seem to be doing all right.

Have you received any particularly strange ones lately?

[she makes a face]

I told Essek to use the wine glass emoji for messages about achievements, and then I ended up getting this.

[she'll show the following message to kate]

HELLO, BEAUTIFUL, UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T THINK THIS RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO WORK OUT. I'M TRYING TO FOCUS ON MY ACHIEVEMENTS 🍷 IN LIFE BEFORE I GET TIED DOWN BY A PRETTY WOMAN. THERE ARE ALWAYS DIFFERENT GAMES 🍷 TO PLAY, AREN'T THERE? INCLUDING OUR LITTLE GAME OF INFIDELITY. LIFE IS JUST TOO SHORT TO SPEND IT WASTEFULLY TRYING TO KEEP A PARTNERSHIP AFLOAT. MAYBE WE CAN TRY AGAIN 🍷 ANOTHER TIME. YOUR HEADACHE, RICHARD

I see...

[ she doesn't entirely see. ]

Does that mean this could be a hint for an achievement...?

I won't do it if it has to do with infidelity. Why would that even be an achievement...

Oh, right... you had a boyfriend, was that right...?

Did Maya tell you?

I remember hearing it somewhere.

... It is possible, though, that this is less about cheating and more about rejecting someone...?

[ peering at this message too ]

... Cheating?

It better not be cheating.

[someone else can do this then]

I bet breaking up a relationship is one.... not that I'm advocating for that.

Oh, Ms. Manwol, did you hear about the hidden achievements?

Do you mean the ones we got last week?

[the secret ones.... and the one that got revealed after totty confessed]

Mmhmm. The dead shared some of the titles. Let me find them for you...

[ Also peering at it. ]

[ wow! it's a manga. two ninjas are fighting... but it looks like one of them vanished! "where did he go!?" kate turns the page... and suddenly, there is a kunai pressed against the remaining ninja's throat! the other one just moved so fast, he didn't see him at all... amazing... ]

[ engrossed

then remembers omg i have such a bad memory ]

We still have to do that movie night.

[ lifts her head ]

Oh! That's right...

The Jurassic Park movies. I'll ask the hosts next week if we can get them somehow.

There's more than one?

I think there's three?

That sounds like fun!!
