(stares at this, trying to figure out what the fuck he was going to say...........)

I forgot what the point of my first text was and I barely know what day it is today, so ig how's the studying going?

[anbu]

You were questioning the condition of my leg, likely due to your aid in healing magic. It was successful. [Not like, because Jonas cares about people's well being or anything.]

Fine. I've discovered a useful library at Undermael College.

[anbu]

Also, it is Sunday.

Thanks, your skill as a calendar is unparralelled.

(fuck if he knows how to spell that. proudly bullshits it.)

That wasn't it, though. I know I healed your leg, the text was p much a lead-in to smth else (not that I wasn't concerned!!). Totally had a super important question, but that ship has sailed and is halfway across the world rn.

(ten minutes later, because we both know itachi will leave him on read for that long.)

Oh shit I just remembered!

[anbu]

Unparalleled.

[... ... Waits ...]

What is it?

[coherer]

There are so many Ls in that word, man. LMAOOO

Okay okay here it is:

What do you call a man who's short of time?

[anbu]

Another riddle?

[????? Itachi doesn't think about this one much. He's responding to these messages mid-training, and the spellwork requires more attention than... Jonas.]

Late.

*makes incorrect answer buzzer noise*

Ooo, Itachi was in the lead by simply being the only contestant participating here today, folks, but that won't cut it. Good answer, though.

I'll give you two separate punchlines and you choose the one that fits the best.

Is it:

a) Calendar
b) Tim

[anbu]

[Please stop.]

What is 'Tim'?

[coherer]

In my world, Tim's a guy's name.

[anbu]

Calendar would make more sense to me.

[coherer]

Sasuke: 1
Jonas: 0

Thank you for participating in this poll. You've supported your brother's cause. He'll be very happy to hear it.

[anbu]

[... ????????? nani the fuck.]

I don't understand.

[coherer]

Well, I told the joke to Sasuke and he didn't get it. I think it's a translation thing. So he suggested I change the punchline to "calendar" because calendars always go beneath clocks, or smth.

Anyway, he wanted me to ask people which was better. You're the first person I checked with, so he's winning by a landslide of 1 vote.

[anbu]

[He can't believe he was set up like this.]

You should consider asking more than one person if you're truly devoted to this joke.

[What a bad sample size... and also biased.]

[coherer]

Oh, I plan to. Sasuke won the battle, but he won't win the war. I'll be sliding into first place soon.

Once I ask other earthlings, LOL

(no THIS is biased.)

[anbu]

[Give him a reason to reply to this text, Jonas. Because he looks at it and pockets his watch again almost immediately. 'Earthlings'........]

[anbu]

[Never mind, he thought of something. Two hours later and out of left field:]

Are you focused primarily on healing spells, or are there others?

[coherer]

(sasuke, your brother's a shit.)

I'll trade you. What sorts of things are you reading at the college library?

[anbu]

Magic classes.

[Hence the question. Now, kindly, trade back that answer.]

[coherer]

Abjuration and enchantment, mostly. But I dabble.

I've been working hard on my barrier magic and imbuing stuff with other stuff.

(eloquence, thy name is jonas.)

We should maybeeeee practice together sometime? Counter spells are super hard to work on without a witch for a partner. I'd be down for smth like that.

[anbu]

[Abjuration and enchantment, he recalls Jonas mentioning them at the time, though too distracted by the tension of being pantsed in a public place with foreign hands healing his injury. Now he has a clearer head.]

Spells which are focused around protection, defense, and support. [You're a perfect sidekick, Jonas.] I see.

There are a few techniques I am inclined to try. I don't require a partner for it. However, measuring skill level and the interaction between classes of magic could be valuable. Are you prepared for this? [Ominous...]

[coherer]

Yeah, I really don't want to do much fighting. I will if I have to, but I figure other ppl are stronger than me in that regard. There are like...... real gods here.

That said, I'm prepared. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have offered. And tbh I think I'm uniquely suited for the role.
