@fausteen, at some point in april

[extramortem]

( makoto sends a message to rokurou shortly after purchasing their promotions. many, many months of scrimping and saving... he could have elevated himself to this rank long ago, but he hadn't wanted to do so without rokurou. he had, after all, gotten the promotion that had gotten makoto out of the basement. one could perhaps call it honor among demons? )

Rokurou, check the information on your Watch. Something... should have changed.

( nervous and excited, he can't help but shift where he sits on the casino floor. he's never really talked about this sort of thing with the daemon before... did he even want a promotion to royalty? )

I just feel like it shouldn't be said that I don't repay my debts, with interest.

[ Unfortunately for Makoto, he's forgetting one very important fact: Rokurou is kind of stupid. Which is why the message he gets in response isn't exactly what he might be expecting. ]

Makoto!!!!
I can't get into my room..... I'm stuck outside
I'm tryin' to break down the door
Do you have a battering ram

( ................................ really, he should have expected this........ why hadn't he just waited outside of their old rooms

after taking a moment to pinch the bridge of his nose and practice deep breathing, he replies. )

Meet me here.

( the message is accompanied by a location ping: somewhere in the residential hallways above, where the Jacks' and Aces' slightly more modest penthouses are located. )

I'll explain it to you there.
