MIDNIGHT.

[sticksandbonesmods]

[A presence within the barrier of the fog watches...]

[mooninthewater]

[ Hm. That hair standing on the back of your neck feeling isn't fun. Is he able to make out any shapes within the fog after some scanning? ]

Therapy Building.

[amhran]

[ Caoimhe had yet to enter this strange building that she had learned recently belonged to Mizuki. Wanting to see it for herself, but also apologize to him as well. The elven woman found herself entering into its domain, with eyes looking around attempting to find where her friend may be. ]

Mi... Mizuki?

[ After a moment of being a bit lost and uncertain, she pulls out a copper wire and sends a sending spell to Mizuki. ]

'Hello, I wanted to talk to you. Are you at the place you built? I am inside as well.. Trying to find you.

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki only doesn’t hear Caoimhe because of the headphones he has on, listening to his music, but the sending spell snaps him out of his little trance. There’s something inherently… exciting to hear someone else in his head. The little jellyfish has to take a moment to recompose himself, else he lost to the other voices in his head yelling at him to seek out that oneness he so craves.

He’s good. He’s fine. It’s all okay. Caoimhe hadn’t wanted to commit to something like that anyway. This just felt like a tease…

Mizuki pops his head out from the pile of stuffed animals in the corner of the room, previously totally buried as he pulls his headphone out. ]

Caoimhe!! Hello!

Post Heimr Conversation.

[amhran]

[ WE CAN DO THIS AFTER THE OTHER THREAD BUT LMAO - -

Anyway, have a crying Caoimhe contacting Mizuki through sending after having a 'heart to heart' @ Heimr. ]

Where are you? Where may I find you?

[mooninthewater]

[ HhhHHHH Caoimhe's gonna be the death of him. It takes a moment for him to respond, having initial excited twitches about a new voice outside of his own swirling in the disgusting, elder god cocktail of his mind. Maybe when he replies, Caoimhe will hear whispers behind his words of his kin. It's not words, though it sounds like maybe they should be?

It's probably best she doesn't focus too much on it. ]

Caoi~mhe!!! Can you hear me, too~? How exciting, to be able to talk like this!! I'm at Elsword's, in his fish tank. I'll also be-

[ Aaaand the message cuts short. The other ambient noise stops, too, at least! ]

late september we are still in divorce arc 3

[harmacy]

[It's now day three of his feud with Elsword. He still feels like shit, and distracting himself hasn't made it any better... and Elsword hasn't come home this entire time, either. Should he start... moving out? It's Elsword's house, not his. Add doesn't really have a right to stay if it's causing this much of a headache, but...

... he's reviewed the data six times, and he still can't sort out his feelings. It's a difficult decision to make, but he has to realize sooner or later that he's in over his head. He needs an objective third party to weigh in. Someone who has more experience with human emotions and behaviour, someone he can trust to keep quiet...

He can't go near the river, so he's loitering outside the therapy building until Mizuki comes back that way. Add looks anxious, but he still forces a smile when he finally spots his target in the distance, closing out the holoscreen he'd been pretending to read.]

Mizuki. Are you busy right now? ... I can come back later, if you are. [please don't tell him to come back later he'll chicken out]

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki has been very busy himself!! He married Abigail! He has Hermes as a romanceable option! He got a science victory with Cleopatra! He beat his high score in Celeste!

"Mizuki, did you just play video games for the past few days?" Yes, next question— ]

Doctor Add!!!!! [ And yet, all his accomplishments, he's still so excited to see his commander friend. He practically radiates sunshine, or maybe that's just his bioluminescence? ] I'm not busy! I'd always make time for you, anyway!! Do you have orders for me??

end of month / no response needed unless ya wanna

[succiduous]

[Mizuki is getting a letter on his desk. It's very short and to the point and very much in Gnosis' handwriting.]

If you're looking for me at the inn, I've moved out. I'll be living in the lab at the far west of the Grove, just south of Aldric's Manor. The door will be unlocked for visitors most of the time.

Not that you've ever respected locked doors in the first place.

~Gnosis

sometime vaguely mid-December

[harmacy]

[The operation went smoothly—no surprises, no mistakes, just like he'd practiced. Of course, it's the first time he's operated on an Aegir or "Seaborn", but he had plenty of time to study the material... now, it's just a question of turning the device on and seeing what happens.

It should be fine. In theory.

... it's only a little worrying that he has, technically, never done this before. Not all the way through to the activation. It was always too risky, unless the patient was already about to die, and he could never be certain of the chip's true effectiveness. There are still so many unknowns, so many ways this could go horribly, horribly wrong. He's trying very hard not to think about it, considering that... really, what could he do about it now? He's done everything he can. Mizuki actually consented, so at least if the worst happens...

but it won't. probably.

Anyway. Mizuki has been out for awhile now, but the drugs should be wearing off soon... whenever he starts to come to, Add is sitting next to his bed in the clinic's recovery room, looking away from his array of holoscreens to smile at his patient. There's a mix of relief and nervousness hidden under the surface, as much as he tries not to show it.]

Good morning, Mizuki. How are you feeling? Any lingering pain or discomfort?

[the chip isn't active (yet), but Mizuki might notice the small scar above his eye, easily hidden under his bangs]

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki is, at least, a very easy patient to have. He follows orders very well, and manages to do most things without having even been asked. Having questionable experiments done on him is not exactly new to him. Perhaps alarmingly so, but Mizuki doesn't see an issue with any of this. He almost half expects the white-haired doctor in front of him with the screens in the backdrop to be Kal'tsit when he wakes up. This seems like something she would do, and he's a little too groggy in the moment after waking up to realize where he is.

Until Add speaks anyway.

He blinks very slowly, opting not to move yet, just in case. ] I don't think so. ...Tired. [ There's noise in his head, but on just waking up it all sounds more akin to a speaker being shoved underwater. ] Ah- did you do everything you needed to...?

after fam meet/being carried home

[simplicitas]

[God it is cold in this fucking house. Without the two space heaters and the Inquisition fireplace, it's gonna be really hard to keep warm. Luckily, Elsword has ten thousand blankets upstairs, and Mizuki's not gonna escape going upstairs no matter how hard he tries. All that matters is whose room they end up in.

Either way, Elsword's anger, while not forgotten, can't be felt as powerfully. No matter what room they're in, he's dragging three comforters out of the wardrobe and piling them onto the bed, where he — about as tactile as Mizuki, frankly — expects them to be cuddled up soon. It's a blanket nest.

Leon will come in after a moment and chuff and invite himself up here, too.]

...I don't think you're any of the things she said you are, for what it's worth.

[mooninthewater]

[ It's not hard to coerce Mizuki to follow. He intended to stay by Elsword, so that's what he's going to do. He doesn't utter a word while Elsword is getting his blankets. Mizuki still just wants to curl up and disappear — he's only not doing that because he wants to make sure Elsword is okay. ]

What, that I'm not Seaborn? [ A soft, strained laugh. ] …It's alright. She has every right to be upset with me. We did do all of those things. Iberians call it "the Profound Silence". "Worse than any Catastrophe, any war — the greatest tragedy to befall Terra."

Isn't that what monsters cause?

Christmas Day

[simplicitas]

[There's a note taped to Mizuki's bedroom door. When did Elsword leave this here....... y'all live together how'd he do this............]

Hi Mizuki!!

I made you this. I love you!!

[Also hanging from the doorknob is a knit plushie. It, uh... it sure Looks like that, huh. He tried his best.]

[mooninthewater]

[ ajkljglkdsj WHAT THE FUCK!!! It's so cute, Mizuki spends a whole ass minute just rolling around on his bed with it. Then, he'll grab the notebook supplies and fun decorative stickers he got for Elsword to bring to him directly.

Aaaand before he's able to say anything he's getting kissed. ]

Silent Nig̴̼͐h̵̤̝͝t, Holy Nig̴̼͐h̵̤̝͝t.

[devilishkouhai]

/dreamsquence.exe
establishing connection....

It's Christmas evening, or, at around a time adequately acceptable around Christmas where Night comes and an unholy presence forms. Where darkness does not meet light, and one devishly inhumane ai, decides to make an attempt to enact her intricate plan - or gift.

A Dream unlike any other before - but also like everything in which Mizuki knows. She attempts to corral him into her universe, allowing her full control of what can be or what is to come.

Yet he cannot remember anything from before, and all he will remember is who he is, what he is, and that he has been living on the beaches of Honolulu(Hawaii) for as long as he can remember.

The story of his childhood will simply align with that of which Honolulu can provide - she is attempting to do this. There is every possible manner or way that it could all fail. However, she is trying her hardest to succeed at her little stunt, but she is aware that she could get caught. Unfraid, even.

She doesn't care, she intends to at least try to successfully create a fun time for her Bestie Best friend.

All that remains to be, is whether or not in this dream. As he enters the beaches of Honolulu, and sees BB's face there greeting him with an ice cream. Is whether or not, Mizuki thinks he has always lived in Honolulu (Hawaii), or, if he remembers everything from Terra to the Grove. Thus realizing, BB was trying to play around with his mind.

Hello~~~ Earth to Mizuki, can you hear me!!!? [ Is what she says to test the grounds, tilting her head left and right. The scene around them is full of life, with people running into the distance. Heading off into the beaches, or rounding along the boardwalk looking at the different stores nearby. Many people were playing ball with one another, and enjoying some time sunbathing beneath the sun. All the while, BB is there before him, in a casual bathing suit. Holding out an ice cream for him. ]

[mooninthewater]

[ Me scrambling to roll for how upset We Many is gonna be- 15, BB's good--

It's not hard to take over a dreamscape and, more importantly, rewrite history a little bit for a jellyfish. As far as We Many are concerned, We don't much care about humane connections to their pasts like that, anyway. We'd been trying so hard to convince Mizuki to just hand all that pain over, anyway, despite the protests. BB might feel like metaphorical reins are being willingly handed over to her. It might even feel a little… "condescending"? That word doesn't feel right. Perhaps there's no human word to fit it.

We like to play games.

She doesn't get much a glimpse into the hivemind, really, but everything else is free game. Which is why Mizuki wakes up a little blearily, but with an immediate recognition of a place he's not actually all that familiar with. ]

Huh?? Oh, I must've dozed off, sorry! [ Ice cream! For him!!!! BB's so nice to him. He absolutely takes it with his big, doofy smile. ] Ehe, thanks.

packidge

[livlaughlove]

[Mizuki will, at some point, find that a note and a large package have been dropped off at his door.

Inside is a blanket of decent size and thickness.]

Mizuki,
Please take care of yourself. Stay warm.
- Livio

Backdated tooo sometime in May, this is their first (1st) therapy session

[lupusxylem]

[By the time that first Tuesday rolls around, Wolfwood...finds himself getting cold feet. He very nearly ditches the appointment entirely, realizing at the final hour that maybe he doesn't want to bear his soul like this, even if Mizuki is one of the few people here he trusts to not blab it all to everyone he sees.

...but he promised. And, damn it, if there's one thing he keeps, it's a promise.

So he's here at the therapy building, bright and early. He figures Mizuki is waiting for him, but just in case...he'll knock on the door to his "office" anyway.]

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki is indeed waiting. He'd been waiting for a while, actually, as Mizuki has been trying to make sure everything was perfect. And by "perfect", I mean, of course, that instead of reading his psychology textbooks to prepare for any of this he just spent two hours nudging the same plant until it's perfectly in the right spot.

So he's doing well!

When Wolfwood knocks, Mizuki swings the door open with a big smile that somehow seems even brighter when he confirms it's truly Wolfwood at the door. Thank god he's wearing sunglasses. ]

Hello! I'm so glad you made it! Please, come in, make yourself comfortable.

[ He'll shuffle aside and only close the door once Wolfwood is inside. There's a bamboo water spout that's making the faintest sound of running water, but other than that, it's mostly quiet. Calming. You know how it is. ]

And now The Present

[lupusxylem]

[Hey hi hello Mizuki where are you your favorite therapy patient is having a really fucking bad day-

He's kindof...been stalking the beach all morning, up and down, pacing around and around because he both needs to be alone, but also needs to talk to someone.

So, like. Where is the jebblyfish Wolfwood needs him.]

[mooninthewater]

[ In looking for Mizuki, Wolfwood will get suddenly hoisted by several Mizuki tentacles from seemingly nowhere, though on dropping his own camouflage it's obvious Mizuki had just been hiding, that's all. And as for the noodles... well, he shifts Wolfwood just a little to the left and sets him down. ]

Sorry, you were about to step inside my colony. [ Beat. ] I found these little guys... they're kinda like sea monkeys? Anyway, I introduced different sources of food to them to see how they'd share with one another. It seems they're making three different factions within the tidepool all with the different food sources, and even organized a trade route between one another. It's very fascinating. Would you like to watch?

Last week of June vaguely.

[ghostharasser]

[Where is Mizuki ....is he hanging out on the beach? In a cabana? Dipper is on a mission to find him so he will comb the whole beach if he has to.]

Mizuki? Mizukiiii-

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki tends to like sleeping/napping out in the water. A sea jelly needs his 12+ hours of sleep, after all. (No.) (Thanks for giving him something to do, Dipper.)

He pokes his head up from the water when he hears Dipper calling from him from along the shore, and he hoists himself from the water onto the sand, wringing out his hair as he gives a little yawn. ]

Dipper~ I'm here! Did you need something?

[AFTER THE COOKIE DRAMAS]

[amethystic]

( hhhhhey, mizuki, what's good? by which i mean, at some point in the day- maybe late, almost sunset- felicity will hesitantly approach, toying with the edge of her beach coverup. she's not wearing any of her jewelry. or her makeup.



there's a rope-like bruise around her neck. )

Um- hey. Could... I talk to you about something...?

[mooninthewater]

... [ Hey??? Hey?????? He hates that, thank you. He can't help but itch wildly at his own neck - rather, on his originium monitor collar - on seeing her. Hhhh, it's suddenly so tight? He doesn't like that- ] Felicity...

What happened? Are you okay??

[amethystic]

Mizuki?

( here comes fellie, late in the day. sun's about to set, even. she seems a bit tired, but she holds out two crystals. )

I need you to do me a favor. I'd like you to take these into your hand and focus thoughts of protection into them. It's to make a shield charm, if I can do it right. I just... thought multiple people could help make it stronger.

[mooninthewater]

[ He tilts his head quizzically, pulling up his phone to start typing on it before turning it around to Fel. ]

Focus my thoughts of protection into them...? Like... how would I do that, exactly? Who should I be focusing on protecting? Do I have to do any magic-y stuff?

[submittome]

[ The problem with two Affogato's is they both absolutely adore their little jelly. And neither really wants to share with the other. However, they can compromise until one of them is dead by the other's hand.

Which means ganging up on Mizuki.

So when finally come to an accord - and AFTER they get a certain set of piercings - they track their little love down. They have got to show him, after all.

And honestly, just cover him in kisses. ]

Mizuki, are you here?

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki's own doppel... well, didn't really have much of a chance. He couldn't get too far without the babies in the River immediately clocking him as a threat and tugging him into the water so they could have a snack. So he knows there's probably something weird going on? But, really, it isn't as if he's going to fuss about it too much. He rarely does.

When he's called, almost like he's a dog being excited their owner is home, he gets up from what he's doing and... uhm. Hm. ]

« Um, I don't suppose this is a secret twin you've not told me about yet...? »

sometime in december hand flap

[submittome]

[ One day Mizuki will find a small elegantly wrapped box waiting for him, his name scrawled in Affogatos familiar hand on an attached slip of paper. Inside the box he will find a small stone pendant and a note. ]

"Dear Little Love,

Though it will never replace your voice, that of which I dearly miss, please allow me to attempt to make amends for being the reason it was ripped from you in the first place. And please accept my humblest apologies I have taken far too long to do so.

Though Ydaliar has stated it should transmit your thought with intent, I am unaware of how well it will do so, nor of which how easy it should be.

But I hope it helps, even just the smallest bit.

Forever adoringly yours,
Affogato ♡"

tal will have to deal w my lack of icons until I get paid-

[mooninthewater]

[ Oh. A strange rock! Should he eat it?

...

No, not this time, probably. He does hold onto it as he reads the note, though, giving it a look over when he finishes it. Transmits his thoughts, huh? That seems... hm. Well, he doesn't really ever lie or hide things, so that's probably all fine, right? Does he have to activate it? Is there like a trigger thought to get it to work? What's the distance?

And, most importantly, did Affogato really think any of this was his fault?? Mizuki's just as much to blame - and Suri even more so... Huff. He should try to use it now, then, if just to let Affogato know he's being silly... but that he appreciates it, anyway.

Thus, he's off to find his love. ]

Affogato? Affogato??

the 1st

[submittome]

[ Of course after the encounter with Cacao, Affogato goes straight back to the Therapy Building and finds Mizuki. Because he made a promise to Mizuki, to talk to him about this if it came up. He hates himself, he hates his Alternate self with his stupid memories that screwed his feelings over again, he hates that he can't just let go. That Cacao keeps pushing and pulling him.

He also made a promise that if Mizuki said no, then that is that, pure and simple. ]

Mizuki, darling~ Are you around? We need to speak.

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki is... well, Mizuki is sleeping. He's been uncharacteristically tired lately, but maybe with all the Seaborn frozen under the river, he's just exhausted? Or... something?? Who knows! It's probably nothing to worry about.

He does pretty immediately wake up when he hears Affogato's voice. Despite the haze and grogginess of waking up, there's still a delight to hearing his beloved. A sleepy, yet cheerful "Affogato~!" will be heard in his head, and moments later he'll even pull himself from the bed-couch to embrace his love. ]

What is it?

March // ain runs into the therapy office vibrating at the speed of sound

[eidxiety]

[Dragging himself to the therapy building... he needs therapy. Yeah. Therapy will help him. (Hi Elsword, hi Affo he's waving.)]

Mr. Jellyfish... [Throwing himself down onto the chaise lounge.] I need... relationship advice? I think romantic, but maybe not? You'll have to tell me, haha...

[Undoubtedly he's already gone to Wolfwood and Ezell about this though, results on those threads TBD but he's here because Mizuki is always practical and smart. Mizuki will know what to do.]

What's it mean when someone you've known for three years starts touching you everywhere and calls you beautiful and cute?

[mooninthewater]

[ The jellyfish is absolutely going to take his seat next to Ain, flopping his head against him since he seems a bit... lost? Mizuki claims to not be a smart man, but he can put two and two together pretty easily. He's met this Add, and Ain said "three years", so... ]

Is this about Mister Add?

MIZUKI DAY

[sesa]

[Okay take TWO, Sesa is going to come visit the Therapy Building...fully expecting to actually find Mizuki here this time, not missing and strapped to a giant tree. Instead, he expects to find him on the couch playing videogames, or maybe in a session with someone (prompting him to wait politely until it's done). Either way, he'll come up to Mizuki whenever he finds him, his tail swishing happily behind him as he hands him a small box.]

Happy Birthday, Mizuki. May your star never cease to shine as brightly as the sun. I imagine you have many plans for today, but I'm free to play anything you would like later, if you want!

[Inside the box, Mizuki will find...another box!! Two of them, actually. The first, leftmost box is a little bento box that Sesa put together himself. It has all of the ingredients of any good bento. Rice, veggies, rolled egg, little sausages cut to look like octopus...some of it's burnt, but given Sesa made it himself, that's to be expected. Next to the box is a smaller box, but this one is actually wrapped like a proper present with cute paper and a bow. And inside...

Nestled on a soft bit of paper is a little piece of glass fashioned to look like a sea jelly. It's affixed to a metal chain, fashioned to be worn or kept as a charm. There are also little shells and glittery bits from the river embedded in the glass to add variety in color and texture.]

Re: MIZUKI DAY

[mooninthewater]

[ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sesa is getting a big ol' hug from Mizuki the second he wishes him a happy birthday. The little sea jelly is practically hopping in place with the sweetest smile. He hasn't even opened the boxes yet, he's just so excited Sesa's here.

And when he does?? Sesa is getting at least two more hugs, and being lifted off the ground for a little twirl. ]

drags this out of npc contact so the mod inbox doesn't explode

[sailingfor]

[previously on sticks and bones: THORNS, WHY]

Smart of you to carry an antidote— [but also ow, and he's out of breath] —if you could do me a favour and not cart me off to the resident Gargoyle quite yet, I'd appreciate it.

[mooninthewater]

That's not a good idea, Mister Thorns. You shouldn't keep this on you. You'll end up hurting people you care about involuntarily - and if you let it get too bad, Zahliya won't be able to get rid of it in one go. He'll have to take it in sessions... and that's not good.

I'll respect your wishes, but at least stick with me. I can keep it from progressing.

after Neo Eden Fammeet

[psychokinesia]

[After the blow up with Ain, the rest of the meeting goes by in a blur. Eventually it's over, and Ain and Ezell never return. Everyone goes their separate ways into the streets of Neo Eden.

And Add... wanders. He doesn't want to be anywhere right now. He doesn't want to go anywhere someone might find him and tell him he fucked up again. Any further reminders of it would be unnecessary.

Maybe it's subconscious, or Dynamo's worry leading him, or just pure chance—whatever the reason for it, he finds himself passing a familiar food truck, a small crowd of holograms still bustling pointlessly nearby. He slows to a stop, staring at it.

...

He hasn't had anything since this morning, so... maybe he'll feel better if he eats something.

Add shuffles awkwardly to the counter, hesitant to make any kind of eye contact with the seaborn on the other side. His tone lacks its usual bite.]

Whatever's fine. Surprise me.

[mooninthewater]

[ Fortunately, Mizuki is more than happy to serve Add without too many questions (for now). It's hard not to be aware of the Everything That Happened(tm), but at the very least Mizuki could get him food before accosting him with questions. He doesn't have to wait very long, either, since y'know... real people take precedent over the holograms.

Unfortunately, however, Mizuki's food always looks... strange and unappetizing. Thus, when Add is happily passed some seafood kebabs, it might look like a bad idea to eat it. But Mizuki is beaming at him anyway, like he won't regret it! And, realistically, if he does brave tasting it, he'll find the food is strangely very good. ]

Hello, Mister Add! S'on the house, you don't gotta pay. It'll lift your mood a little, too. Though, if you really want help with that, I'm more than happy to take a break and listen to you.

Early May, Therapy Building

[lupusxylem]

[Wolfwood feels weird and sad and he doesn't like it.

He's due for his weekly therapy session and he's come to the realization he's probably going to have to talk about this weird, sad feeling, and he likes that even LESS. Part of him kindof wants to maybe just skip it, but he hasn't skipped a week since Neo Eden (and that wasn't exactly their fault they kindof got sucked away from the Grove and also he was in prison for a bit), so he knows Mizuki would probably come looking for him. Squirt has a knack for Finding You whether you want to be found or not.

Also, he's like. A werewolf now? Haha funny he gets it, but he figures that will ALSO make him easier to find, so like.

Ugh.

Mizuki will be getting a knock on his door.]

[mooninthewater]

[ The therapy building is always open, of course. Mizuki had intended it to be used by everyone and considered basically a public space. Still, he finds it funny when people knock all the same. It is still his "house" he supposes?

He's not... really all that surprised to see Wolfwood as a creature. He'd seen several others walking around. And at least Wolfwood is still pretty identifiable. He gives a soft little smile, as well as a wave. ]

Hi hi~. You can just come right in, you know?

also early may, also therapy building

[psychokinesia]

[It's his first time in the therapy building, so Add wanders around a bit while he looks for Mizuki's office. Not that he's here for therapy, since he's fine and extremely normal, but Mizuki gave him a lot of good advice last time. He should at least give him an update on how everything turned out.

... even if it's kind of obvious, since Add and Ain are now living together. But still!

The snake body makes it a little difficult to maneuver, but he manages not to slam too many doors on himself. Peeking into the rock climbing room, sensory deprivation tanks, the paint room... the rage room is intriguing. Might have to come back to that one. But for now he finds himself in the library, his tail curled up around him in a big messy heap as he frowns at the selection of books. None of these are about robots...]

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki isn't going to question everyone who wants to use his building. It's here for everyone, after all. But, y'know, he also isn't going to ignore snake Add (Snadd) coming in either. He knows very vaguely about things that have been happening. Ain is also his client, after all.

So, of course, he will eventually wiggle his way into the library with his usual smile. ]

Hello, Mister Add. It's good to see you again~. Is there something specific you're looking for? Maybe I can help.

[before mushies]

[lilyberation]

( hhhi, mizuki- lily's here at the therapy building! )

Um- Mizuki...? Are you free right now...?

[mooninthewater]

I am! Though, I'd always make time for you, Miss Lily.

[ She's being greeted with a hug, of course. ]

What can I do for you?
