the sarcasm on the phone gets him to snort, actually, and he tucks his phone back in his pocket, casually turning a little bit to shield her typing from view. a little louder, he says - ] Yeah, thanks for tutoring me, Rita-chan, this paper's a mess. Show me that problem?
[ you're so smart and cool
anyway so now that no one will look their way weirdly over them hunched over her phone, ichiro speaks quieter again. ] Got any idea who it might be? When did it start?
...Yeah. [ hmmmmmm..... ichiro puts his chin in his hand, thinking. ]
I mean, Sakyou's way too nice. I don't think Denji's - I like the dude, but I don't know if he'd think that far ahead, you know? The others... yeah, doesn't really make sense.
[ weird. ] Maybe it's like what happened to Catra last week - she was acting like, super school spirited. It was kind of freaky, and we never figured out where it came from.
[ i'm crying. this makes him laugh a little bit, and he muffles it behind his hand. ]
They are stupid, yeah. [ really fucking stupid actually every rule here sucks ] Let me know when you get your voice back, okay? Or if you find out anything. I'll cover for you if you need someone to be loud.
[ he is in fact very good at that. ] And - I'm still making good on ice cream, if you want it. Haha.

[ ichiro reaches for his phone and pulls up the word document app, then hands it to her. ]
Here - can you type?
no subject
I have my own phone.
[but then she'll quickly type in a different message:]
Look, don't tell anyone, all right?
I'm pretty sure someone's screwing with me and I don't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing it worked.
[she does all of this with one hand, as the other is still holding his arm.]

This morning.
No clue. Maybe someone I got pissed off at recently?
[a pause... and she adds:]
That might be a lot of people.
no subject
ichiro snorts at that, though. ]
Okay. You got a list? We can try and figure out who's petty enough to ask for some way to mess with you.
no subject
tsuyukusa, sieghart, sakyou, denji, caiman,
[it looks like she's trying to remember more, but looking at the list so far...]
I don't think any of these are very likely.

rita crosses her arms, thinking...]
no subject
...Did you break a rule?
no subject
[... she shrugs??]
no subject
Are you sure? [ he sounds like he's at least a little bit joking. ]
no subject
I didn't.
[shown as she holds her phone firmly pointed at his face! ...then...]
A lot of the rules here are stupid and pointless, so who even knows if I broke one?
I'm going to try talking to a dorm head.

Okay. Later.
[later for talking? later for ice cream? it's unclear, just that it will be later. and then she leaves.]
