[It's a little earlier than Yamaguchi expected to hear his phone buzzing. But he manages not to drop it fumbling to check the messages, and sits up a little straighter. Uh oh. What happened? He's going to have to switch into damage control mode pretty fast here.]
Tsukki we've talked about this, you're not allowed to go to jail
[And Yamaguchi would do anything to be there right now, so he could help in a more practical way than just listening and trying to talk Tsukishima down from murder. It’s hard not to feel like he’s being left behind, actually, being the only first year not at a training camp. Even if Hinata isn’t there legitimately. But he definitely can’t admit to Tsukki, especially in the state he’s in now, that he maybe sort of just a little bit understands the frustration that must have driven Hinata to do something so insane.]
Everyone’s kind of freaking out now here, too. The news already spread.
[Except Yamaguchi's not some show-off who has to make everything about him. He's putting in the work to keep things going. Every single day. The whole team has. Finally earning respect from their rivals.
Then this stunt.
Making it look like Karasuno can't control itself at all.]
Great.
They'd better not blame the team for this.
[Tsukki didn't choose to be here, but if Shiratorizawa decides Karasuno is too much trouble... That would be worse.]
Yeah. I don't know what we'd do if it came to that
But it probably won't, right? I mean, he'll probably just get some kind of punishment and everything will go back to normal
Pfft, maybe they'll make him write an essay about what he did wrong. You know that face he makes when he's thinking too hard and you can almost smell something burning?
[Oh god, what a relief. He can't be there to read Tsukki's face or tone or body language, so that is the only hint he has that maybe he's calming down a little.]
Isn't it just the fuel he gets from eating his own weight in food?
[Only a little. But that's all to Yamaguchi's credit. No one else could have talked Tsukki down from the blinding rage. Pulling in a breath, he shoots back - ]

Tsukki we've talked about this, you're not allowed to go to jail
What happened??
no subject
The ABSOLUTE JACKASS just
CRASHED
CAMP
no subject
NO
Seriously??
[Even for Hinata, that's... a lot.]
no subject
Yes.
Get THIS
the creep heard us talking about not breaking into the Junior Olympics gymnasium and THOUGHT THIS WAS BETTER????? SMHOW???
no subject
Can I be implicated in this??
I'm too young to be an accessory to a crime!
no subject
They will NEVER FIND THE BODY

It's really hard to cover that kind of thing up when you have a connection and a clear motive
no subject
It was humiliating.
no subject
[Or something like that, anyway.]
He’ll get kicked out as soon as someone notices anyway, right? Just try not to strangle him until then, okay?
no subject
Not enough
We're on break because the coaches are all DEALING WITH HIM
[Instead of the people who were actually invited. Whatever. Not like Tsukki asked to be here anyway.]
no subject
What’s it like there, anyway? Is it really fancy?
no subject
Of course
Should have just stayed home for all the good it does me.
no subject
Might as well take advantage of what you can while you’re stuck there, I guess?
Maybe the food will be really good or something
no subject
[The fact he is not letting this go?
Probably sending up gigantic red flags. Tsukki doesn't usually harp on a point once made...]
no subject
Tsukkiiiiiii
You know if you end up in prison, we won’t be able to have Jurassic Park marathons anymore
Or use my grandpa’s telescope
no subject
I'm ANGRY, okay?
I have never been _THIS_ angry at Hinata.
[Frustrated? Annoyed? Sure.
This is different. Every breath full of needles.]
no subject

no subject
I think people already knew Hinata is, uh... different, though. So it doesn't have to reflect on all of us
[...Wait a minute, though.]
Are you worried about that kind of thing, Tsukki? Like, how people view our team as a whole?
no subject
I guess
Everyone worked TOO HARD
If Hinata gets benched and fucks it all up NOW
no subject
But it probably won't, right? I mean, he'll probably just get some kind of punishment and everything will go back to normal
Pfft, maybe they'll make him write an essay about what he did wrong. You know that face he makes when he's thinking too hard and you can almost smell something burning?
no subject
[Hey. Half a joke.
Maybe this tactic is working...?]
no subject
Isn't it just the fuel he gets from eating his own weight in food?
Time skip?
Be fair
TWICE his weight!
They're calling us in.
Sure! o/
Let me know what happens, okay? Remember, no murder.
