happy august schegual twst fans

Phones aren't allowed in class, but the freshmen still had a way to communicate when something was needed.

They found out about it on accident.

Deuce had spilled colors on himself while in Crewel's class again and Ace was desperately trying to clean up the evidence to avoid the professors ratting them out to Riddle. Yuu was, once again, trying to make sure Grim wasn't trying to eat toxic chemicals.

When Ace pulled off his gloves, to grab a paper towel, he noticed the spatter of green and yellow coloring on his forearms. He found it odd; usually the only thing that showed up on his skin, at this point, were bruises and various cuts that weren't his. When Riddle collared him, for the third time since Monday, he'd see all of his friends scramble to cover their necks to hide the embarrassing marks.

But this? This was beautiful.

However, from their groupchat, it appeared the others were just as confused as he was:

does anyone know why ma forearms are covered in green and yellow? It's not a burn, bruise, paper cut, or an open wound. Is it a chemical? Deuce, Ace, and Yuu are in chemistry. Since my metal isn't irritated, it can't be any chemical 🤔 It's definitely not an acid or corrosive 😶 IF ONE OF YOU FOUND A KNEW WAY TO GET HURT, IT'S GOING TO BE TROUBLE FOR ALL OF US. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE OKAY.

He picked up his phone. He decided to answer for Deuce himself since said card soldier was still washing away the spatter in the bathroom during their in-between classroom run.

deuce just spilled some coloring agents from class hes fine guys just washing them away ... ... ... Do you think we can start writing notes on each other? When we can't use our phones? someone test this shit out.

As the three of them, Deuce, Ace, and Yuu, stepped into their next class, they rolled up their sleeves and found a wall of their friends' handwriting all over their forearms.

Testing, does this work?

It appears it does.

ꪖ᭙ꫀᦓꪮꪑꫀ!!!!

Despite the hardships that came with hiding the bruises, dodging the cuts, and the embarrassing injuries they can't remember getting, it was a comfort to know they still had a means of communication. Even when they didn't have phone, they would still have each other.

Although, it did take a lot of effort to not laugh at Ortho's final edition to their writing:

As much as this is a wonderful discovery, we should limit the amount we write as my school gear is still metal. And, because it's metal, the handwriting still shows :(

He bit his lip, to make sure he did giggle, and wrote his own comment:

lets get you a fabric sleeve of some kind then.

That's actually a great idea Ace!
