#nobori also solving another missing persons case while he's at it (Akari's)

[ghostypetrainer]

"ancient hisui reincarnation au + social media au" call that die-me travel twitter

anyways, passing over the. angsty bits. the idea of nobori finding his old cell phone (mayhaps arcphone?) and his fingers immediately twitch to twitter in an old habit and he just. tweets. "what is this" on the Official Former Subway Boss Ingo account maybe 10 FUCKING years after his supposed "death" is just killing me.

emmet tries to find out what the hell is happening and sees a teen that looks strangely similar to his twin brother that looks the age of ~how long it's been since ingo's disappearance and immediately, logically assumes he's ingo's Child (as per normal in these aus) but the ONLY way to contact his POTENTIAL NEPHEW (!!!) and potental ONLY LINK TO WHAT HAPPENED TO INGO (!!!!!!!!) is through God Damn Fucking Twitter.

and then it comes out that ingo time traveled and well. what the shit but also that makes so much sense because no one could find you dear dragons but also how were you able to tweet and also how did the phone have charge and also- "my dad's name isn't ingo" wha-

and then it comes out that ingo died and reincarnated in the wormholes and it's just. sure. why not at this point.

and I am so sorry for the rambling blocks of text, however! brain go whoosh.

Well, the thing about Nobori is that he doesn't look like Ingo- except for the eyes. Window to the soul, you know?

But the idea of Nobori just. subconsciously managing to log into twitter and post a tweet without actually remembering what a.) phones are and b.) what twitter is. Is just. so funny. Everyone on twitter freaks out and thinks that someone hacked Boss Ingo's account which damn. the nerve of doing that. Except the hacker sounds just as confused as anyone else?

Nobori doesn't even realize people are trying to talk to him through twitter at first. He discovers he can post pictures! He takes pictures of Lady Sneasler's latest batch of kits, and one picture captures a bit of his own face. Enough for Emmet to see his eyes, so eerily similar to those of his long missing and presumed dead twin. And then it all just kind of snowballs from there, as he finds out more about Nobori and they slowly piece his connection to Ingo together.

but also

emmet: wait. so you just. took your phone off your corpse?? you stole a dead man's phone???

nobori: when you put it that way. it sounds bad. but it was my corpse so it's fine actually?

emmet: when you get home, we are having a long conversation young man.

nobori: you aren't the boss of me. :(
