[The message starts off with nothing but darkness for a few long seconds. It's quiet and still until, finally, a groan comes through. Another one follows behind it and the video shifts to show it apparently just pressed into the dirt.]

Fuck...

[The video turns again, whipping around as the person holding the comm seems to drop it a few times before finally righting it, camera facing the wrong way.]

How does...fucking... Shit...

[It falls again but then is lifted back up, turned around, and at long last the owner is shown: Richie Tozier squints at the device almost like he's in pain. Which...yeah. Sort of.]

Uh... Hey everyone... [He scratches his head.] You ever get the feeling like you missed something? Or a few somethings?

Comments

[Reeve actually looks a bit green at the suggestion.]

Absolutely not. If Alistair and Di Vinci had asked I would have, but not the girls. They were family.

[mrsklover]

[ Richie barks a laugh ]

FINALLY! I knew you could let loose and have fun. Now. Di Vinci... Are we talking about the painter, the turtle, or something else?

[plate_builder]

He was an inventor from a place called Florence I believe. Very charming. He ended up very enamored with my friend Alistair.

[But this is ancient history Richie!]

[mrsklover]

That...uh. Yeah that sounds like Leonardo. But in your universe I guess he was a twink.

[ Richie pauses and thinks a second, face scrunched as something hits him. ]

Huh. Did you notice that like. The percentage of gay people here and whatever is super way high? I'm kind of jealous my universe isn't like that.

[plate_builder]

Twink?

[It wasn't even his universe, and Reeve hadn't quite known what to do with him.]

Is it? Intriguing. And also useful, given how few women there are.

[They were unlucky like that.]

[mrsklover]

[ Richie snorts. ]

Yeah, I guess that is true. Could you imagine if everyone was fighting over like the same two girls? That would be insane.

[plate_builder]

Exactly. In addition, there is less concern about children in this manner.

[Which, after the few that had been here, Reeve found as a relief.]

[mrsklover]

Ugh. Can you imagine more babies? How many did we have here? Too many. Fucking babies.

[plate_builder]

[No, he didn't think he could. There weren't people who were suitable to take care of them. Not because they were men, but because they were just a bit so... unreliable.]

There were three. Sansa's child, then the two from that Padme lady.
