Yeah, sorry it took so long. Won't happen again.

Are you okay?

[text]

[buildingitsir]

you better be sorry
sheesh
wait was this even your fault?

i'm fine
my issues were all before this thankfully
went to sh'ka to have a change of scenery
just in the nick of time apparently

[in_extremis]

I'm working out the details. I'll have a better apology later. I don't know.

I'm having a hard time believing that you're issue-free now. Is that all you needed, a vacation? My girlfriends usually call me on the road at least once.

[buildingitsir]

apology accepted
you don't seem like the type to do this shit on purpose

no i'll always have issues
moreso than usual now because of some
uh
super strong girl?
met here where the glownies are kept
figured if she was still in the city
she wouldn't find me in sh'ka after reeve and richie fixed me up

[in_extremis]

I guess we don't know each other that well.

You're not the only one that's had a run in with her. Do you think someone finally caught up with her? Unless you had a really bad first impression of Omega, I don't think your girl is on the list.

[buildingitsir]

on accident?
maybe
on purpose?
seems less likely

not omega
i've seen her around and she doesn't fit the descrip
dark skin black hair bright eyes
she was being really fucking weird
like, invasive kinda weird so i called her a bitch
and she did pretty significant damage to my jaw and throat area
that was fun
one of richie's shirts is ruined now from my thirium

[in_extremis]

Demon-doors were not an intended outcome, that's true. Just something I should have anticipated better.

As concerned as I am for Richie's wardrobe, we've got to zero in on why you thought you should call a girl a bitch. Do you want to tell me about it while I check your face?

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, it's fixed now. You're saying Sh'ka didn't have any of the craziness?

Text

[buildingitsir]

we had an energy storm
that's about it
when the network came back up
saw that message from that robin person

feel like i dodged a bullet this time around
how bad did it get over there?

Re: Text

[crystalmaster]

It was pretty bad. Four Gates to a parallel dimension opened and dragged people in and there were monsters people had to kill to close everything off.

Text

[buildingitsir]

damnit
can't we have a normal like
WEEK
in this place?
did those monsters destroy anything else like the volcano?
i'd like to have a hotel to return to
when i go back that is

starting to think sh'ka might be safer
even if it's a bit quieter

Re: Text

[crystalmaster]

It doesn't seem like it, does it.

There's been some damage, yeah. The hotel's still standing.

Sh'Ka most definitely seems safer.

[buildingitsir]

first volcano
then strange ass girl with too much strength
now portals to hell
or whatever the equivalent is
i've been here awhile
but man
those portals kinda take the cake
metaphorically

this is also metaphorically exhausting

text

[pursuitofcappiness]

It's safe now.

What girls?

text

[buildingitsir]

safe as this fucking planet can be

well
i should've said 'girl'
singular

it was last month or so
found her in the area we keep the glownies in
she was really fucking weird
like REALLY weird
made me super uncomfortable
called her a bitch
she tried to tear my throat out
she did other damage too but like
that was the worst bit

[pursuitofcappiness]

Okay, does she have a name? Description? Is she still here?

[buildingitsir]

she tried to tear my throat out
leaving reeve and richie to try and patch my fucking circuits up
and you want me to keep TRACK of that psycho?
no i didn't catch a name
makes me wish i could hook up to the device
you'd see my pov
anyways
dark skinned
curly hair
felt like she was toying with me
asking really personal questions and shit
idk what more description to give without
cancelling out my personality to give an 'every little detail' description
and i'm not doing that

[pursuitofcappiness]

I just feel like we should be on the look for her if she comes back and tries that again. Or on anyone else.

What do you mean, hook up to the device? Is there one that would read your thoughts?

[buildingitsir]

you must be new
great
i'm york stark
i'm an android, i'm not organic
so if i could hook up to the device
literally
then you could see what i saw
but i can't
soooooo

[plate_builder]

Bad things. It was miserable. I want to sleep for a week. I don't think I've cast fire that often that quick in at least a decade. Perhaps not even when we had the vine invasion last summer.

[buildingitsir]

REEVE
you better be taking care of yourself
or i'll make mini annoy you until you do

are you okay?
i know you were healing up from the volcano situation
and i didn't get a chance to really ask when you and mini came to fix me
maybe i should get you a weapon or something
so that way you have something in case your magic runs out

[plate_builder]

Mini is already annoying me, and that's between the repairs I have to do to his frame.

I was hauled through a gate by a vine, harried by a number of dangerous things, had to fight a giant monster, and all while managing the actions of children in a way I did not appreciate but will have to deal with.
I am tired. I miss having a rifle for emergencies. I wish I had defensive or curative materia, and I'm really tempted to just crawl into Richie's bed and not come out for a few weeks.

[buildingitsir]

oh good then he's on the right track
>:)

i'm not religious
but
jesus that's a lot
that's so much
can you ask someone with the security datapoint if you can borrow their gun or something?
or i can ask for you

aww that's sweet
at this rate you two are going to be like
my dads or something
i'd be okay with that
at least you have the better fashion

[plate_builder]

From what I understand, that is a bad idea. The guns can be a problem, sometimes they don't work, or you can get yourself hurt.

'At this rate'? York, I think we already are. Richie's dressed us both.
Though I guess that makes him your dad and me that weird guy your dad sleeps with.
Suits are hard to argue with.

[buildingitsir]

yeah you’re right

i hate he made me wear that stupid shirt
80s fashion man
if you can even call it that

i see you both as my dads in a way
so youre just doing dad things
i would look better in a suit
