[Enjoy a video of Tommy being broadcast to all residents of Agra 10. He looks... sad. And tired.]

Listen, something happened. I'm not going to have as much time to manage the diner all on my own. I've asked before, but we've got new people and some people sounded sorta interested. Are there maybe people who would be willing to help cook? I can do prep stuff super fast, but I'm going to need people managing the rest of the meals for a few days.

Also, if I could get some extra hands in the greenhouse because I've gotta deal with a family thing but also gotta process all this quarantined food.

I don't ask for help a lot. But I could really stand to get a few more hands for a week or so.

English is a living language, it's why they update the fucking dictionary!

Mutants, while cool, do not get the final say on whether or not dingus is a word! Don't make me hit you, dude, Sansa might give me a disappointed look.

[doubled_speed]

Ha! That's where you're wrong. No one has ever come into my home and changed my dictionary.

[He doesn't have a dictionary. But he does enjoy winding Kyle up.]

You couldn't hit me if you wanted to, Jersey. So don't disappoint my Aunt.

[kyley_b]

[That just gets an inarticulate growl. Winding Kyle up is so very easy.]

I won't, she's super nice.

[doubled_speed]

I can already hear that you're thinking 'unlike you'

[kyley_b]

I'm sorry, was 'mind reader' one of your many gifts besides super speed and good bone structure? No? Then shut up.

[doubled_speed]

There you are, going on about my bone structure again. Why do you keep coming back to me and bones?

[kyley_b]

...Pure jealousy.

[doubled_speed]

I can't help that my genetics are AMAZING

[kyley_b]

I know you can't.

[doubled_speed]

DO you want to tough my amazing cheekbones? Be honest.

[He feels less bad about his friend not being here when he's harassing this guy.]

[kyley_b]

What?! Why would you even ask that?!

[doubled_speed]

You've got the vibe.

[kyley_b]

WHAT vibe?!

[doubled_speed]

The liking guy's faces.

[kyley_b]

You're saying that because I notice what people look like, I'm gay?

[doubled_speed]

Um, no. I notice what people look like and I'm not gay. But bone structure is definitely something guys notice in other guys when they're gay

[kyley_b]

It is not!

And my sexuality is irrelevant!

[doubled_speed]

It really is. Like, when I look at my boyfriend back home, I just look at him sometimes and am at AWE at his cheekbones. Like, holy fuck.

[kyley_b]

Yeah? But is he another superhero?

[doubled_speed]

David?

[Tommy has to stop and think. But then he shakes his head.]

Just a former tech support guy.

[kyley_b]

Oh. I'm surprised.

You must miss him like crazy.

[doubled_speed]

[Who was a super genius and knew shit and was going to change the world some day. But Tommy's biased, he just remembers the hot nerd in a sweater in the hallway who bought him noodles.]

Is crazy an amount? Yeah. Though I guess I've only been here six months without him even though, you know, I've been here longer than that.

[kyley_b]

...okay, that's some time travel type shit, I'm just gonna smile and nod.

You'll get back to him, dude.

[doubled_speed]

It's more that sometimes you leave this place for a short period of time, and you're home for a LONG time, and then you're back here. It's happened to a very small number of us.

[kyley_b]

Oh, jeez. I dunno what to say.
