[ okay we had a solid day of moping surely we can get back to normal now. Surely. SURELY we can be normal again.

E is! Outside! He looks fine! He has a pack of tarot cards that he is shuffling and a phone that he keeps looking at like, maybe he intends to make a call or something. ]

[columbidaring]

[ AFTER A BIT, just. sighing and texting Sanguine. ]

[ Hey I know I'm probably the last person you want to see or hear from ever again but I wanted to say I'm sorry. ]


[ THEN ALSO, texting Boss. ]

[ hey wyd ]

[criminaljustice]

[. . . wat.

E, pls. give yourself a break, even???

making coffee ]

[columbidaring]

[ i had ALL OF YESTERDAY TO HAVE A BREAK ]

[ I guess I could have guessed that ]

[text]

[awakenerd]

Okay how do I say this in a non-creepy way? Don't freak out, but I'm behind you?


Like, a ways. I can go somewhere else if you want.

[criminaljustice]

[ need something? ]

Re: [text]

[columbidaring]

Well that was definitely not a non-creepy way to say it but hello dear. It's fine. [ TURNS... AROUND TO LOOK ]

[columbidaring]

[ mm I'm weirdly intimidated by this conversation maybe it was too early. oh well too late to go back on it ]

[ uhhhh I guess, to say sorry? ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ You beat me to it, huh.
Actually, I wanted to apologize for the way I kept terrorizing you.
And also the uh choking and beating you to death? Definitely that part.
You didn't deserve any of it and I'm sorry. ]

[columbidaring]

[ To be entirely fair to you, you were out of your god damn mind the whole time. So it's not like you could be held accountable for your actions. ]

[criminaljustice]

[Boss is typing... for a solid minute before he apparently stops and erases whatever he wrote.




a pause



Boss is typing...--

if it's what happened with me, it's fine. we're even.

comforting?]

[columbidaring]

[ that's... not comforting ]

[ a long, long time of Typing... ]

[ ok. ]

[criminaljustice]

[ i understand if you don't want to see me to talk about it. but it's not something i think text is good for ]

[columbidaring]

[ D has explicitly forbidden me from making eye contact with any of you for ]

[ a pause ]

[ at least fifteen more minutes by my count ]

[ but after that sure ]

[criminaljustice]

[ I'm not going anywhere ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Logically, yes. But telling that to the rest of my brain seems to be failing miserably. And it doesn't make it less awful. ]

[ "..." appears and disappears several times as he types out another message. ]

[ And I don't want to never see you again. ]

[ Is that awkward? It feels awkward. Why can't you unsend messages? ]

[awakenerd]

[Lifts a hand, awkward... Hello. Approaching but not too close.]

Hey.

[columbidaring]

[ Well. I'm not mad at you. For what that's worth. ]

[columbidaring]

[ jesus, even in person i can't tell if it's dokidoki or a fear response ]

[ waves back ]

Hey.

[columbidaring]

[ should I wear a maid uniform for it ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Thanks, that means a lot.
I'm not, either. ]

[columbidaring]

[ Honestly you would be justified in being mad

the first time wasn't ghosts it was just me ]

[criminaljustice]

[ come as you are. it's fine. ]

[awakenerd]

[Probably both.]

What're you up to?

[columbidaring]

[ all right ]

[ Takes like ten solid minutes to curl up and just like breathe into his knees. OK. OK we're ALL OK NOW. THINGS ARE FINE. if boss was making coffee he's probably, in the kitchen?? let's... go there and see. ]
