[Dragging to ballpit steps!!!]

I got recruited to work at some dumb coffee shop for what I think was a movie, it was kind of vague. I didn't get paid for it at all, and didn't even know how much time had went by til I got back! It's probably what happened to Y and the others, too.

[Letting himself be dragged to shore like the weirdest episode of passive aggressive Baywatch]

It sounds like you had a terrible time....good.

[darkroastbean]

It wouldn't have been so bad if demon customer service didn't suck so much. Anyway, sorry for worrying you guys. You didn't have to blow up my phone though, I thought you guys were going through some shit.

[Stands up finally and wades through the balls the rest of the way, climbing out of the pit]

I didn't have to...but I also didn't intend to worry you. I thought it might be annoying.

[darkroastbean]

Oh, now you can walk! And rest assured, it was very annoying. I couldn't get any messages from anyone else because of you.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Don't go away again and you won't have that problem, there. A solution.

[darkroastbean]

Wow, that never occurred to me. Thanks for opening my eyes. [climbing out the pit too]

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

It's okay, we can't all be as wise as me.

[Holds out a hand to help him]

[darkroastbean]

[???? helping hand ???? takes it]

You're a wise something, that's for sure.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I can accept that.

[darkroastbean]

Wow, that's the first time you've said something so straight forward!

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[Releases his hand, letting P fall back into the pit]

Whoops.

[darkroastbean]

[scREAMS]



IIIIIIIIII--!!

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Youuuuuuuu.

[Whistles and heads for the kitchen]

[darkroastbean]

[top ten betrayals

gonna lay in the balls for a bit before he gets up to make sure I isn't putting new shit into the coffee maker]

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[No weird shit, just digging through the fridge]

[darkroastbean]

[. . .? genuine surprise at that, but also relief]

I half expected you would have broken the coffee maker while I was gone. What are you looking for?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

How cold! I'm not that petty. Afterall...the rest of the part uses that coffeepot too.

[More shifting of stuff in the fridge]

[darkroastbean]

[leaning, trying to see]

Wow, so considerate. But you didn't answer the question. . .

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I am as considerate as I am kind.

[INCREASED IRRITATED FRIDGE DIGGING]

It's gone...

[darkroastbean]

What's gone? Now that I think about it, I've rarely even seen you eat. What were you keeping in there?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Something for later… there’s no choice. I’ll just have to get more.

What do you eat then? They did feed you, I’m assuming. While you were gone.

[darkroastbean]

You could just tell me what it is. . .!

I mostly survived off teas and biscottis. But I at least got more coffee ideas.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Weren't they concerned about you wasting away? Make me a coffee then, if you got so many ideas.

[darkroastbean]

It was barely a week, was I missed that much? [. . .moving to start brewing a pot though, weep]
