werites | bursts into tears

[ …

he knows he's supposed to get to work. but. but.

instead, here he is: face buried in his pillow, rolling around in bed, kicking his feet like an idiot. it takes him a few more minutes to reply.

it's just a finger heart… you can tell how distracted i am by chat with how far apart these tags are. they are the only ones i've done. ]

[ elysium is so cute... sadly thorns does not see the extent of how cute he is.

but thorns sends him a thumbs up. he needs to learn to send cuter messages that don't resemble slack. ]

[ it's fine if thorns gets any cuter than he already is (?) elysium may explode

he will feel validated by this thumbs up… holds phone to his chest then nyooms out of his apartment. the sooner he gets everything done the sooner he can get back!! (they ignore how he was drunk out of his mind and has had two hours of sleep and is hungover, but for now, the high is real…) ]

[ thorns is deeply concerned about how elysium is going to survive the day, but there isn't much he can do about that from all the way here.

the way that he doesn't even know where he is so he can't just pop up there. ]

[ not even an hour later: ]

I feel like I really took the time we had together for granted…

It's like we could predict this would happen.

[ well

elysium obviously knew he would eventually have to do all this, but it does sound like the timeline for when this was supposed to happen got majorly moved forward due to the sudden circumstances... he doubts that the people whose lives will be impacted by the success of the company are too eager by someone who hasn't even graduated yet being pushed to the top. ]

[ he just sends another picture next.

he's in the back of a car, and in the palm of his hand is a keychain of badtz-maru… ]

It's you.

I need to show my face somewhere and then I'll probably be back

Okay.

What is that thing

Badtz-maru is one mischievous little penguin. He lives with his mother and pinball playing father in Gorgeoustown. Badtz-maru attracts lots of attention as he walks his pet alligator, Pochi. Badtz-maru has dreams of greatness when he grows up, but for now he rolls his eyes at his humourous life in Gorgeoustown.

Like I said
It's you

I see

Who are you supposed to be then?

I don't know

[ he only thinks as far as thorns … ]

[ HELLO

thorns doesn't even know this is sanrio ]

You need one.

Can you be trusted?

What
Yes

If you leave something like that behind

It'll be sad
And lonely
And then perish

And then you'll be haunted for generations

You can't be mean to it either…
