[ STOP BEING HACHIKO!!!!!!

…

he plops a candy the farm lady had given him into thorns' hand. like this will help him behave, extra. ]

It shouldn't take any more than five to iron my side out out. Add on a few extra minutes when I bring up you.

[oversea]

It's fine, I can handle you being gone for a few minutes.

[ he has made absolutely zero indication that this is actually true, but he will say it to make elysium not feel bad about having to go. ]

[transmit]

[ ruffles his hair… painfully…

he drags his feet as he goes. goodbye. ]

[oversea]

[ goodbye....


thorns will pretend to be normal as he waits. ]

[transmit]

[ he busts through the doors earlier in this thread because they are both normal individuals and the person he was talking to totally did not pick up on his off-putting energy or anything






he just dramatically collapses onto thorns. ]

[oversea]

[ hi....

thorns pats his back. ]

[transmit]

Let's go home…

[ talking to other people is exhausting. ]

[oversea]

[ home. the fuckin hotel room they only got to be in for two seconds. ]

What did they say...

[transmit]

You're not in the budget.

[ he's going to kill someone ]

[oversea]

Oh.

[ this should not be surprising at all considering they only offered elysium a job in the first place, but maybe they're just homophobic? is that it? ]

... I'll find a job.

[transmit]

[ they probably don't even know what thorns is capable of besides being a lap boyfriend, unfortunately

but yeah elysium's putting his money on them being homophobic ]

Don't take any sketchy jobs. It's as dangerous outside the town as it is inside.

[oversea]

I won't.

[ well

even if he did, he's sure he'd be able to handle it, but he is aware elysium would spiral if thorns said that. ]

[transmit]

You heard what they said about the kidnappings, right?

[ don't give him trust issues towards his own fiancé… ]

[oversea]

Don't worry. I'll be safe.

[ he kisses his cheek. ]

I may not be an Operator anymore, but I am still fully trained.

[transmit]

Your transceiver beeps. What do you do?

[oversea]

An... swer...

[transmit]

How?

[oversea]

Stop quizzing me. I can do it.

[ he pinches him!!! ]

[transmit]

We're going through a drill right now. It's been a while since either of us have gone through training.

[ He is pinched but he remains steadfast. ]

Answer.

[oversea]

[ OKAY DIE. ]

I press the button...

[transmit]

And then…?

[ WHY DOES HE HAVE TO KEEP LEADING THIS CONVERSATION. HE'LL KILL YOU. ]

[oversea]

... I speak?

[ shaking. ]

[transmit]

[ YES… YES!!!!!!! THERE IS HOPE!!! (no) ]

What kind of words?

[oversea]

[ this is so pathetic. ]
