You can't skimp out on your protein, then
They'll notice

Eggs, tofu, nuts
Shakes are a lot easier

[oversea]

Okay mom.

[transmit]

I wouldn't be your mom if you didn't give me reason to be.

[oversea]

Elysium
Are you free right now?

[transmit]

I just said I was on my way to the office
What's up?

[oversea]

[ he has no idea how much time he has but he just calls him ]

[transmit]

[ he is in a swanky car with a driver and has maybe five minutes ]

Hello?

[oversea]

Don't agree about being my mom so easily.

[ HELLO ]

[transmit]

You're the one who said it…


I think I'm more your mom than your mom is. It's like she's completely given up on your lifestyle.

[ thinks about her grievances at the wedding ]

[oversea]

[ he has to think about it... ]

... Well, she's busy, so this is probably better anyway.

[transmit]

Work hard on leaving the nest or you'll make this really awkward for us.

[oversea]

I've left the nest...

[ he lives by himself......

he almost says that out loud and catches himself. it's odd, since they were roommates for so long. ]

[transmit]

We have very different definitions of 'left'. I need you taking care of yourself like a normal person.

[oversea]

[ hmm... ]

Define normal person.

[transmit]

[ he is aware the average college diet is not healthy but he does not want to say that ]

The daily recommended intake of calories and nutrition for your weight group.

[ which is insanely hard for anyone and this is probably more abnormal than not, but you know… sometimes it's good to have high standards… ]

[oversea]

How do you even know that?

[ elysium why do you have time for this. ]

[transmit]

[




rattles the exact values of everything because he has no life. ]

Did you write that all down?

[ he sounds serious but he's joking. maybe.


he's going to text it to thorns later. ]

[oversea]

You're just going to send it to me.

[ he knows him... ]

I'll be good.

[transmit]

[ thorns knows elysium knows thorns well enough that he wouldn't write it down… so the cookie crumbles… ]

You better be. [ … ] But I gotta go now. Take care?

[oversea]

You too, b-- uh. Bye.

[ thorns was about to experiment with a pet name and

realized he was not strong enough for it. ]

[transmit]

[ buh bye…… that's new.


too bad he does not have the time to think about this as the moment he leaves the car it's game time.

lunch's picture arrives, and it will be a green smoothie of some kind… disgusting. ]

[oversea]

[ whoops


well. this is easy since thorns is not home, so he takes a picture of a menu at a taco place. ]

?

[transmit]

[ REAL FOOD… WOAH ]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[oversea]

[ real food because he is with classmates..... close to end of semester celebration...

he also wanted elysium to pick for him so he stares at the lack of menu choice in the response. ]

👍

[transmit]

[ he thought he just wanted validation…

he waits another few minutes. ]

Where's the follow-up?
