[ a picture is sent. it is some guy making a smoochie face at the camera with thorns in the background with this expression, reaching out like he's trying to grab his phone back. half the face of another guy is at the corner of the frame, so that one is probably on the other side of the table they're at. ]

[transmit]

Oh. I was wondering why you were out. You got dragged.
Your soldiers in the war?

[ the one who helped him prevent mutiny…

they seem clownier than expected. ]

[oversea]

[ he gets a response after a minute, ]

Classmates, yes.
We were working on a project together.

[transmit]

Don't let me get in the way of your fun or your work
We can talk later

[oversea]

[ that is admittedly why they took his phone because they were annoyed he was just texting the whole time. ]

Okay.
Call me when you can.

[transmit]

[ thorns… if you had elysium as your homescreen they'd understand (no)

he is so tired. he is so very tired but he manages one text at around 10pm ]

Dinner
?

Yours

Oh
I forgot

Elysium
Your blender caught on fire.

[transmit]

It's still within warranty.
Can you take a picture of it for me?

[oversea]

[ it takes a few minutes, as thorns very clearly had to dig this out from where he shoved it after it caught fire but

there is a photo of a blender! it looks like it exploded. ]

[transmit]

[ IT ACTUALLY EXPLODED?

he was so tired but now he's awake i guess. he's ringing thorns up. ]

[oversea]

[ he picks up... ]

Why are you calling? It's late, go to bed.

[ he is saying this when he has picked up the phone past midnight for elysium. ]

[transmit]

[ they could've had a cute conversation before bed but instead they're here ]

How.

[oversea]

I overestimated its ability.

[ what does that mean. ]

I'm getting you a replacement...

[transmit]

[ how did thorns prepare mealkits if he makes blenders explode ]

Did you try using it to chop things up for your experiment?

[ ROCKS? ]

Don't. It was getting old; I can just get a new one. [ no and it was probably a vitamix ]

[oversea]

[ he 100% put something in it that should not go in blenders because he does not hesitate. ]

Are you sure...? [ ... ] Sorry.

[transmit]

It's not like you sabotaged it on purpose so you wouldn't have anything to make smoothies with, right?

[ RIGHT? ]

I'll get you one for Christmas. Just let me use it whenever I'm back.

[oversea]

... Thanks.

[ he is going to learn how much these things cost and he will die. ]

Go to bed.

[transmit]

[ thorns have you considered super high powered blenders that are capable of making you non-grainy smoothies may not be cheap ]

Promise me you'll get something to eat? Or that you'll have a bigger breakfast tomorrow.

[oversea]

[ he has not considered that at all, no. he thinks this might be like $50 at most. ]

I will. What did you have though?

[transmit]

[ unfortunately vitamixes are actually life-changing ]

The smoothie gave me enough of my daily intake for lunch and dinner.

That's why I recommended it to you. Isn't your problem that food's too annoying to eat most of the time?

[oversea]

[ HIS DAILY INTAKE? this is hell.

but ughhh... ]

Fine...

[transmit]

If you add cabbage, maybe it'll taste better to you…

[ this is such cope ]

[oversea]

Does it actually taste good to you?

[ be honest, elysium. ]
