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

[oversea]

Oh
I forgot

smoothie

[oversea]

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. ]

[transmit]

No.


It's a matter of survival.
