Have you tried talking to Dr. Kal'tsit? She's always looking for help but doesn't keep an open listing. Supposedly, it filters out the more annoying applicants.

Whatever she'd offer you would be in the realm of what you're actually interested in, yeah?

[oversea]

[ thorns is still wondering how the hell elysium got close enough to her that he knew to go to her for help. ]

Thanks
I'll look into it.
Even if she doesn't she might know people who do, I guess

[transmit]

[ please stop questioning things you don't actually want to know the answer to

he takes an extra few seconds to get back to him because he's shooting kal'tsit a message on the side… ]

No problem
But I should probably get back to work

Send me more pictures when you have the chance!!
I can make myself a new collage soon

[oversea]

Good luck

[ HE JUST

DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PICTURE THING ]

[ world cold… boyfriend colder…

It was winter after all.

Elysium

It's below zero.

[ elysium receives a picture of thorns' hand. his nails are painted. ]

[transmit]

[ thorns receives a picture of a dimly-lit room back. the only light source is the screen of a laptop. ]

[ this feels like the kind of thing you send to someone when you're about to murder them.

a few minutes later he sends a second picture. it's of a set... there's a water tank. ]

[transmit]

[ he is a gremlin in his gremlin cave.

he zooms in to try and make more sense of this. ]

?

[ his next update is in ten minutes

there is now a picture of what appears to be a large mermaid tail ]

[transmit]

Halloween was two months ago.

Are they trying to make you cosplay as that one guy from the one game?

[oversea]

I thought you told me you weren't playing that...

The ads for it are everywhere. You're the only one ignoring giant billboards at a mall and video ads every ten seconds wherever you go.

[oversea]

I have stuff I have to do when I'm out.

[ but elysium can finally get a selfie... it's still not a good one.

the makeup and accessories are definitely trying to get the mermaid vibe across, with decorative shells in his hair and as jewelry. ]

[transmit]

[ i hope this means if this leads into office au raf is the one they modeled lads raf out of ]

You not paying attention to your surroundings is how you keep getting into accidents.

[ ? this is more skin than he's gotten to see personally? ]

[oversea]

?
H?

[transmit]

[ HO!!!!!!!!


he does not type this. ]

My hand slipped.
Aren't you cold?

You can't let them treat you like this. It's winter

Winter 🌨️☃️❄️

[oversea]

They said that people wouldn't be expecting this type of shoot during winter
So it was the perfect time to do it.

[transmit]

You can't get sick.

[oversea]

I won't get sick
I am so healthy

Last time was because you cursed me.

[transmit]

What do you mean, cursed you? You were the one who was getting so close to a sick person and overexerting yourself…
You weren't even wearing proper PPE

I should tell Dr. Kal'tsit to put you through lab safety

[oversea]

As if you would have worn any if the roles were reversed.

Don't tell her anything.

[transmit]

Don't you have a shoot to do

[ he's talking to her right now ]
