Heyyyyyyyy, kiddo, you've reached me. Me who is Rhys. Anyway, not sure why you're trying to get in contact with the king of the dweebs, but I'm sure you've got your reasons. Reasons you should probably re-examine. I'm just sayin'.

Last chance to back out.

No?

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

Uh. Skirt Lady?

[ . . . ]

If you're talking about the -- the thing -- yeah, I'm. Fine.

[ If the new definition of 'fine' is 'sounds like he's going through puberty again', then yes, he is TURBO fine. ]

[powersouls]

[Skirt lady, totally. And she's not really into pushing someone she barely knows, but he definitely does not sound okay. She hesitates, and her voice is a bit softer when she responds, as though she's trying not to upset him further.]

Are you sure?

[headjacked]

You talked to Angel, right? We couldn't feel anything.

I'm not a big baby, you know.

[ It's a good thing there's no video, because his face is all scrunched up. Like a big baby. Big noodly baby. ]

[powersouls]

I never called you a baby!

[Man, he is defensive.]

You wouldn't be a baby if you were upset, anyway.

[headjacked]

You were thinking it!

[ GRUMBLE!! ]

There's nothing to be upset about. Except the fact that we went through all that and got nothing, but, y'know, that's a separate issue!

[powersouls]

I was not thinking it.

[All right, give her a second to check herself. Tifa would be upset if she'd just gone through that, too. She sighs.]

I'm sorry. It was brave of you to try.

[headjacked]

Honestly, wasn't really going for brave. Just -- Angel did it, so. What kind of man would I be if I let her do something like that on her own?

...s-sooooo maybe a little brave. Thanks.

[powersouls]

[She laughs quietly in response.]

Whose idea was it, anyway? I would have never thought of using the door.

[headjacked]

Oh, that was all Angel. Hell, I didn't even know she was gonna do that until... it was happening.

Then there were chips everywhere, we were grabbing them, she goes ahead and swallows one, and -- and I'm in it deep already, so. Bottom's up.

[powersouls]

So... You two didn't talk about it at all? Really?

[That sounds like a terrible idea?]
