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.

That didn't even answer ONE of my many questions, Rhys :||||||
What the frick happened? I remember the pillow fight and then POOF
Nothing!
Junpei says he saw me after that but died before I did so??
Throw me a fricking bone here :||||

[headjacked]

Sorry, that was a lot to take in at once. I thought hi was a good place to start



Shit happened

[phaseshifter]

That! Doesn't answer me either!!!
Rhys if I have to make this a video call and do the face at you I effing will
I can feel my lip wobbling already my dude
What shit, specifically, happened??

[headjacked]

Oh please no I look like steamed crap

[ Groans, collects his thoughts. Breeeeathe. ]

I don't know what happened to you exactly I just know you left. We were in the bunker for too long and you weren't okay. I mean I wasn't okay either but you were even LESS okay

I have a few guesses though

[phaseshifter]

Oh, heck, really? Not okay like the when-we-were-in-the-basement kind of not okay?
Well
More the fake version of what happened there with the extra crazypantsness I guess?

[ That. Makes sense. Frick. Frickety frickers. And if it was getting at Rhys too, then he probably wouldn't notice her leaving and he's probably been guilting over it and aaAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ]

Sorry.
Uh, for dying. And I'm aware that's ridiculous but don't really care.
Are Beckett and Enoch okay? Are you out of the bunker now or just taking a break??
I'm not too far away I can be back soon

[ even if going back there makes her kind of want to just bury herself in the snow and die again ]

[headjacked]

Well you should be you giant tragedy magnet

Or actually really I'm sorry. I should've known better after the first time
But hey! I didn't break any ribs. Silver lining. Just left the bunker for awhile to rest.

[ hahahhUhhhhn ]

B&E are
Probably less than fine
You sent them messages too right?

[phaseshifter]

If you should have known better I should have known better!! I never felt it coming on
I think? Maybe it was apparent the day after the pillow fight??
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggghhhhh this is the worst

And I'm in the middle of sending out grovelling apologies yes
Are they still in the bunker, though? Since they're not with you? Is that really wise??
I'm going to have to fuss aren't I this is awful ;C

[headjacked]

No nonononono fussing, come on. I can tease you for apologizing for dying but don't take it too far please.

They stayed, I left with John. You know

Answers and stuff

I'm not so far so it's okay. I'm okay. I promise

[phaseshifter]

[ There's a short delay. Still longer than it should be, though.

And then -- ]

We had a FIGHT??

[ B U S T E D ]

[headjacked]

What um

[ fckk ]

No??? I wouldn't have called that a fight more like a minor tussle at worst. You were just mildly ornery

Whoever called it a fight is being overdramatic

[phaseshifter]

John told me and he's about as dramatic as a thick knitted cardigan.

In beige.

[ Tell her she's wrong, I dare you ]

[headjacked]

Okay that is one hundred percent true

But only that and he's more egg white than beige but hey getting off topic

He made some assumptions that were completely wrong

[phaseshifter]

Assumptions like...?
(I'm doing the other face)
(The one that I copied off Beckett)
(You can also imagine that I have the accent if you like as long as I get effing answers)

[headjacked]

Assumptions like

How if a guy has several inches of glass in his kidneys he was definitely stabbed by a two foot tall gremlin girl

No other possible way to interpret that nope none at all

[phaseshifter]

oh fuck

 

 

How the heck did that happen if
That

are you okay?

[ BECAUSE HEY THAT DOESN'T SOUND OKAY EVEN A LITTLE ]

[headjacked]

I fell

[ Yes... ]

with all my body weight. That drove it crazy deep into said kidneys or maybe my spleen. Nothing super important I guess since John was able to patch me up. I’m okay. It wasn’t as bad as it sounds or felt.

[ Baby lies! ]

[phaseshifter]

Dude I have seen people get stabbed in a LOT of places and it's basically always a huge deal
It was *my* glass, right? The one that isn't in my bag any more??
How the eff did you fall on it

[ because it must have been out of the bag

right

so ]

[headjacked]

I remember you were trying to get away
I grabbed your bag to stop you? God dumb of me. Must have maybe jostled it out when I pulled it off your shoulder.

That or your left it out but you’re not careless. So it was my stupid clumsy fever faced fault.

[phaseshifter]

[ Okay that. Sounds sort of solid? She can't really imagine how he got the glass to fall out, but. It's Rhys. His clumsiness doesn't obey the rules of mere mortals.

Mmmmmmhhhhh. ]

So does John think I stabbed you? It must have gone in pretty far if he does
How bad IS it
Really
Can you travel?

[headjacked]

Movement isn’t super great but I think I could manage if I needed to.

He had a needle and thread. My organs aren’t gonna fall out if I stand

[phaseshifter]

Oh, so you can make it here? Sweet.
I have to wait here for Quark to wake up, so if you want to head out this way we'll be together again in a couple of days or so! I'm at the creepy cult funeral home. :)

[ JOHN HAS BEEN TATTLING AGAIN REES ]

[headjacked]

Are you testing me

[phaseshifter]

Kinda. John's tattling on you. Stretchers were mentioned. :|||
I really do have to stick around for Quark, though :P As long as you'll be alright without me!!
