headjackedHeyyyyyyyy, 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.

When... ]
Don’ go.
[ it’s too hard to make that out clearly with the way he’s crying into his knees. ]

Date: 2017-10-28 11:11 pm (UTC)She's far too busy picking at the tatters of her sweater to initiate, though. Fortunately, she can still use her words. Woo. ]
I do love you, you know.

I really did think it was for the best.

Next time you have a life-altering decision to make, discuss it with Beckett. Or Alfie. Or just hide the evidence in your shorts, nobody would accidentally find it there.
[ HA. On the subject of the evidence, though... ]
Is it... is he broken?

Date: 2017-10-28 11:36 pm (UTC)[ Tentitively, Rhys reaches down and unwinds the cable from his ankle. An angry red rash is left behind in its place.
The light is still on. Still flickers. Rhys’ hand still shakes, but that’s just the norm these days. ]
There’d only be one way to tell...

Date: 2017-10-28 11:42 pm (UTC)[ There's mild fondness there, and - shockingly - it's a little infuriating. Fucking Jack. Stupid asshole father. UGH. ]
Iunno who he'd laugh harder at.

It wouldn’t be all bad, huh?
no subject
Date: 2017-10-29 12:01 am (UTC)[ Probably. Maybe.
It's kind of a struggle to imagine how Jack could make anything worse these days, honestly. ]
It's your choice. I suppose you could just yank him back out if necessary.

Date: 2017-10-29 12:10 am (UTC)[ His stomach is churning again. A warning, maybe? His body knows something his brain refuses to understand, apparently.
Rhys refastens the eye anklet. Or. Tries to. Shakes shake. ]
I’ll think about it.

Should I? Just... let it hang out?

There aren't even very many of us left who know what it is.

The glitter glue may have dried up by now, though.
