[cacophonish]

[inlieuofadad]

[A lengthy delay in response, then:]

God damn it.

[abrightboy]

Do you want to just bring your phone over and tell me what you're trying to do?

[inlieuofadad]

I am alive and unharmed, I promise.

[cacophonish]

un: cupkate

[bossyboiler]

Are you trying to unsubscribe from something?

un: mercyme; text

[graveyounglady]

If you wish to turn off the device, there is a button on it. You need only press it and hold.

un: Aberration

[aelwyn_aberration]

Having a stroke?

[inlieuofadad]

[ You can't see it Kugrash but Gil is scowling at his phone in reading glasses while moving it closer and then further away to try and get the fucking thing in focus.

He needs to get actual reading glasses and not the cheap drugstore ones.]

I am suspicious of you for plenty of reasons that have nothing to do with you being a rat.

[inlieuofadad]

[ RIP his dignity. ]

This one you have to hold two different buttons for it to turn off.

Turns on with one though.

[inlieuofadad]

[ His life. ]

Someone signed me up for text alerts from a dating app.

[Does he realize this means someone signed him up on a dating app? Questionable.]

[inlieuofadad]

You know it because I still cannot for the life of me get that pizza stain off my track pants.

[inlieuofadad]

Ive got this.

[abrightboy]

Do you tho?

[inlieuofadad]

Its though.

[abrightboy]

You have to reply in the message thread for the subscription service you want to stop. If you want to stop a subscription service.

[Not that he would know that you have one.]

But consider whether you do, tho.

[inlieuofadad]

[ A pause that's long enough to indicate that he is not poking out a message, he is in fact putting some pieces together. ]

What did you do?

[cacophonish]

ok that checks out
what happened?

[inlieuofadad]

About a week ago I started getting persistent text messages from OkEros notifying me about messages

and "winks."

[abrightboy]

Just helping out, like I usually do.

[cacophonish]

huh?
is that like a phone sex hotline? only with texts?? a phone sex text line?

[bossyboiler]

That was rude of whoever did that. Do you have a suspect in mind?

[inlieuofadad]

It certainly feels that way.

[aelwyn_aberration]

Well, quick, we need a song choice for your funeral.

1/2

[ratjesus]

hey fuck you

2/2

[ratjesus]

you're right though i do suck

whatever

i just think you could be a little nicer, jesus, you're supposed to be like kind and caring and shit

[graveyounglady]

Do you require assistance in this task? I understand some people may have lost limbs or fingers recently due to the mold.

[inlieuofadad]

What kind of helping out?

[inlieuofadad]

From what I can tell, it is a dating app. Which I do not need.

[inlieuofadad]

[ Ironically enough, Kugrash saying he sucks stirs up a little bit of a contrarian mood in Gil. He doesn't like it when people belittle themselves.

--but wait, hang on.]

Who said that?

[inlieuofadad]

I get the feeling he was trying to help me feel

more at home.

[inlieuofadad]

[ Oh no that's very sweet. It makes Gil smile, dissipating some of his crankiness. ]

Very nice of you to offer, but I have all the necessary digits.

[ Then, bc what is looking up someone's username: ]

Who do I have the pleasure of talking to?

[bossyboiler]

So you know who it was?

[cacophonish]

are you sure?

[ Maybe you could use a dating app, sir. ]

[inlieuofadad]

"I want to break free."

[abrightboy]

The helpful kind. You seemed lonely.

[aelwyn_aberration]

Poetic. They'll be wondering if it's a secret riddle for weeks. I'll see to it.

[graveyounglady]

Apologies for my manners, sir. I have become too accustomed to the ways of this world. My name is Mercy Graves, Sister of the Spring Tide. May the spring bring life to you and yours.

Is there some other way I can help you? You seem to be most vexed.
