after a call that didn't go through—

[carmesi]

why does your voicemail sound so dramatic?
my phone has sticky buttons

[brandingproblem]

Everyone knows to leave a message after the tone. Except you since you didn't.
Clean your phone.

[carmesi]

i was intimidated by it and i do * not * know how it ends

oh , you meant the leave a message after the tone part. that's how it ends.
my phone is clean. it just puts spaces at random , like that , see?

[brandingproblem]

Generally how these missed call messages end. But now that I know it's intimidating
I'm definitely not changing it ever.

Sounds like your phone wants you to give it some space.

[There is no escaping the dad jokes.]

[carmesi]

( ugh not the dad jokes )

as long as you find it funny , i guess.
are you going to that resort place?

[brandingproblem]

Figure I might as well check it out and see what there is.
God I hope this one doesn't try to kill me.

[carmesi]

do i get to keep your car if it does kill you?

( trying to keep this light(tm) )

post-event 1, after a dome fight

[carmesi]

did you leave after your fight ?

[brandingproblem]

Didn't need to stick around.

[carmesi]

it looked painful.

( the hits the other guy got on him. )

[brandingproblem]

Not like pain isn't an old friend. A handful of aspirin will help.

[carmesi]

do you need anything ?

[brandingproblem]

[Instead of answering the question, he's going to let the implication of her knowing that what he got looks painful actually sink the hell in.]

Wait were you at the dome watching fights?

[terrorisms]

Don't go to the fringes.
Or don't go alone.

[brandingproblem]

I swear to god if it's more manequins

[terrorisms]

Worse.
It's people soup.
Like two diffusion zones are trying to form on top of each other. People are melded half into buildings. Ground's soft. Buildings are soft. You spend any time there, you start melting into shit too.

[brandingproblem]

Everything's quicksand? We have a fucking quicksand dimension now?
Where are you

[terrorisms]

Guess

[brandingproblem]

ARE YOU AT SOUP?

Where are you relative to literally anything besides just fringes?
Compass direction, distance from city
If you're texting me from soup I applaud your ability to spell under the circumstances.

[terrorisms]

Ran into a pal of yours on the fringes.
Gotta say, the boy scout's even more handsome in person. Felt like staring into the sun.

[brandingproblem]

I don't think I'd generally describe Scott as sunshine but whatever floats your boat.

[terrorisms]

Who the hell is Scott?

( Takes him a minute to remember the guy with the glasses from that pool resort diffusion zone months ago, but when it hits him-- )

No, jackass, not that guy.
Rogers.

[brandingproblem]

Oh shit yeah he has that effect on people. Did he have his depression beard or was he babyfaced shaved?
What did he think of you?
Do you have his number do you know what he's doing

[terrorisms]

I didn't know that guy could grow a beard.
Believe it or not, he knew who I was. Said he understood. Shook my hand, gave me his number.
He wants in on the raider problem.
Might just be so he can minimize the murder, but I'm not gonna pretend like it wouldn't be helpful to have Captain God Damn America helping out.

It's 987-6543.
I'm not kidding. I texted it. It's real.

[brandingproblem]

Why wouldn't it be real
Why the hell would he want in on this anyway? Shit. I'll talk to him.
