hi. early morning. you pick the date.

[everblooms]

[ Maybe the number isn't too unfamiliar. After all, it'd be on that business card of her's. ]

rise and shine, wakey-wakey! i'm going to be picking you up!

mid august then

[eyediot]

[He's still dead asleep when he gets the text. He doesn't recognize the number, he'd never looked too closely at that card. But he sits up and squints down at it.]

Who...

[Wait no hold on, texting back.] I think you have a wrong number.

[everblooms]

[ Oh no! That's awful. (Aerith doesn't realize she forgot to give him her name.) ]

are you sure? i'm trying to contact a friend of mine named jonathan sims.

[eyediot]

[And now his paranoia is spiking horribly.]

You do have the right number. What did you want

[everblooms]

great! put on your work out gear, we're going to eye of the tiger.

[eyediot]

My what.

That's a song, and what are you talking about?

[everblooms]

nope! it's actually a gym. we're going to work out, get those muscles going!

[eyediot]

[What the fuck.]

I don't think that's entirely necessary.

[everblooms]

sooo it's *also* not entirely unnecessary, then...?

[eyediot]

I'm still failing to see or understand why.

[THAT SAID... He's just getting dressed whether he's consciously aware of what he's doing or not.]

[everblooms]

it's those noodle arms of yours that are the problem!

[eyediot]

You know I don't really have to put up with those sorts of insults.

[everblooms]

okay, okay, sorry! they're very worrisome, though.

[eyediot]

They've been JUST FINE before.

[everblooms]

and what if you need to pull girls out of haunted bath water again?

[eyediot]

[Only one person saw that and that must be who this is, OKAY NOW HE HAS A FACE with the texts. They make more sense.]

Then I suppose I should rely on your assistance again.

[everblooms]

we still need to build up your stamina, jon. it'll be good for you, i promise!

[eyediot]

I do believe I got a good stamina work out running and walking for my life before here.

[Also like. His heart is not in great condition. He might die again. He won't. But maybe.]

[everblooms]

just come hang out with me! c'mon!

[ There it is. ]

[eyediot]

Do you even know where I live?

text, un: gohan

[harimaya]

oi
how do you say meme

[eyediot]

[What the - oh it's that guy. Well he did promise.]

A hard 'e' sound. Like saying 'me' but with an 'm' sound at the end. The 'e' at the end is silent.

[harimaya]

meem.

Like scream.

(why was that the first word he picked to rhyme with meme)

[eyediot]

[Considering Jon's entire life, he doesn't think anything of it.]

Yes, you've got it exactly.

[harimaya]

I knew it.

One more question.

[eyediot]

Of course.

[harimaya]

What's a boomer.

[eyediot]

[Oh thank god Tim isn't here.]

Something people at my previous employment were convinced I was.

As a real answer, it was a very specific generation of people born in my world. The full term was originally 'baby boomer', but the most recent two generations have shorted it to 'boomer' as a catchall sort of insult when someone of an older generation is being particularly ornery about

anything

[harimaya]

(Hey, Siri-san, what's ornery........)

[harimaya]

I KNEW THEY WERE MAKING FUN OF ME.

[eyediot]

Very likely, yes. I'm sorry to be the bearer of this news.

1/2

[harimaya]

This whole city sucks.
Whatever.

[harimaya]

(AND SOME TIME LATER)



Thanks.

[eyediot]

You're welcome.

Did you want me to also send flowers for your funeral, or

[IT'S SO RARE SOMEONE ELSE GETS DUNKED ON AND NOT HIM. Is this how Tim feels? Is this how Tim and Sasha felt ALL THE TIME in research? Wild. Unreal. He is riding this wave.]

[harimaya]

Are you threatening me?!

[eyediot]

Not at all.

Just you seemed to have been insulted quite grievously, I thought it may have killed you in spirit.

[harimaya]

I'M NOT HURT

I'm not some weakass cotton ball spirit!

(HE IS A SWORD)

[eyediot]

[Okay well now he feels a little bad, this guy genuinely doesn't really get the joking so he'll stop.]

Of course, of course. My apologies. It was a joke.

[harimaya]

A shitty one. You better not be a comedian.

[eyediot]

For your and everyone else's sakes, no I'm not.

Just someone who's never been very good at jokes.

[harimaya]

(Jon, honey, you're perfect. Hizen is just a wet blanket.)

Good.

What are you really? Some sort of scholar?

(He's smart, ok.)

[eyediot]

Close enough, yes. A lot of reading and paperwork.

[harimaya]

Huh.
Well, I don't got any other questions so I'll let you read a dictionary or whatever.
