[in the dead of night, a single line of text appears posted on the network:]

I thnk he lickedmy eye







[ ... no, seriously, that's it. that's the text. thank goodness we have this miraculous technology to communicate our important thoughts. notably, if anyone tries replying, it'll take him a good eight hours of game time to finally respond.]

[what the frickety frickle]

Am I going to regret asking who. I probably am.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[several hours later, he checks his communicator to find... this mess...]

You definitely are. Just like I regret having thumbs. You are not my message box.

[bb_wolf]

go the fuck to sleep, robin. you probably dreamed it.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[judging from how he answers much later, maybe he did go to sleep...]

Did I?? That's the conundrum, isn't it? So glad the mystery could be shared with the entire fleet instead of my message box.

[flickerflash]

lick him back!!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[some hours later, he comes back, sees all this, and... well, at least this one is kind of constructive.]

I am not licking someone's eye, that's weird.

I might lick his face, though. He'd scream.

Thanks for the update.

[some hours later...]

You're welcome, I'm glad I could contribute. I'm so happy to be filling a questionably licked quota. It's just making my morning. So thrilled.

[theshabbiestofmen]

How is that something you're not entirely certain of?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[you know, he'll just reply with voice many hours later. sounding a little groggy and flustered, to boot.]

Look, I was asleep at the time. I woke up just enough to try and text myself the note.

[beardstrokes]

congratulations, you are the proud owner of a licked eyeball.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[many hours later...]

Thank you, I am honored for the privilege. About as much as I'm honored to see that my note to myself did not actually get sent to myself.

[pompous_today]

... Robin, are you drunk?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[eight hours later...]

Oh, hey Simon. I wish that was the case. Message misfire. Isn't this how people get pink eye and shit?

[reconstitution]

...Why would someone lick your eye?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[many hours later...]

That's what I was trying to figure out. It sounds fucking weird, right?

[child_of_bhaal]

Who did?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh, hello Red-Tail.

[he'll go ahead and reply to Sye with voice. kind of confused, sleepy voice...]

Friend of mine. But not a good one--I think he was fucking with me.

Are you sleep-texting now? That seems like a worrying habit to develop. It will make for some very confusing mornings, don't you think?

text;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[I hope they are still in the same room. or at least the same ship.]

If someone hadn't licked my eye, there wouldn't have been any source of confusion in the first place.

[survives]

GROSS.

Why???

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[many hours later...]

That's what I was trying to figure out! I was asleep, I did nothing to deserve this.

[dawnwillcome]

I didn't know humans were usually so open about the strange things they do in bed.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[oh good, this is exactly what he wanted to see first thing this morning. /sarcasm]

Jove, if I was here to announce my interests in bed, I would have used complete sentences.

And it was Tek, by the way.

[onlyanapple]

Thanks for the fascinating glimpse into your love life. I feel enriched now.

Really.

Text;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

It was Tek.

[suffer with him.]

Oh, hi Suzie.

Should I catch you up, or are you good reading?

Congratulations on discovering a new fetish.
