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.

[droprate]

Thanks for the update.

[theshabbiestofmen]

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

[beardstrokes]

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

[pompous_today]

... Robin, are you drunk?

[reconstitution]

...Why would someone lick your eye?

[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.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[many hours later...]

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

[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?

[child_of_bhaal]

Morning sleepy head.

[Is that a nickname she hears? She'll get back to that in a minute. First thing's first.]

Not good in terms of you don't know him well, or is he a bad friend?

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?

[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.

[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.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

No, no, just kind of an awful person in general. Did I mention I was sleeping at the time? I tried to send this note to myself in the ten seconds I was conscious.

[child_of_bhaal]

[She presses her lips together hard to stave off the laughter that tries to bubble up. Humor still shows in her voice when she speaks again though.]

There's just so many questions that brings up. You know that, right?
