Who: Zhas
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Red Fish if applicable
When: Now!

[things are maybe starting to get a little weird around the fleet... and this sudden message broadcast over the network is no exception.]

something is going on with the augments. crackling noise? potential malfunction not sure what's being effected right now but it's really annoying unknown if harmful but causing problems with behaviora

[the text just stops there. the video turns on!]

Ugh.

[there's a really scary-looking guy in a full face of skull makeup looking down at the controls--oh, wait, no. he's gone. the video turns off. the voice clicks on.]

...Ugh.

[the voice clicks off. the text resumes.]

compulsions may be becoming a problem. pretend that didn't happen. or not. i don't know.

Truce.

[she is not a vampire. he has no reason to stay mad at her.]

[ She smiles. She's happy. ]

'Still not sure about my invitation? I won't punch you unless you want me to.

[there's a soft exhale that might have been a laugh, had he more personality than a brick wall.]

Not sure. I'll let you know.

That's fair.

...Why weren't you wearing the skull that night? On that planet?

[a very soft sound of... confusion? he has to think back a little bit. seems like it was forever ago, and it wasn't particularly worth keeping in his memory now that his questions had been answered. --but oh, he eventually remembers.]

Halloween.

Halloween?

[ She's not heard of it before, surprisingly. ]

[...and this is where he thinks it's best to move back to text. maybe because he foresees a lot of words coming.]

do you know it?

I'm afraid not. I've heard of... Christmas? And Valentine's Day.

Halloween celebrates scary things. people dress up, kids go around collecting candy. there's lots of parties. that was my costume.

[...get it? he went out on Halloween dressed up as a normal person HE'S SO FUNNY.]

[ She actually laughs— but not because it's clever or funny in a good way. It's just funny. In an awful way. ]

It was almost very convincing. While you were fumbling around a light post drunkenly, sporting a bloodied nose.

[he says the words "oh yeah" out loud, but then remembers she can't hear that, so texts the words:]

oh yeah.

[ Zhas, honey, please. ]

I hear regular people do that too.

It was nice to see your real face for once. I'm sorry I was too preoccupied to appreciate the moment.

[ She almost says "maybe next Halloween", but then remembers that the hope is that none of them are still stuck here by then, so she refrains. ]

no.

[...which is kind of weird, being the only thing that he sends. after a second, another text appears.]

it was my birthday too.

[ "No" what, Zhas? She's sorry for herself! She could have teased him so much if she hadn't been distressed with Barakiel disappearing and upset about a different Makoto showing up and thinking she was someone other version of herself only to also disappear. She's real disappointed she missed out— ]

What?

[ It's said out of shock, not disbelief of course. She fought with a man on his birthday. She actually did that. Now she feels even sorrier, ack. ]

don't get weird i was just saying.

[which is all he has to say to that.]

I'm not "getting weird".

But you realize I'm never going to forget this now, right? If we're still here by next Halloween...

[ No power in the multiverse can save you from birthday hugs now, Zhas. None. ]

we'll go drinking. it'll be fun.

[ Aww... He likes her enough to let her spend his birthday with him... She's touched. ]

Just don't let me drink too much. I'm infamous for having a low tolerance. Hange saw. It was a disaster.

got it.

[he wouldn't mind. that's what birthdays are supposed to be about. he thinks it's funny that she's such a lightweight...]

[ She really is terrible. It was a trainwreck when she drank too much. Someone would end up having to carry her somewhere. At least she's a happy, mischievous drunk instead of a depressing one. ]

I'll have to drag you out for mine then.

never been to someone else's party before.

[which is maybe not something he'd normally admit.]

It's not until summer, so you have time to adjust to the idea.

okay

[sounds good to him...]

[ After a moment, her voice softens, her expression growing more serious now. ]

...How are things with Coil? Hange said matters have improved?

better. reached an understanding.
