Skeletor, what up?

What's the biggest bone you could realistically generate? Might need it to pretend to be dead.

Theoretically, a skull would probably be the biggest but I am not doing anything that involves endangering my actual skull.

I might be able to get something tibia sized?

On that note: how good are you at jump scaring people?

Oh yeah no, let's not mess with your real skull. A tibia would be great. That's a clobbering bone.

I think I'm pretty scary, but it really depends. Are you more of a "LOUD THREAT OF VIOLENCE" person or a "turn around and oh shit it's a Kubrick stare" person? Because Kubrick stares are my forte.

It'd definitely be my bone of choice if I needed to attack someone with no other options.

Historically, I've been prone to jumping at either but I think if I know which to expect, it'll be less effective. I'll e-mail you my work schedule for the week so you know where to find me. We'll have to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible if we want to manage something tibia sized.

Right? What kind of damage can you do with a radius? Turn that shit into a bone flute.

Makes sense, and thanks. What's your preferred form of compensation?

Now that's an idea for the next time Merry takes a swipe at my arm and find myself with a new set of bones to find a use for.

Do you happen to have a supply of Marukawa bubble gum? It's the one thing I managed to forget stocking up on before I made the drive back up here.

Happy to be of service.

And no, sorry. [...] But I can drive you to the nearest Asian market if you want to stock up, I don't mind. Where's the nearest one, Albany?

Gonna be real, I've never made a trip to Albany in all the time I've been here. I would assume they have to have at least one Asian market.

When are your days off? I'll probably have to call out on one of my jobs for a shopping day but it's worth it for proper orange gum. We can split gas cost, but you do the driving and pay for my bubble gum.

Gas costs won't be a problem because...

I have a Prius.

But yeah otherwise these terms are acceptable. Does Thursday work for you?

Sure, I can take a day off from medical. ~~The vibes were weird in there anyway? What did you do to that one nurse-~~

Sounds like a plan. I guess I can get my groceries out of the way, too.

Meet in the lobby?

Please tell me you are not one of those people who likes to drive at inhumane hours* to beat traffic because I want to take full advantage of a day off and sleep in as much as I can.

*10 am at the earliest

Lmfao I am one of those people, but it's fine. I'll go for a run. I think if we hit the road by 11, traffic should be fine.

I'll meet you in the lobby at 10:30.

Sounds good! See you Thursday if I don't see you at work tomorrow... Or sooner in other places, who knows. 👹

wren!! thank you for the cookies, i've been coveting them while i hibernated. i'm ready to crawl out of my cave now, thank you (:

Oh hey you. I was wondering if you'd be alive for your own birthday, but I guess I should have expected you'd re-emerge for that.

The cookies weren't your present, btw. I haven't dropped that off yet.

oh. it is my birthday, huh? this year's been weird, i'm glad my subconscious sense of time isn't letting me miss that

the cookies would have been a great present, but i'm gonna be anticipating now! let's do something fun soon?

I mean, it's entirely possible I have the date wrong but I'm pretty sure it's your birthday. June 2nd, right?

Road trip next time I have a day off? We could go to one of the towns and grab something to eat and do some shopping.

you're right! it just snuck up on me

that sounds actually perfect. real food and real shopping sounds like the perfect escape. you met jack, right? he said that you took him out last time

Yeah, I met him at the welcome party I think? All I really remember is that he kept calling me Skeletor.

He wanted a favor and I got a free trip to Albany and free bubblegum in return. You know him?

Edited (important to note the free extremely cheap bubblegum) 2023-06-02 15:45 (UTC)

that sounds so much like him that i'm laughing now

mhmm, weird right? we went to school together, he and zee were my favorites. you have to promise not to tell either of them that, though

The Skeletor thing or the road tripping hours away with someone he barely knows for a pack of bubblegum thing?

I'll take your secret to the grave.

the skeletor thing, but the road tripping doesn't sound too far off either. we used to do roadtrips fairly often when we were in school

we gotta pinky promise on it

So road trips are normal for him and yet he drives a Prius?

Someone's saying some ominous shit about like an impending sewer rat apocalypse or something I don't know, so maybe we should hold off on in person things and dropping your gift off today but if you stop by the café this weekend I'll treat you to whatever pastry and drink you want for the lateness of your gift and we can do a pinky promise.

what's wrong with a prius!!!!! it's versatile and fuel efficient!

oh wtf?? yeahhh definitely raincheck for the weekend. mm, i better see if there's anything i should be doing

Oh, now you kind of sound like him? I should've realized you two were already pals.

I think it's actually ethically unsound if the station wants you to do things on your birthday. Even if there's weird omens of doom or whatever.

it's true, our friendship is based on correctness

we should write them a letter for next year: no doom emergencies on birthdays. but really though, that's the only way, it'd probably feel worse to sit around doing nothing when there's weird doom going on

Is it correctness or just a shared opinion on dorky cars?

I'll get started on a formal petition when there's nothing to do between shampoos next time I'm there. I'm sure they'll enact this by next June.

Just try to be careful if you end up in a weird doom situation, please?

definitely the first one

i promise i'll make sure both pinkies are in tact, so you can have your choice of which one to promise on. deal?

If you say so.

Deal. If you break this pre-pinky promise, I'm not sure what will happen but it definitely won't be good so let that be your warning.

yes mom, i promise i'll be as safe as possible
