9/3, very very very very early in the morning for USA

[gluttoning]

[After a few minutes from the last forum post, Tylor will get a text from a 510 american area code number:]

im sorry you have to be so far away right now tylor

i wish there was something else we could do

no cw bc he means jumping off a game building i swear

[tylorific]

[ His own phone number is Japanese, +81 near Tokyo. There's a short delay before he responds. ]

Can't be helped! we'll think of something, or they'll fix it.

I'm going to look up one of these times and he'll be awake.

[ A short delay ]

did you know we jumped off a skyscraper once?

lmao thank you for clarifying bc I would be like "yeah that sure is mithrun" regardless

[gluttoning]

that doesnt surprise me

he did a lot just to see if he could

i had to pull him out of a body of water when we first met because he was just sitting there drowning

sdfgsdfg

[tylorific]

wwwwlol that sounds like him too.

did you know your lungs actually fill with water in game? you can even hear it if you put your ear to someone's chest.

there's a lot of things, soomany things we wouldn't know if fate hadn't brought us all together.its

[gluttoning]

yeah

i had to stay with him a while to make sure he wasn't going to pass out

i think game is too realistic sometimes



tylor are you okay

[tylorific]

took him to a meadow once, i wasn't sure he'd wake up.




yeah im fine, why do you ask? maybe im a little tires


tired

[gluttoning]

im here if you need company

okay?

[He can't tell him. Not like this.]

[tylorific]

but we're talking already, aren't we? that's company. were friends.

but im fine, really.

So what did you do today?

[gluttoning]

i know. I thought it was important you know too

i had a football game. my team won.

[tylorific]

oh. is it?
if that's the case, then im also here. if you need companyt.

i like talking to you. and its not just becaus,not everyone can see how beautiful he is.


thats good news! congratulations ＼_(^◇^)_／＼(*^^*)／

[gluttoning]

thanks.

you do call him and hani beautiful a lot. i just dont really know anything about you.

all youve ever really told me is your name.

[tylorific]

wwhaha. because they are. dont you think so?


but yeah, i guess you're right. if you want to know anything, you could just ask

[gluttoning]

i don't know. but i dont think i see them the same way you do. i dont think i can love people like that.

i don't really know what to ask. you don't really seem to think you're anything special, if I remember right.

i want to know why you think that

[tylorific]

everyone is different, no one has to love anyone else in any certain way.

because im just like everyone else.


[ There's a longer pause this time. And maybe it's obvious that there was a point in time where that's all he would've said. ]

isn't it better, ,to have expectations you can actually meet?

[gluttoning]

expectations?

from who?

[tylorific]

anyone. yourself.
i dont exepct myself to be anyone but me.



so i dont think my life is more important than anyone elsess.

[gluttoning]

why does that matter

9/15

[gluttoning]

get morgan off his headset

tylor get morgan off his headset now

SOS

[tylorific]

okay. You got it!

[ minutes later, while already on the way, he follows it up with-- ]

is he okay?

[gluttoning]

no

[He cannot express his urgency any more succinctly without breaking his attention.]

[tylorific]

[ Well, that's all Tylor needs to see because there is no follow up text.

At least, not until they make it to Morgan. ]

[gluttoning]

[godspeed, u irresponsible captain]

/2

[gluttoning]

[He finally replies again about five minutes or so after Morgan's been removed from the headset.]

He's disconnected.

Please tell me that was you.

[tylorific]

y. dw

[ That's all he receives for the moment. Given time, Tylor will follow up with another message eventually. For now, though, this is the only confirmation. ]

[gluttoning]

TY.

[He'll leave them to it without further interruption. He's got to go decompress on his own for a while.]
