Jesus, dude. And you've just been - you've just been dealing?

All night?

...ah, I've been distracted. It's helped. I'm working on getting it sorted. I had talked to Intensity during the post game and I stopped at FiN... and Joker had told me about replacements and...

I'm just waiting to hear back from SensitIV.

[Quieter:]

...jesus. I'm so sorry. You want - there anything I can do?

You're already doing it, Hurricane. I didn't want to sit here like this, which is why I'd been messing with the phone in the first place, so talking to you is... it's just what I needed...

Okay... okay, cool.

You wanna talk for a while, then?

If you're not too busy...

I'd... I'd like that.

You got it, dude.

Whatcha wanna talk about?

I don't know. Anything. Maybe fun stuff we can do when things finally fucken chill...

Okay, how bout this: we get a speed boat and go out to the bay and figure out like water skiing.

I considered getting a jetski! It'd be cheaper and you might be able to water ski with it? Maybe...

Yeah? What's something like that run?

Not sure. I'm guessing it'd be the same as a bike whereas a boat would be the same as a car?

Probly, yeah.

...let's do it.

We could even tie a couple of big tubes to the back. I bet that'd be fun too. See who can stay in their seat. [ a laugh. ]

Man, yeah. Sign me up for that.

Lemme know what the jetski runs, yeah? I'll go halves with you.

I should be able to swing that...

[ she should look at her points before committing though. ]

I'm going to have to do a couple more lives to get some points soon. Like, as soon as I can see again. I put in a room upgrade and I'm not sure when it's going to go through, but... I wanted a workshop for my mech, so I need to save up for one of those too.

Oh - you running low? I got it covered then, no big.

I totally wanna see the workshop when you get it, though.

No! Don't do that. We don't need it this second anyway. I'll be able to bring in some points as soon as I'm fixed.

Of course! I'll give you the grand tour~

Kay, I'll wait till we need it, but I totally got it covered. Don't worry about it, kay?

You checked it out yet? What kinda stuff you got?

[ MAKES A NOISE. ]

Let me get the skiis then, or the tubes, or surfboards. Oh! whatever we get, let's get two, so then we can have, like, pool noodle death battles, except nobody actually dies. The jetski can tug us both around while we bap each other!

[Okay, yeah, he's laughing, though he's probably trying to keep jt down, because Nemesis is presumably sleeping somewhere nearby.]

Dude, yeah. I am so in. Water joust, here we come!

This is gonna be awesome. [ not that he can see it, but she's totally smiling. ] I should probably get going. Looks like Levi's finally texted me. Thanks, Hurricane, for... staying up and talking to me.

No problem, dude. Any time.

...if SensitIV can't make it over tonight or something, lemme know, okay? I'll be up anyway, so if you need someone to talk to, I'm your guy.

Will do, but hopefully I'll see you in the morning. [ she chuckles after that. ] Talk to you later, Hurricane~

Talk to you later, dude. Take care.
