No, I wasn't talking about us.
Just me.

[For all that Bro might've thrown himself at Summoner's mercy, he had faith in his own personal abilities. He was good at what he did, and what he did - here, in Ariel - was fuck, and fuck well.]

I
There isn't much.
Blurred visions.
Things here and there.
Is that normal?

[God, it was hard to ask. But who else could he turn to, really? Who else would know enough to be able to be honest with him?]

[likeabos]

,,,dEPENDS,,,
tHE S1TUAT1ON VAR1ES BETWEEN PERSON TO PERSON,,,
sOME ARE LEFT W1TH L1TTLE MEMORY OF WHAT HAPPEND, wH1LE OTHERS ARE LEFT REMEMBER1NG MORE THAN THEY PROBABLY SHOULD,,,
1T'S ALL ABOUT THE PROCESS THEY USED ON YOU DUR1NG YOU'RE T1ME 1N REEDUCAT1ON,,,

[He... Really didn't want to dwell to much on that. His own experiences being things which he would much rather forget.]

bUT, yEAH, yOU WERE PRETTY MESSED UP,,,
nOT THE WORST 1'VE SEEN, bUT YOU OBV1OUSLY D1DN'T HAVE MUCH SENSE ABOUT YOU,,,

dO YOU REMEMBER WHY THEY SENT YOU 1N?

[puppetninja]

Oh yeah.
Shouldn't get mouthy about your opinions on the re-education system in a bar on friday night.
Lesson heard, loud and clear.

[Heard, but not learned. If anything, this experience has only cemented in Bro's mind that Ariel is messed up and backwards. After all, he's integrated fairly well, hasn't he? And yet.]

Listen can I


I'm not home right now.
and I really
Uh

I ran into Davesprite on my first day out and shit was awkward enough before that fun little encounter.

[He doesn't get specific, because he doesn't want to. And while he knows that trolls don't exactly understand the concept of incest, he's pretty sure that Summoner will understand 'awkward'.]

[likeabos]

[That was something both Bro and The Summoner could both agree on. Not that the brownblood was ever going to dare voice that opinion over the network, no matter how secure it may have seemed. He had learned his lesson the first time for pulling such stunts.

So instead he focused upon the later portion of the conversation. The part that dealt with Bro's current situation.]

dAVESPR1TE?
yOU MEAN THE ORANGE AV1AN K1D?
wHAT ABOUT H1M?

[Now that he thought about it, there was slight physical similarity between the two, but The Summoner himself had never quite grasped the concept of human bonds none the less had he ever been told about the connection they both shared. In fact, he was surprised to figure out that Bro knew the kid at all.]

1F YOU WANT, yOU CAN COME OVER TO MY PLACE,,,
1T'S PRETTY B1G AND SPAC1OUS SO 1T'LL BE EASY FOR YOU TO GET SOME QU1ET SPACE TO YOURSELF,,,
hELL, 1'LL EVEN BREAK OPEN A BOTTLE OR TWO FROM MY STASH 1F YA WANT AND WE CAN DO TH1NGS TO HELP CLEAR YOUR M1ND A L1TTLE,,,
tHE LEAST 1 CAN DO W1TH ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH OVER TH1S PAST WEEK,,,

[puppetninja]

...dude, he's my kid brother.
Well, my kid brother crossed with a gamesprite and a dead crow, but we're not here to dish about deets.

I'd really like to come over though, yeah.
If you don't mind, I mean.
The idea of going home and facing him is more than a little fucking nerve-wracking right now.

A bottle sounds nice.
Mind if I head that way now?

[Regardless of the answer, Bro was already sneaking out of the bed he'd woken up in, pulling on his clothes and slipping out of the apartment, trying to orient himself so he can find Summoner's pad.]
