[✅ Read.

Anyway he may notice the distinct sound of a motorcycle as it drives up and parks, followed by knocking, footsteps on stairs, and knocking but directly on his door this time.]

Re: day 253

[ oh

We were gone for two months and Nettle's parents boxed up — I dunno, got rid of? — his stuff since he's 18 soon, and found those people to dump me onto, and were just gonna do that except I ran into Mr. and Mrs. Waters and Aloe showed up and adopted Nettle on the spot and then I punched Nettle's mom for being an asshole. And Mr. and Mrs. W want to take me back to wherever and meet my sister and her baby and her wife's name is Sunshine.

[Wow okay.

Your name was River Waters???

Re: day 253

[audacity]

[ FRUSTRATED SOUNDS ]

The sister's Crystal Waters.

Re: day 253

[bondsofsuffering]

Ooooooooof. That's really the best they could come up with?

Re: day 253

[audacity]

[ ykw no gotta get up so he can pace ]

You'll get it when you see them. They're super...cheerful.

Re: day 253

[bondsofsuffering]

And not exactly clever?

Re: day 253

[audacity]

I mean, neither am I.

[ fiddles with his necklace as he walks ]

Nothing phases them. It's really — you're not gonna tell me I gotta go back with them or something, right?

Re: day 253

[bondsofsuffering]

Obviously not.

Re: day 253

[audacity]

That'd make you the first person today.

Re: day 253

[bondsofsuffering]

I can see what they're thinking, but it's for practical reasons, too.

I'm guessing you don't suddenly remember your life with them, right?

Re: day 253

[audacity]

[ sighs ]

No. Nothing.
