[There isn't even an answering machine message here, only some horrible recreation of the theme from that one SBaHJ video he did made completely of clips of different bird calls.]

[ceded]

Mmm....

[ Xion folds her arms behind her head, watching the sky. ]

... I know. But it's okay. I still think I'd rather wait. It's not like we can leave, right? Well, not if we want to. So... I probably have time.

[crowsicle]

Yeah.

[He goes quiet for a while, but he's watching her, not the sky.]

I could get you a stuffed bunny. Those seem to make good gifts.

[ceded]

[ She doesn't notice his eyes on her. Not until he says that, and she glances at him in surprise. After blinking once or twice, she smiles so warmly it makes her eyes crinkle. ]

Hehe. I'd be okay with a stuffed bunny.

[crowsicle]

[How can he not smile back when she smiles at him like that?]

Cool, then I will. You wanna come with me to pick it out?

[ceded]

... wait, we're really gonna get one?

[ Xion sits up, blinking at him, a little startled... and then beams at him with all the bright, blinding force of the sun. ]

Yeah! I'd love to!

[thepuppetmaster]

What the fuck do you think you're doing.

[crowsicle]

dude i left you a note

[thepuppetmaster]

I'm aware of that, asshole.
Don't make me repeat myself.

[crowsicle]

this is where ordinarily id spam you with obscene amounts of bullshit until you realized there was nothing to worry about
but this actually looks pretty serious
we might not get home for a while
but were ok alright dont worry about us

[thepuppetmaster]

None of that leads me to believe that any of this is ok.
Are you going to tell me what's going on or do I have to come and hunt you down.

[crowsicle]

bro i have never been more unironically fucking serious than i am in this moment when i say
do NOT come after us
im doing what i can but the more people get pulled into this the less able ill be to keep me and xion safe
this isnt something even dirk strider ninja prince of heart can fix so just sit tight until we can get this cluster unfucked
you wont even miss me

[thepuppetmaster]

You know, I was with you there.
I really was.
Right up until that last fucking part.

[crowsicle]

ok
well
i wish you didnt have to miss me but i guess theres nothing either of us can really do about that
i cant come home
id put everybody in danger
will you keep an eye on them for me

[thepuppetmaster]

Ugh.
Dave.
You're putting me in one hell of an awkward position here.

[crowsicle]

i know
im sorry
but trust me at least this much
i know what i need to do and its for something important

[thepuppetmaster]

...
Ok.
I trust you.

[crowsicle]

[thepuppetmaster]

Ok.
I'll hold you to that.

[thepuppetmaster]

If anything happens to you...

[crowsicle]

[thepuppetmaster]

I swear to God if you are doing something stupid right now I will KILL YOU MY FUCKING SELF.

[thepuppetmaster]
