[ NOOOOOOOO THORNS' POTATOES

thorns' reaction is so tepid he starts to think that yeah maybe he should have a sense of urgency…

… ]

Should I make my special potatoes for everyone tomorrow?

[oversea]

Won't you get caught?

[ it's one thing to sneak into the kitchen for just one meal or two, but that would be a prolonged period of time... ]

[transmit]

I guess I'll just have to be.

[ thorns looked so distraught… ]

[oversea]

[ fucking help

thorns is just stressed about food waste... running a budget is tough. ]

Don't worry about it. Just keep doing what you have been.

[transmit]

No. I can fix this.

[ …

attempts to stagger off. ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY. he grabs onto him more tightly. ]

You are going to bed.

[transmit]

Our potatoes…

[ sniffle

they're their children!!!!!!! ]

[oversea]

They can wait. You look like you're half asleep already.

[ and thorns would prefer to get him to bed before he gets his second wind and is up forever. ]

[transmit]

[ *third wind

… he lets himself go slack against thorns. ]

They won't go bad. Promise.

[oversea]

I believe you. Now let's go.

[ he will use this opportunity to try to steer elysium inside and to his room... ]

[transmit]

[ okay… he will accept this…

… ]

I'll make you breakfast again. Eat it this time.

[oversea]

Okay. I'll eat it.

[ is that what the problem is.....

he gets them to his quarters, and he'll push elysium inside, closing the door after them both. ]

[transmit]

[ yes… he is here to enrich thorns' life in every way. if he adds to his stressors? then he's a failure.

so he will just collapse onto his mound so he can further contemplate fixing this in the morning. the great cuna de nene potato crisis of 19xx. gooby. ]

[oversea]

[ ah...

turns will tuck him in more properly once elysium starts snoozing. ]

You're really a handful.

[ and then he will go and get some work done at his desk before he tucks into bed as well. ]

[transmit]

[ thorns probably wakes up earlier, if only by virtue of how long elysium has gone without sleeping…

the next morning is a decent indicator of just how much work elysium has been doing through the night. things haven't quite blown up since there's only so much one man can do, but there is a certain frenetic energy hanging in the air over things that should've been done not being done.

people are wondering if the ghost is upset over the potatoes. ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY.

well, thorns needs to take note of this. on one hand it's nice that elysium does so much but on the other he is truly ruining his sleep schedule this way. perhaps they need to put a stop to the ghost adventures soon...

but he will leave breakfast for elysium on the desk as he hurries off to do his job. ]

[transmit]

[ he gets a normal amount of sleep… he just gets them at the wrong times… and by that, his sleep crimes are no worse than thorns'. still, it takes him until late afternoon to wake up, so depending on what thorns has left out for him it may be cold.

…

it's back to reading until it's safe to emerge from his cave… ]

[oversea]

[ it is cold... it is oatmeal...




there is a knock on the door. ]

[transmit]

[






elysium knocks the door back. ]

[oversea]

[ help



there's more knocking ]

[transmit]

[ he doesn't think this could be thorns, so he goes back to what he was doing no matter how bad the knocking gets. goodbye. ]

[oversea]

[ ELYSIUM.....

he's right it isn't and no one is insane enough to just barge into the captain's room unless it's an actual emergency, so the knocking eventually stops and footsteps walk off. ]

[transmit]

[ the knock back was meant to be an intimidation tactic. did it work… 🥺 ]

[oversea]

[ yes... too well...



eventually, the door opens as thorns peeks in. he doesn't open the door fully and seems to be talking to someone behind him. ]

No, there's no one in here.

[transmit]

[ …

there is the exact same series of knocks as earlier. hehe. ]
