[ who knows what i was thinking after i had to wake up at 5am ]

I'll win all of them...

[transmit]

[ YOU HAD TO? i thought you just woke up at that time naturally ]

Oh? If you drop a game, does this mean I get to ask you to do something?

[oversea]

[ it's fine...

thorns also did see how these terms relate to what he said, but okay. die. ]

Like what?

[transmit]

Just to be fair, I'll scale it based on how many you lose. So if you lose all five, expect the worst.

[ shameless… ]

[oversea]

[ he is annoying here too.

thorns just scoffs. ]

You are overestimating how good you are.

[transmit]

[ where is he not annoying. ]

You don't think you're underestimating me? Even a little? I could've been practicing the entire time you've been at sea. You don't know that.

[oversea]

[ thorns just raises an eyebrow. ]

Well? Have you?

[transmit]

I have.

[ he has not. ]

Get ready to eat your words.

[oversea]

[ they're childish.

but back to the ship they go, and they can drop off any purchases as they go, although the majority of it will be headed for thorns' quarters. ]

Should we get snacks?

[transmit]

[ they're both so annoying.

but elysium will make himself comfortable on the floor to start unpacking these many boxes. if he doesn't get to it now, will thorns bother installing these things for himself?

as it must be said, the knife set is left in the kitchen. ]

Is this a hole ourselves up for an entire weekend situation?

[oversea]

In case you get desperate and start adding more rounds.

[ okay.

but he will go with no snacks, then. thorns has to dig for the chess set... sometimes things are buried under junk, but he eventually pulls it out. ]

[transmit]

Ohhhh. For when I start taking pity on you and want to give you more chances, you mean. Sure.

[ OKAY.

this does bring to attention the overall state of thorns' room. him having a seemingly disorganised mess is nothing new, but it's possible for it to be even more reflective of thorns' current mental state and his lack of self-care.

elysium's gaze follows thorns for a touch too long before he remembers he was doing something with a curtain rod. ]

We should do some decluttering while we're at it. If we're adding things into your room, it makes sense that we take things out. Or at least, put things in a more organised manner…

[oversea]

[ once again, thorns is unaware of whatever delusions elysium is forming in his head. he just thinks, oh yeah he guesses he let this place get messy. sometimes there are just too many things that are a higher priority than cleaning your own space. ]

... Later, sure. If you don't mind.

[ elysium... this is so much work... ]

[transmit]

What do you mean, later? How are we supposed to get our head in the game if all around us is a mess?

[ he is taking time off work to do more work yippee ]

If you're tired, take a nap. You can give these curtains a trial run while you're at it.

[oversea]

I'm not making someone else clean my room. What are you, a maid?

[





tries not to imagine elysium in a maid outfit. ]

[transmit]

[ for talking about seducing each other in maid outfits before they parted, neither of them are doing much of any seducing in any maid outfits in either of the threads…

unfortunately, elysium does not know about any of this. which is why he's able to say, so confidently and wholeheartedly— ]

Maybe I am! I should find a uniform to get in the spirit. Good idea.

[oversea]

[ ...

thorns can't be weird about this because if he were normal (not in love with his bestie) he would not have any real reaction to that. ]

I'm not buying one for you.

[transmit]

[ when being in love with your best friend is considered abnormal. okay…… ]

I can buy one for myself! Long skirt? Short skirt? Heels? No heels? [ he's very clearly talking to himself. ] Hmmmm. It all goes back to form or function. Or… form and function? I should ask for second opinions.

[oversea]

[ thorns is debating all of the ways he can jump off the ship without getting caught. ]

Who would you even ask.

[ this is a topic is he fine about. ]

[transmit]

I can include it in my transmission to the Doctor when I give them my usual update. What don't they have an answer for?

[ they are also the only person who, unfortunately, does not leave elysium on read. for better and for worse. ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY.

...

thorns just starts cleaning up without responding to that. ]

[transmit]

A hot guy should be able to pull off anything.

[ sets these poles to the side. ]

I'll get you your snacks while I'm at it.

[oversea]

While you're at what.

[ WHAT

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ]

[transmit]

While I'm out doing more shopping.

[ like it's a duh. ]

Did you want to come with me?

[ for all intents and purposes, at this point in time it is still a joke. a joke perhaps taken too far, but a joke. ]

[oversea]

[ this seems dangerous.

so thorns just shakes his head. ]

I feel like if I go with you, you're just going to spend more money.
