[ a meteor needs to fall from the sky and flatten him.

thorns goes home and spends like an hour staring at the delivered meal kit like it's the worst thing to ever happen to him. he hates it here. he has no idea how to be a good boyfriend.

EXPLODES!!!! ]

[transmit]

[ if it makes thorns feel any better, the box says this one is free as per using someone's code during checkout… 🥺




there's also an apolo-cookie added on. this is pathetic. ]

[oversea]

[ ...

he takes a picture of the prepared meal and sends it to elysium. he expects no answer so he just goes to bed after. ]

[transmit]

[ tears up

it's not that he doesn't want to respond, it's that he can't respond until it's well past midnight…

at around 3AM: ]

Sorry for earlier.

Was it good?

[oversea]

[ elysium gets a response at 6am, ]

Yearg

[ okay. thank you thorns. ]

[transmit]

[ somehow elysium is still awake. he is so tired he's not thinking about the optics of these timestamps, but hopefully thorns won't too… ]

I don't know if you saw, but I got them as part of a promotion.
Sooooooooo

No need to feel bad!!!! Think of everything as pretty much free, yeah?

[ this is how it works ]

[oversea]

Okay
Goodnight.

[ it is so apparent thorns is struggling to stay awake and that he might fall back to sleep at any moment. ]

Wait
Your dinner

[transmit]

[ he


did not have dinner… but he can fix this ]

What do you mean, dinner? It's 6. It's time for breakfast.

[ he can fix this but then it takes ten minutes to ]

oats

[oversea]

[ ELYSIUM.......... D*E!!!!! ]

Picture

[transmit]

[ he's busier trying to feed thorns than he is himself it's hard out here

also, his bowl is literally just oats. the optics are so questionable. another ten minutes later (is thorns even alive through this), he sends a photo of oats with yogurt and horribly chopped fruit, edited to the brink of absurdity with a bunch of stickers to distract from how ugly it actually looks. ]

Healthy, no?

[oversea]

[ elysium you are a fool.

five minutes pass before elysium gets a reply, ]

Yum m

[ and now he's asleep ]

[transmit]

[ SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (there is a chat history.) ]

Sleep well 😊

[oversea]

[ there is a chat history.

but thorns does not contact him again for the rest of the day. must be sleepy. ]

[transmit]

[ he is in better spirits after that short exchange…

later in the day, another picture! today's friend is a skrunkly black cat; in front of it is a milk bowl. it looks newly purchased. ]

Doesn't he look like you?

[ the next picture is of elysium's bare forearm. there is a gnarly red scratch… ]

He even acts like you.

[oversea]

[ he deserve that... thorns noticed the three hour difference between morning messages. ]

Are you adopting?

[transmit]

Can I?

[oversea]

[ HE WAS JOKING ]

I can check the lease?

[transmit]

[ is it this post that's lagging or is it dreamwidth i'm in tears half the time when i open up a tag now i have to refresh like three times ]

🥺

[oversea]

[ the way i have no idea because everything lags for me on mobile. but we also never started new top levels these two threads have to be so long

elysium is so cute though. not cute enough for thorns to forget they were on the cusp of a fight earlier, but still enough that thorns will try to pretend that didn't happen. ]

Okay. A cat is fine.
Good luck.

[transmit]

[ there is lag and then there is Lag but this is true. every time i thought about a new top-level i'd get too lazy…

elysium, meanwhile, is fighting for his life, forget his fight with thorns. ]







IT RA N AWYA

[oversea]

😢👎

Tragic.

[transmit]

[ he grew so attached in the few seconds he had to fantasize about life with thornsmeow he is now officially inconsolable


he is never going to recover from this. thorns is left on read. ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY

thorns has no connection to this kitten besides seeing a picture so he is not upset by these turn of events.

he will return to going about his day..... letting elysium grieve. ]

[transmit]

[ a little later in the day: ]

everywhere I go…… I see him……

[ he is

at an art gallery???? and sends thorns impressionist art of a cat lounging on a sunny day. it is also thorns coloured. okay!

sometimes a guy just needs a therapy animal, ]

[oversea]

[ thorns is realizing that the cat thing might be more serious than he thought.

he sends a picture of some lab equipment in return. there is no cat here because it would be insane to bring an animal into a lab. ]
