[ 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?

[ 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. ]

[transmit]

[ he bought thornsmeow an entire bowl why would he not be serious!!!!!!!!



he doodles on thorns' picture a cat placing a paw on a beaker and sends it back. ]

You could've gotten a new assistant.

[oversea]

That would be extremely dangerous.
Please learn proper lab safety.

[ thorns is the last person who should lecture on lab safety but okay. ]

[transmit]

[ thorns you are literally the last person he wants to hear this from


he opens a new canvas and draws the same cat knocking over a beaker and it erupting into flames. it is greatly exaggerated as one would assume from the entire room being on fire, but it's fine.

elysium moves on with his life… ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY


thorns is unable to respond to this because he proceeds to set something on fire. ]

[transmit]

[ he is once again left on his own to grieve. okay.



he starts to wonder if they should adopt a dog. hmm. a dog wouldn't abandon him… ]

[oversea]

[ hes already giving up on the cat idea?!

okay.

much much later, elysium will get a picture of the labubu. ]

[transmit]

[ elysium's going through it he can't be trusted for shit!!!!!!

and another much, much later: ]

He looks cold.

[oversea]

[ he gets another picture.

the labubu is now tucked into bed. ]

[transmit]

[ cute… ]

What about you?

[ can thorns tuck himself into bed, thanks. ]
