[ At one point at the beginning of April, Fai sends Nyskie a text. He wants to make good on the promise to go to the Night Gardens with her, and now seems like the perfect time. ]
I hear that the Night Gardens are having a date night special! What do you say we go?
mad mouse micah the only thing he likes more than a kickflip is the bong he ran away from home because his parents dont believe in his career as a dj even though his soundcloud is poppin hes too shy to ask but can he crash at your place for a bit
[ It's really hard to find a way to say this without being all "hey I was totally eavesdropping on the network and felt bad about something you said" but oh boy.... ]
I wanted to tell you that you didn't deserve being left out in the cold. People just get scared and I know you know that! Still, that doesn't make it feel any better.
I'm sorry. Sleep tight, Nyskie. Someone's thinking about you!
[Hmm! Someone has been snooping on other people’s network threads! Not that Nyskie can judge at all—of course she browses the other discussions under a comment she’s replied to. If people really wanted the stuff they say on the network to be private, they wouldn’t post it publicly for everyone and their grandma to read!
So of course Emil saw the reply she made to that anonymous question earlier. She doesn’t really mind. What she was not expecting was to get a sweet little message about it while she was dead to the world under a pile of pillows and blankets. The sun is high in the sky by the time she’s awake enough to ring Emil back with a reply.]
Emiiiiiil!
[Hi.]
You’re so sweet. Thank you for the nice message!
But really, you don’t need to worry about me. I can take care of myself, I promise.
[ Emil laughs after this exchange of greetings. He's slept since he sent that earlier message, so of course he's greeting a new day with renewed enthusiasm. ]
Oh! Hee hee.... I know. Instead of worrying, consider it caring! I hope today is another wonderful day!
yes dave, memes are a universal constant but because there's no network on gorgonzola, all memes have to be sent by messenger usually on foot, unless you are very wealthy you can't imagine the thrill of receiving a parchment with a fresh meme after weeks of bitter meme drought
i feel like youd appreciate any little thing more if it were hand delivered to you which makes me wonder if you know any good classic memes from home because now im imagining theyre just like ist thou refrigerator running and then 6 months later you find out whoever sent the first one is dead and you never hear the answer
...to join me this Wednesday, August 11, 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., for cordial amusement at the Estancia Hotel rooftop gardens and swimming pool, located on Summer Way in Sumarlok, Ruby Plaza.

[ inej has been very quiet, since arrival. mostly settling in, coming to grips with being here for longer than expected. dealing with kaz. it's a full time job, all things considered.
but nyskie had been kind to her, upon arrival. and so: ]
[Oh, here's a name she hasn't seen in a while! It actually takes Nyskie a moment to place her, but then she does remember, and it's with enthusiasm that she sends back a response.]
hi inej! long time no see
actually, i'm not busy at all
[She glances down at the half-finished wormstrosity she's in the midst of gluing together.]
not with anything that can't wait, anyway. you need something?
Dave, I will reiterate this once more: my cat's name is Bea, not Steven. If you keep insisting on calling her Steven, I will formally revoke any access to my body that you once had.
[Ok, this is amazing. She has no idea who this username even belongs to, but there is only one way to respond to this: with a Dave-style meme. She has been practising, check this out:]
[As soon as he gets the message from a username he doesn't know, he scrolls up to see his initial message. That was meant for Dave, not whoever this is.
Yet, by their response, they knew Dave. Somehow that made this more mortifying that he just told someone he was threatening to withhold his body from the man if he kept misnaming his cat...
Instead of letting them know he's mortified he says simply:]
Apologies, that was meant for someone else. But were you meaning to imitate Dave more closely: the lettering is the wrong color and the image is too clear.
Treasure of my heart, don't take this the wrong way but we really have to figure out how to stop getting your—very beautiful—hair stuck in the shower drain.
[Oh hey, it's this guy! Long time no see, Mr. Dirtyhands. Played any good card games recently? Perhaps with the object of your comically-saccharine affection?]
i have the solution to your problem!
well, maybe not the problem of you sending embarrassingly personal private messages to random people instead of your beautiful, cherished lover
but i have the solution to your shower drain problem

It's been a long month.
[ but, you know. she's here!! ]
I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to pick up some things I need.
Our guest room is barren and it needs something in it.
[ and nyskie seems like the type of person to . . . decorate things.
inej has literally never had a house in her entire life, please help. ]
