text - i told you i would

[unweave]

Haven't seen you in a while. Are you alive?

where's my sexting :/ jk ilu

[ghettobatman]

More or less. [MATT THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR JOKES]

What about you, Are Ah Knee Ah? Is everything okay?

[blame this on voice to text....]

soon :/

[unweave]

Uh.

Call me A, if your device is being a dick.

Anyways. Since Wyver? Yeah, things are juuuust peachy for being uprooted from a place you were getting comfortable with.
Not dead, but with the infection stopping from spreading, luckily I'm not sick either.

woah..... u changing ur mind huh

[ghettobatman]

Sorry about that. It's having a hard time with your name.

That's good to hear. It seems like a lot of people are.

[INCLUDING HIM!!!!] At least things might be calmer here.

just a thot

[unweave]

Hopefully, but wouldn't put your guard down just yet. This is just one big reset — anything we did to get in Olympia's good graces are gone.

omg

[ghettobatman]

I thought that only applied to the fugitives. Aren't they only evacuating the rest of us from Olympus to avoid contamination?

[fuk u autocorrect]

[unweave]

They say that, but I'm not going to praise them for yoinking us out and throwing us into unknown territory.

We may not be on the run like the fugitives, but we're still nobodies licking any hand that feeds us.

[ghettobatman]

They have their own population to think of so I can't say I hold it against them.

But we are getting tossed around from place to place....

[unweave]

I just put money down to a fucking warehouse in Olympia for the merc group. Tell me how I'm suppose to wrangle 20+ people together with no base of operation?!

It's a big headache.

[ghettobatman]

Look at it this way, you have a lot of potential new clientele.

I'm sure their borders will open again, once the sickness is contained.

[he's... trying to be optimistic.... jury's out on if it actually helps or not]

[unweave]

Always sunny over on your side of the world, isn't it?

Guess that's one way to look at it. Dodging being sick and avoiding pissy city guards hasn't put me in the best of moods, unfortunately.

[ghettobatman]

Just trying to make the best of things, I suppose. Besides, I have faith in you, A. You can make business flourish across borders.

Did you run into any trouble?

[unweave]

Me? Nah, all sugar and rainbows over here. Trying to get some cash and get people working. They're pretty focused on making us "earn our worth" — like Olympia didn't just get fucked with a plague.

[ghettobatman]

It might be hard for them to accept new people. We'll have to be patient.

But the bright side is, I think there's a lot of work to be done.

[unweave]

Which means opportunity so long as there isn't a third city we get whisked away to.

But, I'd like to think I'm an optimist — so you're right.

[ghettobatman]

They don't have any reason to throw us out if we're meant to get better. So if they try to throw us out, I'll sue them.

[he's joking!!! It's probably hard to tell over text, though]

You're always thinking about how to move forward, A. I'm sure your business will flourish.

[assholic]

I need a favor.

[ghettobatman]

[That's a little ominous]

[But he responds with an immediate:]

What is it?

[assholic]

I have someone I know who could use your expertise. They have the same gig you do with the enhanced senses. I told them I'd talk to you about it. Didn't tell them who you were, so you can say no.

[ghettobatman]

[This is... unexpected, to say the least]

How well do you know this person? How did you even find out about this?

[He does trust Jessica's judgement, and he'd more or less learned his lesson about trusting other people with abilities, but.]

[assholic]

They know about me. I know about them. They're decent people.

[ghettobatman]

[The reply was a little slow in coming, because he was mulling it over.]

And you're sure we can trust them?

["We", huh...]

[assholic]

At what point in our relationship have I ever given you the impression that I'm an individual that trusts easily?

[ghettobatman]

Good point.

[Never, honestly]

All right. I'll do it.

[assholic]

Good. He's my roommate. His name's Clark. I didn't tell him anything specific about you, just that you two had something in common and you might be able to help him focus or whatever weird ninja shit you do.

Let him know I sent you.
