This post is William's IC inbox at ataraxion. You can drop network or action stuff that doesn't quite feel like it fits or warrants a post on the main communities in here.
[William's initial wave of relief, that he's still secret, gives way to an uncomfortable hesitation. The comm device glows at him from the tiny space between his pillow and the mattress.]
I feel like the speed of reignition in yr pursuit of cloned flesh gloves sort of fails to givet he magnitude of the recent cluster the proper fucking recognition a bit.
is mistleeto deadly? can it get in my room
[Even after checking on Sirius' warning to the general public, this information does not seem altogether clear. Also he might be a little fuzzy on the Western holiday mastication ritual of druidic origin, although his player isn't sure if that's because he's too Asian or too space-age but an awful lot of yellow people around Hong Kong certainly wouldn't know, and they barely have any plants where he comes from anymore.] Is it terrestrial or should I be careful taking a shit
I wasn't offering to spring you because of the gloves. They're releasing everyone else.
I'll admit I was looking for you because I had a question about them, but it's not important.
[ :C ]
It's not aquatic. Its houldn't be able to enter your room unless you leave the door open. If it spots you it might try to follow. It isn't deadly. It will leave you alone if you kiss someone.
I think Sirius meant it for everyone. To cheer people up, like you said. He did this sort of thing all the time at school. It's just a little out of hand at the moment. Hopefully no one bottles him in the head for it.
There is quite a lot of shit. Do you want to talk about it?
If it makes you feel any better, [ ha ha ] I tried to bite someone.
taht does sound reasonably harmless. I mean unless youve got poisom teeth which I guess I would nt put past anyoen at this point.
What was your arm glove question
[insert a bunch of hesitation here. William is a bit slow lately and smothering himself with his pillow isn't helping, but eventually, the small grim Heather perched on his shoulder wins out over the gnawing urge to conFESS EVERYTHING]
going 2 take a pg out of your book and try the wizardly understatement and stiff upper lip I tihnk. Dwellings boring
Frustrating but respectable. Suppose arguing would be hypocritical. My mum used to read me "Invictus" now and then, when I felt like shit. She wasn't a witch, though. Just British.
My teeth are a bit poison, as it were. I wanted to ask if any nascent arm flesh was being kept out of sight & if not if you would mind hiding them. It's not important.
[ Also, after some technologically-challenged fumbling and possibly a few blank messages, he manages to attach and send one of his garbage space mystery novels. ]
[It takes some time for William to respond, possibly spacing at the blank messages or otherwise trying to interpret what paroxysms of sentiment might link 'nascent arm flesh' to them.
Who says 'nascent arm flesh?' That's so weird. But not weirder than the attachment that binks into his phone a little while later.]
[ Maybe he can see brackets-William. Maybe it's a wizard thing. ]
As far as I can tell. I think everything in the ship's library is. But I don't know all that much about the universe. I forwent the history & science texts & skipped straight to the fine literature.
[ He's joking. He knows it's garbage. But since William can't see brackets-Remus, either, he's welcome to go in expecting War & Peace and then WHAM, murder and strappy stilettos and snappy one-liners. ]
No one that I know of. Some people are still recovering, but I've heard rumors that the medical staff is competent. Do you want me to check after anyone in particular? I don't mind.
The first apple werent exactly in stellar shape by the time I got around was it
Thanks. really thanks. your friend too i take it. [He realizes he'd rather forgotten to ask/care/etc.] nobody put anything in his skull if hes going around growing carnivorous miseltoes

Is this a bribe re yoru unformed bits
[He isn't sure it's a very good one.]
no subject
Not really. I guess you'd have to like that sort of thing. ]
It's for if you're bored.
Unless a bribe is necessary.
Then, yes, it is a bribe.
[ Also: cool kids say 'nascent arm flesh'. ]

[Since Remus can't sEE BRACKETS-WILLIAM he should take this fairly unironically. And it is, actually.]

[He'd been in some danger of feeling better before remembering to think.]
no subject
Some people are still recovering, but I've heard rumors that the medical staff is competent.
