[ he really should be asleep by now, and it's obvious he needs it by how exhausted he sounds, but he has to get rid of this particular urge first. it's been bothering him since the adrenaline (and chaos) finally died down. ]

... Can anyone else summarize their day in two words. I'll start.

[ a meaningful pause. ]

Giant robots.

[neopianangst]

...Giant robots here too.

"Strange visions".

... what giant robots?

[disenchant]

I lost count how many of them were around— Did you almost get stepped on by one too?

[disenchant]

I had a lot of those too.

You didn't see them?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Emotional Rollercoaster

[neopianangst]

[...Oh. He regrets replying to this after hearing that but it's too late now.]

No, uh...I was. Stuck in one.

[lookulittleshit]

... Magical cards.

[ ... ]

The robots -- one of them belongs to you?

[disenchant]

I think it's the same for everyone...

How bad was it for you?

[ oops. he probably shouldn't have asked but he pressed 'send' before he thought twice about it. he'll apologize afterwards if it's a problem. ]

[The next morning]

[shiromadoushi]

Fucking Nightmare


I don't even think I SAW the giant robots. I've been waiting for those things since forever too.

[labrador]

Ahaha... somehow I managed to miss them.

I was rather distracted.

voice

[youngestone]

[Killian is just as exhausted sounding]

Metal in thigh. That's three, but "in' doesn't really count.

[Audio]

[beforeweproceed]

Fucking exhausting.

[Physical, mental, and emotional, and he sounds like he's feeling all three.]

[disenchant]

Magical cards—? And no, I...

I saw two of them. Up close and personal. Way too close and personal.

[disenchant]

... You were stuck in one.

[ can you hear the tiny bit of judgment in his tone. ]

[disenchant]

... They were hard to miss. How did you not see them?

[disenchant]

... I don't even want to know how you missed them. [ THEY WERE XBOX HUGE KEITH. XBOX HUGE. ]

Distracted by what?

[shiromadoushi]

Survivor hunt. Too busy trying not to panic and digging through wreckage to see anything but what I was doing.

[disenchant]

Metal in—thigh? [ what. ] What do you mean?

[neopianangst]

[Don't judge okay it was very traumatizing.]

Yeah it just kinda...appeared. Around me. I guess. And it didn't really do much...walking?

[Because Evas are high-maintenance and he had no idea of what he was doing oops.]

[labrador]

I'll... tell you when I get home.

But why don't you tell me more about the robots?

[disenchant]

Yeah. I don't really... feel like going through that again.

[lookulittleshit]

Nothing of yours broken, I hope?

[disenchant]

[ he doesn't like the implication behind those words, but. he won't question it until keith gets back. ]

What did you want to know? They were gigantic. John and I saw two up close.

[beforeweproceed]

I'll say.

[He drags off into a breath. Audible, but not pointedly so. And picks up as... not nonchalantly, obviously, but conversationally as he can:]

You... have any friends who were involved in all that?

[labrador]

... how giant are we talking?
