The Great Jecht

sharktrash

yeah no kidding! i tried you know. guess i'm pretty light

awesome! seeya soon

From:

[First, a quick text that simply says Just to let you know I'm dating someone before you get any ideas. And then, not too long after, a voicemail-]

Snow Bear, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Snow Bear, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year~

[SURPRISE SOLSTICE CAROLS, HEEEEY]

From:

I am so sorry what happened

Are you alright??

[She won't judge even slightly if he doesn't answer- mind control or not, she did drug him and bludgeon him upside the head with a blunt object.]

From:

Look, I gotta ask, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

It wasn't even just you!

From:

[Oh hell. Did he not catch onto the end of the night...?]

[Why does not mentioning the mind control music, teleporting murderous Pride CEO, and Blanche's casual assertion of their essential slavery make this harder to explain?]

Naomi basically drugged some of us while we were helping her out

I know that sounds unbelievable....

From:

[Sure he did. But a few things played into his confusion -- a lack of understanding first among them. Just because he'd seen all that stuff doesn't mean he necessarily believes it. There has to be a less crazy explanation. After all, he hadn't been through quite as much as Luce had...]

[And, oh yeah, he also had a head wound for all of that. Which makes everything just that much more surreal and implausible in retrospect.]

I KNEW it had to be something like that! That bitch!

From:

I think it had something to do with Lesedi and Blanche's rivalry... But talking to that man is like banging your head against a wall.

Speaking of head trauma, did I hit you badly?

From:

I've been playing metal for a couple decades now. You tell me if you think you hit me hard enough that I'd notice after all that.

From:

Fair enough point. Small blessings, right?

From:

Yeah.

...I was one of the lucky ones.

From:

I know.

Is anyone from your band hurt?

From:

Nothing major. ....not anymore, you aren't going to believe this, but Lesedi fixed them. Like, 'death's door' to 'slightly hurt'. Said she was the only thing keeping them alive in the first place.

I wanna say that's crap but I can't explain it.

From:

I believe you.

I think there are a lot of things we're not being told.

From:

Yeah.

If you figure anything out... get it over to me. If you can. And if you can't...

From:

Right.

Stay safe, Jecth.

From:

(still would've liked it if we'd snuck off for real ;) )

From:

Maybe another day, dear. ★~(◠‿◕✿)

This is a PSA. Looks like there's some cross-label New Years things being planned. While it's ultimately up to you, I recommend that you do not attend.

Since I'm sure I'll be getting a lot of the same questions, let me answer them now:
- Because I don't consider you expendable.
- Yes, I'm serious.
- Yes, I do think it's not safe.
- No, I'm not drunk or high or paranoid.
- No, it's not just about "us and them". I'm fucking aware of what both sides got to say.

In case you're fucking stubborn about going and we never meet again, happy New Year!

This the party or that songwriting thing? Haven't got any alarm bells about the second yet but maybe you heard something I didn't?

From:

sharktrash

Nah, as far as I'm aware that one can be done remotely. I was talking about the party.

From:

'Kay -- just checking, making sure I wasn't missing something.

From:

sharktrash

So? You're not planning to go are you?

From:

Really not in a hurry for round 2 of the other night, no. And that's putting aside what the parties are like anyway.

From:

sharktrash

Glad to hear that.

Feel like jamming into New Year right there in the penthouse?

Right, before any tabloids catch onto that, I mean musically.

From:

I got plans. Of the variety the tabloids would LOVE to get their hands on.

...actually I'm also in a hurry to get my hands on those plans, if you get what I'm saying.

From:

sharktrash

Do I want to know?

From:

When a man and a woman really want to pork each other, they totally bang. I ain't your dad, you ain't getting a better talk from me than that.

From:

sharktrash

THAT IS SO NOT WHAT I ASKED??? FUCK OFF

uh anyway. i told her she can come over for nye but if you were planning to go somewhere else please do that instead i do not need to see this. or hear this.

From:

Can't promise on the hearing thing, she might be a screamer...

From:

sharktrash

SO RENT A FUCKING ROOM

or tell me in advance so i can vacate the premises

From:

Warning you in advance, then, so we can use your room while you're out!

From:

sharktrash

don't you fucking DARE

[ NO RESPONSE ]

[ though he might hear shrieking from outside the penthouse ]

From:

[No packaging for him, just a text.]

I want you to be my Solstice Kiss. XD (And more than that.)

From:

Merry Solstice to me!

We hitting a party, or you wanna go someplace more... comfortable?

From:

Something... private. Not everyone needs to see your gift...

[Attached is a photo of green strap on pale skin. It's not enough, but it's teasing enough to whet his curiosity.]

From:

I see two things there... which one's the gift? (I'm greedy and hope for both...)

From:

Both. I feel generous. <3

From:

Then I'm gonna give you one hell of a gift yourself.

From:

I look forward to it.<3

[Then another picture is sent, a very well rounded bottom in panties the color of the strap she just sent.]

From:

I gotta say your usual outfits don't do you justice.

and don't get me wrong you look AMAZING in everything I've seen you wear, just *damn girl*
