[ call or text Reim within! I was going to set up a voicemail inbox message but then I realized no one is ever going to hear it unless he’s unconscious or dead. it doesn’t matter if you call at 3am he’ll pick up. ]

[ dipping out of the bathroom then, closing the door quickly behind them ]

The steam needs to stay trapped inside, so don't go back in.

[ and heading for his bedroom door to go get the food ]

'Kay, got it.

[Elliot stands very deliberately out of sight from outside the door. The rocks must remain a secret.]

[ GOES TO GET THE FOOD. he can balance two plates on one arm and close the door behind him on his way back in. hands one to Elliot, along with a knife and fork. Idk what he made maybe like an omelet ]

Here you are. Apologies for my inexperienced cooking.

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

[He has sat down by now, and he happily takes the plate and just goes for it.]

Ehh, you're not a chef but your food's a lot better than the stuff out of boxes! I'm just lucky you're feeding me.

['Cause he's been eating a ton of snacks while making faces about the quality because monster metabolism.]

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

I'm happy to hear that much, at least. Some of the packaged sweets are quite agreeable, but some are a bit...

[ sitting on the floor to also eat ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Gross? If that's what the future is like, I'd rather stay "old fashioned".

[He has been called old fashioned by someone so ofc he's taken it as some kind of challenge.]

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

If you call yourself old-fashioned, I really will start to feel like an old man.

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Somebody else said it first! Just 'cause I don't like people telling me about their sex lives out of nowhere! Or trying to talk about mine!

[Somehow this has become a common offence.]

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

Why are people so blase about that sort of thing......

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

'Cause the future has no dignity or respect at all! They eat bad food and have no manners and smash instruments at concerts!

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

They do what?!

[ SCANDALIZED ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

[THANK GOD SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS]

I know! Why would you do that?! The future is a bad place, Reim!

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

That's so-- ridiculously costly and wasteful, not to mention incredibly disrespectful to the craftsmanship-!! Is this really what our future holds in store?! Who said such a thing??!

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Roy Harper!

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

[ HOW COULD YOU ROY HARPER ]

Did... did he participate?

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

PROBABLY!

[Truly his biggest crime, if so.]

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

No.

[ he is so disturbed by this he has forgotten about the clothes ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

He said he plays the same kind of music where that happens, so...

[He'd also be forgetting the clothes, except he's getting a little chilly sitting around with no shirt on.]

We were talking about trying to get a piano, but if we do I'm keeping an eye on him around it.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

-Oh, but a piano would be lovely.

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Yeah. I'm not getting my hopes up, but it'd be nice.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

Why not? I expect it shouldn’t be difficult at all. Why don’t we try with the three of us? If that isn’t enough, I’m sure Sharon would love to lend a hand, and some of our housemates are musicians themselves.

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

I already asked for a lot of stuff. I figured they'd get fed up is all.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

If you’re rejected for that reason, someone else could ask in your stead. We can’t know the limitations of the box without testing them ourselves.

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Then we'll try it later.

[. . .]

Uhm. Are those clothes done yet? It's cold.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

-Oh!! My apologies!!

[ SETS HIS FOOD ASIDE AND RUNS TO THE BATHROOM turning the shower off and retrieving the clothes. he comes back out still in a hurry and lays them out on top of Elliot's dresser to press out the last traces of wrinkles ]
