I…do not know a Stan. But I am an adequate cook. At least I consider myself that much, in comparison to my partner.

But, nevertheless, I look forward to our collaboration.

Brah, I love your whole- look. I should totally steal you for a show.

I—thank…you? I haven’t had great experiences with “being stolen” in recent memory, unfortunately.

What would this…be for?

[strifeso]

….you’ve absolutely asked the right person. The more educated people become—the less influence they’ll have. My mistake will not be repeated.

Then, I’ll repeat my answer again: I’d be more than elated to participate.

[strifeso]

Ah, I see. That makes much more sense.

I’d be honored. Truly. I’ve never dabbled in lyricism or songwriting before, but I can give it my best shot.

…I didn’t get your nose right. Please allow me time to redraw the facial structure.

You and Kam should do the ‘draw your partner’ trend!!

OH MY GOD. You’re a genius, anon—hold on—

Kam said they needed more time on it 💔 but honestly the full thing is SO pretty omg pookster please let me frame it 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[strifeso]

Do you believe in soulmates?

…I’d like to imagine such things are true. I’m sure my life would’ve turned for the worst—had Nadine not been in my life when she was.

[strifeso]

You’re akin to an old soul, to me.

who would you consider your family?

I consider many people familial. Nadine, Logi, Icarus, Ryan. And—those other two, Mortimer and Vernon. They’re moreso like geriatric uncle-esque figures. Neutrally in Vernon’s case. I’ve had time enough to warm up with Mortimer.

[strifeso]

Hah. I found this one too.

Ah, I see. Now that I understand the format—it is quite comical.

….I see. That makes more sense.

I don’t understand.

That is? Not an iPod? An iPod is a small digital device used to play and store music.

[strifeso]

An isopod. They’re a very diverse species—with family lines found both on land and in the sea. The most recognizable isopod would likely be the “pill bug.”

The one pictured is an aquatic, giant isopod. Not an iPod.

I don’t understand.

[strifeso]

If you and Nadine would be any two sea creatures, which critters would you be?

I think I’d imagine myself as a golden trout. Not anything particularly special in the fish world—but still a component of it nonetheless. I find their colors and patterns quite fascinating.

While I cannot vouch for Nadine, her favorite sea-creature lately has been the red snapper. She’s been amassing a collection of them in animal crossing, respectively.

[strifeso]

We’ll keep you posted. After all of this—it’s only shown how much more we need to stay connected. I’m certain this won’t be the last of this.

If anything out of the ordinary happens, you’ll be the first to know.

…and, I’m overjoyed you’re alive. Please stay safe.

[Mortimer bashes the door open, heaving heavy breaths as his own exhaustion begins to set in. Vernon’s slung over his shoulder, and his injuries are readily apparent. The smoke that’s been filling the room is getting intolerable.]

Guys- guys we have to go. Can someone give me a hand with him?

Mort! Oh my god—you’re—

I—Okay. Yeah—we can help out. ..Jeez, he’s heavy. Kam, you might wanna get the umbrellas. The sun’s still blazing.

…will he be alright? Vernon…came over earlier to warn us. He’s a stubborn guy, y’know.

[strifeso]

We’re not leaving.

CloseKnit’s taken enough from us. Hiding has reaped no solace. Vernon, there’s three of us, and one of him. In terms of numbers, we are stronger as a group—then singularly.

How…delightful. It’s uncharacteristic for you to show up here. Bloodied and battered—no less.

@closeknit-inquiry

[strifeso]

We’re not ones to clean up after your mess. That’s more of Mort’s forte—given your standing with him currently, is it not?

You’re not welcome here. Leave.
