(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : Hey, so, sounds like Alfie won't be able to make it to the library later. Rain check?

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : (at the same time he sends that) Is there a dress code to getting milkshakes? Like. With another person?

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Of the male variety. Also, Rain check is fine. I'm always around.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : I don't know that it gets more casual than milkshakes? Would it be safe to assume this person of the male variety is someone you have not-entirely-platonic ideas about?

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Maybe? Probably? I don't fucking know. I literally only met him yesterday. You're right. Milkshakes is really casual. I shouldn't even be worrying about it.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Not that I'm worrying about it. I'm not.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : ....I totally believe you.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : So, I'm sitting in a tower in the woods right now with time to kill. Tell me about this maybe-probably-not-platonic male that made such a good first impression?

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Good. You should. As much as I love the woods, that sounds extremely boring.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : I dropped by Kelly's Gym to talk to Joey and he wasn't there. This guy was working on the electrical stuff, after the fire that happened there. He was dressed ridiculously. I made some smart ass remark about him being a Time Traveler and...I dunno. We just had a really good conversation about nothing at all. Random stuff. And he entertained the Time Traveler thing a bit. I can tell he's got baggage, but I mean. Don't we all? And he's like us. He's got some...power. Potentialy at least. Healing I think, but he doesn't believe it or isn't ready to accept it?

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : So you know me. I need to reveal the truth to everyone. But I don't wanna rip the band aid off with this guy? I want to like...ease him in to it?

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Jesus christ. Kill me now. I'm cringing at my own words.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : Well, speaking from experience, you're probably right to try avoiding the band-aid-rip approach. But... I dunno'. Just hang out with him, go get your milkshakes, and maybe bring it up again when he gets to know you better and knows you're not a crazy person? Because he will absolutely think you're a crazy person if you just start talking about that stuff apropos of nothing.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Yeah. I don't plan on bringing it up. Hell I don't even want him to see my living room because it might just scare him off. But, he is a dog person. So I'm going to stay near the door - Wishbone can say hi and then I'll go outside. Hopefully. That's the plan.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : Seems like a good plan. Bonus that Wishbone is impossible not to like.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : It's true. He's growing by the minute, I swear it. So. I should stick to jeans and a t-shirt right? Something a little nicer?

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : It's milkshakes. Unless you wear, a prom dress, you literally cannot go wrong. I am sure jeans and a t-shirt are fine.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : So, date (?) aside, how's things?

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : ? is a good way to describe it. Good. I guess. Played League of Legends today. Had to rekey my mouse buttons and stuff to be able to play a little easier with the three-finger deal now.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : God, that's horrible. I'm so sorry about your hand. 😕 But I'm glad you were able to figure stuff out so you could play!

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Hey, don't be. I'm just happy I still have the damn arm you know? Next will be figuring out my console controller..., but at least that's mostly just thumbs. Lemme tell you. You don't realize how much you use your pointer and middle finger till you don't have it.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : That's quite the realization to make. I'd already think I use them quite a lot, but that's still probably less than I really do.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Yeah. Like, it really isn't world ending. It isn't. It's just kind of crazy to realize. Anyway. What're you doing sitting up in a tree stand?

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : I'm at work, but I warned them I had recently been in close association with people that had the flu from hell and volunteered to sit up here and... watch. You know, make sure the forest doesn't burn down, listen on the radio for anyone getting lost. That sort of stuff.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Flu from hell? I did hear about that. Also the Safeway seemed strangely low on chicken soup. Glad I don't associate with like, anyway. Last thing I'd want rn is a flu

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : Yeah, I'm pretty positive I'm in the clear, but I've been avoiding pretty much everyone for a few days now.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Sounds like a good idea - to be avoiding people. Did/Do Sparrow and Alfie have it?

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : They do not, last I heard. Which is a miracle, since they had the neighbors over for movie night (hence me quarantining myself), and everyone in the other house has it.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : That is a miracle. Damn lucky. You better not be one of those like, late bloomers and we all end up sick.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : I feel 110%, I promise.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Hold you to it. Okay. I'm going to tear apart my closet and see what I'm working with. Lemme know when the meeting is back on. I'll be there.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : Will do. Have fun on your date. 🙂 Leave the prom dress in the closet and you'll be fine, I promise.

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : No prom dress. Promise. You'll be hearing how it goes, one way or another.

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : Well, if it goes anything but swimmingly, I'll assume his first impression was incredibly misleading and he's actually a giant d-bag. 😃

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : That makes me feel better. I'll let you know. I'm sure it'll be fineeee

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : Me too! Judging by myself, you are an excellent judge of character. 😉

(TXT to Garrett) Kelsey : Thanks lol. I hope that things stay boring for you in the tree (and I say that in the most well meaning way possible)

(TXT to Kelsey) Garrett : Yeah, boredom aside, uneventful days are usually the goal.
