2020-02-12 - Rumors

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Hi Phil, you around? I heard that you did a terrible terrible thing

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : That sounds amazing.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : What did I do? 😃

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I heard that you went BLONDE???? Is this true, have you betrayed us?

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : IMG: Selfie of a decidedly blonde Sparrow with her hair fairly short and pushed back, all done up on a brighter day than this one wearing a black coat with her make-up done up in neutral shades. She appears to be at an airport, possibly.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Heartbreaking, TBH

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Looks good on you, though?

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Oh, yeah, you've got that conference thing, I hope I'm not distracting you from that

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : It is true. I am the worst ;P

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : But I'm home now. Just. No make-up. So. You get a pic from a few days ago.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Oh! Welcome home, then

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Thx

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Feels kinda like the whole world fell apart while I was away.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Nothing specific bad happened, I hope? Other than the steel gray sky over the town

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : My head's felt weird and fuzzy for the last day or so but I don't think that's quite what you mean

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Yeah. I don't know what I mean.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : But it was hard coming back 🙁

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : It was so bright and wonderful in Tempe 🙁

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I'm jealous! It feels like this winter is just dragging on forever.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : It dooooooes.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Makes me kinda wanna just drive south forever.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : NGL I love the snow but, like, this is getting silly

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Right? It was nice. For a while. But I'm kinda over it.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I'd certainly miss you if you drove away forever FWIW 😉

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Are you heading to the Pourhouse for the Karaoke thing? Not quite sure on your opinion on v day but I can't imagine that you're not busy with soooomeone

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Pretty sure I'd run out of gas before I even hit Cali, so you're stuck with me for a bit.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Yeah. Doing karaoke. Got a date. Which isn't to say I'm not gonna flirt with you if I see you, but. Not gonna be alone.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Don't think I'm gonna make it, shame though, I had a cute blouse and pencil skirt picked out in case of a repeat of amateur night 😉

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I, uh, can't hear a damn thing right now so I don't think karaoke is exactly the right choice

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Okay. So. First? WTF.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : What happened?

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : About to get super real for a bit here so uh don't freak out if I say something weird?

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Okay.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : You ever have one of those really vivid dreams? But you wake up and something that happened in the dream is.. still there?

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : I'm familiar with the phenomenon.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : It's happened to me a few times before, but this time there was this weird room with tarot cards.. apparently we had to do things to escape from it?

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : One part where this mermaid or.. something was calling to us, a friend of Itzhak did something to try to stop us but something happened to my inner ears

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Ears have been ringing since then, I woke up in the snow at Addington Park with a soaked phone and had to talk home

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : *walk home

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I don't know if you even know Itzhak, not important, but I haven't been able to hear a damn thing since then

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Doctor says it's temporary but it SUCKS

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Fuck.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Okay.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : 2 things.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : First, yeah, I know him.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Second. I dreamt about those cards too.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Except we had this hedge maze that left me scarred and there was this heart we had to put back together and it's all bullshit.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Really??? Huh

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : There were other people there that I didn't recognize but no hedge maze????

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : So whatever it was must have happened at least twice

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Depended on the cards you drew.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Which weren't actual tarot cards. Not traditional archetypes, anyway.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I only know a little bit of tarot stuff, there was one that kind of looked like the three of swords but nothing else looked familiar

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : I've been reading for a few years. Ours were definitely not normal.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : The art style seemed pretty close but Cameron never showed me anything like the others, I figured it was just something different

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : When it ended did everyone wake up together?

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Other times it's happened to me we were all together but I was the only one there when I woke up

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : idk if they're safe

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Right in my backyard, yeah.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Texted Itzhak. No reply yet.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Well fuck. I only just got another phone and that happened a couple of days ago or so now

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Lemme know if the ear thing doesn't get better, okay?

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Okay

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : TBH I'm more bummed about not seeing you up there on stage that about my ears not working if that makes any fucking sense

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Enjoying the world being quiet?

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : My BFF is deaf. Sometimes, it is very obvious he'd rather just not hear the rest of us at all 😆

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : How about we go out once you're hearing again?

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : lmao

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : It's nice being home from work but I'd rather be there making money to spend on booze and weed, you know?

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I'd love to spend time with you once I'm back in shape, yeah. Maybe I can return that favor one of these days.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Is that really where you spend your cash or are you trying to appeal to my wild child side?

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Like watching you squirm wasn't compensation enough 😉

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I work extra shifts to be able to afford that shit, keeps me busy when people aren't around

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : ahahaha now I'm all blushing and shit

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Good. You're cute when you blush.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : I mean. You're cute as a general rule, but.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : That's very rude and you're being very rude right now

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : What else do you like to do in your downtime?

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Yes. Terrible of me to tell you how cute you are. I'm the worst.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Kind of an even split between junk food, flirting with cute girls like you, and various unmentionables. Maybe some netflix too.

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Lately it's been a lot of work though, keeps my mind off of the darkness

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Where do you work?

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : The Grizzly, I take a lot of night shifts so my schedule can be kind of all over the place

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Oh cool. I haven't been there in... a while. The waffle place outside of town is just more convenient with school.

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : Know where to go after the bars close now though 😉

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Ooh, that makes sense. Come by sometime, I can hook you up with some noms. I make a killer cherry coke too!

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : I think I'm gonna try to have a nap, maybe if I'm lucky I'll wake up to trailer park gunfire

(TXT to Sparrow) Alison : Keep on kicking ass out there <3

(TXT to Alison) Sparrow : We'll go out soon, cutie. :kissing_heart:
