(TXT to Isabella) August : so. gnomes are a thing now.
(TXT to August) Isabella : ...what?
(TXT to August) Isabella : sorry Auggie. kind of drunk. don't know if reading this correctly.
(TXT to Isabella) August : remember how I was trying out some grafting experiments Over There in the forest?
(TXT to Isabella) August : went with enzo and niall to check out the results. found ourselves being assaulted by arbivorous gnomes
(TXT to August) Isabella : ...still dont know if reading this correctly. ok. ok. let me think.
(TXT to August) Isabella : not sure if youre telling me gnomes were poking at your experiments or your experiments created gnomes. clarify pls.
(TXT to Isabella) August : not sure if I caused them to show up or if it's coincidence. I'll spare you the details since you're drunk. in the mean time don't cross over in firefly, or if you do, be prepared to parlay
(TXT to Isabella) August : I can explain in detail when you sober up and see this. why are we drunk, for a good time or to forget a bad one
(TXT to August) Isabella : i just dont want to feel for a little while. dont cross over in the cemetery either. ill explain when i see you next. yule too. we need to talk about your tests.
(TXT to August) Isabella : wait are you drunk also? yay. im not the only one.
(TXT to Isabella) August : in the interest of full disclosure, no, I'm not drunk, but I don't mind commiserating. and shit, sorry, I meant to look into the cemetery like you asked. I guess it was bad?
(TXT to Isabella) August : I have a fairly big set of results to go over with yule, yes. we should get everyone's results shared out, so we can do the experiments in a more focused manner.
(TXT to August) Isabella : no it wasnt your fault, it was a thing. ill explain when im more sober because clarity is necessary for that entire enterprise. well grab yule and meet at the cabins. hes your neighbor, i think he told you, just easier if we all went to your place or his. sounds good?
(TXT to Isabella) August : sounds good. but listen, it's okay if you need to not think about it a while. tell us when you feel up to it. the fact that we've saddled ourselves with this crazy undertaking doesn't mean knowledge is more important than your well-being. ok?
(TXT to August) Isabella : thanks auggie but i need this. so lets pick a day this week ok? i need to work.
(TXT to August) Isabella : i need to feel like...i need not to feel like a failure at something important. for a change.
(TXT to Isabella) August : understood. but you're not a failure at important things, so you can tell whatever's worked its way inside you and is convincing you of that to fuck off. you're doing your defense, you're an accomplished academic, you got a man who loves you. that's not failing.
(TXT to Isabella) August : just let me know when and I'll swing by or be here for you all to show up, as you prefer.
(TXT to August) Isabella : ((a very long, long, long, long pause))
(TXT to August) Isabella : okay. lets try and meet up at ((date, time, location)). ill drop yule a line. thanks auggie, im serious. ill be sober and ready when you see me next, promise.
(TXT to Isabella) August : sober and ready can be overrated. but you do you.
(TXT to August) Isabella : ha ha. gonna have to be if you guys want me a properly contributing member of this brain trust.
(TXT to August) Isabella : anyway thanks. ill see you then. goodnight augs.
