2020-05-10 - Baking and Broken Alices

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : Met Megan. Isabella took her deal.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : Fuck. what the fuck. Why?

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : It's Isabella, Javier. She sticks her hand in holes, she punches buttons. It's what she DOES.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : I'm going to fucking kill her. Fuck's sake. where is she now? What did Megan have to say to you?

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : I will take you apart if you try. Even if I'm sympathetic. Megan didn't have much to say to me. She stabbed me with invisible needles and made me live her feelings about me killing her friend. But it wasn't really a conversation.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : It was a fucking figure of speech, you know I'm not going to hurt her. You also know I'd fight you every inch of the way, if you come for me.

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : I know you would. I'm sorry. I just. I wanted to stop her, but I couldn't. I don't do that anymore, and I wouldn't to her. Anyway.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : Look, is Isabella all right? is she.. well, like Cavanaugh?

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : Yeah. Dimmed. But she says she remembers. Megan did say that people should recover. With purpose.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : I told Roen that we need to get a few of us together and share notes on this shit

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : Yes. But you can't be coppish about Alice. Or she'll hurt you.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : What do you mean, coppish

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : Alice is.

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : Broken.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : Broken how. and that still doesn't answer my question.

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : Not over text. Just very broken.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : Fine. I uh. do you need anything? Does Isabella?

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : No. But thanks. Unless you have churros. I like churros, and Isabella will complain about the carbs, but she likes them to.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : Lying around? no. But I can make some, bring them by.

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : You don't have to. I'm sure you're busy. 🙂 And I would worry a bit if you just had them lying around. Or be impressed. Do you stress bake? Some people stress bake.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : I do not stress bake. I prefer guns. and I am busy, and I don't have to. I'll be about an hour. Where am I going?

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : Stress baking seems less likely to end in gunshots. We're at my place.

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : that's exactly the problem with it.

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : ::frowny face emoji::

(TXT to Alexander) Ruiz : See you in an hour.

(TXT to Ruiz) Alexander : All right. Thank you.
