(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Hmm. You can bring one. Novelty. I will judge your choice. 🤔

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Weird question: you know a girl with tons of freckles, really skinny?

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : Isolde! she's a good person. friend from college.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Ah. It was you. Somehow this makes sense.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : waot. what did i do?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Nothing wrong. 🤣

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : oh. good. 🙂 i thought you two might get along.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : We'll see if she comes by the shop. Glad I got open for Xmas.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : Yes. 🙂 im glad you have your shop back. does it feel good?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Yes. Also because Sparrow is coming back to work for me. The gym job worries me.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : worries you?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Oh, uh... sorry, probably shouldn't have said that.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : (...)

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : tell me.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : (...)

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : I really don't think I should.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Like...

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : It's about the criminal stuff in town.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : yeah. i figured. you dont have to. but. be careful. cops are bought.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : but if you want to. i listenw ell.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : I learned some stuff about people that's really... worrisome. Kelly was one of them.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : yeah. have you shared it with anyone?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Um... Sparrow? And you.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : i dont know Sparrow well. dont tell anyone at the station. like i said, some of them arent safe.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Nothing is safe in this town, I'm learning.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : true. very true. im sorry.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : you want to meet sometime, talk about it?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Soon. I... think I need to talk to him about it.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : kelly?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Unrelated, how well do you know Easton Marshall?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Yes.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : Be careful, Mac.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : I'm always careful.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : Okay. Let me know if I can help. With anything.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Or at least, I know how to set up GPS tracking on myself and have a phone silently record and stream to the cloud.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Other than opening my store, I don't even know what I'm doing anymore, so... Yeah. I'll hit you up soon.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Scratch that. I also know I'm about to cross the Bering Strait. How's the African campaign?

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : Getting my ass kicked, but I think if I upgrade my military research, can overcome. why can't i library to victory?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Sorry, there was no way the Glorious Empire was letting you have the Porcelain Tower 😙

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : you're gonna win this. I will have my revenge. oh yes.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : you're ruthless. its fun.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : If I ever have a weakness gaming, it's that I always play to win. Some people find that boring.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : y? games should be played to win. u should play board gms with isabella. she goes for the throat. its fun.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Maybe you two can come to the shop and show me some. Since I carry them now >.>; That's been mostly blind research and Kyle's doing.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : id like that. y play video and not board?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : I don't have a lot of analog friends?

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : makes sense. i dont either. more now tho. including you. 🙂 🙂

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : I've run into a lot of people that say you're a friend. I don't think you get off saying that.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : thats new. really new. most people find me creepy. because i am. kinda creepy. sorry.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : 🤔I mean, at first, sure, but like... It's more like Aspergers, I guess? Like the red shirt dude at Blizzcon. It's like you learned things other than how to deal with people instinctively.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : But that's my armchair psychology. I'm sure Maggi would brain me for that assessment.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : i dont know who that is. red shirt dude. but I dont have Aspergers. or autism. im just really bad at people. getting better. sometimes.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Let me treat you to some premium classic meme shit: https://youtu.be/-GJ7eueZ1wY

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : he knows a lot about that game. he must really enjoy it.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Oh, absolutely. He schooled the actual devs on their own plot hole. Iconic. They then made him an NPC.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : im still mildly traumatized by rl/in game crossovers, but as long as he wasnt murdered thats cool.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : 🤣🤣🤣 That shit was so lit, tho!

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : its still a good game. i still play. i cant give up my evil shadow sheep.

(TXT to Abitha) Alexander : meds kicking. gonna sleep. dont die.

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Wait, what? Meds? WTF?!

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : Alexander?

(TXT to Alexander) Abitha : You better text me in the morning goddammit.
