2021-09-16 - Wait...what?

(TXT to Ravn) Kailey : WHAT. THE. FUCK!?!?!

(TXT to Kailey) Ravn : The heck did Woods tell you now? Remember, if I actually did it to you, you'd remember me doing it!

(TXT to Ravn) Kailey : Wait, what?? What do -you- remember happening?

(TXT to Kailey) Ravn : Uh.

(TXT to Kailey) Ravn : :Selfie of remarkably sleep puffed face.:

(TXT to Kailey) Ravn : Not a lot? I just woke up. Because somebody texted me.

(TXT to Ravn) Kailey : Dude. Look at the date on your phone.

(TXT to Kailey) Ravn : ... The fuck. Gray Harbor's being Gray Harbor again, is it?

(TXT to Ravn) Kailey : Apparently. IT MADE ME MISS MEW'S FIRST BIRTHDAY! At least...I think...sorry I woke you but, like, you're my WTF text buddy.

(TXT to Kailey) Ravn : Bloody hell. WHAT ABOUT MY CAT.

(TXT to Ravn) Kailey : Uhhhh, what about her? Isn't she with you? I woke up to Flerken purring on my chest.

(TXT to Kailey) Ravn : I put her and the boat with somebody to look after before the storm hit. God, they must think I've abandoned both.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : And the new person! Heavens! New person, are you all right? Welcome to Gray Harbor, where nothing is fucking sane for ten minutes.

(TXT to ) Tanasha : Yes, I am fine. Why wouldn't I be? I mean, the storm is over... Sorry, I just woke up. Working all night!

(TXT to Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Is there a bug around dates? I think my phone is playing up.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : Just woke up myself BECAUSE SOMEBODY TEXTED ME. Apparently... it's either Gray Harbor or all three phones. We're in Gray Harbor, I know what I am looking at first.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : I'm still catching up here. What do you mean it is Gray Harbour? A local bug on phone software? What? Getting coffee.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : I mean I'm daring either of you to open the TV and check the date. Or call someone in any other town and ask about the date. Hang on, texting my cousin in Copenhagen.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Four phones and my tablet cause they're all showing Setpember. And...yeah...youtube too! WTF?

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : And...apparently I did a spray can comparison tutorial I don't even remember doing last month...huh...

(TXT to Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : This makes no sense. I need coffee. Where is good to get coffee? I have emails from clients about work I have never heard of! What the shit?!

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : I went to bed in the hurricane shelter. I'm... I actually have no fucking idea where I am. I should be worried about this, shouldn't I?

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Well, everywhere WAS closed for the storm...

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : Espresso Yourself's usually pretty good. Except for me, but that's my own fault for picking a fight with the day manager.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : It's just cause you like your coffee pure

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : Oh bloody hell. I am in a room I don't recognise, my cousin in Copenhagen just asked what drugs I'm on, and I was supposed to go on a date two months ago. I'm dead.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : In good news, I do seem to have underpants.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Pants is a plus. And a date? With WHO?!?

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Yes I am far more interested in your love life than the fact I'm missing a month plus. Cause right now all I can do is toke and try not to freak the fuck out.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : I'm in... place I don't recognise. Like a house. My stuff is here. You have a date?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : Sep 16

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : ... Wait, that's not what you meant.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Uh, no it isn't. Dork.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Who finally managed to get you to say yes to a date? Besides me that is.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : ... I should have kept my mouth shut. I have had a vague agreement to 'go have crabs sometime' with someone. Since... February? You know this town. Something always comes up.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : SEPTEMBER? WHAT EVEN. AFK bin on fire

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : But that's also all it is, except now she's going to think I ghosted her for sure.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : ... 12 fucking weeks.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Oh geez. Wow. Yeah when you put it like that. Why did the Veil take 3 months?

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Ravn...I don't think you need to worry about your cat.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : ... This is me not asking.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : ... This is me asking. What did our cat/s do this time?

(TXT to Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Maybe they caused this. Have put fire out, got burnt coffee. Whose house is this?!

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Currently demanding salmon or tuna. Right MEOW.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : Oh. By the way. Too much blood in my coffee. Mild case of panic. Still not sure this shirt is mine. Tanasha, meet Kailey. Tanasha's new in town. Kailey works in a sweets shop on the Harbourfront.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : ... That does sound like Kitty Pryde. Please don't end up dead in a dumpster.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Sweets! Sugar! I need sugar. Either I own a motorbike or someone left one here... WHERE AM I?

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Hi Tanasha. I sorta work there? I mostly just do PR and sell art during summer outside.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : ... I wanted to go buy a motorbike.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : I honestly have no idea where this is. Peeking out a window, I think I may be at the Murder Motel.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Be a few minutes...Uncat is also demanding salmon and I better go check the fridge and hope...

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha) Ravn : Never argue with a Veil cat the size of a pony.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Eh...miniature pony maybe.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Let's add to the communal confusion. Because I just realised something. Yo, Aidan, is your van parked outside a .. house I think?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : AIDAN! Dude! We lost time. THE FUCK?!?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Who is Aidan? I think someone is upstairs!

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Aidan's my friend who owns the van that seems to parked outside the window of the ... wherever the hell I am. Also probably the owner of this pink shirt.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... It's got little puppy prints on.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : You're wearing a pink shirt?!? Yeah...probably his.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Well, I'm wearing it now. I have to wear something. And no, I am not sending you a picture.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : Okay. Freezer was still full from that trip we took. Thankfully. Uncat apparently likes fish popsicles cause she took the hunk I was going to thaw and disappeared into the backyard.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : I was gonna ask for a picture. Damn.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i think my van is in the carport. i hope. i mean the storm was pretty big but

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : hold up

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : ...

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : It's September, Aidan.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : okay i was just trying to figure out who i went home with or something because this is definitely not my trailer but i think this is my stuff?

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : wait september?

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : like the month?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : Yup.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : You too? I have no idea where I am. Kind of afraid to leave this room.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : also there's a name i don't know on this, hi.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : I, at least, am at home. Though the living room was rearranged. We got an area rug and there's this epic castle doll house in the corner! Where the hell did that come from?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Aidan, Tanasha. Aidan's my mate, Tanasha's a new person arrived in Gray Harbor juuuust in time to take a supernatural storm to the face like the rest of us.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i'm gonna... leave the room and see what i see. i mean if it's september we probably won't drown. and this closet is definitely my stuff, so that's weird too?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Aidan, another 12 weeks passed without crab dates. I am dead, aren't I? Maybe I should just stay in this mysterious bedroom.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i dunno, man, maybe it's september for her too and she's worried you think she stood you up? hi, tanasha, welcome to gray harbor. i'd say it's not usually like this but it's kinda like this. sometimes.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : hey kailey can i see your castle?

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : :sends a picture, < https://www.castlefarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/small-Entire-Castle-dollhouse.jpg >

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : It's a very nice bedroom. And that's a very nice doll house.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I feel like I should put on more than this shirt and go explore but the only thing I actually want right now is a bottle of scotch.

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : Right? There's even this tiny little owl outside a window!

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : dude are you wearing just a shirt?

(TXT to Ravn Tanasha Aidan) Kailey : A pink shirt, apparently. And he won't share a picture!

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i didn't know he owned a pink shirt

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Pink is nice. I checked, there isn't anyone upstairs, but I can hear someone downstairs now! Am I dreaming? Is this some weird storm induced nightmare?

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : maybe you have a really shy ghost?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : Me either!

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : You sure you're not in an apartment? OH! Maybe you have a roomate now.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I'm pretty sure this is not my shirt. And I'm pretty sure that if I want to wear more than this shirt I need to leave the bed. And I don't feel like leaving the bed just yet.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Ok. Right. I can cope with September and fires before coffee but now this is ...Nope. Nope. If I don't reply again, the ghost/flatmate/axe murderer downstairs killed me

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : Don't die.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : okay so this house looks kind of awesome and also that wall there kinda looks like i painted it but i don't remember doing that

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : yeah, don't die. i'm gonna knock on this door here.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : ps that dollhouse is awesome, k

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Fuck, someone's here.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : Uhh...okay. Uncat just came back in...ummm...

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : She said the person you chose to look after her sucked and only fed her dry kibble. And he is lucky she didn't shred and pee on more of their clean clothes?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Nobody here. I have a creepy house with a ghost. Nice dollhouse! Is it haunted too? <adds picture of coffee with kitchen bin with burnt things in it>

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : It hought you said you were at the motel, Ravn?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : The dollhouse is cool...and sadly it could be haunted. I certainly don't remember buying it.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I said I thought I was at the motel... But don't motel rooms typically have, I dunno, a TV or something?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Somebody's knocking on my door. Help.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : Yeah. TV, dresser, table or desk with a chair...uhhh...ask who it is dude.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... Maybe if I'm real quiet they'll go away.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Put your trousers on!

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : no one's answering. gonna see if it opens! no wait hold up, lemme check first....

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I don't know where the hell my pants ARE!

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : NO PANTS DANCE!

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : I always approve of answering the unwanted door knock either partially or fully nude. Disuades the person from knocking without calling again.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... Yes, well, I did that once in a hostel in Berlin, and it took me three hours to convince the guy I'm not actually gay.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : ...hey ravn p sure i know who's at your door. also i promise not to look if you're feeling modest or whatever.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... It IS your van outside?

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i mean i haven't seen outside yet but i'm like 96.7% sure it's you in this room

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : HAHAHAHAHA!

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : feels like your mind 🧠

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : ...feels like their mind? WHAT?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : .. Hi. So, apparently I'm in Aidan's bedroom, wearing Aidan's pink shirt with puppies on, and I really want to see the person in charge of the Veil now.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : nah i'm pretty sure i was in my bedroom? i mean it's not my trailer but my crap was there

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Kailey : Did you guys move in together?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I know we've talked about it...

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i mean

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Can I go full Karen on some veil entity anyway?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Ahem...I have been texting myself like a dumbass. Pardon. Sounds like you guys moved in together while memory was absentee.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i guess if it's been three months and it's gonna be winter soon that kinda makes sense? because boat.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : It does make sense, I just... I mean, for fuck's sake, I don't even know my own address now?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : OK. I have been doing work since the storm. I have papers saying I bought this place and I'm trying to find a builder. I bought a bike. I guess that is ...not terrible.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : so far it looks like we've got kinda badass taste

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : One mystery sort of solve. And, uh, yeah Tanasha. Aidan's an empath like me.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : oh yeah sorry. i did the thing where i kinda check for minds. also we got squirrels in the attic apparently? but no mice or anything so that's good.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : seriously no shit september tho?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Empaths. Right. Excuse me while I have a moment. Just... a little much. I'm going to sit in what might be my garden.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : oh shit i hope baylee's not pissed if we haven't talked in three months. or we did and i forgot it all, shit.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Apparently!

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT HYACINTH

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : that might be awkward

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : YOU WERE GONNA HAVE CRABS WITH HYACINTH?!?!?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Duuuuuude...

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : yeah but she's here! so probably the same thing happened to her, right?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : WHAT IS WRONG WITH EATING CRABS WITH HYACINTH? ALSO WHY ARE WE SHOUTING? I AM NOT IN A PANIC

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : nothing's wrong with it. i'd eat crabs with hyacinth. i dunno her really but crabs are tasty.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Because I hit the caps thingy and didn't noticed.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : He called it a date!

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : It's a date to eat crabs!

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : honestly p much the best combination for the words date and crabs

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... Except it isn't because we have talked about it since April and we never set an actual date date, as in, the calendar thing.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... Now picturing you dating a crab, not going to lie.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Okay. I will wrap my brain around that later.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Now picturing Aidan and crab wrapped in brain, and I think I might be slightly hysterical over here.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i guess if it had kinda human intelligence and all i wouldn't no hold on i don't wanna be wrapped in brain

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : UGH. My phone keeps saying it can't send a message to Ev! But it's sending ot you guys juuuust fine.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : so

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : La

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : basically we all kinda had a three month blackout? it seems like?

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : ti!

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... Still need to get revenge on him for telling 250 people that you and I are dating, Kailey.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : DOH!

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Heh. Well, it is a good way to keep you off the market if you wanna be?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I'm just going to sit here in Aidan's shirt and rock gently back and forth.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : hey fwiw at least it looks p good on you

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : I need to find my partner and my kid. Not exactly in that order...

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Yes, thank you for not being a midget.

(TXT to Aidan) Kailey : I wanna see him in a pink shirt! PLEASE take a sneaky pic for me?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : So what now? I mean, who contacts someone outside of this town first?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I texted my cousin in Copenhagen. He asked me what drugs I'm on, and when I'm coming home from the States.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : You said you're not, right?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Why would I be going home? I like it here. Most of the time.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : That doesn't mean they stop asking.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Tell him you got hand-fasted to a crazy cat lady and are going to raise your eight babies on the boat together.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : And I'll be sending him pictures from the baby shower for Calico, Blue, Tuxedo, Cream, Van, Persian, and Tortie?

(TXT to Kailey) Aidan : id kinda feel like a dick sending pics around if he doesnt want people to see, you know? ..lemme see.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : HOLY SHIT! Someone went overboard on the chocolate cereal shopping! < A picture of a walk-in pantry and three shelves filled with cocoa puffs, chocolate rice crispers, chocolate cheerios, and the like. >

(TXT to Aidan) Kailey : Lesigh. I know...but I had to ask! LOL

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : oh dude that's awesome! you're so set for breakfasts. also lunch. some dinners.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : So...find our your guys' address so I can drop Kitty Pryde off?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Find out. Stupid thumbs.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... Yellow paging myself ...

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : so now i'm wondering why we set all this up and we're here and all but we didnt' already pick up kitty pryde.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : hey. do you think maybe we got revised again?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Well...I don't think she was exactly staying with me...uhh...Uncat came in soon as I woke up and dropped her on the foot on my bed like a kitten. Said she was done looking after herself and it was my turn. Also that they needed fish. NOW.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : k well i'm glad you had fish then!

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Me too. I think Uncat was taking care of her? Either way, she's now in my lap and purring. Though when I try to pet her she growls. Is this normal, Ravn?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Please, no more revisions. I have grown used to being Lobster Fight League guy.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : ... Her even being in your lap means she likes you. She's not very touchy-feely.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Gotcha. Oh, hey, she likes chin scritches. I think it's cause I gave her salmon.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : Tell me to calm down guys cause I'm about to blow. Mew isn't anywhere nearby and neither is Everett. Just me and the animals at home. And my phone won't send messages to Ev's!

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : OK, there has to be some kind of logical explanation for this.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : And calls just going to voicemail after several rings. AUGH. And I have this very happy cat on my lap so I can't even pace.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : We somehow time shifted. And maybe not all of us synchronously.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : He might be out looking for YOU?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : That's true. Possible. He could have woken up somewhere different. Bean too. Also...these cats are staring at me. <picture of Flerken and Kitty laying in loafish form side by side> I think they like each other.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : So we're not dating each other, but our cats are. Check.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : k, take a breath and go for chill. i mean we've only been up like. a little bit, right? they could be at the park or something. and maybe he left his phone there somewhere

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : It is all going to be alright. Absolutely. I mean, who knows where people came round?

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : I mean, if you wanna date I won't say no. 😆

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Christ, Tanasha, and there we were -- twelve weeks ago -- in the cafeteria, and you thought I was just the local nut job.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Tanasha) Kailey : You're right Aidan. It's fine. I'll stay in one place and just keep trying his phone. He sometimes lets it die. That's probably what happened...

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : What makes you think I don't still think that?! 😃

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I'm really not -- I mean, I appreciate the offer of help, I really do, but I'm actually not having my door knocked down by hordes of single, desperate women, you know? Apparently I just get Aidan.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Not that he's not cute, but he's got a girlfriend.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i mean given the time shift and depending what exactly happens it's gotta be possible he didn't charge it for three months

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : Aidan is a total cutey. I'd date him too.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Communal crab dates?

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : well i mean technically we're kinda semi-openish? but i'm pretty sure i'm not your type. ha, thx, kailey.

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : Anytime hot stuff!

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Gonna be honest if gentle and say, uh, too much male, yes.

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : Oh my stars...I have no filter. My filter is gone.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I think we usually call this 'mild case of panic'

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I'd run around this room screaming if I was not wearing only Aidan's shirt.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i'm still down for crabs tho

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : We definitely should do crabs. If Ravn gets his boat back we could even go crabbing for our own!

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i mean if you want i can go explore the rest of this place and give you some panic privacy

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Can go explore it together in a bit when my pulse comes back down this side of 300?

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : And, assuming I still HAVE a boat because I put it on someone's lawn and forgot about it for THREE MONTHS -- I'm totally up for this.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : works for me. also if you don't find your pants in here that's weird but i got stuff that oughta pretty much fit you

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Well, we are the same height. Just, let me guess, you don't own a single piece of clothing that's just black.

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : Tanasha, not to leave you out of the 'I'd date you' pool, but I haven't even met you. You seem cool though. Let's do drinks. All of us. Later at the Pourhouse when our panic has subsided?

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : nah i got stuff in black! i mean okay mostly not just black but there's some

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : drinks sounds like the best idea

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : I am also on board with this plan. I need to see if HOPE is still there, and it's just across the street from the Pourhouse anyway.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Drinks sound really good.

(TXT to Aidan) Kailey : I would SO date that boy omg. Ev is actually teasing ME saying we're dating cause I told him I have something of a crush on Ravn. 😛

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : Poorhouse. Drinks. Crabs. All things that need to happen.

(TXT to Kailey Tanasha Aidan) Ravn : We make plans for when I have found some pants and explored this house hand in hand with Aidan?

(TXT to Kailey) Aidan : ngl, i prolly would too. date him, i mean, not tease you about it. y'know, if i was single and he liked dudes.

(TXT to Ravn) Kailey : RIGHT? He's so hot.

(TXT to Ravn) Kailey : FUCK! IGNORE THAT!

(TXT to Kailey) Ravn : He is, but, well, not REALLY into guys, and he DOES have a girlfriend you know?

(TXT to Aidan) Kailey : I totally did not text him by accident that he was hot Nope.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i am on baord with all these plans. dude maybe we have three shelves of chocolate cereal down there too!

(TXT to Ravn) Kailey : Heh. RIGHT. Yep.

(TXT to Kailey) Aidan : oh shit did you? i mean of course you didn't, nope

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : Right. First we sort ourselves out. Then, crab fishing trip, but before that, lots of whiskey at the Pourhouse.

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : All right. We all shall gather our collective shit then meet for drinks at the Pourhouse. I'll text you guys in a few hours when we are all more calm.

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : And I have PANTS.

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : ALL HAIL THE PANTS!

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : p sure the pourhouse won't let us in if we don't all have pants

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : It says shoes and shirt required...I don't think the sign says pants.

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : Do YOU want to see Magpie Gyre's face if we all turn up in literally shoes and shirts?

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : .... Now I actually kind of do.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i know but if you try that most places call the cops

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : Dude, I'd pay money to see you show up anywhere in just that.

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : SO HISTORICALLY night shirts went to the ankles, hi, resident historian speaking.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : oh that you could get away with.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Pourhouse. Right. Let me gather my thoughts.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : jsut everyone's gonna think it's a dress

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : Sorry we're being weird, Tanasha. This town -- you either go a bit crazy or you get out. Or both.

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : I kind of dig the tunic look on a guy tbh

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : That mildly hysterical undertone of laughter, it's a coping mechanism.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : i got some cool kaftan kinda things

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : We are a weird bunch. But ya gotta be in this weird city. Also don't be surprised if animals talk or your picket fence gets up and decides to move to a better lawn.

(TXT to Aidan Ravn Kailey) Tanasha : Coping is all we've got today...

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : Ain't that the truth.

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : Aidan, get off the blanket. I need to see if my pants are under it.

(TXT to Tanasha Aidan Ravn) Kailey : At least I didn't run out of weed! OH! My text went through. Talk at ya all later.

(TXT to Kailey Aidan Tanasha) Ravn : GOOD.

(TXT to Ravn Kailey Tanasha) Aidan : catch you all later. with drinks.
