( natsuno this clears up approximately nothing and what's happened to your usual perfect capitalization and name spelling??? )

Right. Okay so. You're playing a game where I'm a lion, Pal's a monkey, and there's lava. Sounds fun. You're welcome for the... fake rescue.

Is the real you okay?

[neverleave]

yes

i'm the real me

[skaikru]

( oh sweet mother of barbatos. )

Natsuno. ( BABY! ) Did you hit your head during the game?

[neverleave]

no
why are you asking

oh

i should"VE explained

the game isn't real. you make choices ny answering questions

[skaikru]

Yeah, no, I got that bit when you said you got to name a lion. But thanks for explaining, can you also explain why you're texting like you've just left a Steve Harrington Tauva party?

[neverleave]

[First who is Steve and second, what?]

i wasn't in tauva
or at a party

[skaikru]

Then where are you. Were you?

And what else did you do besides play a game about lava and choices?

[neverleave]

wait
you think im drunk or
high?
i am not because i can't
physically

[skaikru]

No, of course not, obviously.

( ... )

But, "palameedes"?

Is the ground tilting when you walk? Be honest.

[neverleave]

[The response is delayed, because Natsuno had to get up and move to a different table to check, and he had to concentrate to walk in a straight line.]

maybe a little
but we're on a ship

[skaikru]

We've been on a ship for more than eight months, we'd have acclimated to sea legs a while ago.

Do you feel... nice? And fuzzy? Maybe even a little happy?

[neverleave]

yes
warm too
how did you know?

[skaikru]

Because I've gotten drunk before.

( damn, that must be some wine. and... honestly? good for him. he deserves to feel nice, fuzzy, warm and happy. )

You good? Do you need adult supervision?

[neverleave]

no
for superivisn, yes to food
goid
good

anyway im not drunk because shiki cant
i think it s because
your'e my best friend
so you know

[skaikru]

You feel happy and fuzzy right now

( and warm and can't walk straight or spell right )

because I'm your best friend?

[neverleave]

i meant you know im happy and fuzzzzy because youre my best friend

but

i'm also happy youre my best friend
not fizzy though
like you said
chocolate cake standaet

[skaikru]

I'll take that too. Chocolate cake standard.

( why is her previous humiliation coming back to hit a lil close to the feels? it's weird. clarke has no complaints. )

Since we're best friends, can you do me a few favors?

[neverleave]

also mashed potato with cheese standard
and curry

favors sure

[skaikru]

Of course, how could I forget the cheese. That's still top three meals of my life.

Favors: stay away from deck railings tonight. Drink a full bottle of water and take like, four Ibuprofen before you pass out. Eat something right now. Don't go near the pool or hot tub. Don't touch any knives or guns. Don't go to the Bridge. Just, blanket request, don't do anything I'd do.

And last but not least... Enjoy yourself.

1/2

[neverleave]

[That's a lot of favors and no line breaks, so Natsuno re-reads it multiple times until he thinks he got it. Everything seems reasonable except the part about not touching knives, but if Clarke's asking...]

👍

2/3 i lied

[neverleave]

[20 minutes later:]

i ate
enjoying myself

3/3

[neverleave]

[After another 30 minutes:]

i got it
the facors thing
youre worried about me
that's really nice of you
youre a good best friend

[skaikru]

( it took you almost an HOUR to figure out? buddy...

but also aaaaw, buddy! )

Well, for you I try. Of course I'm worried about you.

( after everything that happened last month? after everything that's happened ever? )

But I'm glad you're having a good time. You deserve to relax and get out of your head for a bit.

[neverleave]
