late 3/12

[oorah]

[ he knows she was there in town hall. everyone was, but they both knew kevin would be out and about for arrival day. he knows jess has been keeping tabs on him on and off today because of it, and he hopes she was a witness otherwise she might doubt what he has to tell her. ]

did you see?

[underachievement]

I saw.

[ messaging him right away would have been suspect, considering Kev's eyes stuck to her like bug guts to a windshield. she still feels watched, as impossible as that is, and she's only expecting bad news. ]

[oorah]

[ it's hard not to be excited. or maybe that's not a good enough word. elated. that's closer. ] it worked, jess.

[underachievement]

[ hard is an understatement ]

He told you to let go?

[oorah]

[ phrasing ] yeah
but i didn't have to
i could've snapped his neck

[underachievement]

[ he's not the only one who resisted that urge today ]

Let's give it a full 24 hours

[oorah]

OK
you're right you're right
but i think it really worked

did he talk to you today?

[underachievement]

[ yeah but who cares about that when ]

He talked to my sister

[oorah]

your sister?

[underachievement]

Trish Walker [ this is where she usually inserts the adoptive part but whoo caares ]
She just arrived

1/2

[oorah]

oh yeah
trish talk
i saw her in the reset room

[oorah]

[ oh... well. this ship is sailing without him. goodbye, ship. ]

i didn't know she was your sister. is she ok?

[underachievement]

If she's not, he told her to lie about it
I'm keeping an eye on her until the clock runs out

[oorah]

ok good
micro is sitting on me until then too

[underachievement]

If this doesn't work I'm screwed

[oorah]

no you're not
it's going to be ok
and hey worst case scenario we kill him again
not such a bad backup plan right?

[underachievement]

Killing nothing
If he puts a hand on her again I'm ripping his goddamn tongue out

[oorah]

good.
he deserves much worse

[underachievement]

[ man their vibes are not meshing. Jess can't say anything nice, which brings her attention to something she breezed right past a moment ago ]

NVM
You know Trish talk?

[oorah]

[ he just wants her to get her vindication at last oKAY ]

yeah i've listened a few times

[underachievement]

[ the following is a bit of a leap iiiif you exclude all the other evidence ]

You're from New York

[oorah]

i meant to tell you
in a way that wasn't this [ he was going to say 'in a text message' but well u kno :') ]

[underachievement]

[ she's mad but she's too tired and high strung to anchor herself to it, as much as she'd like to ]

I don't care

[oorah]

that's fair
for a while i thought you already knew
and then [ he doesn't mean to send this part. and then he didn't want anything to change between them. ]

[underachievement]

Good apology
B/B- [ no for real its terrible ]
