text, @TARANTO, day 2 of the cave in

[heavyhitter]

[ it might take a while for this whole post to load on the bling comm, what with the awful reception going around, but it'll pop up eventually: ]

hey do you guys wanna hear the saddest story in the world? of course you do

so i was down here, you know, trapped and bored, and fucking around on my cell even though that's maybe not my best idea ever because there's sure as hell no solar recharge down here and what else am i gonna do for light, make a torch (hell no)
anyway point is i just noticed it's my fucking birthday today back home
so this is probably the shittiest birthday yet
i just wanted to make you guys all aware of how bad you should be feeling for me. as soon as i punch my way out of here i'll start accepting pity/condolence/regular birthday presents, so have them ready

Comments

i will pretend it's fresh as a daisy

[heavyhitter]

hell yeah we are, in the training room

ur a pal

[twinpeak]

Wait, why in there?

[heavyhitter]

omg why WOULDN'T i do it in the place you can turn into a fake wherever you want

[twinpeak]

Really?

I mean point taken, I just assumed that place was meant for more punching things than partying.

[heavyhitter]

MEANT for sure but i don't see any signs that say must punch this many times to make use of room

[heavyhitter]

or wouldn't see i guess
if i was there

whatever you get me

[twinpeak]

Totally get you! Then barring any unwritten rules we've been oblivious to this whole time, a birthday party in a simulated room actually sounds pretty awesome. I'm jealous I didn't think of it first.

Got any ideas for it yet?

[heavyhitter]

hell yeah, focolare

[twinpeak]

aaaand you lost me.

[heavyhitter]

that's my planet
have i seriously never mentioned that

[twinpeak]

uh

DEFINITELY not, you look normal enough to be from earth!

[heavyhitter]

wow thanks that's so nice of you
focolare's one of earth's settled planets

[twinpeak]

Oh, now I get it. Is this some future thing where humans left earth in search of other planets to settle on?

[heavyhitter]

yeah i mean obviously, we weren't gonna stay there forever. resources and space and shit, right?

[twinpeak]

Theoretically, yeah. It's still pretty impossible in the year I'm from though, so it's all TV stuff right now. But it's still neat to think about.

[heavyhitter]

"theoretically" yeah alright
whatever, point is focolare's great and i'll think up something from there

[twinpeak]

Hey, I believe you! What's it like there?

[heavyhitter]

swampy

[twinpeak]

You get to live on a different planet and that's all you have to say about it.

[heavyhitter]

come on describing home is hard
you do yours

[twinpeak]

Maybe you have a point, home home for me is nice, but ultimately kind of boring. But Mabel and I were spending our summer vacation in Gravity Falls, which is infinitely cooler to talk about.

[heavyhitter]

yeah well i was in nyc and that's pretty easy too, but that's not what i was challenging you to
but whatever give me gravity falls instead then

[twinpeak]

It's basically a second home at this point! It counts, okay.

At first glance it looks like another boring small town in the middle of nowhere, but in actuality it's like some weird magnet for the paranormal and other anomalies, which already makes it way cooler than nearly everywhere else.

[heavyhitter]

oh shit yeah? man you must have been prepared for alastair
did you have ghosts

[twinpeak]

Oh, you bet. I'm basically a ghost expert now.
