Is it really so hard to use proper grammar and punctuation? Come on.

How are you doing on food?

[outlines]

I should be good until Monday or Tuesday. I think Dodge is getting kind of low, though.

[frats]

Good. I'm coming over to eat all your food.
I'll bring dog food.

[outlines]

I take it back, I have no food. Zero food.

[frats]

Huh. Guess you and your brother will just starve.
Still coming over to hang out with your dog because we know the real reason I put up with you.

[outlines]

Dodge isn't accepting visitors who let their best friends starve. Sorry man, that sucks.

[frats]

Lying to sour our friendship won't get you any food. It might get all your furniture moved an inch to the left though.

Dodge loves me.

[viscous]

hey, i still want to read your natal chart to you. can we do that soon?
also, i have a gift.

[outlines]

Yeah, absolutely. Whenever you want. I don't have a whole lot going on.

You're going to have to be a little more specific about this gift thing.

[viscous]

you don't? and i thought your life kept you on the tip of your toes.

it's a surprise. so i can't say, but it's nice. you should try and keep it on you at all times.

[outlines]

Oh yeah, super thrilling.

Okay. Can it fit in my pocket? Or is this something I'm going to have to actually try to keep track of?

[ he says, as if he isn't somewhat obsessive when it comes to keeping track of his things. ]

[viscous]

it can definitely fit into your pocket.
or even could be made to hang from Dodge's collar.

[outlines]

You're killing me, Ives. If I was a cat, I'd be dead.

Double dips and kisses ur hands

[ophthalmic]

Hey Arm Candy. How's it going?
You know where Noodles is?
It's important.

Life or death.

oh bless

[outlines]

Life or death as in his life or yours?

[ophthalmic]

Whichever gets you to text him asking him where he is without mentioning my name faster.

[outlines]

If it's your life on the line, you're probably better off asking the blind man for help instead of the brutish one, I'm just saying.

If it's his? Well, I get dibs on his phone and his most comfortable pair of shoes.

For real, though, how serious is this?

[ophthalmic]

Aw I'm so touched. You wanna be the Peter Parker to my Gwen Stacy? You're welcome to save me any day. Not that I can't take care of myself. I've met way more brutish people than him though just saying.

You in need of new shoes? I can keep an eye out.

Your brother is fine. Probably. I mean I think. He usually is.

I can't find Gordon and I don't know if he knows where it is. I get antsy when I can't find my stuff. I don't really know the people here other than you two.

Antsy is an understatement I'm kind of freaking out.

I was gonna go out but not without my crowbar.

[outlines]

[ give him a minute or two while text-to-speech reads this long-ass message out loud to him, and another minute to pick out the important parts to respond to. ]

Hold on. Who or what is Gordon? Context clues lead me to believe you named a crowbar, but that also sounds kind of, maybe, like it could be a stretch.

because jasna knows what she's about

[cockups]

I like your dog.

[outlines]

[ ... okay. kind of creepy. ]

Okay. Thanks? Who is this?

[cockups]

[ Look. She doesn't care. ]

What's his name? I'm a friend of P.K.'s.

[outlines]

And he just gave you my contact information? What's your name?

[cockups]

[ . . . ]

What's your dog's name?

[outlines]

Benjamin.

What's yours?
