[voice, then text] Feb 4th - AFTER the eclipse

[fangool]

[ He gets the message before the eclipse, but doesn't answer until after. It's been a stressful day, but his baby chicks (read as: Matt and Glen) are all scooped up and protected in his hotel room, so at least there's that. ]

I'm - you don't gotta. [ He starts, voice awkward and loud, and then he makes an incredibly frustrated sound and hangs up the phone. Amal will get a text instead. ] deaf, can't hear anything

fine though otherwise just
are you okay what happened to you

[text]

[godowntogether]

[At first he's confused, then concerned, then angry. Is he fucked up again already? SERIOUSLY?

Before he can respond with what he thinks of that, he gets the texts. And... oh. Right. It makes sense now. He kind of doesn't want to text, the buttons don't feel like anything at all and that's goddamn creepy, but it's the only way they can communicate right now.

his texts come slow; it's harder to do this with numb hands than he ever imagined, and he keeps going back to correct typos.]

oh man, that really sucks

can you read lips or do sign language or anything?

I'm ok I just can't feel anything

[fangool]

no i never been fucking deaf before

[ ... Calm down, Ghoul. Amal's just trying to help. On the other side, he takes a deep breath and tries again, curling up on the bed he's sitting on. ]

you got what glen got
looks like theres been repeats
lemme fucking tell you being deaf aint a picnic

[ A pause between texts. Then: ]

i'm fine and i'm not sick of you
i aint high again either so don't worry

[godowntogether]

[He's briefly annoyed by that, but whatever. It's Ghoul. When aren't they a hair away from sniping at each other?]

it's bad everywhere

I ran across blind people and at least one guy who can't walk, like he lost his sense of balance

so far we don't even have a solution yet, it's complete bs

[And another longish pause before he responds.]

hey good to know

on both counts :P

if you need anything, let me know

[fangool]

course we dont have a solution
its gotta play itself out thats how this place works amal
if it dont let up im testing my theory

[ And then, much more hesitantly: ]

mmhm
actually two things
is tj okay
and have you seen clementine

[godowntogether]

I KNOW, I know!

but that drives me crazy

it's ridiculous that the answer to everything is to hunker down and wait, what the fuck happened to getingh ansdwerd

[Whoa. Okay. Deep breaths, stop losing it. So you can't feel anything, so your head could be on fire right now for all you know. Ghoul's likely right, it has to sort itself out.]

sorry, typing's kinda hard rn

TJ's fine, just taking it easy

I haven't seen Clem since she left

Do you want me to look for her?

[fangool]

no i'll look for her
just wondered if you had
i dunno what she thinks of me now

hang in there kid
tell tj to do the same or i'll kick both your asses

[ He means that so lovingly. ]

[godowntogether]

right back at you :P

and let me know if you need an extra pair of eyes

this sensory thing is bullshit but at least those still work
