Presses him like she'd promised she wouldn't. That was before he became a danger.]
Did you survive the last event?
[Her tone is flat, face expressionless under her sunglasses.]
I shot you a few times, so it seems polite to check in.
[Does he even remember? He'd been pretty out of it.]
video
But getting shot? That's definitely a first.
Getting shot, it turns out, hurts just as much as you'd think it would hurt. Waking up and realizing you've gotten shot without any memory of who shot you or why is even worse, believe it or not.
But why, god, did she have to pick video?
He thinks he knows the answer.
Tim himself is only barely visible, the angle of the video showing only one eye and a portion of his forehead. Even then, it's clear from his gaunt exterior that he's even worse for wear than he is usually.
The words are quiet, when they come.]
That was you?

[text], post event
But anyways...]
Buenos dias Tim.
I understand if you cannot reply to this immediately, but I wish to check in with you. How are things?
[text]
Well, they don't really talk much. Can't blame him. After the shit Tim's live wire of a brain put Zacharie through, he wouldn't wanna talk to himself either. He pretty much never wants to talk to himself, or think about himself, or engage in his own thoughts in any way, but hey, he's not so lucky.
Keep it short, and to the point.]
i'm alive.
you?

So he gave himself a day of self-observation. The headache from the lack of sleep was inevitable but he didn't experience a coughing fit like he did in the dream or suffer the feeling of being watched. Maybe it took more than a day to kick in, maybe not. Either way this was likely something Zacharie couldn't leave alone.]
Apologizes for the text at such an hour amigo but I need to speak to you about something.
It is about a certain mutual acquaintance of ours.
[Talking around It was probably the same as directly talking about It, but there was no other way to put it. Zacharie puts the device down and stares out the window while waiting for Tim's reply.]
text
No no no no no no no no no no it was a dream it was a dream it wasn't supposed to be real it wasn't supposed to be real. God. No. God no please, please let it not be about this please let it
Of course it's about this. It has to be.
It takes him several minutes to get his fingers to stop shaking enough to respond.]

Hey.
How're you doing?
You feeling any better?
text
The contents of the message tell him everything he needs to know about at least one of the people he encountered while he was...like that. At once, he blanches, thumb hovering over the button that would delete the message, wipe it away, clean the slate.
Pretend it never happened. It's worked before.
Only it hasn't, has it?
The first step is to figure out what, exactly, just happened, and how much she came away knowing. Probably wasn't difficult to discern his identity, if she was able to get the mask off, and he woke up with it lying in the grass several feet away. And even so, the build, the appearance...there are innumerable tells. Especially for someone in the military.
Especially for someone who knew Alex.]

6/29, left outside Tim's door
I never watched it. I don't even have a tape player.
I don't care about your secrets.
[.....it's about as close to apologizing as George is willing to get.]
no subject
Except she didn't.
It's...an apology, maybe. Or a display of trust? Hell if he knows.
He turns the thing over and over in his hands. Hovers his thumb over her number before sighing and setting the phone down and burying his face in his hands.
He'd ask why things got so complicated, but he's pretty sure he already knows the answer to that one.]
text
sounds like there's a lot of something (somethings?) coming. may need to find high ground. not sure if the roof is any better than the floors we're on. might just need to stockpile food and lock ourselves inside for a few days.
[Jay's not sure what the safest choice here is, but then again he's not sure Tim does either. They agreed to team up before, but it's easier to team up in the context of a Dungeons and Dragons party than it is in the context of...whatever this is. 'Find a hiding place,' they said. He's tempted to just lock his door and lie around in bed for the next few days, but knowing how the last event went, he's doubtful that'll be enough.]
maybe we should share resources.
text
At least he's ahead of Tim there, as far as that's concerned.]
they're not being very specific about whatever's coming.
plural, i guess.
sometimes the closets stop working during stuff like this but there's no way to know for sure.
what kind of resources you have in mind?

what the fuck
do you remember anything from this weekend
text
[Unfortunately, Tim's not been scrubbed clean of that particular memory. He gets to keep the worst ones, he's pretty sure; those make themselves harder to forget. Which is saying something.]
[A fake history, a fake life, and it seems that none of them can still catch a break. Brian still dead. Alex still dead.]
[Jay still desperately searching for someone to blame for it.]
[What the fuck else is new.]
i said sometimes we forget who we are

action (roughly 3:30-4:00 AM)
"Tim. Tim."
He has one hand on the camera and one hand in his pocket.
no subject
So when there's the rap of knuckles on the wood of his door, Tim can't exactly claim he's surprised. Annoyed, maybe, that he has to actually get up and do something for once.
It's Jay. Why wouldn't it be?
And he sounds insistent enough for it to mean trouble.
And so, bleary-eyed and unkempt, the door cracks open and Tim peers out into the hall and stares directly into the dark lens of a camera, which is exactly the first thing he wants to see at ass o' clock in the morning.
"What."

Hey, kid. Call me or text me when you get this. I wanna ask you about something.
text not long after
[That's ominous. But her tone is businesslike that it gives nothing away and - he did say she could let him know, if she needed help with everything. That's pretty serious. Warrants this kind of heavy message, right?]
[Probably. Probably.]
[Regardless, he answers with text. That's easier.]

There's no note inside either.]

Inside the reason for the weird shape becomes clear: it's a badass anime sword.
Once handled, though, it becomes clear that it's solely made with PVC.
Inside, there's a note, but all it says is "sorry".]

[The mp3 player is fully-charged, and turning it on reveals that it has already been loaded with a few hours of music, mostly full albums. It's an eclectic mix, ranging from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to the Talking Heads to Three Days Grace to The Who and Pink Floyd and some electronic music, mostly instrumentals.]

[It's weird. It's invasive--but then again, when has that ever stopped him?]
[He just remembers how it was last year.]
[
And if they can still remember one of their birthdays after all the bullshit back home, maybe that's worth celebrating.]no subject
[He didn't actually realize.]
[He hadn't been tracking the day, hadn't been accounting for the fact that time in Wonderland has long since entered mid-June. And so it is that it takes him several minutes to actually respond.]
