Sorry."

I—

[ there have been so many "hold the phone" moments here that it's almost to the point of overwhelming. ] You don't know...?

[callbacks]

What? Oh. No, I do.

[No thanks to SOME PEOPLE ON YOUR TEAM who can't keep OTHER PEOPLE'S SHIT TO THEMSELVES.]

I mean...all of it. I hope she doesn't have to go back to any of it. Dying bites, Yang. Hella unfun, zero stars out of ten, would not recommend the experience.

[usedflareblitz]

Heh. [ so, so wry. ] You don't have to tell me twice. I'd swipe left on death any day. [ she is barely allowed to make that comment. thanks, Ash. ]

[callbacks]

Swipe...what? Huh?

[What do left and right have to do with death, what is he missing here, is this a meme.]

[usedflareblitz]

Oh it's... from something called Tinder? [ she deflates. ]

I don't know. Ask Ashley. I probably screwed it up.

Anyway. Point is, I came close enough already, fighting what... well I don't think he was the "big bad" but he was a hell of a lot more powerful than anyone I've ever faced before. [ and that cold, hard edge is back. ] Charged in to save my partner. Lost the arm. By the time I woke up she'd left us already. [ deep breath. a sniffle. she didn't even say goodbye. ] That's pretty much my side of the story.

[callbacks]

...Yeah.

[He sounds far away again, deep in recognition.]

I was trying to save Jade. But I didn't wake up.

[After a moment, he sighs and drags himself back to the here and now. His job here's to listen, not to talk.]

Your partner's--Blake, right? And if she was just here on the moon, then...hell. That's a real mean trick for this place to pull, on top of all that clusterfuck.

[usedflareblitz]

Yes. Yes, it was. [ she'd raise a middle finger to whoever was responsible for that bit of timing, but her only hand's occupied with the PokéGear at the moment. ] Though honestly? It's fine that she's missing. Appropriate really.

[ taking pot-shots at someone who isn't even here to defend herself. stirring up words she'll have a hard time swallowing later. ]

[Ooooh, Dave can smell a bitter ex venting session from a mile away. Thanks, Terezi, for your enduring obsession with spider8itch.

Actually, no thanks at all, that shit was a lot fucked up and kind of destroyed Terezi utterly, and that's not cool.]

This a pattern of hers?

[usedflareblitz]

It wasn't the first time, it just hurt a hell of a lot more after—

[ Yang sucked in a breath through her teeth. no you know what? that's too personal, too quickly. ] After. Everything.

[callbacks]

Yeah. Yeah, I could see that being the case.

[Waking up alone after his own utter clusterfuck was...well. It was not his favorite experience.]

I'm glad at least the other girls are still with you. I think the rest of my posse are stuck out west for a while, so...but, you know, if there's anything we can do.

[Just say the word.]

[usedflareblitz]

[ Yang wouldn't call being here with everyone else as something to be wholly glad about, but at this point, she's too tired to make the point. ]

...yeah. I'll try to remember. [ no promises on her actually doing anything with the information because haha what is ASKING for HELP?!? ]

Thanks, Dave. And, uh. Sorry stuff happened to you, too.
