Want me to wake him up to say hi?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

Oh, I don't want to—

Yes. Yes I do. Or I can call him back later, too, I suppose.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

Give me a minute.

[there's a bit of a pause and then, sounding only slightly sleeply—]

Chuck! Good morning!

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

[PROBABLY sounds really snotty and like she is pretending she wasn't just crying]

Hey stranger! Sorry to wake you.

Re: Day 178, morning

[suicidewatch]

Wake me up anytime, it's good to hear your voice.

[no longer sounding tired at all]

How are you?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

[pause]

I'll try to avoid the theatrics again but-- well, I remembered getting murdered. And I— well, I had to call the two of you, of course.

[SNIFF]

Re: Day 178, morning

[slowly] ...I might have heard the last part of it.

Chuck... I'm so sorry.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

Right. Since, well, it's not like it's a secured line and-- that's probably for the best rather than explaining everything all over again. I'll be fine, really just. Well, you know. It's different remembering.

Re: Day 178, morning

[suicidewatch]

It's very different. [darkly] Whoever did that to you was a monster.

[voice easing up] I owe you a lot of hugs, the next time I see you. So many hugs. Until then, have you talked to anyone else about it?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

[oh no dark hound]

Every single hug.

Mouse—one of our newer recruits—was with me when I took it. He stayed with me and recited poetry. He's a good person. I mentioned it to Rabbit, Kit and Ned so far. I don't really want to bring anyone else down about it.

Re: Day 178, morning

[suicidewatch]

I'm sure they wouldn't mind, but hang in there, okay? Hisoka and I are always here to talk, and I'm never not happy to hear from you.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

Of course.

The library was lost for a hot minute there but it's back in its proper place so I've been reading through it like wildfire. If wildfire read. I'll have to work on getting some more books in there lest I read everything and have to start over again.

Re: Day 178, morning

[suicidewatch]

...What kind of stories do you like?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

Everything.

Re: Day 178, morning

[suicidewatch]

[legit]

That's fair.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

I was left to my own devices quite a bit growing up. I speak several languages.

Re: Day 178, morning

[suicidewatch]

Sounds like you kept yourself pretty busy. Which ones?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

French, Swedish, German, Mandarin and Japanese. And English.

Re: Day 178, morning

[suicidewatch]

[whoa]

...I'm almost a hundred and I only know Japanese...

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

I think I was generally homebound.

Re: Day 178, morning

[suicidewatch]

You turned out pretty well, so something must have went right.
