[ this poor squirrel chitters again, but chitters in an echoing tone after. ]
You seem to forget logic comes to a halt, but also? This is totally your fault. [ he's still laughing because it is. weird. also he's stressed and annoyed that he's cursed, but it's fine. ]
Probably be grateful we haven't even seen any pigeons in case an all-out war broke out. Sounds like things are still tense there even in times of peace.
No, okay, I know that sounded kind of out of left field but there was a point to that? Shu and I were talking about how we can be on one plane but everything else and other people are on another. And how, like, even the shadow people we keep seeing somehow weren't involved in any of what happened over the weekend. Like they couldn't see us in McDonald's for those nine hours, or what happened with the public erasure.
[ hum. she nods. ] I've been thinking of it like frequencies.
Like... When you get close to one channel and you can kind of hear another one on top of it, really quiet and staticky. The—the overlay. Or whatever. That's the shadow people.

[ alex, who has not perceived touch week or red string for herself or any strangers, at least noticed it for... jonas. nailed it. ]
Want me to try and see what they think? I'm good at this stuff.
[ debatable. ]

[ he says, unaware that he has also been touchy, or that red string is a thing, or that any of this is weird. ]

If you say so!

at the same time, a squirrel comes down to clamber up his shoulder and chitter at both of them. ]

Feed the squirrel the hot dog.
no subject
but also. he had strongly debated it himself so honestly that's all the push he needs to break off a piece to feed it to their squirrel friend.
the squirrel takes it! and eats the piece of hot dog!!
and absolutely starts squeaking. there are no words they can understand, but the cadence does seem to be in a rhythmic tone.
which is why he sort of just starts losing his shit laughing because it's so. fucking weird. he hates this place actually. ]
no subject
I don't know what I expected.

What—hey, you're the one that actually did it!
no subject
Maybe that's true, but you suggested it. Sooo the blame's not on me, so quit.
no subject
Wonder what he's saying.
no subject
Uh...maybe he's asking for water in a cup? I don't know, Alex, just make it up.
[ this is such a good distraction. ]
no subject
[ ok ]
no subject
[ oh. wait. he just sags back against the tree trunk. ]
Finally.
[ 50-60 tags of rhymes was my limit. ]

They're at war with the pigeons. But things have been peaceful, so they're probably on a shaky truce right now.
no subject
Sorry, man. It's gonna be at least three hours.
no subject
[ poor squirrel... he'll be mocked by his squirrel friends. ]
no subject
[ alas, poor squirrel... ]

The biggest question is what will you do now that you have this important knowledge?
no subject
no subject
That's why they're at war—they both have to fight over this land because they can't get to the other district. [ a pause. ] I made that up. But maybe.
no subject
You think they can cross barriers when we can't? Not like their souls were messed with or whatever.
