SYLVIA:

  Thanks for coming

  DAMIEN:

  np

  Thanks for setting it up

  SYLVIA:

  I had time to plan

  Seemed like a good way to rejoin society

  DAMIEN:

  ttrpg?

  To reenter society?

  SYLVIA:

  Lol yeah

  Our little society

  Fk the rest of society

  DAMIEN:

  Haha there’s our favorite edgelord

  SYLVIA:

  Edgelady*

  CORINNE:

  Hey, just wanted to thank you for reigning Christopher in when he started messing around too much. He’s playing a gnome but he’s more like an imp XP

  DAMIEN:

  np

  CORINNE:

  Can you try to talk him into taking this more seriously? I think this might be really important for helping Sylvia heal. I mean, not physically but emotionally. You know?

  DAMIEN:

  I’ll try

  No promises

  CORINNE:

  Thanks, I appreciate it. After everything she’s been going through, I just really want something to go right. It’s not much, but at least it’s fun. A bright spot after the shittiest six months ever.

  DAMIEN:

  It’ll be fine

  She knows what she’s doing

  CORINNE:

  I know, you’re right. I just worry. I don’t want her backsliding or something. She’s not back to her old self, but at least she’s holding conversation. She was almost animated tonight, too, don’t you think?

  DAMIEN:

  Yeah

  CORINNE:

  The doctors said it might take a while before she’s anything like she used to be, but they were optimistic

  I’ve talked with Bea and John about it a lot

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  I think talking helped

  DAMIEN:

  You’ve been really supportive

  CORINNE:

  It gave me something to do

  Not like I was bored

  Just that I needed something to stay focused on

  Helping Sylvie and Bea and John made everything easier

  Sort of

  I don’t know

  That sounds wrong

  DAMIEN:

  You were coping with a lot and this gave you purpose

  CORINNE:

  Yes! Exactly!

  You get it

  DAMIEN:

  :)

  BETHANY:

  U survive

  DAMIEN:

  ??

  BETHANY:

  The drive home

  C had 2.5 beers

  DAMIEN:

  He paced himself

  And he metabolizes fast

  And u brought horse piss

  BETHANY:

  It wasn’t horse piss

  DAMIEN:

  Wheat soda

  BETHANY:

  Shut up

  You should drive next time

  You never finish a beer anyway

  Beer waster

  DAMIEN:

  Bc I am weak

  BETHANY:

  Need me to cull you from the herd?

  DAMIEN:

  Not yet

  Ask me again next week

  BETHANY:

  k

  Putting it in my calendar

  Setting a reminder

  “Ask Damien re: culling”

  DAMIEN:

  Make it a recurring event

  Might take a few weeks

  BETHANY:

  Lol

  CORINNE:

  Should we start dressing up for game night?

  DAMIEN:

  I don’t have the budget for a rogue costume

  CORINNE:

  We could do it like a closet cosplay. Or make it ourselves!

  DAMIEN:

  No sewing machine

  No rogue clothes in my closet

  CORINNE:

  Maybe you’ve got something rogue adjacent?

  Ooh, or we could try Goodwill.

  DAMIEN:

  Imagine what Christopher would come up with for Torvald.

  CORINNE:

  Oh. Yeah, bad idea. Nevermind!

  What about thematically appropriate food?

  DAMIEN:

  You should ask Sylv about that

  She knows what food would be appropriate

  ALEXANDER:

  [meme: Lisa Frank dolphin and sea creatures, “NOTHING MATTERS AND THAT’S OKAY”]

  DAMIEN:

  [meme: men on a bus, one with a view over the valley, the other with a view of the side of the mountain. “NOTHING MATTERS…” “NOTHING MATTERS!” both men are labeled “nihilists”]

  ALEXANDER:

  lol

  CHRISTOPHER:

  Go to bed, idiot

  It’s 2 AM

  I can hear you giggling at your phone

  DAMIEN:

  :P
