@ZD
Yo! I'm not in right now. Leave me a message.

((OOC: Zell may show messages to Jim Hawkins. If you do not want Jim to see/know, then please let me know.))

Two ninety... one?

[ Jim has to think it over; he hasn't been the most cognizant of time passing, the last day or so, even without the persistent sickness that's still bothering him. ]

It's been a really long time.

[swatsflies]

[ He looks relieved at that. ]

Alright, good. I thought I missed something.

[ He doesn't know what though? Just that it's a day or two away :( ]

[rattlingthestars]

Not yet.

[ Whatever it is, apparently Jim knows. ]

Any other questions?

[swatsflies]

Tons, but I also don't want to really spoil anything, you know? So I'll stick to a couple. [ He just has to use his questions wisely! ]
How long have we known each other?

[rattlingthestars]

Two hundred and forty-five days. Well, forty-six now, I guess.

[ It's after midnight, right? ]

It seems like way longer.

[swatsflies]

Man, that's almost as long as I've been here.

[ It's pretty impressive! ]

You stuck by me a long time, huh?

[ Which is hard to even fathom.

Clicking around on the tablet as grows even more curious about Jim. ]

[rattlingthestars]

You stuck by me.

[ Jim realizes pretty quickly that Zell might take that the wrong way. ]

I mean, I'm getting the way better end of the bargain. Or something. You're worth sticking around for.

[swatsflies]

[ Well, he could see why if the guy is always this cute.

Which is also pretty bewildering to him. ]

Yeah? Why do you think that?

[rattlingthestars]

Really? You're going to make me say it?

[ Expressing emotions, bah. ]

Feels like confessing all over again.

[swatsflies]

[ He feels his face grow hot at confessing. ]

Whoa! Did you confess to me?

[ So much for only one question but he's really amazed by that. So much of this was HUGE and astonishing. Reaching to put a hand over his chest to try to calm down the hard thumping there. ]

You don't have to say anything. I just... wow.

[rattlingthestars]

Heh. Not first.

[ He'll tell Zell that much, though he'll leave out all the parts about shirtlessness and kissing. ]

Still a lot more talking about stuff than I like, though.

[swatsflies]

[ He can't help but to smile at that. Staring at the screen a little goofy like for a moment longer before looking away feeling sheepish. ]

Oh yeah. Okay, no more questions about the past. From now on we'll make new memories until I remember everything again

[ He hopes he'll remember everything. Trying not to think about it as he turns the tablet around to show. ]

I remember reading about this place on the network. [ Thankfully it's still relatively new... ]

[rattlingthestars]

[ It really is Zell. Jim keeps being reminded in little ways, and ... just how much he sounds like himself. ]

My lips are sealed.

[ Jim looks around at Zell's surroundings as best he can. ]

I don't think we've made it inside that place yet. You know, before now.

[swatsflies]

[ Not a body double without memories. The real deal. he can inspect thoroughly if he wants. ]

I can get some footage of it to share.

[ He can do the exploring.

But that has his mind going to other things he may have recorded already. Tapping on the screen again as he flips through. ]

Whoa. Looks like I have quite a bit saved on here.

[rattlingthestars]

Y-Yeah. You like to take a lot of pictures.

[ Please hold, Jim is currently experiencing every regret in the universe and can't come to the tablet right now. ]

you brought this on yourself

[swatsflies]

There is a lot of you. I mean a lot. I guess that wouldn't be strange cause we're dating and-

[ Oh huh? That thumbnail. ]

I. Do you know about all of them? Did I show you these because some of them are...

[ YOU KNOW ]

excuse me you started it

[rattlingthestars]

I've seen them.

[ Just going to. Leave that there. Yup. ]

Most of them.

[ The important ones. ]

you'll never take me alive

[swatsflies]

[ He's feeling his cheeks grow hot as he quickly taps out. Maaaaybe later when he wasn't talking to Jim. ]

Okay. Good. Just making sure in case...

[ he didn't want to have stuff without permission. That would make a MAJOR weirdo ]

Oh! There's video too. [ Are these safe, Jim? Are they? ]

i've already got you

[rattlingthestars]

Yep!

[ Hey look Zell, mystery boyfriend squeaks! ]

There's video! Maybe - just - I'm going to go -

or do you- yes you do

[swatsflies]

[ Should he be afraid? because it's hard to be afraid or worried when the squeaking is freaking cute.

Wait. Whoops scaring away the past? present? future? boyfriend. ]

Huh? [ quick think of something before he hangs up ] I won't click it!

:D

[rattlingthestars]

It's too late.

[ Not!Zell knows and Jim's going to die. ]

There's no coming back from this.

[swatsflies]

[ The couch welcomes Jim into it's embrace. ]

There's coming back from this! [ Maybe??? He's not sure how. Just have to make it right some how ]

Any way I can make it up to you? [ Should he delete it? ]

[rattlingthestars]

[ hello couchness my old friend ]

Just. Maybe wait a while to go through all your notes and pictures, okay?

[ Like until he gets his memory back or something. ]

They're yours and all but.

[swatsflies]

Yeah, I'll try.

[ He can't make any promises because he's thirsty for deets about this and all of his friends. ]

I'll avoid the videos for sure. And maybe skip any of the pics that look...[ Clearing his throat. ] You know. [ Let's change topics. ] I did see pics of a round cat.

[rattlingthestars]

[ As long as he never talks to Jim about it, it's fine! They're fine! Everything is okay! ]

Oh, yeah. That's Mochi. He misses you.

[ Not as much as Jim, but he's been pretty pathetic. ]
