[ 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. ]

[swatsflies]

Mochi? Like the food?

[ He does resemble it... ]

Is he around there? Can I see?

[rattlingthestars]

-Guess so?

[ Jim thinks someone explained that to him a long time ago, anyway, but since he doesn't know what the food looks like it didn't really stick. ]

Here, hold on.

[ The tablet's abandoned for a moment as Jim wanders off to find the cat. He looks a little less dead when he comes back to present Mochi to the screen. ]

Not sure if he can see you, but your voice...

[swatsflies]

[ For a moment he has regrets because what if Jim really wasn't there. What if it's a lie and no one ever comes back.

He then relaxes as son as he hears Jim come back. Letting out a relieved sigh as he smiles again. Jim is back! And there again. Closing his eyes as he bumps his forehead against the tablet to try to reassure himself that it's real and everything is okay.

Then the smile is back and he's looking at the screen again. ]

Hey, Mochi. Here kitty kitty.

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim is back and he's smiling softly as he holds Mochi up and waves his paw at Zell. He doesn't have a chance to say anything, though, since Mochi begins to meow loudly as soon as he hears Zell's voice.

Jim's glad he can hide his expression behind Mochi's big fat butt, because it almost sends him crying again. ]

[swatsflies]

[ Mochi is just thick bodied. ]

He looks so soft! Are you being a good kitty?

[ Don't mind him as he chatters in a certain soft voice for Mochi. He feels warm because not only is there this ball of fur waiting for him, but the one holding him is too. It's kind of...amazing and overwhelming in itself. ]

[rattlingthestars]

Don't be fooled, it's not fluff, it's fat.

[ It's also fluff, but seriously. How Mochi has managed to stay balloon-shaped, Jim doesn't know. ]

He's been keeping us company.

[ Keeping Jim company. ]

[swatsflies]

He's just well taken care of. Aren't you, Mochi?

[ Going to pat the screen. ]

Guess it's good I'm not that far, huh? He won't be alone in keeping longer.

[ Wait. ]

You guys. There's the other two from the network.

[rattlingthestars]

Yeah. It's a really good thing.

[ He's cold and he needs someone who puts up with him octopusing. ;-; ]

-Zack and Kunsel?

[swatsflies]

Yeah, them. They spoke to me on the obituaries. [ Which is still weird tbh. It's weird seeing other names and those messages there for him. ]

Oh! I met my friend friend on there. [ He smiles softly as he says this. ] Her name is Ecks. [ He made a friend though! ]

[rattlingthestars]

Kind of a weird feeling, huh?

[ Being on the obituaries, he means. ]

Ecks is one of your friends, yeah. She's pretty cool. You've got more than that though.

[swatsflies]

Yeah, it is. A lot of this is pretty weird.

[ Like there being people and the boyfriend... ]

Not that it's bad. Really surprising but in a good way. Didn't think I would ever get the chance to date someone.

[ Cause something something, his life is dangerous? ]
