@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.))

[This is a really awkward call to make. Aside from his tiny circle (more like a line, two can't be called a circle) of close friends, he doesn't really call anyone on these things.

But time with Flynn, and making up with John, have both made him aware that he should be making more of an effort here to live, not just survive. Zell is one of those people on his periphery who has always been nice when they've run into each other, and has shown a bit more understanding than most, which is why he's getting the dubious honour of Bucky attempting a social call.

There's nothing but a blinking cursor for a long time, and he feels stupid when he finally sends out the message.]

How have you been?

[swatsflies]

[ It's certainly a surprise, but a good one. Especially after all the things. ]

Oh hey! I'm doing better. We're back over by the bunker.
How have you been?

[advanced]

[Seems like everyone and their mothers are heading to the bunker.]

Fine. Better.

[Now what? He's not good at this whole socialising thing.]

[swatsflies]

I'm glad. Are you traveling with anyone?

[ It's cool, his bff is kind of like this too ]

[advanced]

[Thank goodness that Zell can handle this side of things.]

Yeah. Flynn, do you know him? Talks a lot, kind of annoying.

[swatsflies]

Oh yeah I know him!

[ Oh. Yeah, that's a surprising combo. ]

That's a surprise.
I can see if Kunsel has any more books to send to him.

[ For a distraction. ]

[advanced]

Why is it a surprise?

[Although he wouldn't say no to more books as a distraction, except then Flynn will probably natter on about them to Bucky anyway.]

sobs I thought I got to this. I'm sorry <3

[swatsflies]

He seems like he can be really talkative.
Which isn't bad for me
You seem like you value less chatter and questions though

no worries at all

[advanced]

[He's not exactly wrong there.]

Just because he asks a lot of questions, doesn't mean I have to answer them.

[swatsflies]

[ He snorts. That's true. ]

Well, if you need a break, feel free to let me know.
I can poke him

[advanced]

I might need to take you up on that.

Have you found out how to shut him up?

[swatsflies]

Books, puzzles...
Also he's afraid of mercenaries
But maybe not go with that option.

[advanced]

He's afraid of mercenaries?
Why?

[Seems an oddly specific thing to be afraid of.]

[swatsflies]

He apparently pissed off someone bad who sent them after him.

[advanced]

That's not surprising, he can piss people off without trying.

[God knows he works Bucky's last nerve sometimes.]

[swatsflies]

Yeah. Yeah, he can.
We got off to an uh
rocky start when he first got here.

[ They are friends NOW. ]

[advanced]

What happened?

[That's probably a personal question, but he's curious. Both Flynn and Zell seem like stupidly good natured people, it's hard to imagine them having an issue with one another.]

[swatsflies]

I told him that I'm one.

[advanced]

You're a mercenary? Wouldn't have guessed.

[He seems way too trusting and friendly for that sort of career.]

[swatsflies]

That's because you haven't seen what I can do.

[ ᕙ། – ڡ – །ᕗ ]

[advanced]

And let’s hope that I never have to.

And that you never need to see what I can do either.

[swatsflies]

Not unless we run into certain assholes like Miller.

[ Then he's pretty down for violence. ]

[advanced]

I think there'll be a queue.

[He's fairly sure that even the most pacifist of people here will want a shot at Miller.]

[swatsflies]

Yeah, I think even Ginger might be tempted to take a swing.
Maybe we should go last.
That way there's still something for everyone else to punch before we get to him.

[advanced]

If he even still exists.

Could be automated by now, just using his voice and registration details.
