[Needless to say, Rick has seen better days. He's had a chance to read his note and change and get a feel for the dormitory level of the tower, but no amount of acclimation is going to make him comfortable with the fact that everything he knew--everything he was comfortable with knowing--has simply vanished. Desperate to find some tangible connection to his world, Rick makes a call for the one person that he knows can support him. So far, he's found no evidence that she's even here; an open post is all he can think to do next.]

Codi? It's Rick. You're probably hiding, and that's okay--you don't have to say where you are. I just want to know if you're all right.

I love you.

[He might be starting to panic a little bit.]

I'm sorry that I can't be more entertaining, but...this is genuinely worrying! I mean, for her sake, not mine. She can usually take care of herself...but if she's not here, that's a problem, right?

[text YOU'RE RUINING HER FUN WITH YOUR GENUINENESS!!]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

yeah i guess so
tbh this place is kind of shitty and horrible so it may be sort of better if shes not
depends on your point of view
but theres some timeline out there where shes all fine and dandy so thats ok i think!

Yeah...that's what I keep hearing. The "tower is a terrible place" thing, I mean. Is being here really worse than not existing at all?

[He chooses not to comment on the multiple timelines thing because, what? Rick does not compute.]

[Come on man, she's like 14 and she...pretends to understand multiple timelines at least..]

idk
its a pretty fucking shitty place
at first its kind of a cool thing to not be not existing when you were supposed to be not existing
and then after a while the charm kind of wears off like when you find out the new triple a video game is actually a piece of shit :/

[that was the most convoluted series of negatives]

[Rick is far too frazzled to parse most of this.]

I guess that's the other "point of view" you were talking about...At least if Codi were here, we would be suffering through this together.

[come on bro double negatives are totally cool.]

make one real shitty honeymoon though
happy anniversary darling were stuck in murder central
~but at least were together~

[Jade can't see Rick involuntarily giggle behind the terminal and then feel very bad about it immediately thereafter.]

I hate to say it, but you'd be surprised.
