[ Gabriel feels-- he's not sure. He knows he didn't want to set the clearly-traumatized kid at Prophet-cult things, so this feels like a loss. He is so curious about what's going on, but he's not even going to press harder here. ]
Fair enough. I actually have a 20 on me, so it's not even an impossible claim.
But yeah, don't blame you for wanting to keep your head down. I know that's going to be a long night. Are your friends managing all right so far? Want me to stay up with you?
thanks ill spend it on all this nothing that costs money around here but no i dont need you to stay up with me get some rest gabriel weve been through worse
Hey, you never know around here. Maybe a 20 dollar bill with stupid drawings on it will be the solution to some obtuse puzzle or something.
Didn't ask if you needed it. But sure, sounds good. I'll check in with you in the morning.
[ He hangs up (as much as one can 'hang up' on a text conversation) and tries to sleep. It doesn't go well, and much of his thoughts are on what exactly happened over there. A half hour before lockdown ends, a text from him pops up again. ]
Hey, you still around and kicking? Everything all right over there?
[Davesprite barely gets much sleep either, even with Karkat and the Cat there with him. It's not the kind of paranoia MN poisonin gave him before, but after all that racket, who could trust things to stay peaceful? If that door opened, they'd have no way to avoid whatever was on the other side, and he only would have so long to throw him at it to try to save the other two...]
[He's half dozing when the message comes, but the ping noise of a new message rouses his attention. He checks the clock. Almost done here, thank fuck.]
morning gabriel nothing else happened didnt get much sleep but who would after that
Idiots might, but that's about all I can think of.
Glad it was quiet after that, though. I'll let you go, then. But if you see anyone in the area looking for something to do, would you send them that way? With the appropriate warnings, of course. I'll ask around, too- or just head there myself if we get the time. There's clearly something up, but I'd rather you get the hell out of there. Didn't think I was directing you to a night of no sleep.
fuck no im not sending anyone there i cant stop you if you do it and ill spread the warning if it comes up but i dont need people getting attacked by an anomaly even if its something else i dont want anyone to get hurt
[ But every sign points to that place holding a way to access our nanomachines or the network in general, so Gabriel definitely will ask more of people. Just...not Davesprite. ]
Hope your travels are safe, Davesprite. I'll talk to you later.
