[ After a certain post on the network ]
I remember you were talking about yaoi hands before.
How much about that stuff do you know?

[Kesara is doing this thing with Extreme Propriety. She's made an attempt to tame her hair and wipe her face before making the call, and the sound might catch the last note of her clearing her throat.]
Miss Stephanie, I need to talk with you for a moment, please. About Zach.

[ Steph has a hairbrush. Steph always looks tidy, if... not particularly clean. ]
Okay? Is something wrong?

Hi Zell. I just left the school shed, I'm actually headed in your direction.
[ She'd ask why, but she's pretty sure she already knows. Also she's got a one track mind right now. ]

[ She swears she's gonna have a heart attack. In the good way, just now, but still. ]
Jesus Christ, Tony was right, you do need a leash. What happened?

Roses are red,
Not goldish like corn.
This Loverpalooza,
Avoid tentacle porn.
Have a lovely day!! ♥

[ This brightens Steph's day more than she can say. ]
WOW

Is that guy legit?
[ Hopefully she knows who he's talking about. ]
[ Hopefully she knows who he's talking about. ]
[ She of course doesn't get back to him until later, when Bruce has left the text-only house. ]
Yeah, he's legit. You don't have to beat him up.
Yeah, he's legit. You don't have to beat him up.
[ Oh thank god. She wouldn't really know what to do with herself if he was like, the Riddler, or Hush. ]
Where do I start? You want a play by play, intel on the town or a rundown on the people?

[ This is pretty much the correct response to Bruce Wayne, actually. ]
I thought you might. What did he do this time?
I thought you might. What did he do this time?
If this wakes you up, I'm sorry
Just letting you know that I'm back!! And thought I should do that asap since it looks like it's been a little longer than usual :CCC
[ SUPER CASUAL THIS IS NBD ]

[ Steph had been lying awake anyway, and although she's sure Zach is too she still restrains a son in favor of crying silently. ]
thank you
Thank god
Kes died yesterday

[The sound of crunching snow fills the background as Al walks, voice finally more chipper than it has been in literal weeks.]
Steph, are you busy? Call me back when you're somewhere that you can talk. Don't worry, it's not urgent.

[ It's a little easier to deal with the world today, now that Angel is back. She almost sounds chipper herself as she maneuvers carefully through the tunnels. ]
I'm not busy. What's up?
I'm not busy. What's up?
Hey steph
we found kesara
she's atthe cchapel
[ The combination of the cold blasting in their faces from snowboarding and seeing who was there is making him a little shaky. ]

[ Jesus. Oh god. She isn't sure if that's wonderful news or just heartbreaking. But Kes is so close... ]
I take it she hasn't woken up
I take it she hasn't woken up
[Early in the morning, Kesara's voice comes through all in a rush. Shaking and terrified, babbling her way through instructing her tablet.]
Steph? I need to talk to Steph. Please, I need to talk to Steph, can you hear me?
Steph? I need to talk to Steph. Please, I need to talk to Steph, can you hear me?
Kes?!
[ She had just about given up on Kesara coming back. The message just about gives her a heart attack. ]
Kes, it's me, I can hear you.

[ Not a great sign on Steph's part either, but at least she's making an effort at her usual coping method - dry humor. ]

[Steph is another one on Claire's lists of people to check in on. She's been nice and helpful since Claire arrived in town, and it's the very least Claire can do, after all.]
Hey Steph, it's Claire. Wanted to check in on you, after... last night. It's...well. I just wanted to know if you were doing okay, or if there is anything I can do to help. Let me know.

Hey.
[ Steph has at least calmed down a fair bit since this morning, though she's still in a black mood. ]
I'm... not okay, but I don't know that there's anything anyone can do about that. What about you?

As promised.
[ There's an attachment left with the message and when she hits play, take a wild guess what you see, Steph. If you guessed 'Kunsel looking out to murder Zack in all his pom pom glory', you guessed right.
It's such a small thing. But sometimes it's the small things that make this place more bearable, right? ]

[ She broadcasts her raucous laughter for him (and hopefully Kunsel, in the background). ]
[ Steph feels her world heave under her. It's a physical thing that would have knocked her off her feet if she wasn't already sitting down. ]

The app that took a memory and melted the anomalies? adjm31. No extension, no app title, no icon, very bare bones.

[Zach, on film, looks just as tired and drawn as he did when he talked about his birthday on the network, a few days ago. He's pale, eyes red-rimmed with exhaustion and stress, but he's alert, and looks at the camera intently as he starts recording his message.]
I want to come back.
[To the point, Zach. Make it easy for her to say yes or no.]
I have to go help Ed, first, but. I want to come back. You can just...tie me up, knock me out, whatever. When I go murdery again. I trust you.

[ This is everything she's been wanting to hear for days, and she's pretty sure she owes Watson a gift basket or something. ]
We're on our way out of the tunnels now, we can come meet you. When should we expect you?

Yo, Steph.
Jim and I are running to the convenience store.
Want me to pick you up anything?

Running low on food. Whatever you find, I guess?
How are you guys?

[Zach waits for Ed to be asleep to contact Steph. He leaves Ed in the bedroom to sleep, and goes to the kitchen, slightly further so that he's certain he won't wake Ed up just by... talking.
He sits in a corner, with a view to the door, and with the book he's picked out by his side when he dials in to record a message to Steph. He even makes it a video.]
Hey. So... Ed and I ended up in the house with all the porn books. And I found this.
[He holds up the book to the camera, the title Chad Goes Deep In The Neutral Zone in gold and red lettering at the bottom of it.]
Feeling like listening to some choice passages?

[ Steph leaves Kes in another room to answer the call. Just 'cause. And it's a good thing, because she busts out laughing at the title. ]
Oh my gosh. I so do.
Oh my gosh. I so do.
Are you - are you okay? You good?
[He takes a deep breath. He sounds shaken like he's not often been.]
My eyes are back to normal, and I'm back with Ed. Kesara's not answering Alexander, is she okay?

[ Steph, in contrast, is absolutely panicked. ]
She's gone, Zach, I can't find her anywhere!

[ No... no. Not after Jason. Not after everything. God. ]
Thank you for telling me.
Is there anything I can do? I can stay up with you and just chat, or play a game or something.
