[Network - Open] [Audio]

Date: [31st October]
Characters: [Sadie Moore and the Number I still haven't actually decided on even though its been months]

---

Sadie's tone of voice as it comes through the Network is unexpected unless anyone had managed to spend any significant amount of time with her and her brother. It is taunting in a way that only teenagers who have siblings can manage. Her words are probably confusing to the rest of the Network as well.

"You are a bad dog."

Comments

[dragoonrouge]

Sadie is... concerned when she hears Walter's response, but the Network was not the place to address it.

"Yeah, it certainly opens up some new avenues."

Meanwhile on her phone she texts him, Are you still at Jim's?

[Text]

[iamnotgod]

[He switches to just responding to the text message; less pressure.]

Yes, though I expect we'll both be ready to head over to the flat shortly.

Not that Jim's staying at the flat!

[There's less than a second's pause before the second text goes out, but there's still some internal flailing to go with it.]

[dragoonrouge]

Sadie can't help but grin at that despite the reasoning for Walter's stay with Jim.

But you want him to don't you :P

Maybe you should ask him to stay... Its better than being alone and having Russell there isn't quite the same is it?

Maybe a little on the nose but she was speaking from experience.

[iamnotgod]

[He'd send an appropriate emote, but no.]

No, it's not.

[Dammit Sadie.]

Though, what did happen for you last night? Or was it just me? I do apologize for not being able to notice.

[Though, given she hadn't been knocked down for the count... Or maybe he just didn't notice? Sadie would be in the right to read him the riot act anyhow, though.]

[dragoonrouge]

You going to ask him out????

Sadie grabs the ruby off of her bedside table and sends a picture to Walter

I got this, no bloody clue what it is tho

[iamnotgod]

SADIE.

As for that, I think we've technically already had a date??

[He doesn't even know 100% how to use boyfriend-type labels yet!]

That is definitely strange. Any associated memories, or is it just a gem?

[If he were in a better mood, he'd make a pun. Alas.]

[dragoonrouge]

WALTER

Where did you go??? Was it nice??? You still didn't answer my question, are you planning on asking him out?

He is handsome. And clever. And a bit of a disaster. You've got good taste :P

Anyway, no memories, just the gem. I think it's a real Ruby o.o

[Text]

[iamnotgod]

It was months ago, okay??? August 13th, we went to The Coffee Lab.

[And then back to Jim's place, but Walter's not mentioning that. Gods, the teasing might never end...

It serves as a nice distraction from thinking about his Echo, though. Go Sadie!]

Well, we can certainly be disasters together, out of those three. >.>

Strange; maybe it meant something to the person in your other memories?

[Using it as a channel for any magical power is not going to be his first guess.]

[dragoonrouge]

Ohohohohoho! Secret dates? Going back months ago? Walter I never thought you were the type! Maybe elopement is a more likely development than just dating >:3c

I expect to here all the news when you guys get secretly married on a romantic trip to the Caribbean.

[All joking aside Walter brings up a good point about the Ruby.]

Maybe...There might be something about it in that journal I got from the caves in that case!

Walter: /sticks tongue out at/

[iamnotgod]

My sister is more likely to elope with anyone than I am, and that's not saying all that much.

[In other words, no. =P]

We really should meet up to work more on translating that. Have you heard anything from Chihiro?

[Since she's also one of Sadie's friends, Walter recalls - and also went through those caves where Sadie got the journal.]

[dragoonrouge]

You never know, you could surprise yourself, besides Jim totally seems like he'd be up for some elopement. I'm sure it'd be fun :P

[Her and Ben just haven't had the time that they want to dive into the journey with the UCAS deadline coming up, Walter's aid would definitely expidite the process.]

Yeah, things should dial back a little at school soon...Chihiro had to go home so she's not going to be able to help much right now unfortunately.

Since it's not official that all those dropped lost their Echoes until Nov 11th...

[iamnotgod]

[Walter frowns.]

Out of range of the Network, then?

[And if it's not, can people really just... forget? His feelings on that possibility are decidedly mixed.]

[dragoonrouge]

Yeah. She told me she'd be leaving Mossgate for a while. I don't want to mention it to her incase she has forgotten.

I can scan a bunch of pages and send them to you?

[iamnotgod]

We'll probably have to keep track of who forgets somehow - perhaps not on the Network, either.

That would be much appreciated, yes, thank you. Unless you want to go over it in person when we're all less overwhelmed?

[He almost types busy, but overwhelmed is more accurate.]

[dragoonrouge]

The latter might be nice, we could make an evening out of it. Have some takeaway, relax a bit. It could be fun!!

[iamnotgod]

[Could, definitely. The last 'take out and relax' night had been with Ben and Russell, and that had been something of a roller coaster.]

Sounds like we have a plan.

[And, in an effort to reassure Sadie, he sends a :) emote along as well.]

[dragoonrouge]

We should see if anyone else could help us, it is a bloody big book.

...You could invite Jim >:3c

[iamnotgod]

[ahgagladsghas SADIE.

He almost types exactly that, but refrains.]

Not sure what he thinks about calligraphy, but I'll ask.

[dragoonrouge]

Excellent. The more the merrier right :)

[iamnotgod]

I suppose so.

[And then he gives in and sends an emote with a halo above its head. You have continued to succeed in cheering him up, Sadie!]

[dragoonrouge]
