[Hey squadmate, guess what time it is? Weird texts from your new BFF o'clock.]

dude why haven't any scientists invented lightsabers yet?
i mostly mean in my world but also this one, like, i feel like we're sleeping on lightsabers.
you should invent me a lightsaber.

this is everything i have ever wanted

[completelycrazy]

Dude right? It's not possible where I'm from but seems like anything goes here.
Like there's people that can turn into dragons??? and some chick was like conjuring lightning and stuff. It's crazy.
Hm I bet theres a way to harness that lightning energy. I'll look into it.

[or yknow they could just go fuckin talk to anakin skywalker but look he's not in the squad.]

thank god honestly

[armcollector]

was it lup?
she mostly does fire but sometimes she does lightning stuff.
newt it's ok it's just magic, but i think most importantly
the fact that lightsabers aren't possible in your world is a sin.
that's sinful.

How much science do you know?

[completelycrazy]

[Oh no, don't invite him to brag like this...]

Uhh. A lot? That's a weird way to ask that.
I have 4 phds in biology and 2 in mechanical engineering. I may as well have a 7th in Kaiju specific xenobiology but go figure theres no official program for that. The first breach happened well after my days a student.
So I guess if there was a program for K Science Id just be running it.
That answer your question?

Newton. Do you mind if I ask what time you were planning on coming home?

And would you mind making it sooner than that?

[completelycrazy]

[UH. HM.]

What? Why?

[Newt is having a nervous?]

[originallutece]

Newton--

I know I promised you I wouldn't write you a letter, but since when have I bothered to listen to anyone but my own whims? Honestly, I'm more surprised you thought you could order me about; clearly, a year here has taken its toll. You're in strong need of someone else to tell you what to do.

I hope this proves, if nothing else, that I truly was there with you. I left a message on one of your plants; further proof. It isn't anything I'd ordinarily say, just so you can have confirmation it isn't your mind hallucinating a false version of me (though before you leer, no, it isn't anything filthy).

[There's a fairly large blot of ink, as though she'd held a pen there for a while.]

Given this is a letter, I suppose I can give in to sentiment. Things I wouldn't allow myself to say if things were normal-- but then again, they aren't normal, are they? Of all the monsters I thought we might face over our time working together, I admit I never imagined we might find ourselves in another world. Not like this. I thought we might die in the Shatterdome; I thought we might end up poisoned from your filthy kaiju bits. I even thought that perhaps we might face the extinction of our species. But I did not count on having to find you after a year of separation.

Nor did I count on what I found.

This place has taken its toll on you, Newt. I could tell that from the moment I laid eyes on you. And I know you don't want to admit it-- perhaps you won't, even now, and are scoffing at me through this letter. But I advise you to remember how often I'm right, and how well I've grown to know you. This place is eating you alive.

The kaiju did as well. But then, at least, it was a worthy sacrifice. I bit my tongue and said nothing, in no small part because I was doing the same thing; because it was a necessary loss. But here in this strange world, Newt . . . take care of yourself. I realize the irony of my saying that, but I do mean it. Take care of yourself, and take care not to give these gods too much of what they want. If they thrive on emotion, on souls, then be certain that you don't give yours entirely away. Your curiosity matches mine, and I know how badly you want to know everything, but keep in mind there's no way to get back what they take. And you aren't the only one here. Let others help. Let others sacrifice bits of themselves, their emotions, their souls, whatever it is these creatures feast upon.

I miss you. Or rather . . . I suppose I know you'll miss me, and I'm sorry I can't be there with you. I truly am. It seems wildly unfair that I should get to return to you, and yet you remain here. But take heart: your appearance means that you do return. Perhaps with your memories intact; perhaps not. But I can tell you full well that I've seen you, spoken to you, spent several hours with you . . . and unless you do something incredibly foolish, that future will not change.

You said these are yearly occurrences. It follows, then, that if you don't find me before a year is up, I'll find you. That isn't much, I know. But it's something.

Take care of yourself, Newton. I urge you again only to underscore the point. If I come back in a year and find you a mess, I shan't be happy. And may I remind you, I tend to spread my unhappiness around.

I'll see you soon. And you'll see me in less than a year.

R. L.

[completelycrazy]

GOD right?? Ughhh some people in this city are so SO stupid I swear...
I guess I'm glad for the stupidity though all this arguing is keeping me warm.

[redwinekindofgirl]

[So, it's been a while, but--]

Nice work with those asshats.

[completelycrazy]

[Oh yeah, he knows exactly what she's talking about.]

Lol thanks. I don't know what theyre smoking but they're wrong on like twelve different levels. More than probably I lost count.
Which hey! If you're gonna be stupid on your own time then go ham yknow?
But I hope they haven't gotten anyone else to drink the god sabotage koolaid.

[redcosmedic]

I've been told you're someone to speak to in regards to the Null remains that are here. Is that correct?

[completelycrazy]

Oh, uh, sure. What's up?

[...]

[nonscriptum]

started an expedition out to the mountains a week and a half ago, we found what we originally thought was a bunker

there's some seriously disturbing shit out here

get back to me asap

[completelycrazy]

Uhhh this is an alarming text to get jsyk.
Whatd you find?

[Action] Sometime early in Newt's Nautilus plan

[bespectacledsnake]

It is about midday when Semiyon slinks into the doorway of Newt's bedroom, resting casually against the doorframe with an expression that suggests he's half distracted with the issue he's come to discuss, and half trying to decide what he will be having for dinner.

"Newton."

[completelycrazy]

Newt, meanwhile, is dicking around on the network. He came in here to take a nap because he realized he hadn't slept in like... well, a while, but he's still too wired to sleep. He's just sprawled out in bed scrolling through his phone.

"I'm busy."

He's not.

[originallutece]

Do you have room in your house for another roommate?

[completelycrazy]

[It's, like, a little bit creepy that Rosalind happens to message him on that day that Semiyon disappears, but... It's probably just a coincidence, right?]

Uhh probably? The guy that was here was maybe sent home. Idk he wasn't here when I got up and I havent seen him all day and his name isn't in my phone anymore sooo

[So that tends to be the marker for someone getting booted from the city. It's a bummer, really. He liked Semiyon.

But we're not here to dwell on feelings. That'd be gross.]

We have a spare bedroom anyway if he does come back or something.
Wait Im assuming you're requesting for you?
