UN: ecraig

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I've been watching it. If that's who the Black Order hires to settle arguments, no wonder so many Guardians are quick to violence.

[HE'S JUST SAYING IT OK. DUDE'S UNSETTLING]

But thanks for letting us know. If you guys need a place to get away, you're always welcomed at our house.

[switchaxe]

it's a hot fucking mess and I got other shit to deal with.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I understand. Just ignore him. He can find trouble he's looking for just fine on his own.

But hey, I got some good news! I had a nice talk with Dr. Rosewood. He sent me a list of different therapists in the area that "won't go running", like you said. He even helped do a background check with them, but also said that it'd be alright if you wanted to bring Jusis or Rean with you, just in case.

You don't have to do anything about it right now, but I'm going to send you the email so you can handle it when you're ready, okay?

[switchaxe]

[Oh dammit, Elliot figured him out. Bastard.

Still...he's trying? And Ash is tired.]

kay. might be a bit and I'm gonna want your help but thanks El

[fiddlestick]

That's no problem. Take your time and when you're ready, I'll be happy to help.

[noblerise]

Generally speaking, he's meant to make sure that we're staying in line. The Order doesn't give a damn about their own reputation since it means less people will get in the way.

That's appreciated, and I may take you up on that offer. Fortunately, house hunting will take up much of my time this month, so this is aligning well enough.

[fiddlestick]

What a charming organization.

[DRIPPING WITH SARCASM]

That is good timing. Oh, and there's something else to look forward to this month! Rean's birthday is on the 7th!

[noblerise]

Even sarcastically, I can't bring myself to say "I love it here."

Oh, is it? I'm glad that I ordered his birthday gifts early. Will you be hosting a small celebration or is this going to be more private?

[By "private," he means "between Rean and Elliot."]

[fiddlestick]

Well...that depends on the birthday boy.

@ Rean, do you want a small celebration or would you like something that's just the three of us?

[motiv8]

[Oh! Selling him out like this... Elliot, please...]

Oh, um...

I guess something small with just us three is fine. I really wasn't planning to do much of anything this year, given how wild everything's been, but something low-key could work too.

[switchaxe]

I'll send whatever I get you with Albarea

[noblerise]

[💧 Jusis did not expect to be in on the private celebration. He really, really should've, but everyone knows why he didn't.]

Fair enough. Stop by on Saturday at the latest. I'll make sure Rean gets your gifts, Ash.

Let me know when I should come over.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, that's sweet of you Ash. Sorry to leave you out, but he is turning 21 so...

[There's going to be drinking]

Maybe in the evening?

[noblerise]

Perhaps around 6 or 7? I can come around earlier if that's preferred, of course.

[motiv8]

No, that sounds good to me! We can order in something a little nicer and just have a nice night to ourselves.

...and, you know, my first legal drink. That too, haha.

[noblerise]

I'd be happy to take half of the bill for dinner, in that case.

I can understand that. It was quite an adjustment I had to make when I moved to the US. I had just become of age to drink harder liquors in Germany, but moving here meant I could only drink privately if I was desperate enough.

[Which he's not. Jusis is more of a social drinker.]

[fiddlestick]

Really? Aw, thanks Jusis! You know what that means, Rean - order anything you really want! We can afford to eat fancy with Jusis donating!

[HE'S TEASING REALLY]

Boy I can imagine. I'm not that big of a drinker, but if I suddenly lost my ability to drink because I moved.[Not that it would've actually stopped him, but Ash doesn't need to hear that]

[motiv8]

[dsfas ELLIOT PLEASE.]

Thanks, Jusis! You really don't have to, but I appreciate it.

Oof, yeah. [He briefly considers his wording, remembering Ash can read this. Well, little white lies...] I don't see myself being that big of a drinker myself, but I'd be pretty mad if I were legal one day and then not the next.

[noblerise]

Consider it part of my gift to you, Rean. That being said, I see I've corrupted Elliot into having a taste for 'fancy' food.

[He'll tease you right back, sir!!

Jusis is also calling bullshit on the pair not having drank anything underage, but he'll let them have this.]

Indeed. In Germany, you can start drinking beer and wine publicly at 16. It's a very different culture, certainly. When I was in college, disclosing where I was born and raised meant that I got dragged into debates on the legal age of alcohol more times than I could count. The majority was in good fun, though tiring for me, but there were a handful of bad faith debates as well.

[fiddlestick]

You showed me a whole new world. A dazzling place outside of MREs and instant ramen. 🎶

And that sounds...really tiring. You like debating more, but I'm sure I'd get sick of that real fast.

[noblerise]

I'll consider it a vast improvement of your quality of life if it means those MRE abominations are off the table.

I certainly got sick of the topic. As much as I like to debate, I do enjoy variety in the issue that's being discussed.

[motiv8]

Even I'll admit there's a wonderful world outside of instant ramen every night. Begrudgingly, of course. ♪

MREs... if I never have to eat one of those again, it'll be too soon. Your dad definitely has... interesting tastes, Elliot.

[switchaxe]

aren't MREs those gross military meal things?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, they are.

When my dad was home, he'd make me have them for dinner once a week because "you should value gaining proper nutrition over taste".

It probably would've been more than once a week, but I think my sister put her foot down.

[motiv8]

Wait, he WHAT?

I thought he only pulled those things out for camping! At least there, it kind of made sense!
