hey.
settling in okay, all things considered?

[aldhani]

All things considered.

[it is, actually, a lot better than where he'd been, for many reasons.]

I know it was short notice, even if you'd offered, and I appreciate it.

[revvedup]

No problem, I have the room. Not like anyone else was taking me up on the offer.

[ she's joking, trying to keep things light. but she does like knowing he's here as opposed to the tents. ]

[aldhani]

I don't know if Jondy agrees that you have the room. She sits everywhere I do, like there isn't any more space to be found.

[he's doing the same, trying to keep things light — or doing his best, anyway.]

[pathologise]

i have a free evening and a new bed
interested?

[aldhani]

In what, helping you to move it?

[he is, at least, back to sending messages like these.]

I think I can fit that into my schedule.

[pathologise]

i was thinking trying it out
break it in
sex

[aldhani]

[on his end, there's a brief huff of amusement. this is what he likes about adrienne; she's direct.]

I think I can also fit that in. It happens that I have a free evening, too.

[you know, since he got out of jail]

[revvedup]

hey.

you gonna be back soon?

this is perfect tbh

[aldhani]

I'll be back soon.

[these things are hard to tell over text, but there's something about the tone that makes cassian pause. enough to ask:]

Is everything okay?

good <333

[revvedup]

okay. good.

[ she’s tempted to leave it there but the fact that he’s asking makes her feel guilty about lying. ]

yeah. mostly.

[aldhani]

[if her first message had given him a hint of suspicion, this one is practically a confirmation: mostly translates to some version of no. wasting seconds speculating about how that's a no would be just that, a waste, so he starts walking a little faster.]

Let me know if there's anything I need to do.

After you passed out and we were detained, you never woke up.
Then someone came and collected you for your dominant.

I have no idea whether or not you've come out of the coma, or why what they hit you with was so lasting.

Please follow up with me when you are able.

[aldhani]

[the username isn't familiar, and that gives him some pause. but, in reading the message — he knows who this is: the man who'd been hassled by the SIN guards on the street for wearing mandalorian armor, who'd been with him just before he'd lost consciousness. there's a twinge of guilt in him at the realization.

he doesn't take long with the reply, though.]

That happens sometimes here. People go to sleep for a few days, but as far as I've heard, no one knows why.

[they go to sleep and sometimes wake up with memories, but cassian doesn't mention that part.]

It hasn't been long since I woke up.

[fettgotra]

Are you okay?

[aldhani]

[it's a simple question that doesn't have such a simple answer. i'm alive, he starts to type, but then erases it. in its place, he just answers:]

I am.

[there are other things to talk about, anyway. other questions to ask.]

How long did they hold you?

[he hopes the answer isn't they still are, but he also wouldn't put anything past this place.]

[revvedup]

you happen to get the notification on our assigned kink of the month?

[aldhani]

Hard to miss.

[as always.]

[revvedup]

by design, yeah.

do you want to be the subject or should i?

[cryptofascist]

The house is in lockdown.
Keep everyone calm if you can.

[ This is the first message he's sent. The username change is, uh, not a good sign. ]

This is Lorca.

@faker_1

[aldhani]

[this is a worrying message to get, both because of what it says, and the change in the user name attached.]

We'll keep the party going for as long as possible. That can buy some time, and no one will think anything of it.

[that's when he notices the change to his own. faker 1]

Do you think they were caught?

[cryptofascist]

[ A quick scan tells him the usernames are not a network-wide issue. They've been targeted. Subterfuge is of no use anymore. ]

We lost contact once they made it to the barrier.
I've got security scouring for any overlooked exits.
