did you come here with anyone else?

okay, that’s good. that’s good.

( he doesn’t mean to be shrill, but it leaves his throat reedy anyways. he squints, readjusts his specs again— this guy’s hunched-over body only partially blocks out the buzzing fluorescents. )

( bated-breath, when he leans close to the monitor, watches this poor sap nearly topple plato’s cave-man and pit stop in the camera room.

the stray’s one of three- all separated, two barefoot- and doing considerably worse. )

boom. there you are.

[‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ⎯⎯𝐩hil. ‎ ‎‎ ✱ @imagedguilt]

do you … remember how you became not-dead?

[𝑬ɢᴏ 𝘿ᴇᴀᴛʜ (contains spoilers) @ULTERlORMOTIVE]

im uh not dead- clearly.

[‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ⎯⎯𝐩hil. ‎ ‎‎ ✱ @imagedguilt]

what the hell, sure. that’d be great, mary.

well, look, you can be my guest, but— but …

[⿻ th͟r͟o͟ugh the ͟p͟ane @thewindowwithin]

the worst they can do is tell me no. but i need your permission.

( glancing again, then readjusting his specs, then another quick steal. )

are— are you fully cognizant right now?

[‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ⎯⎯𝐩hil. ‎ ‎‎ ✱ @imagedguilt]

yep, uh- well- that’s debatable.

( they go glance-for-glance, phil’s glasses jumping off the bridge of his nose when he starts mildly. he swallows, wipes his mouth, gesticulates vaguely— gathering himself. )

i don’t know. i just … don’t know.

[⿻ th͟r͟o͟ugh the ͟p͟ane @thewindowwithin]

but i could try. it worked once for someone on the ground squad.

( arms up over his head, neck craned to peer through the overlap that separates the hapless from an only slightly more experienced fool. open palms as a landmark, and as a white flag— )

[‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ⎯⎯𝐩hil. ‎ ‎‎ ✱ @imagedguilt]

i- uh- i don’t know. this is the third time i’ve had to bail.

[⿻ th͟r͟o͟ugh the ͟p͟ane @thewindowwithin]

i see. i know you had plans this weekend, i’m sorry. will you be moving them to next?

[‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ⎯⎯𝐩hil. ‎ ‎‎ ✱ @imagedguilt]

i think we’re getting bleedthroughs. like, from other companies.
