@lunariantales i won’t concern myself so much, then.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

shot of bourbon it is. goodnight.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

need to be up in four hours for a call with a judge. taking melatonin to sleep faster risks not waking up in time. not taking it risks falling asleep late.

—-oh, like gelatin gummies. probably will be fine.

my cat, wizard, accidentally ate a pack of haribos while i was at work.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

that makes the accent make sense.

@lunariantales suit yourself. there’s too many queer labels that get cornered into a trope in my opinion.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@lunariantales … fair point, however,

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

william. nice to properly meet you, william.

[𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘳 ☻ @Vretanxs]

William Ya— Yak. Like the animal.

@ST0RlEBREVl young people are easy like that, i guess.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

remind me your name again? …

if ever you’re interested, i’m an animal welfare attorney. i do a lot of work with uh, critters.

[𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘳 ☻ @Vretanxs]

The kind you would want around here.

I'm retired so....I have been spending my time researching other things.

Better one of those than a rattle snake.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@ST0RlEBREVl hit me with some of the good nicknames.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@lunariantales i just think it’s a played out, reductive kind of stereotype. be mean, but it’s not because you’re a lesbian.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

are you?

( hands on hips, a dimpled smile. talking about animals is one of the only times he really does smile, )

milk snakes are non venomous, and they only have tiny teeth, so. pretty harmless. kinda cowardly.

[𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘳 ☻ @Vretanxs]

Oh.

Yes. I am a fan of ...Critters. Harmless snake that is.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@ST0RlEBREVl well i’d prefer honey to fucking idiot too.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@lunariantales who said that?

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@unendiing … oh you’re broke broke.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@ST0RlEBREVl you call your twenty somethings honey?

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

( he looks up, seeing his neighbor— and waves, approaching the fence, )

oh, hello. its ripley, uh, connor.

that was a milk snake—they’re all over the place out here.

[𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘳 ☻ @Vretanxs]

... What kind of snake is it, Mr....?

(He's bad with names . Must have came with age)

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@unendiing you haven’t even lost it yet. go spend time on your boat before they repo it.

[𝒸onnor 𝓇ipley, 𝘦𝘴𝘲. @PORTlNASTORM]

@unendiing oh get up. the floor is filthy.

( scrunches the corner of his nose in disgust, )
