[commedia]

Very overwhelmed.

They said we could text Avatars so I wanted to give it a try with you.

[probe]

makes sense...death does that, i guess
but you got me! luca texted me a while ago, but i haven't heard much about what's going on where you are
but i'm glad to hear from you

[commedia]

It looks like we just have Despair and Sloth sometimes...I guess you and the rest can't visit because of the nature of the place?

I guess I'm glad to hear from you too even if this is the first time we've actually talked...

[probe]

oh...the shift happened? :o
it's really you now?
the rest of us can visit, sometimes! i think...it's a little harder for some of us than others though. envy has an easier time, and so do despair and sloth. but it's possible

[commedia]

Yes, its me. Limbo is gone, I think.

Envy...I see. I'm a little scared to talk to Envy, honestly.

[probe]

i don't blame you. after everything...it's a lot to swallow
but you wouldn't have done it if it weren't limbo's doing, would you?
i don't think he's, like, upset with you or anything
he's more pissed at omi

[commedia]

No, why would I? It wasn't I who had feelings for Omi. "Feelings". And I would never do such a despicable thing even if I had.

Omi? Because of the way he was slighted?

[probe]

ok ok listen i am still getting to know you and not limbo! i just wanted to make sure, but i had a feeling
slighted is, like, the really nice way of putting it, but what omi did was totally and irreparably crush envy's soul! it was terrible and mean and stupid! especially when he was the one who was nice and flirting with envy to start with when you guys got here

[commedia]

I didn't realize it was that bad?

I'm glad I'm finding this out and not Limbo...Limbo would've been quite upset to find that Envy was that heartbroken over Omi. But I suppose they had their own revenge...

Do you think I should reach out to him, even if I am not the same?

[probe]

yeah. wrath and i had to dig him out of a beanbag and forcefeed him ice cream to get him to talk to us afterwards
revenge is a word for it...but it just had to happen that way, i guess. nothing we can do to change it
i think you should reach out to him only if you really want to! but i do think he'd like to talk to you and maybe come see you

[commedia]

That's terrible...

Really? Even if I'm not the same person he knows?

[probe]

yeah. even if you're not the same, i think...it still counts
there was someone i knew once. he was really important to me, but then he disappeared for a long time. when i saw him again, he wasn't the same
but it still felt the same. he still became really, REALLY important to me
i was happy to be with him again
so even if you and limbo are different, i think envy would be happy to get to know you again, too

[commedia]

[DATE AI SOMNIUM FILES?? AAH]

I guess if you say so...I might just see if I can cheer him up...

Are you doing alright besides? You know, I reached out to you because I find you very comforting to talk to out of all of them.

[probe]

[crystal i'm crying]

envy is pretty lonely, i think. so even hinting you wanna spend time with him will help after losing his entire team
just be yourself
but i'm okay! i'm pretty glad they managed to catch law, at least, and people this week have been pretty nice so far
and that's very sweet of you! even as limbo i never minded speaking to you
you can always talk to me whenever :D

[commedia]

[i love that idiot i'm sorry ME POINTING TO MENTION OF HIM]

Being myself is harder than it sounds especially after all that but alright.

I think you should have minded more talking to Limbo but...you are the sweet one, here.

[probe]

is it? you seem to be doing an ok job with me
you know, considering the other kinds of people here? it really wasn't that bad
maybe i can come see you later, too

[commedia]

I guess you have a point. Some of those people are really scary.

Oh you would? I would be honored...thank you.

[probe]

no kidding
...what are you doing right now?
if it'll help, i can always stop by for a little bit!
less overwhelming

[commedia]

Right now? Looking at this...strange colorful light box.

Pinball machine? I think its called?

[probe]

[well. they're out of texts. they're out of texts and for a while it might seem like douman's been left on read, but it doesn't take too long before he'll hear footsteps behind him as lust enters the bar.]

You're right, it's a pinball machine. [they appear to be a bit waver-y, almost like a hologram, but they're here now!]

[commedia]

[Ah, that's fine. Lust probably has other things to do anyways than talk to the dead, and-]

[Lust suddenly enters, and Douman lets out a yelp of surprise, and drops their phone.]

A-ah! I didn't think you'd come! Lust!

[probe]

[they just laugh a little, crouching down to pick up their phone to hand it back to them. or. try. hologram...an attempt is made it's fine.]

My phone started acting weird, so I thought I'd come visit instead. Is that okay?

[commedia]

[Douman just hurriedly bows, remembering their manners.]

No, that's fine, I...

[They blush, flustered, before realizing that they can't pick up the phone. They move to reach for it themselves.]

I'm glad you're here. What do you mean, "acting weird"?

[probe]

Hmm...if I try to send too many messages it sort of just stops responding? I've been trying to figure out how it all works, but I'm not that great with fixing electronics. [they shrug!]

I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you though. [because a.) that would be rude and b.) they do like douman so it's fine.]

[commedia]

Oh.

[Oh.]

Yes, this technology is rather confusing. So...please, do not worry.

[Phones are WACK.]

How are you here like this, though? Technology, again?
