[What were the things that made her happy?

She racked her brain, pulling ideas out one by one, straining against the cobwebs of her lazy thoughts.

Maybe happiness is a muscle. You have to tend to it, work on it, keep it healthy and limber. You find the things that make you smile and practice those passions, before you forget why it is they cheered you up and buoyed you throughout the day.

And after a long time of disuse, you find that the happiness you used to have is out of reach. Before you know it, it's been weeks or months. Too long.

But you start small, go easy, work those muscles back into form. Day by day. Thought by thought. With determination and a single-mindedness that shuts the darker things away.

Baby steps down a long road.]

I think I actually went home for a day.

It's all kind of muddled up in my head. Sorta like a reverse-vacation.

A noitacav!

So... what's new? ...Besides the lizardly adjustments.

i'll live.

[He got slashed up by someone with a scythe and can't remember what happened or who did it, but...yeah. He's fine. Completely fine.]

you ok?

Wasn't asking if you'll live...

Wowser ok that came off so badly
but you get what I mean, right? [Cue facepalm.]

and yes, I think so..?

you just kinda disappeared for a while there.
thought maybe you

[Went home. Like Chloe.]

[Yeah, nice topic change there, Tim. Don't think she missed it.]

Think I did for a day...

But mostly it was extreme levels of introversion. Off the charts. Over 9000!

You know. [She bets he knows.]

9000 what?

[He's...not the memester Alex Kralie was. Never got out enough for something like that. Sorry, Max.]

Uh
chart
9000 charts
duh

[She's pretty sure it's 'power level', but entry into meme-hood is fraught with trolls. She's just playing her part.]

oh.

[That...doesn't really explain anything, but that's fine. Probably. He doesn't need an explanation.]

same, i guess.

I think last time we talked you were a-okay.

yeah well
i was a little bit too ok actually.

[Funny story about that.]

I feel like theres a story there.

a little bit yeah.
it's complicated.

[And super not something he's going to disclose to the network, publicly, now that Jay can see everything.]

alright i get it. stop prying maxine. Sheesh! ^_^

[All the same, she opens up a private channel.]

I wasn't paying all that much attention, but I couldve sworn someone said 'Alex Kralie' recently.

[She opens a private channel instead. Which...good. That's better. He can deal with that; for all intents and purposes, from an external perspective, the conversation simply died there.]

someone else from home showed up.
old college friend of alex's.

wait didnt he show up ages ago? Like.. months or sonething?

he did.
then he disappeared.

and now he's back.

[Confused yet? Because Tim sure is having a great time over this.]

[Definitely confusing. But at least she'd never been close to that other guy...]

aaand thats... a bad thing?

it's complicated.
it might be

he

things were weird with him and alex
just as a warning

...well alex was a little off the wall with everyone. so its probs relative right? how weird was 'weird'?

something like that i guess.
alex levels of weird.

[He tackled Tim, reopened his wound, and tried to strangle him within minutes of seeing him again. So that's the level of "weird" they're dealing with.]

Can I just say

this sounds like a mystery i DONT want to solve.

[Oh thank god]

probably for the best.
i just figured you should get a warning

since you

knew alex and everything

yeah

thanks

uh, maybe this is something you shouldnt have your hands in either..?

I can't leave him.

[That's where he draws the line. He's already abandoned Jay one too many times; he's not making that mistake again.]

cue shrug

okay Alex

just be careful. Like always.

...

i meant tim

obviously.
