High Day
e51896
After letting her know what’s going on after a particularly catchy song, and ensuring her that the convo won’t last too long, he sets his laptop up over on the vanity and investigates who is calling him. It seems like Indolent_G3ar_57 was the one who got back to him through the personal messaging. August proceeds to join in the conversation.
: Hi, eg0-n1matic. Sorry for the late response. I’ve been taking a nap ever since I got into an argument with ex@sperat3d10/10.
: And you didn’t set your status to “away”?
: I was hoping she would eventually respond back with an apology, so I kept myself available for her to notify me.
: And yet you didn’t hear my response.
: Hey, it was a good nap. Ready for a voice chat?
: Can’t. I’d be interrupting my sister’s movie if I start yapping away.
May begins singing along to one of the songs from the movie.
: Not to mention I’d be doing you a favor by saving you from her singing. Text chat is fine for now.
: lol.
: What were you even arguing about? I did notice her status was set to ‘do not disturb’…
: Oh, you know if there is an argument concerning ex@sperat3d10/10 it is usually something small that she blew out of proportion.
:Yeah, probably best I don’t know, her arguments are headache inducing. btw, I got my birthday gift ready to send to Flirt@tious_Collider494. Did you get yours ready yet?
: Oh yeah, I forgot about that… when is her bday again?
:Dude, it is about a week and ½.
: Oh, that’s a relief. Plenty of time then
:Ummmm... no it isn’t. You know that getting mail to her takes a while, right?
: Haven’t you heard of “fashionably late”?
:Come on, you’re going to make my birthday gift look the best by default if you aren’t even going to try.
: It isn’t a competition y’know? And besides, you’re cutting it close yourself sending your gift as late as you are.
:I at least have an excuse. I couldn’t get my gift ready until it was released in stores today, and even so, I calculated when she would get her gift beforehand. I should be fine
:Good job. Also, I’m glad you’re done with the college semester
August notices that Indolent_G3ar_57 is trying to change the subject regarding him being too lazy to pick up a gift. This is usually something he does whenever there is something he doesn’t want to talk about. He decides to let it slide this time as he still needs to talk to him about what happen earlier today.
:Yeah, me too… I actually don’t really want to go outside for a while, even though tomorrow I still have to at least get the gift sent.
:I can relate. There is no need to go outside when you have internet, video games, and television.
:Well, for me it is more of the fact that some weird things happened outside today when I left the mall, and I don’t really want to go outside to deal with it until it blows over.
:Oh?
:As I was leaving the mall with the gift for Flirt@tious, I heard a sound of something electrical over the bridge facing the highway just outside the mall. And as I looked out the bridge, you wouldn’t believe what I saw!
:What was it?
:On the highway, there was a large ball of light in the middle of the street, kind of like a dome that cars were trying to drive around, driving as fast as they could away from it… I only caught a glimpse of it, but I think it was growing, and consuming whatever vehicles near it that didn’t manage to drive around it.
:Hmm… Maybe somebody accidentally dropped or crashed into something high voltage causing an electrical explosion?
:I do not know, but I did not stay to find out, so I ran as fast as I could towards a trolley far away from there and back to my home. Oh yeah, and all the lights that were like, in a mile radius of the ball of light was flickering and getting brighter. It was scary. There were other people that were running and driving away too!
:Huh… weird. I’ve never heard of anything like that happening before, so I don’t know what to tell you.
:Yeah, they didn’t even mention anything happening in the PA system either… and that’s not all, as soon as I managed to get away from it in the trolley and made it close to my home, I felt like I was being followed…
:Followed? Maybe you’re just paranoid after what happened…
:Maybe… but I kept hearing noises or seeing glimpses of moving shadows around me.
:You think the person may have wanted to steal your gift?
:Unless they followed me out of the mall, I don’t think so. I kept my gift in my inventory, so they shouldn’t have been able to see it. And not only that, it didn’t just feel like I was being stalked by one person, but rather… multiple people.
:Yikes! well, I’m glad you made it home safely. Hope you can find a way to send your gift over tomorrow, but really, maybe you should just wait it out until you get more information about what is going on, Yeah?
:Ugh, I really don’t want my gift to be late though…
:Priorities, man… Um, hey, listen, I am hearing some kind of mechanically thumping somewhere in my home… it has been going on and off all day, but it seems to be pretty loud this time around. I think I need to check up on it so I can shut off that annoying noise.
:Alright. I’ll be waiting here. Be careful.
:You too. Just give me a few minutes.
August decides to listen to the music from the musical as he browses the internet and waits for Indolent_G3ar_57 to return. He seems to be taking longer than he said he’d return, but knowing him, he probably got distracted by a video game, or something on the internet to procrastinate on before he gets back to him. Typical...
