It's been two months. How much longer do I need to show good behaviour for




Miss

Ishmael?

[ ♪ ]

[wheft]

[ he jests but -- ]

One more month. Just to make sure you're sticking around for the long term.

[ yeah. ]

[transmit]

Are you this strict with everyone, or do I have the honour of being an exception?

[wheft]

No, I gave the same time limit to people like March too.

[transmit]

[ … ]

… That's bleak, wow.

Will you move the bar up if someone disappears at the three month mark?

[wheft]

I doubt that's going to change anytime soon. For now, it's a good compromise. If they stayed around for more than three months, that's great! But if it's less, then... at least my time with them wasn't wasted.

[ her abandonment issues......... ]

[transmit]

I'll do my best to exceed that measure, then.

But you're right that there aren't any guarantees. Haha.

[wheft]

But I thought your... condition is stable right now. Dismissals aside.

[transmit]

[ oh…

he's actually kind of surprised that she remembers. well! good thing they aren't in person for her to catch his surprise. ]

I meant if anything gets me first it'll be the kaiju
Or disappearing out of nowhere
The first I can control, the second not so much

But yeah, it is stable. It's really not an issue

[ probably! ]

[wheft]

Well, you'd better stay alive till the time limit is up.

It'd be too bad if you just went up and disappear one day after everything.

[transmit]

Got it.
Wouldn't want to disappoint my first friend here

[wheft]

First what??

voice

[transmit]

[ ish will regret asking for clarification ]

I wouldn't want to disappoint my first friend here!

voice

[wheft]

All right, all right! I get it! You don't have to say it twice...

[ she regrets this so much bro.......... ]

voice

[transmit]

[ heheh. ]

Thanks for the chat, Ishmael. See you around.

[ as tempted as he is to say "in a month," he… isn't the sort to make those promises.

but now with her hung up on, she's freed to think about her life decisions ]
