Some of them.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

like connor?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Yeah.
Like Connor.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i hope he's okay.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

So do I.

You know he thought once he disappeared he'd get to go home.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i know a lot of people think that.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

What do you think?

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i think i don't know if i wanna go home.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

You don't?

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i'm tied up in a basement waiting to become a virgin sacrifice. i'm not exactly dying to go back home.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Seriously?
Does Soeki know that?

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

maybe? i dunno... i think i might've mentioned it to him. or maybe i didn't. it's not like something i talk about a lot.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I think you'd know if he did know.
I can't believe how messed up your life is.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

do i have to tell him? he already knows how fucked up my life back home is.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Of course not.
You don't have to tell anyone anything you don't want to.

I'm sorry.
I wish this was something I knew how to help with.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i just don't want him to worry so much.

... there's something you might be able to do. you know a lot about like, technology and hacking and shit, right?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I know.
Trust me.
I get that.

Maybe don't mention the hacking part to people, but yes.
How does that help?

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

at school our cell phones don't work. if they're like, blocking them or something could you teach me how to unblock it?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Sure.
You'll have to tell me a little more so I can figure out what the problem's likely to be caused by.
But that sounds like something I could help with.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i can write down everything i know. maybe you'll figure it out. it'd help so much if we could at least contact people outside the school.

<mothman>

[catphishing]

Yeah. Of course.
I don't know if anything I figure out here will be useful if you get back home, but I'll try.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

thank you. anything will help, seriously. it's not like i have any idea of what i should be trying.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Lucky for you I do.
Let me know everything you can, I'll figure out what's wrong.
Then we can talk.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

cool. god, if we could just get the phones working that'd be huge. it'd change everything.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I'm going to do my best.
I promise.
