Be honest with me, is Z the real boss of Prescott? I'm picturing you cutting out paper chains, don't ruin it for me if you actually aren't.
Magic punch made, dorky present obtained, pretty good. Do you think I should bring one of the board games? I know it'll need to be a quieter party than usual.
I'd say so, but she lets the other bosses thing they're in charge 'cause she's charitable like that. I'll have you know I'm an expert paper chain maker.
That sounds amazing! Maybe bring a board game, just in case? I think Court'll just appreciate that everyone made it out here to celebrate her.
Thanks! I slept for like, 48 hours after busting my ass all week and actually feel semi-functional? I'm trying to figure out a way to make that permanent. I was seriously having heart palpitations and shit.
Yeah, it was incredibly sweet of him. They were? Are? tight so he's still the one here who knows her best. As for me? I have no idea. Maybe I dream of getting wasted and someone taking my phone away. What about you?
Well, shit. I know you lot are figuring out how to do all that you do for everyone without keeling over yourselves, but. I wish I could help in some way, are you training someone to maybe help you lighten the load?
I think we're lucky in a lot of ways to have gotten the chance to build the families we have in these communities. But I won't lie, I'm jealous of you and Arlo and the people who have someone from before. Or maybe it's better not to have anyone who knew me in highschool.
That sure sounds like a party. Where I lived in Seattle, we had a great rooftop. A landlord who didn't care how loud the music played and a lot of people looking to celebrate the start of summer.
I talked to Arwen about it, but everyone then everyone decided to go on a suicide mission and it got kinda sidetracked. I'm kinda worried about what'll happen to the rest of you if/when I die.
Yeah, I'm pretty lucky. Honestly, I doubt I'd still be around any more if I didn't have Z. I'm kinda glad I don't have anyone who knew me in high school, though. You never know though—you might find someone from your past eventually? Seattle's not that far away, and people from there are scrappy.
I think I just want one night where I don't feel responsible for anyone else. I miss rooftop parties, though. Those were the best. I wonder if we ever crossed paths and don't even know?
Well we have some time now, with this mandatory quiet time. I think you take on enough responsibility to worry about what everyone will do if that were to happen. Beck's idea about consolidating all that knowledge into a library, might be good too?
Th And proud of it. I'm from Oregon actually, so far no familiar faces. What was Niko like in high school?
Depends, do you remember having possibly the best tacos in your life on a rooftop in June?
Yeah, that's a good point. I've had to postpone the health check-ins for now, so maybe now's a good time to see where Arwen's at. Beck's idea was great, too—I'd sleep a little better at night knowing everything I know is written down somewhere, although I'm still gonna have nightmares about people getting hurt and my being unable to fix them, or me getting hurt and nobody being able to fix me. Comes with the territory.
I remembered the Oregon thing, but I'm still counting you among the scrappiest of the scrappy folk! Good Lord, what was I like? Got top grades but hated school 'cause it bored me. Worked at my parents's restaurant on the rougher side of Chicago. Never started a fight, but I sure could finish 'em. You?
You know what? Possibly, yeah. Did they have that mango salsa?

Do you know if she has a favourite? I can ask Arlo too.
DM 11/17
You know what? I'm not sure. He might know, though.
DM 11/17
I'll talk to him then. Sweet of him to make Court her favourite foods, the party. What does your ideal birthday party look like?

Yeah, it was incredibly sweet of him. They were? Are? tight so he's still the one here who knows her best. As for me? I have no idea. Maybe I dream of getting wasted and someone taking my phone away. What about you?
