[OOC] Folkmore IC Inbox

[ Instead of a welcome message, there's just muffled noises as Hunter tries and fails to get his comm to do what he wants it to do. ]

[ SURE DO … Hunter pokes at the one with the towel. And. Ah. Winces. ]

How do you think he’ll react?

Uh... it's a toss-up, if I were to guess. Either he'll be really interested in the science aspect of it, or he won't care at all because it's magic cloning. Might ask for a blood sample. The heart thing would fascinate him. He's a science nerd and you're a new subject to examine. Same as everyone else.

[In other words, nothing darker than that. No reason for him to go eww, grimwalker and reject Hunter entirely.]

[ Okay, that’s mildly creepy? But not a BAD reaction, probably?? Plus … ]

He knew me before anyway. The other me. So - maybe it won’t be so bad.

[Par for the course for Donnie.]

Oh, that's right! He said the other you was a lab assistant. I wonder if he already knows about the grimwalker thing.

He - he might. So. It’ll be fine if he finds out more about me.

[ A pause. ]

What’s a lab assistant…?

It's kind of in the name- it's what I do when I go to his place. We go to the lab, and I assist him. A lot of it is managing his data, running menial tasks, doing the easy stuff so he can focus on the big picture.

… Oh. That’s - really easy then. I did that for Belos all the time.

That makes sense. And Donnie's not evil.

[Occasionally channels his inner-supervillain, but that's different.]

R-right, he seemed nice from the … two comments I exchanged with him?

That's a great record for Donnie!

[Usually he's dismissive and blase! Nice is an improvement!]

—- Really?

[ he’s concerned?? ]

Yeah! I mean, he's a good person, but his version of nice doesn't always mesh with the usual version. It's just how he is. Most of us are used to it.

Oh.

Well - as long as he’s a good person, I guess.

I promise, you don't have anything to worry about.

[Or, well. Usually there is something to worry about but it's more of a "what crazy thing is he doing now" rather than "this person is malicious towards me". Crazy brother vibes, not evil uncle vibes.]

[ Look. Hunter will TAKE it. Anyway, he nods. ]

Are we calling him then…?

I'll text him, hang on. He might take some time to get back to me and he doesn't like phone calls.

[Putting aside the jar to bring out his relic and toss off a quick text for Donnie. It's in god's hands now.]

Oh right. Uh - that makes sense.

And it’s still not urgent, so.

[Casey glances from the jar, to Hunter, then back again. Finally, offers an arm out. Boyfriend hug? This has been a wild couple of minutes.]

Want to veg for a while? Get those things out of sight, watch a movie or do more sewing, whatever... quit thinking about it.

[ Boyfriend hugs are SORELY needed. Hunter gladly leans in and clings for a moment. ]

I - uh - yeah. I’d really like that, honestly.

[He's getting the best of 'em. Big hug. Today started so strong, and he doesn't want this to ruin the day entirely. It's still Christmas, after all.]

Got a preference? I'll keep an eye on my relic, let you know as soon as we can get things moving with whatever this is. The rest is your pick. Whatever's gonna cheer you up.

[ It SURE is. And this, while unpleasant, doesn't have to be resolved today. ]

Are there human movies that are specific to this holiday?

[Plenty more days for this. And Casey is well used to this sort of thing not being resolved quickly. In his world they worked twenty years and never found a cure for Krang infections. This seems like a much simplier problem to solve.]

I watched some Christmas movies with Rue, so I know about some of them. There's still lots I haven't watched. We can look them up and see if they're any good.

Then - one of those? I think that'd be nice.

[ Hunter winds up bumping Casey's shoulder gently. ]

[Casey bumps back with a soft smile, coaxing him back over to the couch, which he nudges into place and gestures for Hunter to sit again.]

I'll get rid of these [he gestures towards the jars, out of sight, out of mind!] and get a movie going, so just get comfy. You took care of me, now it's my turn.

... All right. I - um - I really appreciate it, Casey.

[ The words sound hollow in his ears, but the sentiment is true. He can't bear to look at either of the doom jars right now. ]
