This is Brendan Frye. If it's urgent, you might have a better chance o' tracking me down on foot. If I'm not answering, chances are I've gotten in over my head with something, not that I'm refusin' to give you the time of day. So leave me some words and I'll get back to you as soon as I don't have a fire to put out.

1. they are safely stored

2. i built them pre-therapy, pre-medication

3. i have a right to want to protect my friends from the dangers this place has

4. given i'm the only one who knows how to detonate them, the only person likely to get killed by them are potential intruders/clones/supervillains or me.

5. nice of you to remember i exist, angel-hair.

1. safely stored. without your housemates knowing about them.

2. congrats on talking to someone at least.

3. i understand that, BUT

4. it's the last part i'm worried about!!!

5. i'm sorry. i should have talked to you sooner.

6. how did you even learn to build pipe bombs, anyway???

7. did you find the rabbits?

7b. without hurting anyone?

[pale_blue_arrow]

1. i'm not used to having other people in the house + safely stored is still safely stored at the end of the day.

2.-4. i am trying to piece myself together and if you'd lost as many people as i have you'd get why, pre-meds and therapy, this made sense at the time.

5. don't worry, i'm not exactly a beacon of social graces myself.

6. it's all about knowing who to ask. back home anyway, not here, i wouldn't know who to ask here.

7. yes, + one quoll.

7b. one rabbit has a hurt paw and the baby quoll's siblings are all dead so i called the cops and then got the animals to a vet. couldn't case the building without leaving the bunnies or the quoll alone so fuck it. laws actually apply to natives, so they can suck it and go face jail time for all i care.

7c. anyone who puts baby animals and stolen animals in trash bags and leaves them in a dumpster would have absolutely deserved it if i decked them and i will not pretend otherwise.

1. don't your housemates have a say in whether or not you keep bombs?

1b. especially since one of them is some kind of space soldier?

2-4 (+6?). look, you aren't the only person here who's lost someone. you should really talk to your housemates about this. they'll understand more than you give them credit for.

7c. i wouldn't hold it against you if you did tbh.

[pale_blue_arrow]

1. i see that NOW, yes. i didn't at the time.

1b. he's already yelled at me about how i don't care about anyone and he's decided to take care of detonating them without even asking how to do it safely, so... this sort of proves my point that once you've made the damn things, there's no alerting over people to that fact.

2-4. see above for how well they understood this.

7c. the surviving baby quoll is making a full recovery, at least. i've named her scarlet.

[andtherevolution]

wait, hold on. where is he detonating them???

[pale_blue_arrow]

he wouldn't tell me. also i'm not sure he listened when i explained they need to be detonated in water to be harmless so idk at this point.

[andtherevolution]

if he blows himself up you can crash at my place until the nanites put him back together. just no more bombs ok?

p.s. the quoll can come too

[pale_blue_arrow]

i don't have the budget or motivation to make more bombs. but if he sets something off in the house i might get creative with a broken bottle and make him regret endangering scarlet.

scarlet. the quoll is named scarlet and she is perfection.

[andtherevolution]

[And nowww he's threatening to maim someone. Creatively. Let's, uh, try to bring this back a little]

look

if he's scared of how dangerous the bombs are

then he's not going to just go poking at them for the hell of it

he'll want to keep himself and everyone else safe

including scarlet

and the other animals
