How would I know, Ash?
[Don't lineface at him. >:c]

[Ohman, he couldn't have gotten a better text. This all still sucks, but for a moment it sucks a whole lot less because at least Sam's out; she isn't in this horrible situation anymore, and he doesn't have to worry if she's going to be found.
He's so relieved that it takes a moment to return her message, his fingers shaking a little and making it hard to type, but for a good reason this time.]
That's awesome, Sam. Are you okay?

[Congratulations, Chris. As the only person from home that Emily doesn't have excessive awkwardness, you get this lovely message today!]
i fucking HATE THIS PLACE. people are insane!

[That's okay, he's fine being the designated bitch at friend.]
Yeah no kidding.
What happened?
[He's not really expecting anything serious, just someone annoying her, which would be very little surprise either on the 'Emily being annoyed' or 'someone being annoying' fronts.]

have you seen jessica lately?
[Emily is not freaking out shut up just answer the question.]
[Emily is not freaking out shut up just answer the question.]
No, but I just woke up.

[Okay, so despite that they're some kind of technology and she'd be familiar with that sort of thing, Carlisle decides Rey is probably a terrible choice to ask about these things he found in around Colosseum. Glacius might not know anything about them, as they seem like they're probably too small for his massive, alien hands, and therefore would be foreign to him. There's no telling what Maketh knows. Maybe Miriam? Miriam would know about technology, but he hasn't called her yet to see about that dog, and he would rather do that first before springing something like this on her.
He recalls one other lad who said he came from a world without magic, so perhaps, he thinks, technology might be prevalent there. It's a worth a try, and the lad did say he knew just about everyone in town. If he doesn't know about them, surely he'll know who will. Time to give Chris a call.]
I don't mean to be a bother, Chris, but do you know anything about, er... technology? And those sorts of, ah. Things.
[Very specific.]

[Chris isn't expecting any calls so it's sort of a surprise when his phone alerts him while he's out poking around in a shop, but the distraction is a welcome one. Even more so when he realizes it's about something he actually does know something about, and can help with.]
Hey Carlisle.
Yeah, tech stuff is like, the one thing I do really know about. What's up?

[Maketh cracks a weak smile.]
Hello, Chris. I --
There's a man here. From my world. He calls himself General Hux.
Be wary of him. I'd appreciate it if you could tell your friends. Quietly, if possible.

[Well, that sounds... Ominous.]
Yeah, no problem, I'll let them know.
[A pause.]
Are you um... Are you okay?
[Because if she's warning him about someone who--presumably--just arrived then something must have happened, either here or in her world.]

It's open, Em.
[Because he can't say he's too surprised to hear the knock. He's sitting on his bed, tapping away at responses on his phone.]

[No worries, everyone is uh... A little tense. Chris' tone is similarly less light than usual.]
At my house. My friends and I are packing up stuff to head to Delight's Temple.
What about you?

everyone here is a hopeless disaster
I'm sure you didn't just now figure this out, so
What's up?
Also no kidding

[The night of the day Carlisle leaves Emily the glyph to brew up Breath of Night, Emily gets right to work. She's still new enough at glyphcrafting that this is still really cool to her when the magic works.
So she is definitely smug when she goes to Chris's room with two mugs, one for her and one for him (because honestly how can she not enjoy her own work; plus, the prospect of sleeping without dreaming of Matt is too good to pass up, since waking up without him sucks).]
Hey. [She kicks the door to announce her presence further, then walks in.] I made you sleep medicine.

[Emily he knows you were not raised in a barn what is this door kicking thing. But it's not something he cares to bitch about, even jokingly, when he sees and hears the reason for her visit.]
Yeah? You got it working?
[That isn't incredulous--of course she did--but more just impressed.]

[Poor Mello. You picked a terrible time to call, as Chris is on his way to Hope's Temple to stay for a bit on the fear that something happened to Ashley.
Still, he only sounds a bit terse and irritated rather than anything more when he responds.]
Nonexistent. Why?

[Emily feels you should know this.]
[Emily feels you should know this.]
[This is not a message Chris is expecting to get, and for a little while he's really not sure how to respond to it. Emily doesn't send messages for no reason and she wouldn't be telling him this to be unkind--he knows she's aware of how much he misses Ashley--so all he can think is that maybe she wants to talk about Ashley being gone but doesn't know how to bring it up.
Still he isn't sure what to say, but finally decides to just respond and not try to figure out what the right thing to say is. There probably is no right thing to say.]
Thanks. I'm sure it would've been awesome.
You'll just have to take her shopping back home, if you can manage to drag her to a mall. Also feel free to lend me your credit card so I can pick a really fancy restaurant.
[Jokes make everything not horrible, right?]

Sorry, Cashmere. He's not here anymore.
[And it's really difficult to even type that, so he's glad she sent a text instead of a voice or video message.]

[Wow EXCUSE YOU.]
Oh yeah, like whatever Love would've done would've been better.

[What did he do to deserve this? Maybe it was making hand puns at Emily, oops; surely that was some bad karma...]

[Sam slowly paces the floor of the living room as she waits for Chris to join her for a supply run. Fighting off wendigos is one thing, but now there are dragons to contend with? Well - avoid, most likely, because how do you even fight a dragon. Still, everyone in this house needs to eat, and they're low on supplies. They'll be safer if they're not alone, so Sam isn't about to let Chris go out by himself. Once he approaches, she looks up and smiles at him.]
Hey. You ready?
Hey. You ready?
[Chris would feel a lot more confident in going out if he had any way at all of defending them, but he doesn't; he used his last bullet during the Confusion event, and although he knows bullets probably wouldn't hurt a dragon at least it would've been something. But the main plan is to avoid an encounter entirely, so hopefully it will all turn out okay despite the lack of a defense.
He smiles at Sam, giving a small nod and trying to project some confidence.]
Yeah. Fortunately um, we're not too far from the stores.
[Their house is in a pretty good location, and hopefully they'll be able to get to the shops, find what they need, and get back quickly.]

[There's a pause at the start, one where Carlisle is probably trying to talk himself out of this.
Annnnnnnd then an audible sigh.]
Chris, I am accepting your offer for assistance with, um. For practice.
[He really doesn't want to do this.]

[He's honestly a little surprised, but not in a bad way. He wouldn't have made the offer if he didn't think it'd be good for Carlisle to practice.]
Yeah? Awesome. I don't uh, have anything that I need to consistently be doing except like, watching the coffee cart, so I'm probably free whenever's best for you.

[You have come to the right person, Cashmere.]
Yeah, I know how they work, at least enough that I could probably help. But do you want a CD specifically, or just some way to store and play music?

i can't take care of wolfie

It's okay, I can do that.
But we really should try and get him more chill with you, if we can figure out a good way to do it.

Yeah, unless there are any other Chris' that have shown up that I don't know about and you mean them, in which case no. But probably yeah.
[Really, he's surprised there haven't been any others yet. It's not like Chris is a rare name.]

Yeah? That's awesome! I wonder if anyone here has a computer or something already that isn't working or whatever that he could just take a look at, but if not I can probably give him enough info.
Hey, sure, what's up?
[He can guess generally, but not specifically.]

Not related, but did I ever tell you I have a wolf? He's pretty chill, if you wanted to meet him.
[And you know. Talk in person instead of on the network.]
