So Many Text Messages: "Come hang out with us" in a nutshell.

[rivalsolarbeam]

[Long before the rest of these posts were ever conceived: AN TEXT MESSAGE TO DARGON, FROM ONE YELLOW FLOWER BUTT.]
Hey! … Listen, I don't want to tip toe around this or anything. There's a guy I like a lot, and fairly recently we decided we wanted to try giving going out a shot. If you'd be up for it, I'd really ilke you to meet him? (You already know him though.) Maybe we could meet up some time…?


[And then eventually, after dargon business went down, a series of other private network text posts were made from both of Bulba's and Vinnie's accounts. Wow. Gosh.]


[Dear Nyx and Jolt, from Bulba:]

So…! I recently kind of started seeing someone, though uh… maybe you'd already heard. Anyway I'd really like to introduce him to you, even though you actually already know him. Do you think we could hang out some time?

[Dear Red Team, from Vinnie:]

So uh. It felt like I should give you guys the heads up, cuz I just started seeing someone. If you wanted your karmic payback for whatever, then y'know... I deserve it.
 
I'll just fuckin' spare you from wondering. It's Bulba.
 
Okay, that's all.

[Dear Voile. Dear Max. Courtesy of Saurs.]

Hey do you mind if we hung out sometime? We wanna tell you something.

[Note written to Skull Kid:]
 
Hey Skid, if another flower smellin' guy with blond hair's around more often, uh, do you mind?
 
We're dating, so try not to prank him too bad. It'd mean a lot t'me.
 
He made some cookies for you. They're double chocolate chip, you can have the whole plate.

[It is a whole plate of cookies. There is a little hand written note with the cookies that reads Hi, these are from Bulba (that's me). I hope we can get along. What kind of cookies are your favourite? ❀]

[DEAR ROOMIE LADIES from Bulba:]

Hi...! Uh! I just wanted to let you guys know that there might be another guy hanging out here sometimes now. Do either of you know Vinnie? He's got green hair and piercings, and he's a Venusaur like me.

We're going out now so... yeah, you'll probably see him around? He's really nice and we won't be a bother to anybody, promise! I just wanted to give you a heads up.

ps.
Pancakes on Wednesday??

[HELLO You can jump straight into action threads if you want to handwave setting things up. We can assume they planned to meet [SOMEWHERE!] at [SOMETIME!]. If you would also like to just text reply or handwave things, that is also super cool :>]

[reservedempath]

Of course. Anytime you'd like!

[rivalsolarbeam]

Hmm, any time is good with us too. Maybe... [arbitrary time] in the green house?

[They can make you tea.]

[text]

[reservedempath]

That sounds nice. I'll certainly be there.

[punchthedoritos]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

So THAT'S Why you were so worried!? I get it, now.

That's great news, Vinnie! Bulba is so nice! I'm really happy for you and for him too - I've always kind of wanted to be better friends with him so now maybe we can! If he wants to, and stuff, I mean.

Anyway! I'm really excited for you and hopefully we can get together some time soon. I'm still going to make him something nice anyway!

[flowerofmtsilver]

H-ha ha... well, I was never worried 'bout you. But y'know... [An awkward trail off, with unspoken persons in mind. Vinnie looked conflicted for a moment, but his appreciation for Sonny quickly outweighed it, and he brightened up with a small smile.]

I think he'd definitely like to be better friends with you, too. Whenever's good for you is good for us, Smoe.

[hi vinnie / text]

[tidalwaves]

why did you think i would care

[flowerofmtsilver]

Cuz I knew you'd reply.

[punchtheboner]

Bulba? Wait, isn't he one of Green's? [Insert rivalry feelings here. Mawrow was a bit confused probably because she has never really met Green's team, and has only heard of them through the tales and stories of Red's team. Though, her motherly side quickly kicks in as per usual.]

Well... are you happy? Do they make you happy? If you're well and are better for it, that's all that matters mijo. Love is a wonderful thing and if this is what you want, then I'm behind you a hundred percent okay? Don't forget that I'm here for you if you ever want to talk, or if you want to hang out.

[Mawrow fails to grasp that texts are supposed to be short.]

[flowerofmtsilver]

Yeah, he is. It's... complicated.

Don't worry 'bout me. I'm not exactly a kid anymore. 'Sides, I--

...

Wait, I thought you were still at Ms. R's?

[NO ONE TELLS HIM ANYTHING WHEN DID YOU GET HERE.]

[rivalthunderbolts]

Congrats, dude! Sure, I'll hang with you!

[rivalsolarbeam]

Haha, thank you? [WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THAT...]

Great! Would you be down for grabbing some bubble tea?

[rivalcurse]

Shit, man, you looking to bring him 'round to meet the folks already? Should I be preparing some threatening speeches, or d'you figure Char's got that covered?

Don't wanna come on too strong, now, we can't be scaring off your boy.

[rivalsolarbeam]

I wanted to do things right this time around! Between the lot of you I'm sure every threat is handled, haha.

I don't think he's going to get scared off too easy, though.

Uh. But he does kinda... have a thing about ghosts? Um... just maybe hold off on any inevitable pranking for a little bit.

OK!!

I ate all the cookies they were good!! [and now he's bouncing off the walls]

[flowerofmtsilver]

[Well it wouldn't be fair if Vinnie was the only person getting pranked around here.]

I thought you might like'em. Remember to say thank you when you see him, okay? Be nice and he'll make you more.

[punchvolcanoes]

[8Dc]

I'm so proud of you.

[flowerofmtsilver]

Is it... something t'be that proud of?
