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 :>]

[Wouldn't that be nice? For Vinnie to just disappear. The thought made Marie want to sob, and so he did.

He hated Vinnie for leaving. But no matter how much he wished he could forget him, that simply wasn't possible unless he'd never been a part of his life in the first place. Almost all of his memories involved the Venusaur. The scars on his face made him think of Vinnie. He had his flowers tattooed on his back. He was covered in visual reminders of the person he used to call his brother.

No matter how much hate he poured into him, he wasn't going anywhere. Marie shook his head, still covering his face with his hands.]

I can't.

[flowerofmtsilver]

Then I don't know what t'tell you.

[Because he didn't want to tell Marie to forgive him. That would be asking too much of of the Wartortle. If it ever happened, it would be on its own time, on its own terms.

Vinnie stared him straight in the face, unwavering and dead serious.]

...Do you still want to hit me?

[tidalwaves]

[Vinnie's stare was overwhelming; for a moment, all Marie could think about was how much he wanted Vinnie to stop looking at him. He kept his head down, eyes decidedly kept away from where Vinnie stood.

A pause before he replied... Then, very sure of his answer,]

Yes.

[Not that it would fix anything. But Marie certainly didn't care all that much.]
