[Jimmy has obviously been crying. His eyes are puffy and red, and he's sporting an overly-blown nose.]

Uh...shit, I hate doing these.

You know how I live with my best bud, Tobias? Well...

Let's put it this way, I got a opening for a roommate.

[He really can't bring himself to say anything else, not without coming apart into an emotional mess all over again. He's never been good with losing people.]

[Krieg is always happy to hear his friend's voice!

...Except, for once, his friend doesn't sound very happy. Krieg's masked face is right up against his 'Gear, as usual, when he responds.]

It sounds like a cold winter night.

[What does that even mean, Krieg.]

Need to hit something?

[If so, Krieg will volunteer!]

[video]

[anexcitableboy]

Yeah, guess it is.

I dunno. Probably shouldn't. But I wanna do a lot of things I shouldn't.

[video]

[fuelthefire]

Yeah? Like what?

[Talk to him, buddy!]

[video]

[anexcitableboy]

Fighting, drinking, that kind of shit.

[video]

[fuelthefire]

Oh, yeah. I'm not supposed to do those, either.

[He pauses thoughtfully there, and grumbles a bit to himself before adding:]

No one has to know if you fight, though!

[Uh, Krieg, that's...that's not true. At all. Drinking is way easier to hide.]

[video]

[anexcitableboy]

I'd know, wouldn't I?

[video]

[fuelthefire]

[He hesitates before answering, thinks that over, and then nods.]

Yeah, I guess.

[There's another pause as he considers what else might be helpful.]

Want some company?

[video]

[anexcitableboy]

I just...I made promises. To my ma. To a real close friend...they're gone, but...

Yeah I think I do.

[video]

[fuelthefire]

Mngh...I think I did too, once...

[There's a brief pause while his mind wanders back, gently brushes against safely and thoroughly repressed memories, and then nopes right the heck back on out.

He shakes his head to clear it, fast and hard, like a little kid, before returning to the subject at hand.]

I'll come see you.
