[infomodder]

who says we'd be using money
there are other ways

[Which may sound terribly criminal like casing the seaside cottages and choosing one that can be lock-picked and crashed in, but it's really Will just calling in a favor from someone he knows.]

because she's never been to one
and it's better than a cabin in the woods

[aggressiveapathy]

trading sexual favors is only exciting if i get to watch
and mm
that's okay i guess
but i don't see the difference in cottage and woods cabin
an equal percentage of outdoors time happens in both

[infomodder]

[Is the participation not exciting enough? he thinks, but no. He's not asking. That's just sad.]

seaside cottage usually says something about wealth
cabin in the woods tends to scream more towards
social reject outcast misanthrope on the verge of mass murder
stereotypically speaking

[Also antlers.]

we don't HAVE to but if you want
we can

[aggressiveapathy]

wealth
hm
okay
go have your magical father daughter adventure
i need to go job hunting
anyway
the payback can be something not involving nature

[infomodder]

[Oh no, Heart.]

i'm all about magic
and barracudas
but
what happened to the job?

[aggressiveapathy]

what happens to everyone here
porter
nbd
i'm a highly sought after personal assistant
in certain circles

[infomodder]

[The Porter or the stick she poked him with was too sharp, mysteries.]

it's a bd if you have to get a new job
i'm sure you'll pull through
shark april is pulling through
shark april nearly capsized a small boat
and put a bruise on my leg with her tail
and busted another guy's ass
but that was more us being a dumbshits than anything else
that was how i knew
she was an april shark

[aggressiveapathy]

i love her
she's like the violent big sister i never had
but if you want to get beat up
don't ask in the same texting covering your parental duties
and don't worry
i'll still have my own money
i can always work out this bank robbing thing
for plan b

[infomodder]

[Well there's clearly one solution to this.]

we're doing shark trips every month now
why don't you come in october
help us catch the next one
and if the new finned april doesn't beat me during the trip
you can rectify that

[He's not being totally serious on that last part because he doesn't think she is, either. Not to "no why" levels, at any rate. Not a single mention of the not-child bride to be found, they can leave that topic.]

[aggressiveapathy]

i've never been on a boat
not in a lake
and with skiis
how much of an issue
would this hypothetically be

[infomodder]

if you promise to listen to me while we're out there
and get the shoes you'll need
which i have plenty of thanks to the shop
then there won't be any issues

[aggressiveapathy]

ill think about it
it's exceeding my yearly outdoor time
but sharks

[infomodder]

[another shark picture this is better than wooing with continuous talk of murder, isn't it? Slightly? Just a bit?]

yelled at lydia to wave when i went to take this picture
she did this
sharks are great

[The marine kind are great.]

[aggressiveapathy]

uh
yeah
but they have their natural habitat and i have mine
but
here
if i go on a boat with you
i get to take you somewhere

[infomodder]

habitats can change
somewhere
like somewhere public
or
somewhere away or
which somewhere?

[aggressiveapathy]

i like my indoor ecosystem
and
it's a mystery

[ dun dun dun? ]

[infomodder]

would you like it more if we got a
dr shark
demanding crystals

[It's not stalking if it's public!!!]

[aggressiveapathy]

maybe
if i can text them from my napping chair
instead of holding the meeting in a boat
but is this your mammal trickery way of saying you don't want a surprise mystery trip
to somewhere i like

[infomodder]

[No, no, there's that weird thing again, that caring (in her own way, but still a good way) about what he wants that he's not really accustomed to deal with.]

not at all
i'd be thrilled to go on a mystery trip to somewhere you like
i'd take off work for it

[Which is easier when he's the boss, he knows. Being the boss is sometimes kind of great.]

[aggressiveapathy]

cool
so i can survive a day in water world
i guess
wrestling sharks will help
that whole thing

[ now she just has to plot where that adventure will be
it's days like this she misses her friend orin. just a little ]

[infomodder]

[The good thing about this is that it's not just Will, that if something happens to her (or anyone else, for that matter), there's plenty of people nearby who know how to react. What to do. Who can step in if anything goes awry and Will's not right next to her. They've had two successful trips with no real incidents, he's fully trusting that they can make a third with someone who doesn't know shit and it be as smooth sailing as the others.]

great
i'll let the crew know so we can make arrangements
they were asking about you anyway
it'll be a good time
promise

[aggressiveapathy]

mm
ill teach them to fear april prime
anyway

[infomodder]

they already do
but learning it firsthand is a good experience
maybe i can get them to bump the trip up a week or so

[He might be a little excited about this. As excited as he gets, at least.]

like a day after he arrives; text

[kinesia]

[ It takes him a while to work up to this. It's new, and the main thing he's desperate for is company. Real company. He doesn't really know how to ask for that. Sending a message seems better than nothing. Even if it feels awkward to him. ]

hello april .

this is grey . you gave me this number

[ Okay, introductions dealt with. What now? This feels so false. What do people normally say? ]

are you well ?

[aggressiveapathy]

hungry already?

[ This is April, queen of small talk.

Also full sentences Grey is kind of weird. Just a little. ]
