I was going to shake you awake, but if you insist.

[desertrain]

I meant to wake everyone else!

[viziernary]

Ah so you're offering to help me with my workload by banging on pots and pans to get the rest of the dorm up. I'll leave that part to you, then.

[desertrain]

I'm starting to wonder if you even thought this through.

[viziernary]

Where are you, Kalim?

[Turn on your location, he just wants to talk.]

[desertrain]

The lounge!

[viziernary]

I'm throwing you into the nearest lake once I find you, Kalim.

[desertrain]

Do you need me to make one?

[viziernary]

Only if you throw yourself in after you're done, otherwise it's simply another thing I'll have to clean up later.

[desertrain]

You'll have to take me out to the oasis otherwise!

[viziernary]

Kalim Al-Asim, I am absolutely a petty enough person that I will track you down, drag you to the oasis by camel if I must, and throw you in.

Run.

[desertrain]

How do you know I'm not already!

[viziernary]

Are you really telling me that you're wasting time texting me while running from my wrath? At least spare my ego and tell me you've found a hiding place.

[desertrain]

I have!

[ His hiding place is not very hidden. He's just sprawled out on the couch in Jamil's bedroom. But by Kalim's figuring, that's the last place Jamil would expect him to be, so maybe it's effective anyway. ]

[viziernary]

[A few minutes later.]

Why do you have an octopus in your room?

[Yeah. Yeah, they switched rooms in this shitshow.]

[desertrain]

He reminded me of you!

[viziernary]

How.

[desertrain]

His cute little face!

[viziernary]

What???

[desertrain]

His! Face!

And you can turn him inside out!

[viziernary]

He becomes angrier.

I see you want to go for a very long swim.

[desertrain]

Will you come swim with me?

[viziernary]

You'd just climb out if I wasn't there with you.

Did my parents really send you tea??? [Why is he going through Kalim's room he needs to track Kalim down back to the hunt.]

[desertrain]

Oh! So it's a swimming date you want! You could have said so!

Mmhmm it was a very nice jasmine tea! Very thoughtful of them. I sent them a thank you card for it! But I keep forgetting to bring it to the kitchen because the tin has such a nice design, I just wanna keep it on my vanity!

[ Kalim, that's not... forgetting. That's not what that means. ]

[viziernary]

We're not going on a swimming date, Kalim, I'm threatening to drown you. There's a difference. Don't put words in people's mouths. People will get the wrong idea.

Order some jam if you haven't already. It'll be easier for me to drown you if we take care of the breakfast party plans before I find you.
