You’ve reached Mark, for some reason. It’s 2022 apparently, last I checked - just text me. Or, you know, leave a message if you must.

Hey, it's me. Most of the place is done. You got time to swing by for some photos this week?

[atypical_echo]

Yep, I can be free for that. But you've got to swear that you'll make sure I drink nothing but water or soda if I need a sip of something.

[robintohood]

I promise. I'll be right by you in case you get tempted

[atypical_echo]

Oh the jokes I could make there. Pick a night.

[robintohood]

Ha. Don't worry. It's just a work date. And any night this week works for me

[atypical_echo]

I'm not worried that it would be anything else. I mean, you're a faceless dude hiring me to do work without other people around.

Okay, that almost sounds worrying, but it'll be fine.

[robintohood]

Hey, I'm not running THAT kind of business lol

Anyway, you got my address. Just let me know when you're on your way

[atypical_echo]

Thank fuck.

I do. I'll be by tomorrow evening. Got a standing 'dinner and mocking the bachelor' I need to attend with a friend.

Mid-December, after Secret Santa assignments go out; text

when someone says they're into the classics, what does that mean?

[Sorry, Mark, you're the Reliable Human in Huvrye's life and that means you get the Reliable Human questions.]

[atypical_echo]

Well, that can mean one of two things. Movies or books.

[effiomsfavorite]

I think movies?

[He goes back to check the post, look at all the comments, and see who's talking about the classics. A minute or two later:]

yeah it's movies

[atypical_echo]

I have so many suggestions.

[effiomsfavorite]

like what?

[atypical_echo]

Like movies worth buying that have great bonuses on the discs. And director commentaries. Wait, shit, now it’s all about digital. I’ll need to research.

[effiomsfavorite]

[...okay that is more than he's expecting]

dn: Leon (he/him) | the night Huvrye gets shot

[faceguy]

hey is this mark?
this is leo
I live with huvrye?

[Leo sure hopes Huvrye has at least told Mark about him so he doesn't have to explain too much.]

[atypical_echo]

[Why could someone who was living with Huvrye be reaching out to him? Dammit.]

What happened?

[faceguy]

hopefully nothing?
we usually check in but he never did and hes not answering his phone

im probably overeacting and his phone just died or something

but he told me to contact you if this ever happened

[atypical_echo]

no, that's really worrying.

[faceguy]

ok great

well

heres me worrying

[atypical_echo]

You and me both. Should we go looking?

[faceguy]

yeah maybe

usually this time of night he would be doing a flyover of the city

not sure where he was headed tonight though

Ho ho ho

[A package is waiting for Mark the next time he’s at the Descendant.

Inside the box are several items. There’s nice set of loose leaf teas in tins of varying blend that are either herbal or caffeinated. There’s a tea infuser to go with the loose leaf teas. And finally, there’s a tumbler. It’s spill-proof thanks to the suction cup at the bottom]
