You've reached Poe Dameron. I'm off flying something or trying not to get killed, so go ahead and leave a message and I'll get back to you eventually.

[littlemissfutility]

i heard they aren't broadcasting your show anymore
are you okay????

[littlemissfutility]

[After a few hours:]

poe??????

[littlemissfutility]

[And a little longer:]

just tell us you're okay
okay????????
i know you can take care of yourself but

[littlemissfutility]

i don't want finn to worry

[littlemissfutility]

i hope you're okay

1/2

[flightforfreedom]

[The first message goes through - there's no note that says I wasn't received - but whereas Poe is usually pretty damn prompt in his replies, there is only silence from his end of the line.]

2/2

[flightforfreedom]

[after all the texts, within about a half hour of receiving the one about Finn:]

sorry it's all good

had an interesting afternoon

we are fine
did anything happen down there

[littlemissfutility]

good

[But that's one heck of a question, and she's pretty sure she doesn't want to answer it truthfully.]

kind of
we'll tell you about it when you get back don't worry
what happened?????

[flightforfreedom]

got attacked my a drone Missile armed

so something was trying to kill us but we're okay

definitely not planned for the show, though

nothing attacked you guys?

[littlemissfutility]

oh my god

[...well, at least this one's not a lie.]

no we weren't attacked
so is that why the feed's down??????
i think we're still respecting your privacy but it seemed weird that they turned you off
i thought reality shows loved drama

[flightforfreedom]

drama, sure

state secrets? Not so much

not even sure what we were fighting

glad you guys are okay though

was worried it was a forerunner for invasion

[littlemissfutility]

i guess so
good thing we had a fighter pilot up there :o)

[There, and she doesn't even have to bring up...you know, everything happening at home. Perfect.]

no invasions down here
promise

[flightforfreedom]

turns out having one around is sometimes handy ;)

[Unfortunately, he has actually heard about the nanite so - sorry Beth, not avoiding this one.]

good

don't even know what would happen with that on top of the weird stuff going on with the nanites

you and finn okay, that way? it doesn't seem like a terribly big deal up here, but i saw a post for healers and stuff a few days ago on the network

[littlemissfutility]

[DAMN IT.

There's a pause. A really long one.]

sorry got distracted

[by her bleeding skull and how to explain it]

yeah we're okay
it's kind of weird but everyone's fine

[flightforfreedom]

[Luckily he doesn't know that one of his friends is literally dead and the others are falling apart yet, so... can't call her out on this one. :D ]

alright, good

no one in this place can seem to catch a break for even a few seconds, sometimes

[littlemissfutility]

[And then Finn will never say anything to him about finding her covered in blood, and everything will obviously be fine! This is all going to work out great.]

idk it was pretty nice for a couple weeks
i just hope it'll be back to normal before christmas/life day

[flightforfreedom]

[these three are the best communicators ever made]

yeah

damn, yeah. same.

but you're sure finn's fine?

not acting weird? or looking really bruised or anything?

maybe you should poke him a few times to check

[littlemissfutility]

[look, there is literally no point in making a guy in space worry about people on earth--what's he going to do, swim back to the ground?]

he seems okay
but next time i see him i'll poke him and see what happens
i'm blaming you if he's weird about it

[flightforfreedom]

you have full permission to blame me regardless of the outcome

maybe video it

[littlemissfutility]

i could just wait til you get back

[this time, the long pause is also due to her bleeding skull, but it's more like the pain that comes with it. nbd.]

then you could see it yourself

and the award for biggest hypocrite goes to

[flightforfreedom]

yeah

don't wait

just in general

that's what i'm starting to realise is kind of a necessity

who knows, maybe another drone will come blow us up tomorrow

so in the meantime

videos of finn yelping

[littlemissfutility]

if we're gonna think like that why plan to do anything????
it'll probably be funnier if you can see it in person you know

[flightforfreedom]

exactly

no point planning, just doing, right?

so poke him now, video it, and then do it again when i'm home and it will be even funnier

[There's a pause, though, and then he sends the following:]

i'm just kidding

homesick i guess

[littlemissfutility]

no
planning's important
that's how you get dinner and christmas parties and neighborhoods


besides if i poke him again when you get home he'll be expecting it

[flightforfreedom]

[He doesn't reply immediately, because he's just being an idiot. But he does after a few minutes.]

pretty sure there has got to be a line between
planning
and doing

to make the former seem like it has a point [Wow. Melodramatic there much, Poe? He deletes it, and says instead:]

to keep life interesting

alright, alright, alright

no poking, i get it
