[ Admittedly, he looked away from the HUD for a moment. To get a drink or something. He didn't take it off; he just wasn't paying as much attention to it as he should. He can see the texts bouncing up on the display, and after a couple of minutes, he rewinds them to catch back up. Little habit he's calling the Joshua-method, so that the man can build up his text-epistle and yet still get it in good text format.
He drops the can of pop, which spills everywhere, but at least that gives him an excuse. The first message comes in as voice. ]
Sorry! G-Gotta, gotta give me like - five minutes! I-I dropped a soda and it exploded all over the apartment!
[ A few minutes and countless paper towels later. ]
» Okay - you can pet my hair. For science. But don't be disappointed if I don't purr.
» Rapidfire: Yes, yeah I do, you know we don't have to have a plan right? We can just hang out.
» That Vigilante guy fake threatened it but he hasn't tried anything. It's fine.
» Because I actually like how my arms look?
» Technically it's a light wave. I just used sound waves for the example cause you can feel them and you can't feel light, but now I'll just slide that correction in there so you can sound even smarter when you quote me.
» And the devices aren't rare, but they've got precautions built in so the right message goes to the right device. Like your username. That's how it knows that this one's for you.
» If I knew that, I don't think it would anymore.
» Four guys putting their backs into it helps.
» WE DID NOT STEAL THE EGG THAT CAUSED THE VILLAGE TO GET RAZED IN THE RUMOR.
» ... yeah. I miss mine too.
[ He's already hit send and there's several ...s that come and go, but the normal pace of texts eventually resumes. ]
» I'll HALF ignore them. That work? Cause I can't tell you I'm ignoring them if I'm ignoring them? Also not telling you what's in the half I'm not ignoring.
» You do gotta give me the other two elements though. I've got earth, wind, fire, lightning, water, ice...
» ... actually I don't want to know.
» Huh. Just realized I ruled out Procerus because it starts with Pr- and then gave you another Pr- name. Too late, you're Prae now to everyone but you. You could always make everyone you know get a "PRAE" tattoo. See if that helps you remember.
» Ha, anytime. I specialize in treating everybody the same, duty or not. I AM going to use "Confound it!" on you every chance I get though. If that's supposed to be cursing, it's adorable.
» I like ramble. And I like faster texts, so MAYBE there's a chance that other names I might've been called are appropriate.
» Yep. Part of the whole Crownsguard deal - but I'd watch his back for free. Someone's gotta make sure he can be just Noct.
