Grandpa Ralph
Nox: Hey Mr Hollow, I just thought I should tell you, I heard from Diane the other day.
Grandpa: I’m listening, spill it.
Nox: I took Prunella out to the park and saw her there. She walked up to me and told me to betray you for the next bake sale.
Nox: To become her spy.
Grandpa: hm.
Grandpa: What’d she offer you?
Nox: Money.
Grandpa: How much?
Nox: a ridiculous amount.
Nox: She must be desperate.
Grandpa: Kid.
Grandpa: how much.
Nox: uhhh…
Grandpa: You’re my only reliable source of intel here. Give me a number.
Grandpa: Is it between the hundreds?
Nox: Thousands, actually.
Nox: Two-thousand to be exact…
Grandpa: ha! She really is desperate!
Grandpa: did you take it?
Nox: Obviously not.
Grandpa: Rule number 1, Kid.
Grandpa: If the enemy’s offering money, pretend to be on her side so we can split it.
Grandpa: Easiest con in the book.
Grandpa: you’ll get it eventually, don’t worry.
Nox: I’ll keep that in mind if she approaches me a second time, Mr Hollow.
Grandpa: 👍

Danielle
Dani: Hey there, Loverboy.
Dani: Question: Ross is throwing a HUGE dress-up party this weekend. The theme is superheroes, and the group and I were wondering whether or not you were coming?
Dani: sorry to throw you on the spot. I asked Chase to ask you earlier, but he had absolutely no intentions of talking to you.
Dani: trouble in paradise?
Nox: He’s being all petty over my answer to a question he asked me earlier.
Dani: What question?
Nox: ‘Would I love him if he was a worm.’
Dani: and your answer was no?
Dani: thats ice cold, Nox.
Nox: its a WORM, Dani.
Nox: I love worms, but I’m not going to be IN love with a wriggly little Chase!
Nox: though, he’s already little.
Nox: and it would be a lot more peaceful if he couldn’t speak.
Nox: he couldn’t argue, or have any dominance as a worm…
Nox: Dammit. He’s right, isn’t he?
Nox: I would still love him if he was worm!
Nox: maybe even better than him as a human!
Nox: should I give him a call and tell him that I change my answer?
Dani: haha! You’re awesome man.
Dani: The way you guys spiral, I swear you’re so complimentary of each other.
Dani: Its cute.
Nox: Thank you?
Dani: anyway, back to the topic at hand.
Dani: Ross’s party…?
Nox: Umm…
Nox: hm.
Nox: Let me think about it and get back to you.
Dani: ok cool
Dani: Text me whenever

Violet
1 missed call
Nox: Hey, I got a missed call from you.
Nox: whats up?
Keys: ‘Whats up?’
Keys: I’ve been waiting for you to text back all day, and all I get is a ‘whats up’?
Key: How about an ‘apologies Violet for my blatant ignorance’?
Nox: Sorry Violet.
Nox: I’ve been out all day.
Keys: No excuses.
Keys: Where are you?
Nox: The Mall.
Nox: Did you need something?
Keys: don’t you sass me.
Nox: sorry, I figured you wouldn’t be calling on the key’s EMERGENCY group phone unless it was an emergency.
Keys: It IS an emergency.
Keys: We’re running low on snacks.
Keys: We need peanut butter cups and cheeseballs, stat.
Nox: I’m at the mall Violet, not the grocery store.
Keys: Well get me a new tiara from the doll section!
Keys: and text that Mr Hollow for the snacks.
Nox: alright, alright I got it.
Keys: Good.
Keys: love you. ❤️

Chase
Chase: ALRIGHT I ADMIT IT!
Chase: I may have blown the whole worm thing out of proportion!
Nox: May have??
Chase: fine.
Chase: I did.
Chase: And I’m sorry for ignoring you all day
Chase: and calling you a bad boyfriend
Chase: I shouldn’t have been so petty
Nox: You never called me a bad boyfriend, Chase.
Chase: Well not to you, I didn’t
Chase: Definitely said a few words about you to Simon though
Chase: I’m sorry
Chase: You forgive me? 🥺
Nox: you working overtime today?
Chase: Yeah. Shift ends in 2 hours ish?
Chase: Why?
Chase: Do you want me to end my shift earlier?
Chase: Because I’ll just tell them I’m sick and leave right now if you want me too!
Nox: No, its fine Chase.
Nox: I forgive you.
Nox: Lets just watch a movie or something when you come back.
Chase: Are you sure?
Nox: Positive.
Nox: I love you so much.
Nox: I’d even love you if you were a worm.
Chase: what? Why?
Chase: You said you wouldn’t!
Nox: Because you loved me when I was at my smallest.
Nox: And it’d be pretty hypocritical of me not to love you just the same.
Chase: Awww Buddyyyy!
Chase: you changed your answer for me! 😫
Nox: Yeah, yeah, I love you unconditionally, keep it in your pants.
Chase: Thats exactly where its going 😏
Nox: You’re an idiot.
Chase: But you love me
Nox: I do.
Chase: And I love you too.
