Work Text:
Garroth stared at the bright glowing screen of his phone. It’s new and unused and impersonal. Garroth had spent the past 15 minutes just redownloading apps and old photos from the cloud. He set one of himself and Laurance as the lockscreen.
Curled up on a shitty bed in an equally shitty apartment, his newly-fledged werewolf ears were pinned against his head. Should he even dare?
But he couldn’t leave them in the dark. Not after so long. They were probably worried sick.
You added [UNKNOWN NUMBER]
You added [UNKNOWN NUMBER]

Laurance

ADKSLJADKLS
It’s
been a while
You
Good to talk to you all again haha
Garroth smiled weakly. This wouldn’t be a bad idea after all. With more confidence, he began typing once more.
You
Missed you all sm
SO much happened
Can’t even really put it into words
Vylad
We know
Dante
I SAW
IT WAS FUCKING WILD
AND BS
GENIUNELY STUPIDEST REASON TO GO ON A MANHUNT EVER

Laurance
I genuinely don’t understand what happened
I just kept checking the news everyday
Still couldn’t understand shit
You
Tbh, even i don’t really understand haha
I’d tell you about it
but
fucking hell
I don’t even know what I legally can and can’t say
and even then
putting it into words is
hard
really really hard
i’ll try at some point but idk
Sorry lolol
Laurance
Garroth, breath
You’re fine
We know the basics
Did anyone get hurt?
Is there something specifically that we need to know?
You
Uhhh
give me a moment
- Lucinda can’t use magic anymore
- Zane doesn’t say names anymore. Uses numbers instead. Think he hit his head or smth and it fucked up with his brain.
- Aaron is blind and has amnesia
Ig that’s it?? Everything else is more personal and I really don’t want to talk about it for them haha
tbh I was
out of it
for a good chunk of the time
so I really don’t know much about the specifics
Dante
Holy shit
Vylad

Laurance
It was hell but SOOO worth it omi
You

Dante

You cpuld have have protected your glorious amazing big brother
But no
You just stand there and watch
Vylad
Hello?????
What was I supposed to say????
That vanilla comes from a rare flower and is delicately harvested just to be treated as simple?
Garroth’s tail thumped pathetically against the mattress. Without a second thought, Garroth twisted his body and stomped on the thing to get it to stop. He ignored the sharp pain aching from the fledgling nerves. “Stop it,” he growled, more literally than metaphorically.
You
Yes
Exactly
That
Dante
HUH
I didn’t know that
That’s actually really cool
You
SAME TBH LMAOOO
Vylad
Damn you don’t collect facts like their pokemon?
