Can we all take a moment to admire the fact that 2801 technology still supports emoji functionality? 🤩 👍 🕷 💁 🩰 💫 🍆 🧊 💅 👁‍🗨 🎯 🤡 🔋 🐈 💲 🧙‍♀️ 🐦💋 🐜 👽 🕶 ⚡ 🕵🏻‍♀️ 💦 💦 💦

It seems like they're pretty set on calling us 'Hatchlings', so... hello, fellow Hatchlings, I'd like to play a game.

Two truths and a lie. I'll start.

  ① Starbucks makes the best lattes.
  ② I've never watched All Dogs Go To Heaven all the way through.
  ③ My birthdate is May 21st. What year? Every year. 😉😉😉 But my party in 2018 was 🔥🔥🔥.

alright. no lord of the rings marathon for us. between this and marvin gaye, you're just dead set on breaking my heart, aren't you?
so what kinda movies do you like?

[freightcars]

i LIKE marvin gaye

( you are so frustrating wilson )

scifi
fantasy
2001: a space odyssey was good, before aliens ruined space for everyone
they did a good job on pirates of the Caribbean

why, is this another email underscore thing?

[unclesam]

only if you give me the wrong answer on a silver platter

this is more a 'I'll see what I can unearth at the theater so I can drag you into an insomnia movie night sometime' thing.

[freightcars]

Feels like I can't reply being an asshole after that gesture, so
thanks

( hurgh how does he make reciprocal smalltalk without sounding stupid and weird or like he's a 14 year old on a date ​)

what do you watch

( Excellent nailed it what a fluid transition )

[unclesam]

yeah well, I need an alternative to letting you wipe the gym floor with me.
plus occasionally I can be nice. shocking, I know. I'll try not to make a habit of it.

I'm good with sci fi and fantasy.
if you're into trash talking movies, dumb action flicks are always and option, too.
and I'll find an alligator to feed you to if you tell anyone, but I might attempt to sneak a period drama or two in there.

[freightcars]

a period drama huh
are you like a Mr. Darcy kind of guy or is it more of a Hamilton thing

[unclesam]

we don't slander the emotionally constipated dreamboat in this house, buck, shut up. faced with my ma and sister, pa and I knew to keep our mouths shut and appreciate.
and hey I won't knock anything that's got good music, even if it ain't my usual speed.

[freightcars]

fair enough, can't argue with that

[unclesam]

that is the most sensible thing I've ever seen come out of you

yo did you hand your comms off to someone else to impersonate you?

[freightcars]

of course not
it's me, your friend borky
nothing to see here
what's your social security number

[unclesam]

you think you're hilarious, don't you

[freightcars]

I am hilarious

[unclesam]

what you are, chuckles, is an idiot. with one entire brain cell that you don't even have sole custody over.

[freightcars]

flattering you think I have anything at all going on up there

[unclesam]

you realize any endorsement from me is questionable, right? I've jumped at a helicopter feet first. and had one drop on top of me a few days ago. disregard this, maybe I just have personal issues with helicopters.
no plan beats bad plan any day though.

[freightcars]

does that mean you're the one that has joint custody of the brain cell

[unclesam]

yep we're co parenting. congrats. you realize Nat is the only one of us with actualsense right?

[freightcars]

Yup
I'm gonna have gray hair by the time we make it off this damn planet

[unclesam]

gray - man how do you set yourself up so well for a white wolf joke and then still miss the mark? I swear I gotta do all the heavy lifting around here.

[freightcars]

Might be less white wolf more silver fox after that

what even has this conversation become

[unclesam]

more of a silver back. I've seen you prancing and posturing.

who knows anymore rly

[freightcars]

Like a gorilla, or is that like a thing? I don't have urban dictionary here.

( Now you know his dark secret — he's not completely caught up to pop culture, he crutches on urban dictionary and google more than he wants to admit. Could be nothing, could be a societally established joke. Siver back sounds a little too precarious, could go either way. )

[unclesam]

urban dictionary.
jesus, bucky, you live dangerously.

I mean the other thing of course.

[ Sam 100% means a gorilla. ]

[freightcars]

Had to ask
You never know

[unclesam]

so what do you think it means?
