[The first text John sends will be arriving mid-morning.]

so it's been getting really cold outside.
well maybe not really cold.
but cold enough to notice!
which means winter and the holiday season should be coming around soon, right?

so asgard, my question to you is: what holidays do you celebrate around this time? or do you choose not to celebrate at all?

[The second follows a few moments later.]

oh, i guess i forgot to ask in my last text there. does anyone know where i could possibly obtain a job? i think i've sat on my rear end for far too long.

heck no i'm not giving up!
i just don't expect them to answer to someone who hasn't been here as long as others.
maybe they will, maybe they won't! it's a gamble really. which is the fun part.
just waiting and finding out.

[integrous]

If they don't answer to someone as nice as you, I'll go right up where they are and kick their ass! That just isn't fair, no matter how long you've been here compared to other people.

[longwinded]

what?
no.
nice? me? you have got the wrong dude.
i'm actually an overbearing asshole disguised as someone nice.
maybe that is just the way im seeing it. i just don't want to get my hopes up.

[The fun part is wondering if John really is an asshole.]

[integrous]

I don't become friends with people who are assholes pretending to be someone nice, got it?!

So that's why I trust you to not be like that.

[longwinded]

[John is audibly sighing over here. Yes he can be quite an asshole. But with people like this. He just. Can't be. He just can't.]

man come on.
i was pulling your leg.
i'm an angel.
most of the time.

[integrous]

Most of the time is fine with me! [ it doesn't help that nuances and intentions don't often show in text, huh.. ] So I guess in that case you could maybe be qualified to become my friend. [ is she exaggerating on purpose as a joke or not..? ]

[longwinded]

i feel honored.
so very honored that you will accept me as your friend.
as i am also accepting you as my friend.
this calls for a another shout at the gods.
what do you think?

[John loves exaggeration. Also jokes. So she is in the clear.]

[integrous]

Together this time then?

[ Now this is something she can get behind - she's just grinning at her bracelet, really. ]

[longwinded]

yes!
on the count of three?
1
2.......

[This is incredibly silly.]

[integrous]

[ It is. But Asahi lives for silly things, so she easily goes along with it. ]

3!!!

[ And at that she actually does let out a shout - pretty loudly, actually, Asahi is naturally loud and her trying to be louder doesn't make that any worse.. But it's with a grin on her face, for some reason it makes her happy. ]

[longwinded]

[John let out a really loud shout as well. Laughing as he finished it. He was proud of himself, really!]

haha
how was that for a shout!
its invigorating isnt it?!

[integrous]

Really makes you feel alive! [ she laughs to herself. ] .. Thanks for that. It's fun.

[longwinded]

anytime.
it is really fun, especially when you have someone to yell with!
right? right.

now you'll feel alive and hyped up for the rest of the week!

[integrous]

Clearly that means we got to do it again some other time!

[longwinded]

i think next time it should be in person.
it could be a lot more fun that way.
just screaming at the top of our lungs.
it's good stress relief too.
or...that's what i was told.

[integrous]

I sure know it is! [ guess who yells all the freaking time.. yes. ] So sure, let's do it in person next time! We can even make it a competition!

[longwinded]

for who can scream the loudest?
you
are
so
going
down!

[integrous]

Are you suuuure about that? Because I can already hear you crying from all the way over here!
