There’s more where that came from ;)

Feeling more like myself, I sent another message.

@pancakesareelite:

I know I said I didn’t want to talk about it but… my stepdad is awful. Really, really awful and he wants to see me and it’s a little scary.

@theanswerisno:

If you ever need me to come and get you, just say the word. Okay?

@pancakesareelite:

And reveal your super-secret identity? Is this where I find out you’re like a prince or something?

Or… an engineer working at Simucon?

@theanswerisno:

The prince of Genovia, but to protect my royal privacy, his highness shall wear a full body suit and mask and won’t say a word.

@theanswerisno:

Although, on second thought, please don’t trust anyone in a full body suit and mask. Especially one who isn’t saying anything.

@pancakesareelite:

Link. I need you to know that I’m laughing. And it feels really good. Thank you.

@theanswerisno:

Main quest achieved.

Side quest: In progress.

@pancakesareelite:

What’s your side quest?

@theanswerisno:

I’m buttering you up so you can play Starlight with me.

@pancakesareelite:

-_-

@pancakesareelite:

Fine.

Despite my protestations, I was glad he asked.Starlightwas exactly the game I needed. And I should have trusted Link would know that.

Link. Link-in. Lincoln.

Gah.

Yes, they were both engineers. It was possible, sure. If I was smarter, I would calculate the odds. The only person who I knew who could calculate those odds was Mr. Carden, and well, I wasn’t going to ask him.
