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.
