Early updates are early. Because reasons.

C_Dvs: …
C_Dvs: wut?
With a growl, Feugo snapped a picture of Neo and sent it to Clementine. It wasn't a clear-cut HD, but it was good enough.
C_Dvs: nice cosplay

C_Dvs: maybe arkham asylum
C_Dvs: i wanna see joker beat the shit outta u
Feugo closed the app. He knew full-well she wouldn't believe him on the whim. He needed proof.
He pushed himself so his back rested on the foot of the bed. He eyed Neo and pretended to be busy with his phone so she (hopefully) wouldn't notice.
Neo, who sat on his desk and played with his laptop, didn't look too good.
He clicked his tongue.
"Um, Neo?"
She flinched at his timid voice and glared at him. He raised his hands up and waited until she nodded at him to speak.
"So, I have this friend who can help, but I need proof to know that you're not messing with her."
She rolled her eyes and half-heartedly signed Semblance?
"Semblance."
The video lasted for three minutes. It involved Feugo telling her to "please stand up, that'll make it more real!" and Neo rolling her eyes before begrudgingly standing up in a zombie-hunching position, flaring her arms wide and doing the jazz-hands despite her blank, bored face as she transformed and transformed back.
C_Dvs: …
C_Dvs: that
C_Dvs: that COULD be edited
FF42: Seriously Clem?
C_Dvs: yeah
C_Dvs: ure right
C_Dvs: u cant edit for SHITZ
FF42: So you believe me?
C_Dvs: yea hold up imma just freak out for a moment
C_Dvs: be back in a giffy
Giffy? Who even says that anymore.
Feugo sighed and flopped back on his bed. He turned and looked at Neo, who must be deep in thought.
"You doin' okay there?"
There was no answer. Not even the non-verbal one. He might as well be invisible.
He bit his lip and went to Instagram to check the message. Still no response. Even after his relentless messages that begged for them to explain something, anything.
His phone beeped. Clementine messaged him.
C_Dvs: wait
C_Dvs: whys she using ur laptop?
C_Dvs: assuming that IS actually ur laptop
C_Dvs: and u didnt, like, steal it from a poor old lady
Feugo's fingers hovered, hesitant. They trembled, along with his lips. He pushed through the sensation.
FF42: She's finding out that she's not actually…
Actually what? Fictional? From another universe?
FF42: From a crappy anime
C_Dvs: :o
C_Dvs: fox
C_Dvs: that is like
C_Dvs: the worst idea ever
FF42: I knoooow
FF42: It was a spur of the moment thing
FF42: She was gonna kill me if I didn't do anything!
C_Dvs: shit fam
C_Dvs: u gotta comfort her n stuff
FF42: How?
C_Dvs: ummmmm
C_Dvs: idk dude
C_Dvs: im, like, the worst at emotional stuff
FF42: Clem you just wrote a story about a musician and her fan falling in love
FF42: It is, quite frankly, the most heartwarming story I've seen
C_Dvs: dude shut up
C_Dvs: im supposed to be a badass
C_Dvs: stop ruining my rep
FF42: Everyone knows you're a softie Clem
C_Dvs: fuck u im hardcore
FF42: You know what
FF42: Forget it
FF42: Now what am I supposed to do
C_Dvs: well we can figure things out AFTER shes calmed down
Feugo looked back at Neo, who hadn't moved an inch and typed and scrolled down on his laptop with a precision he wished he had.
FF42: But she IS calm
C_Dvs: shell shock
C_Dvs: ever heard of it?
C_Dvs: plus wheres she gonna stay now that shes here
Oh, shit. He hadn't thought of that.
C_Dvs: y dont u screenshot me this acc u talked abt
C_Dvs: and i research more
FF42: Thanks Clem
FF42: You're the best
C_Dvs: ikr
Feugo turned off his phone and brainstormed.
He needed some way to calm her down and make her feel less of an alien here.
An idea popped into his head. One that was insane and could possibly get him killed out of rage.
"Hey, Neo, what do you think about Baskin Robins?"
Funny thing is that the messaging thing happened before Feugo and I started messaging each other, and my prediction as to HOW he typed messages turned out to be correct! (Long messages. With grammar.)
