I'm looking for someone that's got a green thumb. [ He pauses for a brief moment and, once he realizes that could be taken literally, he adds on: ] The planting type, not an actual one. I've got a plant in my room that's struggling to survive, so I need some tips on how to keep it from dying completely. [ There's a bit of a grin in his voice when he says, ] And yes, I know I need to water it daily.

[ Yes, he ran out and yes, he's put this off for as long as he possibly could. Admitting to the fact that he doesn't have any - growing or otherwise - is a lot like admitting failure. ]

FILTERED MESSAGE TO SECURITY TEAM MEMBERS | 95% ENCRYPTION

[ There's a very long stretch of silence - closing in on about eight minutes, actually - after Mason first sets up the filter. He's not entirely sure he wants to go through with this but he knows that there's a very high chance of him getting out and hurting someone. Maybe if he warns people - the right people - he'll be able to try to prevent it from happening. Not that he's expecting anyone to risk their life in order to keep him locked up someplace, but they'll be aware of it and, if absolutely necessary, could figure out some way to put him down before he does any sort of damage. ]

[ He only sounds mildly uncomfortable with talking about this, which is a hell of an accomplishment considering how he feels completely exposed right now. ]

[ There's another pause, this one shorter, before he ends the feed. ]

[ Mason's torn between Oh thank god and Right, Klaus is a douchebag and turned you into a freak of nature. ] How much do you have?

Enough for probably one transformation, at least. [Not a lot, but better than nothing.]

I'll take what I can get. You still playing lap dog for Klaus? [ Yes, sometimes Mason can't resist making dog jokes. Sue him. ]

Yeah, I am for now.

Where do you wanna meet up, then? Or do you just want to hide it somewhere and I'll pick it up once you're gone? [ This is scarily similar to a drug deal. ]

I could come drop it by your room, if you want. Or you can come here.

My room works. [ No sense running the risk of Klaus surprising them in Tyler's room, assuming he does that. ] Ten minutes?

Yeah, I'll be there in ten.

Great. [ He ends the feed and is obnoxiously thankful Tyler's got enough for this month. He really shouldn't have waited so long. ]
