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.

[ just 8| forever. ]

I said I didn't need to hear it.

...Hey, Mason.

[ You just get an annoyed What? look, Jenna. ]

You seem a little irrational and emotional, there. PMS? Need a Midol?

[ OH LOOK SHE FOUND THE JOKE AFTER ALL. ]

[ He still looks annoyed but there might be the tiniest fraction of amusement on his face, too. If she looks close enough. ] Cute.

Adorable.

...anything you need, you know you always can just call me, right? Just because we're older now doesn't mean the old rules change-- bros before hos.

[ Okay, now he looks less annoyed. He even chuckles a little as he nods. ] Yeah, I know. I figured you wouldn't have a supply of wolfsbane hidden beneath your mattress, though.

I don't-- but still. I would totally beat the other kids up and steal their wolfsbane for you.

I only know a handful of people who would have it and it seems like everybody's running low.

Mostly I was kidding about the beating up, but-- there has to be a better way to do this, Mason. You know I'm right.

Yeah, I know, that's why I asked instead of using physical violence. [ He's going with the joke here because he doesn't want to discuss other ways of keeping him sedated and/or locked up. He's got Remus and Sirius helping him tonight and Tyke's offered her... whatever it is, but that doesn't mean he likes chatting about it.

Hell, he doesn't even like taking any of them up on their offers. Relying on people, no matter who they are, to help him through this? Not exactly on his list of favorite things. ]

Fine, whatever. I can stop pushing, but just-- seriously, Mason. Program the holodeck to look like the falls and we can pretend it's high school again, I don't care. I'm still there.

[ He nods. ] I know. Trust me, I know. The only thing I can do to get rid of you is disappear to California. [ He's teasing; that wasn't the reason he ran. In fact, it was one of the reasons he didn't want to run. ]

Hey, some of us had to do our blackout drinking in college like fine, upstanding young Americans. [ but her smile's soft, nostalgic. ] Don't think I haven't wondered a few million times what saying 'screw college' and going with you would have been like.

I wouldn't have let you go. [ Partially because having someone else from home with him would increase the likelihood of him going back (or keeping in better touch) and partially because he needed room to breathe. ] Someone had to better themselves with some more schooling while the rest of us just bummed around.

Whatever, I could have made convinced you. But you're right, I'm clearly the mature one.

[ He snorts and rolls his eyes. ] Sure, let's go with that.

Denial is sad and it makes you look old.

Ouch. That really hurt my feelings. [ Except it didn't, even if she had meant it. Mason knows he looks good. ]

What-- Mason, was that your hairline receding?

Actually, it's me hanging up on you. [ BYE JENNA. ]
