text; failed encryption

[iceboxed]

[it's a text message, but not by choice for once. instead, it's by necessity. the idea of trying to talk when he can't really hear himself any more is-- well, it's something he'd like to avoid having to think about too much right now. the message itself is one filled with locks. locks that, thanks to the technology glitches, are next to useless. not that he knows that just yet.]

how many of you are sick right now
how bad

[because waking up ill is never a good thing. not when you're not meant to be able to get sick any more. there's a delay before he finally adds--]

full moon's tomorrow
i think i need to be knocked out this time

[there's no way of knowing whether the room will stay locked or not. or whether anyone else will stay well enough to keep him in check.

and that's it. or at least, that's as far as that message goes. a switch of locks (as useless as it may be) and it's time to do something he knows is a bad idea.]

i don't know if you're watching this thing still or not but
you helped us before even if people don't really see it that way
i know we haven't given you any reason to do it again but
what're we meant to do
how do we stop this
please


ooc; any voice posts will go unanswered as his hearing is deteriorating rapidly. video replies won't fare much better, though he'll at least know they're there to respond to

[They aren't exactly at the best spot, she knows that, but she also knows that if he needs help she wouldn't turn her back on him.]

If you need help, I can help.

[She might be sick, but she's at least still capable of standing and putting up with someone else and whatever fight might be left in them.]

i don't need any help

[though the rejection has nothing to do with who it's coming from, for once. instead it's because the message is still out there and easy to read.]

I know, but if you need it you still have me, too.

[She knows that this could set herself up for him being really hurtful, but she's done trying to be mindful of his behavior.]

[his first response, an i don't need you, is typed and deleted without being sent. instead--]

fine
whatever

[that's better, right?]

[She just exhales and shakes her head at his response. This is why sometimes she's not even sure she should want to fix things, because he's being not just stubborn but immature. She doesn't even want to reply, because she'd sooner not have another series of responses from him like this.]
