so hey i'm Asking For A Friend ;) but how many other immortals are here in the quarantine? any?

also! important question!! what did everyone get told when they got here? what questions did you ask? i wanna know what we're working with! Let's Work Together!

p.s., if you want to answer the first question without a name there are burner phones available at [ small list of locations ] to make unattached accounts. i'm just looking for at least numbers! names would be radical too of course!

i hear immortality's pretty hot these days!! plenty to protect with something like that!

[ Should he have added a tl;dr? ]

[leatherdaddy]

what are you even talking about?

[ Why is this guy talking as if immortality is a fashion trend? Gladio's starting to wonder what he's missing here because surely he doesn't mean for-real immortality right? ]

[aeturnus]

i'm talking about if people want to admit they're immortal, i totally get if they wanna do it ~*~off the record~*~!

[leatherdaddy]

uh ok

and you're just gonna take their word for it?

[ Gladio grins at his phone, wondering if this guy is trolling. Kinda funny, and he's not really doing anything right at the moment so why not engage in some foolish banter with some anonymous person on the network? ]

[aeturnus]

well yeah, it's not hard evidence or anything but why not see how many respond anyway?

[leatherdaddy]

in that case

I have within my possession photographic proof of a god among men here

[aeturnus]

[ oh my god ]

and you're withholding the goods? how dare you sir!

/dabs

[leatherdaddy]

okay so don't spread this around but you seem like a trustworthy anonymous so here you go

[ attachment.jpg ]

drink it in, mortals

[aeturnus]

[ Yep, he knew it. And he's laughing. Dude, please. ]

or immortals as the case may be! very impressive!!

[leatherdaddy]

[ Just trolling trolls, or at least Gladio thinks he is. ]

uh huh

you should join the guard, could always do with another meat shield - go make yourself useful if you're unkillable.

[aeturnus]

well maybe so but it's not invulnerability so My Friend would only be good for like one or two hits at a time!

[leatherdaddy]

[ Gladio takes a while to reply because anon here seems to be serious. Too serious. ]

that's still one or two hits that won't kill someone else

well not permanently

[aeturnus]

[ He's (un)deadly serious, dear Gladio. ]

true true! might freak out a bunch of new recruits too :D

[leatherdaddy]

ngl it would be a pretty effective wake-up call

so this 'friend' of yours can't take a hit but can't die? how does that work

[aeturnus]

painfully? it's like he gets hit and goes down but it heals even if he should be all dead and no more healing you know?

[leatherdaddy]

that's a pretty handy ability

tell your 'friend' that I'd be happy to train him or her up so they can put that to good use

[aeturnus]

oh yeah? where could My Friend reach you?

[ It's not a bad prospect, actually... ]

[leatherdaddy]

I'm an independent contractor - Combat Tactics and Survival Instructor to be precise

Let him or her contact Gladiolus Amicitia, text is fine or just leave a message. Can sort out the details later.

[aeturnus]

cool, cool!

next question: is this going to cost My Friend an arm and a leg?

[leatherdaddy]

What, don't think I'm worth it?

Just pulling your leg. Not directly. The government compensates me. There's an investment of time of course.

[aeturnus]

nah, i saw your selfie remember? i bet you're real strong!

that's super cool! nice cushy job?

[leatherdaddy]

sure

if you call riding people's asses making them fighting fit all day 'cushy' - it pays the bills, gets me outside... what's not to love

[aeturnus]

never said it was easy for the trainee! but you've gotta be used to it by now!

[leatherdaddy]

I gotta be honest, this is sorta old hat for me. I'm not complaining.

So what's your story?

[aeturnus]

MY story? what kind of story are you asking about?
