[ it's been a rough month for jessica — stuck in this hellhole with a bunch of morons and assholes. present company included.

it's almost midnight, and with her stomach full of hard liquor, she's in the perfect position to make a poor life choice. so she finds herself posting on the network. there's no username attached; she prefers anonymity for this topic. well, here goes nothing. ]

i've heard the same old crap about the portal. that it takes people who need a home.

but is there any way to predict when it happens, or who will show up? can it even pull in someone who's dead?

[ oh, it's him... #ugh #awkward ]

yeah. i get the picture.

[potentialed]

[ YEAH IT'S HIM. He's kinda better versed in this than u are, Jones. ]

You don't get much of it if you're asking everyone else about it.

[ just saiyen ]

[hardedged]

[ jess knows she can't be too abrasive while she's anonymous, or she might give the game away. even if it's tempting. that little shit. ]

look up. [ at the rest of her post, she means. ] already got my answer.

[potentialed]

You could try being a little more polite to the people answering you.

[ Looking up is making him all sorts of /squint at this. He can think of someone with this shitty an attitude. Doesn't have proof of who it is tho. ]

[hardedged]

[ he truly is an asshole. keep your cool, jones. don't let him— oh, screw it. ]

or you could just back off

private like whoa;

[potentialed]

[ well shit ]

Jones, you are bad at this anon shit.

Like Impressively bad.

[hardedged]

[ #fml ]

go to hell

[potentialed]

Maybe someday but not today. I'm as stuck on this moon as you and everyone else is.

[hardedged]

i don't have time for your bullshit. we're done here.

[potentialed]

Oh I'm sorry, am I taking up your valuable time being anonymous and assholish on the Network?

[hardedged]

yep

[potentialed]

Need to get some better hobbies. Maybe knitting.

[hardedged]

and maybe you can mind your own business for a goddamn change

[potentialed]

You made this PUBLIC. It's not a matter of "minding my own business".

Plus, I think you're just mad I figured out it was you. Your speech patterns are very noticeable.

[ Stephen, when did u turn into Hermoine. ]

[hardedged]

jesus. what's your problem? go find someone else to piss off already.

[potentialed]

Can't sleep. And I thought we were having a conversation. Not actually trying to piss you off.

[ That's not entirely true but Stephen isn't about to admit that first thing. ]

[hardedged]

let me guess. you just have a natural talent for it.

[potentialed]

Yeah I've been told that before.

[ And sometimes exploited it. ]

[hardedged]

[ UGH just go to hogwarts already, strange, and leave her alone ]

yet you never learned how to shut up

[potentialed]

That too.

[ Only if you go with him, Jess. He wants to know which House they would toss you into. ]

[hardedged]

[ so he can poke fun at her when they both discover she's the world's grumpiest hufflepuff? pass. ]

whatever. you can go now.

[potentialed]

[ what a sour puff ]

Nah.

[hardedged]

then i will

[ bye 👍 ]

[potentialed]

One day you're going to have to learn to actually talk to someone.

[hardedged]

as long as it's not you
