Alessa:Star, you will have to come to a house party we’re having soon. Bring Conor?

Lodestar:You sure?

Maverick:I need to apologize to him anyway.

Alessa:Yes, you do.

Lodestar:When is it?

Maverick:We got a few coming up.

Lodestar:I’m heading to the UK for a funeral but once I’m back, I’ll come. Thanks for thinking of me.

Alessa:You are a Sinner lol. I didn’t think of you. I just know you’re busy.

Lodestar:I’m not a Sinner.

Maverick:You are. Maybe our first girl too.

Alessa:Don’t tell Giulia that.

Lodestar:LOL. Or if you do, tell her when I’m there?

Maverick:Hahaha.

Maverick:Who died?

Lodestar:You don’t know her. Just her handle. Ovianar.

Maverick:Shame. She was a hot-shit cracker.

Alessa:Like a Saltine?

Lodestar:No. Crackers crack code lol.

Alessa:Oh! Oops.

Lodestar:Let me know when the dates of the house parties are and we’ll head over.

Maverick:Take care at the funeral.

Alessa:Much love to you for your loss. <3

Lodestar:Thanks, guys.

Dead To Me:Foundry hasn’t got a nose anymore. Want a pic?

aCooooig:No.

Troy:I do. Send it to me privately.

Lodestar:What else hasn’t he got?

Dead To Me:No ears either. There’s a lot of gore, Star. It’s going to attract a cougar or a bobcat soon. It’s a miracle we haven’t already.
