sunday morning ~5:14am, after the earthquake

[imaginist]

Did anyone else feel that?

[...] I'm going to Research.

hold yr horses n brush your teeth or something u are not gonna be able to glue the earth back together no matter what the machines say

[imaginist]

You say that like I'm concerned about the structural integrity of the station. I just want to see some new data.

[beautyfull]

well as long as yr priorities are good

[imaginist]

Three minutes now. I was already awake and dressed, for your information.

[beautyfull]

good then u have such ample time to make me a nespresso in yr idle remaining 180 seconds

[imaginist]

You'd better be prepared to chug that coffee, because I'm not slowing down once we go.

[beautyfull]

i'm just gettin my shoes on and i've been to way more spin classes than u so who's really gonna be making us slow...

[imaginist]

And I'm already out the door. We can make coffee at the lab.

[beautyfull]

i'd yell at u but i'd predicted this betrayal
hello knock.

[rainbowfish]

I also want coffee.

[imaginist]

What do you think about getting three coffees and bringing them to Research?

[rainbowfish]

Now hold on a second.

[imaginist]

Look at it this way: if the ground crumbles and the entire station falls into the lake, you of all people will probably be fine.

[rainbowfish]

What kind of coffee do you want?

[beautyfull]

omg hi please literally anything that saves me from the lab Mr. Coffee but if u choose to be an ultra saviour a lil oatmilk vanilla latte

[rainbowfish]

I'll see what I can do, but don't get your hopes up.

[beautyfull]

ok i'm not actually picky thank you so much are u gonna come hang out in the lab too

[rainbowfish]

As soon as I scrounge up some oat milk I am.

[rainbowfish]

I'm a little concerned about the structural integrity of the station.

[imaginist]

This facility is state-of-the-art! Surely everyone will be safe as long as they stay indoors.

[rainbowfish]

Good thing your first instinct was to get up and go outside.

[imaginist]

Worried about me?

[rainbowfish]

I know you can handle yourself.

[imaginist]

Not my first rodeo, etc. Will you change your mind about the coffee if I tell you that the ground appears to be intact?

[rainbowfish]

Oh, yeah, definitely. I'm going back to bed. (I'm on my way over.)
