[Yeah what were they thinking, stomping through the bush for nothing. She's been good drinking company though, even if he'd wound up forfeiting speech and they'd dexterously tappa-tappa-tappa-ed their way through the small talk and the shit talk. Richie, meet Red. Ain't this place the pits?]
All in one piece, cousin, except the bits of my bowels I donated to their coffer bowl. You?

[ It's thanks to Bruce Wayne he's even able to do this. He'd put together a whole manual for Steve on how to use his phone. He needs to get better with it, so he's practicing, hence the message. ]
How's Richie today?
Just making sure you're alive and going to the gala.
I've managed to get some bar work for a bit of money. [ He has ulterior reasons. Bars are one of the best places for either overhearing information or coaxing it out of someone with alcohol. He doesn't know how to live and not scope out potential threats, apparently. ] I'm not saying free drinks, but you should come say hello.

[God bless Batman, because Richie's still too clumsy with the text to teach Steve himself. He hates the little buttons on the screen, there's no tactility and he has to backtrack to spellcheck half the time. He's mostly given up on caps accuracy, too...which unwittingly joins him with the millenial generation, congrats Rich] Richie is wrestling with rubble, the usual. Whatever took a wrecking ball to the place really went to town. How's Steve-o?
Are you kidding me? i'm not passing up a chance to get shitfaced and rip up the dance floor. I've earned it at least three times over already, i'm shocked it took them this long to posit a hoedown. people need a relaxer.
oh really? same here actually, where's your joint? i'll pop on by and stir a ruckus for you

Hello. This is Richie, yes?
It's Percival. Since you seem familiar with various different plants and animals, I was wondering if you could assist me. Might that knowledge extend to other unfamiliar things?
[ safe to say 420 blazeit session wasn't terrible ]
Your expertise on blazeweed was impressive. I was able to take some notes later that evening. After... the effects had worn off, of course.

I want to get drunk. No jokes, please, just answer with yes or no and, if the former, pick a location.
[About an hour later:]
Richie, I know you've seen this. Pretending to ignore me isn't going to work.

I'm sure you'll be putting up a fight against your captors. Just don't do anything stupid. Please.
We'll get very drunk once this is all over. I'll drink whatever you give me and not complain.
See you soon, Richie.

[It's several days before he can get word back. Things might have leaked to Steve's ears. They might not. They don't share regular social circles — Richie hasn't seen Diana in ages, and if Alan was always there and then gone, wisping out of sight like a shadow. Of those Richie's met independently only Byerly seems to have met him, and they're hardly bosom buddies to begin with.
He still delays writing. Three days down and a few spent back on his feet. Reeling. Unwilling to speak. Eventually it starts to wear at him and Richie caves. If only to stop any cavalries charging in.]
all's well on the western front.

[ Will Richie's inbox ever catch a break? Uncertain. There's another message left for him, later in the week, much shorter than the others. Clipped. Cool. ]
I understand that it has been a rather busy fortnight for the lot of us, but I seem to recall a promise of yours. That you would leap at the opportunity to fetch me, should I ever think to ask.
[ She laughs here, softly, at such a foolish claim (preemptively disregarding it), but nevertheless, she persists, ]
You seemed rather intent on it at the time. I should hope the springs have not quite worn out of your shoes just yet.

[Thanks for waiting until he was actually ready to talk Sandy.
It takes some time even so. A few hours. Eventually she gets a call back. He sounds slightly hoarse. Blame it on the booze, or one of the fancy tabs he'd taken that had him heaving up the next morning. It's been a bad week.]
Hey there, Greensleeves. I don't have much spring'n me step, but I'd like to borrow your time anyhow. That sound all right with you?

Madame Sandra, I have not heard from you in quite some time. I hope you have fared well?
[God. He shouldn't. He really shouldn't. Especially after the man himself (whose voice, soft and just left of modern Parisian is instantly recognizable) was so damn generous he'd make the Good Samaritan scuff the ground with a shameful boot, but hey.
Today's the day, and he's got the skills. Sandy would forgive him, surely.
He clears his throat, and his own voice leaps to the bottom as another rises to overtake it.]
Difficult to say, my dear sir: can one truly fare better or fare worse when there is so little that makes for change? I have been well, but I should hardly be expected to bear news.
You on the other hand, surely you have tales to regale me with. Come now, out with them. My only constant is the quiet. Disrupt it some for me, won't you?

Instead of an actual reply, there is a voicemail. Open it up and you're getting a second hand throwback, starting with a record scratch and then a jump into Little Richard's best and brightest. Why are you so nosy, Foster? He might have been skipping class but his ass is his own to watch.
