[ thomas has not been a common presence on the network since his arrival to the drabwurld; gaining the ability to talk telepathically with the people who've been close to him have made it fairly easy for him to communicate without it. but this time, thomas addresses the network at large, although only with a (perhaps semi-familiar) voice.

he sounds uneasy. tired. ]

Do any of you have nightmares? How do you deal with them?

[ it's a stab at anonymity, mostly because he doesn't want to show his face, but the storms currently raging over head have not made his life any easier. thomas sleeps fitfully, twenty minutes at a time, wakes up screaming. no one's going to see his face as an effect of that. eventually, he tacks on a soft--]

It is! I swear, I swear. Next time I'll be sure to get a photo of it. Or a video. A video might be better proof.

[ she's busy hiding her smile in her pillow after that, even though he can't see it. it's still kind of ridiculous ]

[ teresa why are you so cute

thomas is definitely staring off into the distance like the twitterpated teenager he in fact is. ] Yeah, whatever. [ he doesn't sound nearly as huffy as he probably should sound.

[munies]

You really think you can handle that, Greenie?

[ she's trying to sound tough but she actually probably sounds kind of prurient. flirting is so complicated. ]

You're the greenie. [ god how many times does he have to tell people that okay teresa came last, not him!!!

[munies]

No, no, I- was the last one, ever. You were the last Greenie ever. [ no it doesn't make sense, but she sounds fully confident in that reasoning ] It's okay. Green suits you.

What kind of something?
