Chapter 126 - Dispatch 8: Chat With the Homies

[One Week Later]

[Evan and his Entourage]

Computer Chip: Cyrus

Computer Chip: How we looking?

Tree: The moustache is growing in. But the rest…not so much.

Tree: I think I might have to just settle for a goatee.

Dumbbell: What are you talking about?

Spool: These two idiots are having a competition to see who can grow the most facial hair over the next month.

Snake: Why?

Computer Chip: Just because.

Computer Chip: Anyways…

Computer Chip: How's training going?

Tree: Pretty good.

Snake: Good.

Dumbbell: Your aunt is fucking insane!

Spool: We tried to tell you.

Dumbbell: I've had my ass beat every single day I've been here!

Dumbbell: Why didn't anyone tell me that Victor was so strong?!

Computer Chip: Is he? He's only a B-rank, right?

Tree: I guess this is why Ayako always said to never pay too much attention to rankings.

Spool: How's Texas treating you, Maria?

Snake: It's been tough so far. But I can't really complain.

Tree: At least you guys get to be somewhere fun. There's nothing to do out here.

Spool: You're staying with Alyssa, right?

Tree: Yeah.

Spool: She hasn't tried anything weird with you, has she?

Spool: I know her uncle is trying to get you to join their family.

Tree: No, she's been cool so far.

Tree: Plus, she told me about what her uncle was planning and is helping me avoid some of her relatives.

Dumbbell: Sounds like a mess.

Tree: Constanza has been great, though. I've already learned a lot thanks to her help.

Computer Chip: Makes sense. She is one of our sister's minions.

Computer Chip: I heard that her magic is pretty scary, though.

Tree: It is. Believe me.

Snake: What kind is it?

Tree: Poison plant magic.

Dumbbell: That sounds terrifying.

Tree: It is.

Spool: You guys need to go out and have some fun while you have the chance!

Spool: Who knows when you'll get another chance like this?

Spool: And send pictures!

Dumbbell: No promises.

Dumbbell: I've been too sore to do anything other than have your aunt and cousin try to electrocute me every thirty minutes.

Snake: Better than getting your ribs cracked open by Alexander Conley twice a day.

Snake: And no…I'm not exaggerating.

Computer Chip: Jesus Christ.

Computer Chip: Thank the universe for healing magic users, right?

Tree: At least you guys don't know what it feels like to inhale the low-grade magical equivalent of chlorine gas.

Tree: It's not a fun experience.

Spool: And this is why I will never envy you DPA guys.

Spool: Thanks for all that you do, though!

Dumbbell: Right…

Computer Chip: Please tell me that you guys at least have some downtime.

Dumbbell: I do. But I usually just spend most of it resting.

Dumbbell: Victor and some guy named Keisuke Watanabe invited me to go to a sorcerer's only club this weekend. But I definitely won't be able to make it.

Tree: Alyssa's taking me to a baseball game in a few days. So I have that to look forward to.

Snake: Sam and Alex are taking me to a rodeo on Saturday.

Spool: Oh yeah…you're definitely in Texas.

Computer Chip: Sounds like you guys are having a good time!

Computer Chip: Aside from getting the snot regularly beat out of you, that is.

Computer Chip: Anywhos…it's past my bedtime. I just wanted to check in and see how you guys were holding up.

Spool: We'll be treating you guys to a nice dinner when you get back!

Dumbbell: Awww…you don't need to do all that.

Tree: Seriously.

Snake: Agreed.

Computer Chip: Too bad! We're doing it anyway!

Spool: We're mainly doing it as an excuse to test out some of the new dishes that the owner of Aurum wants to introduce to the menu.

Spool: He wanted some customer feedback. And we volunteered to be the lab rats.

Tree: Sounds good to me.

Tree: Who am I to turn down some good food?

Computer Chip: Ttygl.

Dumbbell: Good night!

Snake: Have a good one.

Spool: I hope you guys have fun with the rest of your god-forsaken training!

Tree: Good night.

Computer Chip: Oh, btw. Elizabeth, that quiche you put in the oven is burning. You should probably go handle that.

Spool: EVAN, YOU BASTARD! I TOLD YOU TO TURN THE STOVE OFF!

Computer Chip: Nope. Not my problem.

Spool: YOU'RE IN THE LIVING ROOM RIGHT NOW!

Computer Chip: Technically, I'm flying up to my room right now.

Computer Chip: Good night! Love you! ;-)
