I'm not sure who's been saying what, sweet thing, but I'm lewd in the mornings, not crude. It's completely different. If you and your pants come down to my ship tonight, I'll show you.

Ringo frowned at her phone. That was Kathy's voice, but what did that message even mean?
"A threesome? With my roommate and Sparkle? What did I do to make you think I wanted anything like that?"
"Are you hallucinating? Running a fever?" Oh no! "Are you sick? Should I come over and check?"

"Hey Rey, it's Duke. Just wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be heading out of town for a few days for the holiday. Apparently it didn't occur to Bill to invite me before the day before the holiday. What can you do. I should be back in plenty of time for our next yoga session, but I pestered you about leaving so it's only fair that I let you know when I go, right?
"Anyway. I'll text you or something this weekend so you know I'm not dead. And see you next week. Happy Thanksgiving.
"Bye."

At some point today, Rey was going to find a large weapon rack with a note attached to it, waiting for her in the hallway.
It wasn't an especially fancy one, but it was solid and well made, beautifully stained and varnished, with places for every type of weapon that she'd brought back from Exandria — with room to add more.
The note read:
She'd figured moving it into the apartment wasn't going to be hard, anyway.

The note read:
Rey:
I said I was going to do this, and I did. Thanks for coming to help. I know it had to be rough, but maybe this will help a little bit?
Actually, this is thanks from Jester and Fjord, too. I asked them to find a place in Zadash to get this made, and they came through.
There's probably a dick carved in it somewhere, though. Because Jester.
Seriously though, thanks again. I'll return the favor if you ever need it.
— Beauregard
She'd figured moving it into the apartment wasn't going to be hard, anyway.
Awww.
Once she was done, Rey sent a text that just said Thank you. We should talk soon, along with a picture of it set up. Because you better believe she did that right away.

In the predawn hours of Friday morning, Rey got a short text:
shes back

It was a good while after that that Rey actually checked her phone. (Who called her here?)
Well, that was good news. Surprising, but good.
What happened?

"Hey Rey, it's Duke. Just wanted to let you know I'm heading out of town for awhile. So I'll miss our yoga session. I'll let you know when I'm back."
just got back. trip went okay.
You know, for a certain value of "okay".

Late, late on Sunday night, a text came through.
He's back.
Then, a moment later, as Octavia figured a little more heads-up might be good:
It was a month for him and it was a rough time.

Rey was up. And while she hadn't been checking her phone constantly, she'd also made sure she could see it at all times for reasons like this.
So the answer was immediate: Is he okay?

Don't ask how Eleanor got Rey's number. Kitty said to call friends and honestly Eleanor was looking for anyone who might be under 25 to join her.
She also had not seen her at the party yet. She's possibly distracted by Lucifer's French maid outfit.
"Rey! Buddy! Pal! Dressy Trashy and come down to Carrot bar. Carrot? Caritas! Yeah. I'm surrounded by old people and it's weirding me out! They're showing the Petey Stoney Supernatural Movie Show. And remember the old people? They are in costume! Help Rey I don't know your last name! You're my only help!"

Duke sent Rey a text Tuesday night, Fandom time.
Right so, definitely not making it home in time for yoga tomorrow. rain check?

And since Rey was on her way back to Fandom, she had time to check her phone.
Sure. everything ok?

i'm back. in the usual spot on the beach. did you miss me?
It was always a relief to get these texts.

And then, be right there

Annie was on a terribly, terribly-timed texting spree this morning, and decided to hit up Barry to see about something pretty important.
do you have refills for my glitter cannon?

The message from Annie was just flat out strange. So of course that demanded a response.
I haven't washed my hair in two days but whatever. And if you're inferring what I think you're inferring, I know I give off that kind of vibe but I'm really not into you. I'm happy to keep it at just drinking and... just drinking.

Of course Tony had to respond to the sweetest voicemail he'd ever received.
"You don't have to make anything up to me, sweetheart. You're already the very best thing I could hope for in life. Get here as soon as you can so I can give you a kiss for this."
"You don't have to make anything up to me, sweetheart. You're already the very best thing I could hope for in life. Get here as soon as you can so I can give you a kiss for this."
"Why would I need to talk to Lady Ghanima about fire being bad? I know that fire is bad. I really, really do."
I really don't think you want to fight me, T R U S T M E. let's just talk it out?
Also what was with calling her a bench? What? Was that an autocorrect thing? (If so, that was rude.)

Was the universe, or the island, trying to make a point about Stark being alone for so long? First the bath proposition and now this?
I haven't said anything about dating anyone! Or not dating anyone. I'm sure your kissing ability is fine but why are you telling me this??

I don't have any siblings. Or cousins. What's this about?
(That first part was, technically, not strictly true, but he didn't talk about that for a number of reasons, especially not in a text to who he thought was a stranger.)

Look, Rey, a voicemail for you, early in the afternoon!
"Hey, it's Annie. Um, everything's fine, I could just -- um. Use some advice, when you're around. Something...happened at work. Okay. Talk to you soon, hope you're doing well."

Sometime that Sunday, a text that managed to be triumphant even though it was just a text would hit Rey's phone.
We're in! Space Spa Date! February 10th! Be there or I bodily drag you there myself!

"Hello, Rey, it's, um, Master Skywalker. Anakin. I just realized I've never left you a message with my name in it before and now this has become a complete disa--"
*CLICK*
"Rey, it's me, just...checking in to see if you're all right. It's been a day here in Fandom and I know time works differently sometimes and I'm not concerned, exactly but--"
*CLICK*
"Rey, it's Anakin. Please return my call when you get a moment. I'm interested to know how things are going. May the Force be with you."
Nailed it.

Once they had the Falcon back, Rey got the voicemail. And while they didn't really have much time, she was able to shoot off a text.
I'm okay. Things are taking longer than I thought, but we're okay.
She was not! Like at all!

At some point near the end of the night Stark had intended to text Travis. Oops.
