Hey, Turquoise?

Your crazy fairy friend seems to have tried to murder me again. Some help would be nice.
Come quick though, I think my vision's going all blurry.

I can't believe what people just post here.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

I don't know about you but a public network seems like a pretty good place to post a plea for help.

voice for now;

Why direct it to one person? Why not a voice call?

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

What if that one person doesn't get the call in time? At least this way someone will see it.

[payback]

So just open it up and ask for help from all and sundry.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

Yep, pretty much. Effective isn't it? Certainly got your attention.

[payback]

But you named someone.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

Because I wanted one specific person and, if she had not been available, someone else would see the message. In this case, you.

I don't see how this is such a difficult concept to grasp.

[payback]

It just seems pretty pointless.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

A plea for help from a possibly dying man is pointless? Such a cold bitch you are.

[payback]

No, your weird, unnecessary framing is pointless. If you're that frantic, I'd expect you to sound like it.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

Text makes sound now? How odd. Would you feel better if I screamed at my tablet?

1/2

[payback]

It's colloquial, and actually I would.

[payback]

But it's too late now.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

And how, exactly, is it too late?

[payback]

You already sounded kind of overly blase about the whole thing.

Besides, it looks like your friend is already coming for you.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

Depends on perspective. You're is obviously rather limited.

Indeed she is. She's very reliable when it comes to things like this.

[payback]

[Eyerolling.] Allow me to provide you comfort while you wait: if you die, no big deal. The Initiative will revive you. There's your perspective.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

Oh, I know. It's happened before. Hence the "again" in my post. Death isn't very pleasant though and I'd rather avoid repeating the experience.

[payback]

Too bad your perspective doesn't do much for you.

[mr_wing_tip_shoes]

Quite the opposite. Yours just doesn't allow you to see it. That, or you're just unfortunately dense.

[payback]

[All these jabs. Still, she's had worse.]

If you have so much perspective, just let yourself die and save your friend the trouble.
