[in the nebulous time after Kara's talk with Jacuzzi and the Dians' and also him moving in I guess idk they get a voice message]

Pssst! Mister and Miss Dian! I have a request to make of you.

[...Kara you don't need to whisper, the message is already private this isn't going to make it extra private]

via network pm

[originaloddcouple]

[It doesn't matter if its private or not, the Dians are gonna follow her lead and whisper back.]

We'd be happy to help!

What do you need?

[chernobolt]

I wish to coordinate a warming of Jacuzzi's new place of residence! He informed me I should speak with you as it is your home, although I suspect it is because he hopes you will tell me no.

[she laughs a little, the sound also a whisper because uh otherwise that'd completely ruin the whole thing]

[originaloddcouple]

[They gasp in surprise because OH WOWOW WHAT A THOUGHT!]

But that sounds like a great idea!

What do you think we should get for him?

[chernobolt]

I am not entirely certain! I was considering making some dishes from home to bring, but that would be rather lacking as a complete gift. What is customary here for such events?

[originaloddcouple]

Well, we can set up some balloons and streamers and stuff for decorations.

Maybe we could all pitch in to get him something that'd help him with college work?

[chernobolt]

Oh, that would be lovely! I think it would seem so much nicer if it is from all of us.

[hmmm, now, what to get in particular?]

Did you happen to see what he owns already as you were moving in? I would not wish to purchase a double.

[originaloddcouple]

We saw a couple of his things...
We could sneak in there and check what he has...

[chernobolt]

Be careful if you do! We do not wish to be caught and forced to explain ourselves.

[that'd ruin the surprise]

[originaloddcouple]

You got it!

Be right back!

[There's about a four minute pause.

During that time, the couple carefully sneaked over to Jacuzzi's guest room and opened the door.

Presumably, Jacuzzi was in his room doing whatever Jacuzzi does.

Presumably, they stared at each other for minute before he finally asked what was going on.

Presumably, there was another minute of staring at each, the Dians started to sweat profusely.

And finally, the Dians presumably raced out of the room, slamming the door behind them. They race back to their own room, grab their connection to the network, and pant heavily.]

W-we only g-got a quick look... [Pant pant.]

B-but we might be a-able to figure out w-what he could need!

[chernobolt]

Oh, I hope that you did not expose yourself to undue amounts of danger!

[because obviously sneaking around someone else's room is an incredibly risky venture. good concern priorities, Kara]

What did you manage to learn?

[originaloddcouple]

W-we should be alright!

It l-looks like he has plenty of books, pencils, [Breath.] notebooks... I don't think we saw a planner or anything though!

[chernobolt]

I see! What about a laptop?

[originaloddcouple]

Ooooh! He could use something like that!

That would probably be incredibly helpful

[chernobolt]

Wonderful! Then that is what we shall do! It will require a bit of research to ensure we purchase the best one, I think.

[originaloddcouple]

Good thinking!

We better make sure he has all the right software and everything!

[chernobolt]

Oh yes, that will be most vital! He will need to process the words on it, and perhaps do other tasks as well.

[she 'hm's softly]

I am not certain what programs on my own are specific to major! But I am certain that together we can figure it out.

[originaloddcouple]

We can do anything when we work together!

[ENTHUSIASM!]

This is gonna be the best welcoming party yet!

[chernobolt]

It absolutely will! We will all make certain of it.

[GETTING PUMPED!!!]

I simply cannot wait! This will be exactly what everyone needs after current events, I think.

[originaloddcouple]

That's right!

This'll help cheer everyone up!

[Fact.]

[chernobolt]

I truly hope so! We will do our best to make this a reality, and that is really what matters the most.

[also she's pretty sure that with the three of them combined they can actually pull this off]

voice to isaac

[gunhearted]

[You know he's not even waiting for isaac to answer the second he thinks someone's picked up, he's wordvomiting all over their ears.]

Isaac please you gotta listen to me I know you might be mad and that's okay but you really gotta listen because somebody's in real danger there's this girl Nice on the network now she's one of us but I think I know her I mean I think I knew her I mean--[breath]--I had a class with her and the last me knew her and you and Miria knew her too if this is the same person but you can't talk to her no matter what something terrible could happen everybody's changing right like their hair and their eyes and some people are turnin' into animals and--[breath]--please listen... please... [It's slowing down now because Jacuzzi is sobbing he's at his breaking point here it has been the worst week ever.]

The girl I remember, she's covered in scars and she only has one eye. She's the reason he got this tattoo because she was afraid--if we talk to her we might make her remember somethin'--and if we do--if we do--

[Jacuzzi does not want to see a nice girl end up with only one eye.]

[originaloddcouple]

[Okay uh wow not a call he expected so quickly.]

It's alright buddy. Let's... just breathe for a second, okay? Take as long you need.

[gunhearted]

[Okay. Breathing. How is he gonna explain this.]

The first thing that ever happened to me was this tattoo.

Nice--the Nice he knew--she had terrible scars, all over! And she lost an eye, too, when they were kids! I get echoes off you guys all the time. If she does too, what if she ends up like that?!

[originaloddcouple]

[Isaac slowly processes the information.]

Oh... OH that girl on the train right!

Hmmmm... I'm not sure buddy. That's.... a really tough situation.
