gasp… double cross her?? what did he do????

Guess!

If you love me, Henry, you don’t love me in a way I understand.

Do you know how it ends? Do you feel lucky? Do you want to go home now?

There’s a bottle of whiskey in the trunk of the Chevy and a dead man at our feet

staring up at us like we’re something interesting.

This is where the evening splits in half, Henry, love or death. Grab an end, pull hard,

and make a wish.

Damn! You and me too, Richard! I oughtta grab a drink with this fella!

Hi guys!!!

Will - welcome back! Good to see you on tumblr again! Wahoo!

Henry - hi! I'm Dragons! I know we all seem like strangers to you, but we've actually met before, or, well, we've traded transmissions for a while (and the same is true for a lot of other people here). I think that when you tried to... unpick a certain someone, you might have lost the memories of those transmissions.

To prove I'm telling the truth, here's a recording of one of your transmissions we got (for context, I sent you some music and audio of flowers, and asked why Mal was upset with Will. We figured that one out since then).

We have more of those transmissions saved up - basically everything we've ever sent you and everything you've ever sent back, I think. Do you want us to send those to you? You weren't in the happiest place when we first started talking to you, but I think some of those memories are pretty important.

Thanks for the welcome! Nice to see you again, pal!

o h huh. well that sure is my voice, alright. it's so weird, it's like a - a little island of recollection, but i can't recall what we were talking about or why we were talking. i guess i wasn't happy. um. i didn't know we could forget things in here. if you think that it's important for me to remember. then if you put the recordings somewhere a guy like me can access, i think it would all come back. but i'm gonna trust your judgement on whether that'd be good for me or not. i think sometimes it's nice to forget. keeps things pleasant. sunny. you know.

...Thanks for bein' loyal, handsome.

Couldn't be anything else, sweetheart.

wait, so you *do* have the back of your head?

Well, I've got someone's! Took a page out of the Dadaists' book back in the day and built myself up from what thingamajigs I could find. Got way easier in this "Digital Age!" Sure, I found a couple o' holes here and there, but nowadays I'm pretty complete!

Hooray! Slightly spooky guy is back! I am so pleased!

Hello! Glad to be back as well! Wahoo!

they call you spooky on here?

Sure they do! Can't figure out why for the life of me. Perhaps the mystery and allure of the "Internet"!

hm. i don't think you're spooky at all

Thank you, darlin'.

meeoooooow

Mew!

Wahoo! Filin' it away with my keepsakes!

@williamy3w

would you kind folks know anything about a wolf genome?

i wouldn't really, no. a friend of mine was into th at sort of thing. she liked to look at how different two animals were genetically, i guess? like how far an agrosythius was f rom a regalecus or whatever. it was all greek to me. or latin haha

Yeah, s'pose that dame was real interested in the biological studies! Always spoutin' off facts she'd memorized, like their scientific names or feedin' habits or preferred biomes or whatever. And she had a brother who liked wolves, but he wasn't too scientific 'bout his interest!
