text; during 1950s plot

[ownperson]

for the love of fuck please answer this and tell me you're fucking alive

[bothbarrels]

Alive, yes. Confused and alarmed as hell, also yes.

[ownperson]

[ What follows is a frantic string of texts. ]

oh thank fuck

this fucking shit in my head, this other person, she's an only child and i thought

nothing ever misses a fucking chance to use the twin thing

ever. never once in our lives

i thought

thank fuck

[bothbarrels]

Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm still here.

I don't know who these people are but I'm nothing like mine.

[ownperson]

don't know what i'd have done if you weren't okay.

i don't get it, when has anyone or anything ever had both of us in one place and not used the twin thing?

and mine's fucking married to washington

or his fucking character person, whatever

[bothbarrels]

Hey, did they leave you Delta? I don't have Theta.

[ownperson]

[ Shit. Considering she doesn't, in fact, have Delta, she should have guessed Theta would be gone too, but she'd wondered if him definitely being implanted would have made a difference. ]

no, he's not around my neck or in my implants

i can't tell if he was pulled or in the puck whenever whatever this shit is hit, though. delta like

he doesn't integrate very deep. don't know if i'd feel it if he was implanted and pulled, y'know?

fuck. you freaking out about that? you okay? actually no i know you won't be okay so don't try and bullshit me

[bothbarrels]

I'm not okay. I want to know where he is.

And Wash is your husband? At least tell me you're not supposed to be 20 years old.

[ownperson]

we'll find them. they'll be somewhere. okay? we'll get your fuckin computer kid back.

[ She's not sure if she actually believes that, but, if only for North's sake, she wants to. ]

well that's fuckin specific. no i think i'm older, actually, there's a fuckin teenager from the rig here too. ...why were you that specific

'nancy' is a fucking wife and mother and i hate this. seriously i hate this. and as if fucking 'marrying' me to a guy wasn't bad enough, yeah, its WASHINGTON. UGH

[bothbarrels]

My 'wife' is Wrath, who's not really 20, but she's supposed to be 20. And this guy's daughter is 16. Can you imagine the kind of mental gymnastics that would make that somehow okay?

[ownperson]

[ Fuck. Wrath. ]

oh fucking christ what the fuck. that's messed up

what is this place just a fresh new way to fucking fuck with our heads?

[bothbarrels]

I think so. It seems really specific.

[ownperson]

no kidding. fucking putting me with the guy who literally threatened to kill me

not having weapons on us sucks except for that, least he can't pull a gun on me or something

but he's better at fighting than me now. fuck

[bothbarrels]

It wouldn't come down to that, I don't think.

Well, maybe fighting. But not shooting.

[ownperson]

you sure about that? wouldn't have thought he'd do it before, but apparently, he already did, so i never know what to expect off him anymore

and now i'm stuck in a fucking house with him

[bothbarrels]

You need me to be there?

[ownperson]

think we're heading out to scout shit, or... something, i don't know, but

later, yeah. if this place'll even let you. wants us to play roles and you're not my brother here, don't know what it'd make of you coming over

but i don't fucking trust him, drew. not a bit

i know you still talk to him but he's not the rookie kid anymore he said he shot me in the fucking face

[bothbarrels]

We'll have to try it, then. Just let me know when and where.

[ownperson]

maybe it'll let us if we fuckin' frame it in their terms. invite you over for a fuckin barbecue or smth. washington woke up grilling, so

idk, i just wanna see you and also not fear for my fuckin life

and y'know. not be here. this is so uncomfortable. i'm not this person. you're closer to a housewife than me

[bothbarrels]

It's incredibly uncomfortable, you're right. I'm not even old enough to have a sixteen-year-old.

[ownperson]

yeah, no kidding, pretty sure the kid i'm lumped with is around that age too

and i've never so much as looked at a guy and now i'm fake married to one this just sucks

even if it wasn't him this would suck

and i'm in a dress! i don't think even you could remember a time i wore a dress! if i ever did we were like, toddlers, probably!

and that's not even getting into your weird set up

or us not being twins. that just. feels wrong

[bothbarrels]

Do you feel like this is all some kind of copy/paste incident, or these roles were chosen for us?

[ownperson]

no fucking idea, tho you were right, this shit is really specific

washington thinks it's either a Stuff storm we got hit by on the rig or some bullshit that hit us in the field

Stuff responds to human thought blah blah blah

so idk maybe the Stuff latched onto shit about us and flipped it so we're all uncomfortable

[ There's a pause in the texts, then: ]

there was a time i thought i didn't wanna be a twin at all, until... y'know. maybe the fact we talked about that recently means something on that front, idk

[bothbarrels]

If it's the Stuff responding to our thoughts it sure is sadistic. That almost makes it sound like it has a mind of its own.

[ownperson]

idk, might be more the kind of sadism that comes with not having a mind of its own

give something a bunch of thoughts to work from with no way to know what the fuck's good or bad and maybe this is what you get

talking out my ass. i'm not a thinker, that was always someone else's job. wish this was a problem i could just punch

can't even punch wash because he'd have me on my ass. the fuck am i ever gonna fight in heels

[ That may be a bad attempt at humour. Even she's not actually sure. ]
