Summer's Voicemail.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Uh, yeah, this is Summer's voicemail. Who the hell calls people anymore? Just text me. But I guess if you insist on being weird and living in the dark ages, go ahead and leave me a message. And I'll text you back, like normal people do. Okay? Cool. I mean, the government is probably tapping all of our conversations anyway, but whatever."

*BEEEEEEEP*

Delivery

[sharp_man]

At some point during the day, a delivery is made to Summer's room.

Inside is a flower garden dessert.

The note reads: Thank you for being my assistant. I thought you might appreciate this.

[uncertain_dume]

It wasn't long after Kanan's wits returned to him that he was reaching for his phone and sending Summer a text.

From what I hear, I owe you one.

He could have texted with an 'I'm okay,' but he figured just the act of texting at all would probably get that across.

[sharp_man]

From here!

While I understand the temptation to ascribe it to me, I certainly did not order ten pounds of gelatin. I think perhaps you have the wrong person? Although if it is already paid for, I'm certain I can find a use for it.

[somethingwithturquoise]

[[and it went here!]]

[futurespacemom]

Hera had fretted over her gift for Summer, but she wanted it to be useful and appreciated, and even though it'd be obvious what galaxy it was from, hopefully there were enough of them here that it wouldn't be obvious it was her?

It was also probably worth a lot more than twenty local dollars, but Hera had gotten it in exchange for helping someone out, so it hadn't actually cost anything.

Being delivered to Summer's apartment while she was out (with very careful picking of the lock) was a holobook of a galactic encyclopedia, with all the information Summer might need to get started.

[thatwaslucky]

As soon as Rey got back to Fandom, Summer was getting video of Jello falling from the sky.

A gift from the island, apparently.

This was going to do terrible things to her hair.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And Summer watched that video with an expression that managed to be all equal parts fascination, glee, envy, and relief.

That would have done terrible things to her hair.

ofc the island rains jello AFTER I leave.

Pause.

wait, do you think it's raining jello BECAUSE i left??

Another pause.

OMG is the island CRYING JELLO because i'm GONE?????

She no longer cared if there was a perfectly reasonable (for Fandom, anyway) explanation for this. It was now headcanon, dammit.

[1000yearstoolate]

During the Halloween party, Seivarden sent Summer a text:

Should I blame you for these?

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was trying to keep her texting back to the island to a minimum, just to be on the safe side in case anyone got suspicious about her motivations, but she couldn't just ignore that one.

!!! If you don't have one i am going to be SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.


ALSO tell everyone I said happy halloween! It's Halloween out there, right? DID YOU DRESS UP? SEND ME PICTURES. LET ME LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

Hey, you were the one that texted Summer, who hadn't talked to anyone from Fandom in pretty much a month, what did you expect??

[1000yearstoolate]

Late at night, Summer got a text:

Never talk me into doing stupid things again.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Pffft," Summer snorted at her phone, when she woke up the next morning and saw the text.

yeah ok no problem

And that was, like, soooooo totally sincere.

Besides, technically, she could argue that she didn't talk Seivarden into doing shit, she barely even had to fight for it.

But if Seivarden had been sending her late-night texts on a Tuesday night, she had a feeling something had been going down and she did not want to poke that hornet's nest until she could soothe it with booze at the bar that night, probably.

And now to wade through the killion texts she'd also received mysteriously from Shunsui about an hour ago? Was he even alive during morning hours? WTF was this shit?

[1000yearstoolate]

Sometime during the afternoon Summer got a text:

No fighting, just a lot of positive thinking, so if you want to avoid that, don't come back yet. The pancake place might work for good thoughts though.

[somethingwithturquoise]

....positive thinking? Like, counter all the bad thoughts with happy thoughts or something?

[mother_forker]

Granted Summer was in a completely different dimension right now but this was an emergency situation.

"Summer! Buddy! Pal! Dressy Trashy and come down to Carrot bar. Carrot? Caritas! The one you work at! 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! I can't be the only young and hot one here!"

[badassprodigy]

It was a rather escstatic Barry who left a message for Summer.

"Summer! Look I know it's fucking Disneyland and shit but come by my room. I got something for you that you'll really want."

Lacking context, Summer might think that the "something" was not what he was really talking about.

[intraspective]

Iris had laughed upon hearing radio but... Summer was getting a text.

When? Where?

Well, why not?

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had to smirk a bit at the message.

lol idk wanna get drinks or something later? Or coffee? I've got to take my students to the space mall this morning but I'm free after that!!!

[1000yearstoolate]

Sometime during Monday evening, Summer got a text:

I tried coffee. It was terrible.

[somethingwithturquoise]

There was a long pause before Summer's response came through. Not necessarily because she was busy or anything like that, but just because she was kind of looking at that text a bit dubiously before she did.

have u srsly never had coffee before now? thats almost impressive. was it this weekend? if so u should probably try it again, kids are like physically designed to not like coffee i think???

assuming u were a kid anyway

She was STILL super mad about having missed everyone being little and shit this weekend. Wee tiny Seivarden? Little Annie? TINY BARRY??? Omg, she would die.

Phone Day!

[flourish_or_perish]

And you know, after Faye had replied to Seivarden's message, she reread it and had to add a second part:

you're allowed to visit her now, huh? Sexy space visits? imagine sexy music playing right now, because I am

Probably a good thing that that one wasn't actually gonna make it to Seivarden.

Re: Phone Day!

[somethingwithturquoise]

[[ and thar she blows ]]

Wacky Phone Day!

[thedadalorian]

That was definitely a message that Din had received there.

"Whoever this is, can you keep the explosions to just a minimum?"

Re: Wacky Phone Day!

[somethingwithturquoise]

[[ and boom goes the dynamite! ]]

Wacky Phone Day

[my_own_advocate]

[[ from here ]]

All right, one, I haven't hit on anyone on this island beyond the people I'm sleeping with in literally thousands of years, so I'm not entirely sure what HR complaint you're talking about.

Two, I'm not human, thank you, so I don't know why you're hollering at me about anthropocentrism. Perhaps YOU should check your privilege, going about assuming anyone with thumbs is human.

"I'm not even thinking about marriage. I'm twenty. What did you hear?"

PHONE DAY

[sith_happened]

I have no idea what the Dark Council would do with Jello and I have zero wish to know. Keep your strange, dark habits to yourself.

Re: PHONE DAY

Wacky phone day!

[designateddadfriend]

[from here!]

"Everything's a euphemism. Ev. Er. Y. Thing. But, I mean, considering it references 'blowing', I'm going to guess this isn't about sex toys, no."

Wacky Phones 2021

[gospel_of_oblivion]

Ugh, Five, why were you being weird?

"I do not care about you, or your siblings, enough to care about what you do in your free time," she snapped. "My interest in you is purely academic and professional, and if someone is saying otherwise, they are wrong."

This wasn't going to make the next class awkward or anything.

Re: Wacky Phones 2021

[somethingwithturquoise]

[[ and away it goes! ]]

Wacky Phone Day!

[imafuturist]

Heeeeey.

"Was this meant for Barry maybe? Because I haven't had an explosion in my workshop in at least a year now."

Wacky Phone/Texting Day

[1000yearstoolate]

And of course this message went here. Seivarden wasn't sure if this was meant for her, but if it was she was a bit hurt. She hadn't complained about Summer's jello shots for quite some time. But just to be clear:

What do you mean? I love Summer's jello shots!

[From here]

[1000yearstoolate]

Sometime in the evening Summer received a message:

Breq isn't replying to my messages.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Well, that certainly didn't help Summer's paranoia right now any, but at least something like that wasn't surprising.

And not for the reasons she might attempt to give Seivarden shit over, either.

Phones and outgoing, maybe even ingoing, messages are prbly screwing up. something is def happening rn.

She had no idea what, and that was driving her crazy, but she did know it was something

[1000yearstoolate]

After getting back to the apartment Seivarden sent Summer a message:

I'm back to my usual self again. Thanks for the clothes. Sorry about the broken cup, that was me, not Pancakes.

She sent it, then added:

Thank you.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was sort of side-eyeing the text a little, because it wasn't like Seivarden gave her much of a choice in the matter.

You're just lucky it wasn't one of my favorite cups.

There was a pause before she added:

And you're welcome. Glad your finally back, tho.

And wasn't THAT the truth!

[stykera]

A text, sent to several people, came through late Friday morning.

Going back to Moya.
I’ll try to come back. When things are better. When I’m better.

I’m sorry.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was already elbows-deep in dick-shaped jello by the time Stark's message hit her phone, and when she saw it, she was so, so, soooooo tempted to respond back with a sarcastic comment about chasing after him or commenting on how, wow, Stark, really, leaving because you need some space and time for yourself, what a clearly dick move, how could anyone do such a thing....

...but she didn't. She just sighed and cleaned off her hands and sent back instead:

good luck man. If you need anything, u know where to find me. Text me when u get back. ill buy u a drink.

[alwaysonguard]

"Hey Summer, it's Dwight. Just wanted to let you know I'm ok, but I'm heading off the island for a bit. Family emergency. Heading out this afternoon by portal to Cleveland." There was a pause for a moment before Dwight continued. "I... I just wanted to let you know. Don't think I will be too long...but not really sure. I'll miss the Wednesday night jello shots while I'm gone.... Anyway...I'll... I'll see you when I get back."

[somethingwithturquoise]

When Summer got Dwight's voicemail, she only had one thought, said outloud, albeit to no one except her cat:

"Cleveland? Ew."

But she did eventually text (yes, text, hi, she wasn't fifty, okay) back with just a short and sweet:

Hey, good luck, man! The shot'll be here when you need em! If u need anything let me know! 🍻🍻🍻
