[Jonas is so funny. D is gone, but intermittently, portions of him become more opaque. It's weird hearing his laugh pretty clearly, but not seeing a whole lot of him.]
You can blame Rang for that. Though... I guess it isn't entirely his fault. There isn't a whole lot we can say right now, and I think most of it you all know.
I can blame Rang for a few things, including the fact I just paid a dollar to buy a shirt with my own face on it. Which, again, why? [ but he frowns. ] I got the impression though, yeah. We've been trying to be careful about the things we're saying over on this side, too.
...I did want to ask you a couple of things though. Especially now that things are changing again. If you can't answer that's also fine but figured it's worth a shot. Even if you can't, I'm just...glad to see you.
Rang can be blamed for a lot, yes. [This sounds VERY (fond) unfortunately. D loves garbage AND FOR WHAT.] He thought you could use the support. You've had a rough time.
[Jonas's t-shirt.......]
I'm surprised to hear someone glad to see me, especially someone as young as you considering. [His tone is amused, in a charmed way.] I'll try my best, but I can't make any promises.
It's been...a time, but manageable. [ not really, he's fragmenting in several places but he's not going to tell d that when it's all his own stuff. ] I don't know how being called "baby boy" is supportive but that's...fine.
[ he says, as if he didn't buy the last jonas shirt earlier today. ]
I don't know why you're surprised. When you were still here, you were one of the only people that was easy enough to figure out, even when you weren't. [ pragmatic and straightforward, he means. and he entertained jonas's debates of morality. ] The best is all we can do.
Rang was talking about the pigs on your side. Were they always there?
Jonas's explanation for liking him makes him laugh quietly. IT'S FUNNY. He has been here this whole time, and no one has ever told him anything remotely similar.]
You were a very curious young man. I worried often about how much you were probably still out there thinking...
[Hums.]
No, I don't believe so. Chicken pigs were in the pet store, but... the other pigs didn't show up until last week.
I mean before...everything, yeah, I guess curiosity was always something that got me in trouble eventually. Is it such a bad thing to think about things? [ yes. it is. it is when you're jonas and overthink things. ]
...I need you to back up and tell me what a chicken pig is, first of all. And then explain what happened last week, if you can.
No. It is a good idea to think about things often.
[Wish MORE humans THOUGHT a single thing!!!!!!]
A chicken pig! They are in the pet shop… They are exactly as you imagine.
[Chicken pigs!!!]
The pigs appeared around an office building. They run if you get close. There’s a vending machine nearby with spray bottles and treats for them. They were happy with the treats. I wouldn’t let Rang spray them… but I did accidentally spray him teasingly.
Then you should be happy to know I've been thinking about a lot of things very often. [ hah. he still looks a little baffled by the concept of chicken pigs...similar to turtleducks. ]
Can you actually take them out of the pet shop? We can't really with the animals here. [ he truly is visualizing these chicken pigs though help. ]
The only time they showed up was the week all of our memories were leaking everywhere...but there was that pig graffiti down in the subway? It got covered up last week, but that's when the pig Noise showed up where were staying Thursday night. [ squinting. ] You think something would've happened if you sprayed the pigs themselves?
Are they like...normal animals? Or like the Noise animals we see running around here? It's confusing because when we saw the pigs during the lockdown the one with us was fine. It kept wanting to steal our stuff, but otherwise it was very non-hostile. Like it was mad I picked it up but it hung out when I put it back down.
[ he just frowns though. ]
Did you, like...check what was in the spray bottle after Rang broke out into a rash? Sounds like something that wasn't supposed to be for humans. Or. Well. You know.
They're Noise, and a lot of them. These were also not aggressive which is why I felt a bit bad if Rang sprayed them.
[The bit of him which comes through is his laced hands in front of himself. The way he fades in and out in small portions, just the butterflies almost, make it seem like there are many of them fluttering about.]
We didn't, but I told him I thought we should and we shouldn't spray anyone else. He may have asked. They were in a machine by the treats, so... I'm not sure why they would be together if they weren't potentially related...? The building where they were all gathered... not a lot of shadows were there. It feels sort of... off.
I still don't even understand where Noise are coming from, even if I understand what they are. We've seen a lot more of them lately but it's still always Thursdays and Sundays.
Maybe it's like a whole Alice in Wonderland thing. One makes you bigger, and one makes you smaller. I dunno. It does seem weird to keep them together without being related. [ ... ] What do you mean by "off" though?
I can't say that's anything but ominous, D, but...it just means we'll keep a closer eye on anything suspicious that pops up on this side. It sort of feels strange around that dog statue, too. I don't think I've felt something like this before now.
I think we can both agree the ending to this may not be as easy as it seems at first. All I can do is wish you luck from this side as the edges break down between us.
I do worry a little about the edges breaking down because we don't know what's going to bleed from your side to ours and vice versa. Maybe that's a little paranoid but...I don't know.
[Jonas can't see much of him, but Jonas can hear him kind of snickering. Hehe.]
I apologize for not writing you more. As I said, I did not think anyone wanted to really speak to me. And we hadn't realized until very recently you could only respond to what was sent.
Well...now you know, D. I would've written back whatever garbage you would've sent me even if I wouldn't have known it was you at first. [ shrug! ] We could've had it all.
[He is pretending to sound offended. Also SHUT UP.]
There was not a lot we could say much less let you know we hadn't been wiped clean from the universe. You can blame Rang for all of that again. He encouraged us to act foolish in an attempt to follow orders. And you know how much he loves chaos.

[Hazy in body and thoughtful in mind.]
Ours appeared last week. As far as I know, those are the only piggies. The only ones I’ve seen at least. Maybe they would have attacked us…?
That was what I was worried about, but also that they might be harmed. So I wouldn’t let Rang try.
