[For once, Joseph seems a little pensive. Sitting backwards on a chair with his arms crossed, he starts off with the most lack-luster greeting he's done.]

Hey, guys…

When someone doesn't answer their messages, it means they're not here anymore, doesn't it?

[He doesn't wait long enough for there to be an answer, and winds up just sighing.]

David Alleyne's gone, I guess.

…Alright. This just means I need to ask around instead. I need someone I can go to if I have questions on technology stuff. I'm doing pretty good on most things, but I had David if I had anything that was really stumping me, and now I don't, so! Who wants to be the lucky person to help me?

I don't know. Possibly? Probably... I call him my friend, but... I don't know if he actually liked me too much. Maybe I was too annoying.

Maybe he enjoyed your company more than he let on. Some people are like that, anyway. Was it just the technology stuff he was helping you with?

[trickstar]

Mostly, but sometimes I'd call him just to talk. He didn't get out much, y'know?

[somethinghidden]

So he was mostly the loner type? Then it's good he has you to check in on him... and now, to let everyone know he's not available. Gone, rather. To me, it sounds like you were friends.

Alright- alright, quit saying things like that. What if he does come back and sees all this?

Is it really so embarrassing? [ Simon laughs, but then he also loses the game. ] Oh FUCK.

[trickstar]

Huh? ...

Oh, you lost, didn't you?

video;

[somethinghidden]

Yeah. [ He decides it's time to shut the damn thing off now. ] Yeah.

I guess I should get back to work. Good luck finding out more technology stuff. You should call me sometime and let me know what else you learn. I might be all right with texting, but I could still use some tips with these things myself.

Oh, yeah, alright. I'll try to remember!
