[ the feed comes on to show a boy with very tall hair and a much shorter girl with scratches on her face over her eye, one looking rather cheerful and the other less so. ]

Hi hi hi everyone, I have an important question. [ he holds up a finger, tilts his head as if a thought had just occurred to him. he's so preoccupied he was going to launch himself into his spiel without even introducing himself. ] I'm being rude. I am Henry Cheng, and we were wondering —

[ the not so tall and in fact very short girl interrupts. ] We're looking for someone we know! [ she pulls a little face, looking over at Mr. Henry Cheng. ] A few people, actually. [ okay, maybe that was a little rude. she murmurs something unintelligible and takes a step back. please, proceed. ]

And that was my lovely friend Blue. [ he gestures with a flourish toward her, shoots her a wink, absolutely unbothered by the interruption or her outburst. ] As she said, we are looking for someone. Multiple someones. I'm sure this place has a list of sorts, yes? A quick way to CTRL-F a friend's name and find out their status?

[ he looks a bit more serious, then, like underneath the cheerfulness he's exhausted. his next words are very earnest. ]

We would appreciate any info. Thank you.

[ in the background, Blue begins tromping away, shedding dead leaves for some reason, and can be vaguely heard to say 'maybe we should've mentioned Gansey by name' before the video ends. ]

[ cool. cool cool cool. that doesn't make much sense at all, which, at this point, should not be this surprising. ]

So the usual. Nothing out of the ordinary.

If you're hanging out with the maggot and she's not decking you for your haircut, suffice to say that you're from after I am. Timewise.

[ points a finger at the screen like yep, you got it. ] Always knew you had a good head on your shoulders.

[unguibusetrostro]

[He's planning on dumping you in a trashcan.]

Whatever.

You want to fuck with the maggot, it's your funeral.

[aglonby]

[ he will hide trashcans from ronan forever. ]

You say this like I don't know this about her! And, frankly, I do not make a habit of fucking with anyone. So much effort... and for what?

[unguibusetrostro]

Cheng.

How would I know how well you know her?

[aglonby]

[ LOOK, RONAN. he could actually point out that she's clearly not trying to get rid of him or anything like that which is a big enough sign, but also he doesn't feel like explaining or defending himself when he's still trying to wrap his mind around everything happening. ]

My bad, my bad. We are a little rattled, you see.

[unguibusetrostro]

Gansey's going to pick you up.

Don't break shit.

[Seriously.]
