O3 👶 VIDEO (road not taken)
[the teenager in the video is wearing a green beanie. it must be new because there's still a price tag poking out behind his left ear. he beams at the camera with the slightly choreographed but earnest good nature of a closet introvert on his first day of school.
his eyes are slightly small, a telltale sign for those who fraternitize with potheads.]
Hi! I'm Joe. I guess I must have like, retrograde amnesia or something because I found this folder of brochures and stuff about a Porter and superheroes and nanomachines and whatever but I don't remember any of it from before? Anyway I just have a couple questions.
Number one. My neighbor is eleven and he told me their classroom pet just died, and I told the school I'm going to get them new ones. Then I started to think about, you know, the ethics of making animals that don't need to eat or poo. I mean, I'm not super religious, Darwinism seems kinda accurate, and even though I'm a vegan but I get that cows were just way too small for the industry before we had breeds. Mankind has been messing around with genetics for a long time. But it seems like a slippery slope, right? When does messing with life itself turn into like-- the crippling hubris that comes with the presumption of human convenience? Will Mother Nature fight back? Does the balance correct itself? You know? And is it important for eleven-year-olds to learn about cleaning poop? And if someone like, hypothetically... [he pauses with the subtlety of a bsod.] got a bird that doesn't eat or poopoo, and they decided it was unethical to give it to fifth graders, what should he do with it? And before anyone asks, it has a butthole and a mouth hole.
Okay. [he sucks in air as if he'd started to run out partway through that ramble (probably).] Okay. My other question is, does anyone else want to do a juice cleanse? Because I guess I was doing some kind of messed up diet. I lost twenty pounds and had like three hundred pills in my cabinet, but I feel super bloated and gross. Right now, I'm seriously even willing to consider wheatgrass or cod oil even though I usually can't stand the taste of fishy burps. And, you know, vegan. I could use a diet buddy. Or a group. I'm into groups. But not yoga or weights or meditation.
Hiking, I love hiking. And four-wheeling. If anyone sees an olive colored ATV with a 1984 sticker around, that's mine.
Okay get back to me. Later! [he waves enthusiastically at the camera, then hangs up.]

Jesus. ]
The...other version of you isn't precisely a friend of ours.
[ That's about as politely as he can put it. ]
Listen, don't take it to heart. I'm sure this is all very strange to you. Tell me something: do you know of magic because of Blue, exclusively, or are we also talking about yours?
no subject
It is very strange, [he agrees.] And I wanna know more. I mean I know a lot of people disagree about my stance on the legalization of marijuana, but like... I try not to be a dick about it and--
[he rubs his face, obviously trying not to make a big deal out of it because boys don't do that. and then clears his throat.] --Um. I have. Powers. I mean, [a little shiftily.] Everyone here does, right?
Blue and me worked together. Back in Henrietta. When she didn't hate me.
[grammar is still hard out here for a kid.]
no subject
[ Not precisely for Kavinsky's sake, but because they're the same as Ronan's powers, and that's a secret Gansey guards carefully. ]
A lot of things were different at home, but that wasn't.
I'm trying to fix all of this. Hopefully everything will make sense again soon.
[ He'll try to convince himself that's not a bad thing in Kavinsky's case. ]
no subject
Hey. Let me know if you need help. I mean I know that's weird. Just.
[just.]
no subject
Thank you, Joe. I'll remember that.
[ Christ, does he really have to change this for everyone? This doesn't feel like saving Kavinsky at all. ]
