It's Tim. I guess I'm busy, so... Leave a message.

Amestris.

[Really? What was that nonsense? It didn't even look anything like the name of his home.]

And it's not illegal for me to drink, it's just not something I've ever done. I don't really think I should, either. I'm still not sure how eating and drinking is possible for me, and I don't want to find out if I can get drunk.

[That's the last thing he needs right now.]

But I'll keep you company while you drink it. Where are you?

[Maybe all of this was just a sneaky ploy to find Tim and force him not to be a loner.]

is this all just a sneaky ploy to find me and force me not to be a loner

[ TIMOTHY WRIGHT HOW COULD YOU THINK SUCH A THING ]

Even if it was, would that matter if you got the alcohol at the end of it?

[Does Tim really want to dance this dance? Hasn't he learned by now how persistent Al is when it comes to his friends?]

[maskintape]

you seem to be forgetting I'm more of a nicotine guy
never been big on alcohol
waking up not remembering the night before is p standard for me without any beer-based assistance

are you with anybody rn

[armoured]

No. I've been on my own for a while.

[Technically this is true. He's been on his own since the Joker escaped, then isolated since Ed died again. But it won't be true for long. He knows Steph is very close by and they will be together shortly.

But he's not actually lying. Strictly speaking.]

Please tell me where you are, or I'm just going to have to walk up and down the town until I find you.

I hear people need it to live? sounds fake to me but ok

[armoured]

I'm in the tunnels too, only just, so we should be able to find each other easily enough.

[No escape now.]

Why don't you head down towards the post office and --I can meet you there.

[Whoops, he nearly slipped up and said 'we' instead of 'I'. Thankfully he caught it in time, he doesn't want to spook Tim off.]

[maskintape]

[ Tim should be suspicious of that little hitch. But Tim is a giant loser who may just be going a little stir crazy. It goes unnoticed. ]

uh k
looking at the maps I guess the downtown food placeis closer than the school?? or it looks it
I've never been there so
idk
post office it is I guess

you wanna pick up my meds for me when you pass through the pharmacy?
if they're there anyway
they're the hip new thing to steal these days apparently

[ After all, it wouldn't do for Tim to get all maskificated in front of Al, goshAHAHAHAHAHA GUESS WHO'S SPENDING THE ENTIRE FUCKING DREAM EVENT AS MASKY

THANKS BRIAN ]

[armoured]

Definitely!

[He sounds way too happy about this.]

I'll see you at the post office as soon as you get here.

[And before Tim can argue or change his mind, Al hangs up quickly.]

[maskintape]

[ You know when you feel like you've just made a decision you're super going to regret

yeah

YEAH ]
