$$$MEATSLACKS$$$, Fuck it let's do this

[karmacomecalling]

CAL HAVE YOU SEEN TESHIMA??!??!??

HE WON'T ANSWER HIS PHONE

[psychometries]

[ why are you making him text??? ]

I think he's gone, Yakko.

[karmacomecalling]

[he likes to overuse punctuation that's why]

What

[karmacomecalling]

are you sure?????

did you check under the bed??????

is one of his bikes missing?? maybe he went out for a ride and forgot his phone

[psychometries]

I even reached out to the Force, to see if I could find him.

I'm still checking around anyway, but...

He probably went home.

[karmacomecalling]

[There's a long pause before the reply comes.]

he couldn't even say goodbye?

[Maybe it happens as quick and unexpectedly as arriving here. No warning, no notice. The idea doesn't help much. What is he supposed to do with that? Just carry on like everything's normal?]

[psychometries]

[ Yakko :( ]

I'm sorry.

[ He knows that he should be happy for Teshima, that the Force took him where he needed to go, but... Cal still wishes he'd gotten a chance to say goodbye too. ]

[karmacomecalling]

[CAL ;A;]

hey it's not like you're the one who sent him

he was a great guy

i think he's the first human i ever had a real conversation with

he helped me fry those fish that were swimming in the streets that time...he smashed a bunch of eggs on himself once and then we had a water gun fight...i'm gonna miss him a lot

[psychometries]

Yeah, me too.

You know, we still have all those bikes stuck in our ceiling. The ones he [ ... ] took.

[ Is this really what they're reminiscing fondly about?? ]

You going to be okay?

[karmacomecalling]

Really? You can't use the force on them?

[oof. Okay, he'll be honest.]

I'll be fine.

I kinda feel like I've been buried under a hundred rocks. But only on the inside. Is that normal?

[psychometries]

They're glitched in there. I don't think there's anything that can get them out.

[ ... ]

Yeah, I think that's normal.

It's not easy letting people go.

[ He's a little un-Jedi-like in that regard. ]

[karmacomecalling]

What good are your phenomenal cosmic powers then??????????? Put some elbow grease into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ragging on him is easier than talking about anything, but they've had a fair few moments like this by now. Cal is a solid guy. He's lost one friend, but at least he still has some good ones left.]

no kidding.

hey, is there anyone you'd want me to talk to if you get sent home? or secret stuff you'd need me to stash? If you've got dirty secrets i'll never tell~

1/2

[psychometries]

I guess even phenomenal cosmic powers can't fix everything.

I even had BD-1 try to rewrite the code, but they just glitched back later. There's really nothing for it.

[ Look, he's had a month to get used to the bikes in his ceiling. He's just accepted it at this point. ]

[psychometries]

[ Please, Yakko, you know better than this. Cal is too much of a boy scout for dirty secrets. ]

What kind of dirty secrets do you think I have?

[karmacomecalling]

[It's clearly a deceptive ruse]

oh they're much too filthy to name

you should be ashamed of yourself

[psychometries]

Now I kind of want to know what my own dirty secrets are.

[karmacomecalling]

don't play coy!!!! Its all in your bad boy smirk

I bet you use Bing to search the internet too, you degenerate

1/2

[psychometries]

I do what?

[ Stop making references he doesn't understand!!! Well, whatever. ]

[psychometries]

There is one thing you can do for me, if I get sent home.

If BD-1 is still here, just make sure you look after him, okay? Don't leave him alone.

[ Now he's glad that this is text, because he doesn't have to say it aloud in front of Beedee. Cal doesn't think they'll get separated, since they arrived together, but he still doesn't want to worry his little buddy with even the possibility. ]

[karmacomecalling]

[He is literally incapable of stopping that, I'm very sorry. References forever. Vive la Referénce!!]

It'd be one cruel son of a gun that tried to split the two of you apart

but okay, you got a deal

anything i should know about taking care of him

does he need walkies

[psychometries]

No walkies.

Just see if you can give him an oil bath every once in a while. It helps keep his joints clean.

And he just likes it.

[karmacomecalling]

weird but you got it boss

still, i'll hunt down doubleneon and kick them in the kiester if they send one of you back without the other. You came in together, so you gotta stay together!

[psychometries]

[ It's like a relaxing bubble bath for droids and they love it. This is a Star Wars lore deep cut, please appreciate it. ]

I bet you could do it too.

I hope we stay together too, but just in case. He was by himself for a long time before I found him, so I just don't want that to happen again.

[karmacomecalling]

[The things i am learning about star wars for you]

He was??? what happened

[Did no one want to buy him from the Jawa store?]

[psychometries]

The Jedi that he worked with before, Master Cordova, had to leave him behind with important information.

Information that someone like me needed in order to save a lot of Force-sensitive children from the Empire.
