[1/5] Hi Mr. Ramsey Idk if you remember me, I'm Jessie Drake. I was the person texting Arthur Centino's phone and getting Hope (not the ghost one), and you texted me after to let me know things are chill, and I was just wondering if Arthur and Hope are okay?
[2/5] And Terry? And Sooraya?
[3/5] Also are they all just like, living in a house raising Hope together?
[4/5] Because that's what I've been imagining since Terry mentioned a mansion and now I can't get the idea out of my head because Arthur doesn't really seem like Sooraya's type.
[5/5] Or maybe it's a platonic thing, I don't judge.

(1) Hi! I do remember giving my number to you, yeah.
(2) Everyone's doing okay. Arthur's still recovering a bit (he got a concussion), but everyone else is fine.
(3) Oh wow. There is no way to TLDR. This is going to be a lot.
(4) So yes, there is a mansion. Terry's not with Arthur (neither is Sooraya). Very platonic all around.
(5) We all kind of are attempting to raise Hope. Something something it takes a village/mansion.
(6) Which is to say that I live at the mansion too.

[1/8] Aw, community living! That sounds awesome
[2/8] I'm glad Hope has people, she seemed pretty Not Okay after everything happened
[3/8] I also wasn't okay though, that was SO MUCH. And apparently a satellite fell out of orbit?
[4/8] The news said that so casually and I'm over here like "IS THAT A NORMAL OCCURRENCE????"
[5/8] "SHOULD WE BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THINGS FALLING OUT OF SPACE???????"
[6/8] Great to hear everyone's doing okay, and I hope Arthur's recovery is going well. Kind of quiet without him
[7/8] As quiet as the community center ever is at least
[8/8] And thanks for responding, I know sometimes randos just text the wrong number and it's like new phone who dis?

(1) Yeah, it's got its pros and cons, but it's overall nice.
(2) Arthur helped protect her, and she was pretty worried for him.
(3) I'm honestly more likely to 'new phone who dis' one of my friends just to mess with them.
(4) Like Terry's actual boything, whose name is Kyle.
(5) The satellite was...definitely a thing that happened.
(6) It probably says something about my life that it's not my weirdest experience ever.

[1/2] That's reassuring? I think?
[2/2] It's gotta be better than my living situation lol

[xp_cypher]

(1) I can never tell anymore, I work with a bunch of weirdness magnets, so yeah.
(2) Not like I'm not a weirdness magnet as well, mind you.
(3) ...how much better? What's your living situation like?
(4) (I mean, let me know if I'm prying, but I know folks who might be able to help)

[1] I mean, it's kind of nothing? The RA said I'm being oversensitive
[2] Which I do NOT think is true, but sometimes you just get used to people being shitty and then people get EXTRA shitty and you're like 'wow that is shittier than usual and I'm offended.'
[3] And the people at Resident Services are helping me out
[4] And I GET IT. I mean I don't, but I know people are shitty about trans people being in gender-specific places, I dealt with that in high school too
[5] But man, NYU should really look at its whole 'we're a diverse and accepting community' thing because it TOTALLY ISN'T

[xp_cypher]

(1) You know that "want me to kill them?" gif from The Waterboy?
(2) Just sayin.
(3) I feel comfortable saying, even without knowing the particulars, that you are not being oversensitive.
(4) That's the kind of shit people pull to minimize your feelings.
(5) People being shitty is a reality, but that doesn't give others an excuse to tell you how to feel about it.

[1] That is the exact GIF another friend sent me when I was telling them the situation lol
[2] It's like yeah I'm used to this, but man it would be nice not to deal with in the place I *live*
[3] Especially when I'm paying so much money to be here???? I paid the exact same as the rest of them for a room
[4] Wow you're a total stranger and I just told you all that lmao
[5] I need to get offline more clearly

[xp_cypher]

(1) lmao I bet I beat you for 'terminally online'.
(2) Do not cite the deep magic to me, I was there when it was written. ;-)
(3) If you need a better place to live, I'm just sayin this place is a legit no kidding mansion.
(4) You'd be living with like 40 or so other weird-ish folks, but I guarantee you nobody would be shitty about gender shit.
(5) I know a licensed assassin.
(6) Your friend is clearly smart and has good taste.
(7) I mean, idk if I'm a total stranger - you already know three other people who live the same place I do.

[xp_chameleon]

[1] Yes oh Internet God. I would never question you
[2] Everyone keeps saying mansion but like... what is it really? A six-bedroom house or something?
[3] I can't say I'd never usually share things like that anyway, but.... terminally online lol

[xp_cypher]

(1) Look, you're in college, right? I'm pretty sure I was on the internet before you were born.
(2) and now I need to 'diminish and go into the west' or something for how old that makes me feel
(3) no, it's a legit mansion
