GAME HOES
MissJester Beau :(
SleevesRBS yes jester
MissJester I have a strange question.
SleevesRBS you sure you want to as here or go dm
MissJester Noooo~ it’s nothing like that
MissJester I just am wondering about my channel, you know. People want me to have, like, a YouTube presence now and do videos there but idk
SleevesRBS what is the weird question about that
MissJester I mean, how far does please my fanbase go before it’s me getting, like, exploited. I mean, no I don’t think that like a YoutTube channel is anything bad. But, like, I keep giving in right?
SleevesRBS I think drawing a line at an Only Fans jus to please the fans is where the line goes
MissJester What’s wrong with getting one of those???
SleevesRBS nothing if you do it for you
HotNDangerous I was waiting to see where that was going before chiming in but yeah
SleevesRBS alright dick
HotNDangerous kisses, pookie. But for real there is a line
SleevesRBS fuck you but yeah jes what are they asking for
SleevesRBS like archiving or videos and extra shit
MissJester I don’t know? I mean, I have a Snap… and Insta… and Twitter… I guess I don’t know what there is to gain?
SoullessWonder Archiving, as Beau pointed out. I notice a lot of people use it for that or making their own personal highlight reels. Updates or announcements that can be shared easier than other platforms. And not everyone uses social media enough, but generally everyone watches YouTube.
MissJester Oh, I guess I forgot some people aren’t big on social.
HotNDangerous look at the big brain on caycay. Pretty sexy.
SoullessWonder Thank-you, I guess?
MissJester And that doesn’t mean I have to do anything else for the channel? That would be enough?
SoullessWonder I am no expert, but that is what I have seen.
SoullessWonder Besides, you seem the type too willful and strong to let anyone force you into doing something you do not wish to do.
MissJester That is so sweet. Thank you~! Do you think I can get some examples?
SoullessWonder Of course. I will send you links directly.
SleevesRBS still… not sure what was awkward about off of that but sure
MIssJester The drawing the line part? Because I am like, pretty bad at telling what is and is not too far. And I don’t know if things are a great idea or if I am being, like, stupid or something.
SleevesRBS well. If Molly would do it it’s a bad idea
DrunkChild OKAY REAL MATURE MOLLY
Caleb stared at his car with a frown deepening. He didn’t know what was wrong exactly, just that the light was on. Or three lights, to be exact. And it was making a noise that he had not noticed before. He was not sure what was wrong, as he was not the car person his father hoped for, but he was at least smart enough to know it was time to bring it in. He had driven the short distance to the nearest garage and waited, texting Astrid and Wulf, both of whom were sympathetic and offered to grab him on the way home if it was that bad. Both had lectures all day. It was not that bad for the moment. He had Cad and Veth both messaging him to keep him company. Still, he was not ready for the news that his car would be in the shop for at minimum a week. With school, work, and the weather turning, this was bad news. Luckily, it was not that expensive outside of man hours, but it was inconvenient. He off-handedly shot an annoyed messaged to Fjord simply stating, “Ugh fml” before looking at the paperwork in hand. His phone blinked with a new message. His eyes drifted down and he unlocked the screen.
DM: FjordTough and Widogast
FjordTough what’s up?
Widogast My car is in the shop for at least a week. Nothing too major, just inconvenient.
FjordTough oh shit. Do you have another car or anything? Someone who can lend you one?
Widogast Not exactly. I am sure when I don’t have a way around through friends, the public transport will be fine. College town, so Amherst is pretty decent with them.
FjordTough Amherst?
FjordTough you’re less than 2 hours away?
Widogast Ja, I believe so from what Nott told me when I first joined. Why?
FjordTough what are you doing right now?
Widogast Filling out paperwork and waiting for a ride or the bus to school.
Widogast I feel like now is the proper time to tell you to not do whatever it is you have half formed. I promise this is all quite fine. I work on campus. I do not live far from campus. And I can simply order in the week’s food if I need.
FjordTough yeah but I live on campus and Molly has a car
FjordTough Beau and Yasha live in a nearby dorm and they both have cars. Cad lives 10 mins away with a car. Molly’s parents live 15 mins away with a car we can borrow.
Widogast Fjord…
FjordTough it’s no big deal. I drive the truck to you and you drive me back later and use the truck until the car is fixed
Widogast Why though?
FjordTough it’s not that big of a deal. It’s easier for me to get around than it is you.
Widogast Are you already that set on it?
FjordTough I’m hovering over sending a message for Molly to annoy you into agreeing. I can be there in thirty.
FjordTough please let me do this?
Widogast … Fine. Thank-you, Fjord.
FjordTough Of course. Just look out for a silver truck pulling in with Cowboys plates
Widogast How have you survived so long in New England with those?
FjordTough ;)
And that was how Caleb found himself in the waiting room of the garage with his hands clamped between his knees and trepidation on his face. He was nervous and oddly bashful. A part of it was due to the fact that his internet friend was lending him a car to use because his was down. And a part of it was the fact that he was meeting Fjord for the first time. Someone Caleb had still not seen before, but he felt his heart race at the idea of their personal conversations. He had logged hours with the other man online with conversations alone. They messaged daily and it was impossible to imagine his life with out Fjord. But it was easier anonymously. The distance made it all easier and more comfortable. Something that meant they were on the same playing field. But in life, he was an athlete, a hero, a charming man who apparently had people fawning over him constantly. And Caleb was… well himself. And it was intimidating to know that someone who maybe even made Astrid and Eodwulf seem dull and ordinary was in his life willingly.
A rumble gave away the arrival of the truck and Caleb tried to swallow around the lump in his throat as he noticed someone step out. He stood slowly and headed to the door as they opened, and the man knew immediately this was Fjord. The man before him was tall, very tall, with broad shoulders but the way his jacket seemed looser at the waist meant his was trim. He had on a leather jacket with a sweatshirt underneath, thick jeans, and chunky boots. But it was the face that made Caleb confident this was his friend. It was soft but angular with almond shaped eyes of a honey color, a full mouth with the hint of an unsure smile tugging at the corners, and a rounder nose. His hair was well-kept in an undercut with the front looking a bit gray in the front. The more Caleb looked, the more he noticed small patches of lighter skin—the corner of his mouth and by his eyes mostly—that signified it was not age or stress that caused it. The German man felt panic bubble. He was not prepared for this, or how his expression lit up more upon seeing him.
“Hey, Cay Your chauffer has arrived,” he greeted in the same bright tone and soft accent. Caleb knew he was blushing now.
“Ja, hallo, uh,” he stuttered and walked forward, thankful that Fjord did not try to pull him into a hug. “Thank-you for getting me.”
“No problem,” Fjord held the door open for them both. “Just know this means you get to meet at least Yasha.”
"Sounds awful, I change my mind,” Caleb replied in an attempt at deadpan cool. He did not nail the delivery, but it was close enough to make Fjord chuckle. A warm sound that he was not sure how to handle it.
“Do you want to head back right now or hang out a bit,” Fjord asked as he turned on the truck.
It rumbled beneath him and Caleb thought hard. He looked to the phone in his hand and unlocked it to cancel the ride plans he had made with the other two, but he left out details. There was no need to worry them with that. And Wulf would only argue that it was a bad or stupid idea. With than, he put it in his kangaroo pocket and looked over at Fjord and the way the gray light of the winter sky failed to make him look muted. A realization struck him hard. He had a crush on Fjord. He had felt this swoop before with their conversations. How his soft, deep voice was like a warm blanket some days. But it was worse now that he saw he man who’s voice caused that prickle in his chest. Caleb grinned.
“Let us make a day of it. Why not?”
Fjord flashed him a wicked grin and Caleb gave up on pretending it was not too late for him.
