Erin's voice mail message is in a weary voice: "Erin Peters. If you called in the middle of the night and I didn't answer, I'm dying. If I pick up and someone on your end isn't dying, they will be shortly. Text otherwise."

[After this conversation and also this one she is going to get that text Crichton promised to send later the very same evening (before the chaos happens).]

It really was my Arthur you met. Small world. Good news, he's not stuck on using "it" anymore. Mystery solved.

Glorious. I need to drop by sometime. The ship is up to three nickels now. I just got a roommate and she is also blind so at some point we gotta make like a list of things people could do to help out and then it out in the wrong direction. You two keeping well?

You know, after the slaughter and everything.

Both of you blind in the same cabin? How's that working out? Should I come over and say hi to the newbie some time? Wish I could say I'm surprised that this place has so many of you and still hasn't gotten any reasonable accommodations in place. The least they could do is make the text to speech function work better.

[The ways in which he has heard Arthur's phone butcher things, let him name them for you.]

I already make it a habit to go to the food bar with Arthur so I can point him in the right direction on the buffet. I could do the same for you two. Other than that, you'll have to tell me.

[He almost wishes she hadn't asked about... the rest. They have been better.]

We are doing our best. What else can you do around here?

God do I hear you on the text to speech. It is not friendly to several people in my life and it is not my ally.

I do not know how Helena would take just dropping by but she is easy to spot. Very short dresses nearly glasses cane kind voice. She is a student of poetry. I suspect she is struggling with being here but given that she just moved in I do not want to be crass enough to press her on that.

You should hear what it does to emoji. Listen to this: 😎

Helena. I can always look for a way to introduce myself once she's more settled in. I can't blame her. Few of us are happy about being here. But, if she likes poetry, maybe she can join me and Arthur some time at the poetry club Nobunaga hosts. Maybe she could teach the rest of us how to not suck at it.

Wow that is a horrible thing to do to the shorthand of image writing.

If you do invite her there impress upon Nobunga to not just fucking touch her. It is unbelievably rude even to the sighted and if I find out he made her uncomfortable I will crush him in his armor like a can of fucking tomatoes and it will be very satisfying after he was rude enough to touch me without asking. That threat delivered it sounds like a wonderful idea.

You should hear what the eggplant sweat drops sounds like. Don't try that combo in public.

[Crichton is a menace to Arthur with his emoji.]

Sure, I'll try and hammer it home for Nobunaga. He's can be a bit much sometimes, but his heart is in the right place. Careful about making those threats to him in-person, he might enjoy that. I hear you, though. I promise to keep an eye on him. For some reason, he listens to me.

["For some reason" he says. It's be cause they are friends.]

Re: [Text]

[crushed_pearls]

He did seem less than impressed when I had to threaten him in person but since he has been inclined to leave me be I am returning the favor. All respect to Robert Frost but sometimes good fences do make good neighbors.

Looking forward to catching up with you and Arthur sometime. Until then.

Re: [Text]

[ss_buttcrack]

As long as you both can stay on your sides of the fence in peace, I'm happy.

We should try to get together for a karaoke night some time. He gave me Muppets music and I've been practicing. Don't be a stranger.
