Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the time spent in Yin's room, Alex would, on occasion, get a little bit bored. There was only so much reading and re-reading of text, only so much surfing the web, only so much breaking apart and putting back together of the bones in Alex's foot and leg (Though Yin could use more practice at that, since he still somehow managed to put the toes in the wrong places).

At some point during this downtime of 'what do we do now?' Alex came up with the bright idea of going through his phones contacts, texting other students on his friends list and seeing how they were coping after the very recent final trials.

When he got to Mitzi's name, he paused, actually having forgotten that he had the reaper ghouls number on his phone to begin with. Was he still angry with her? The idea seemed rather foolish now, given everything else that had happened. Having seen Yin get turned into a hunters weapon put things in much better perspective, and made him feel more then a little ashamed at his earlier attitude towards the purple haired ghoul.

and so, in a flurry of thumb and finger movements over the phone, Alex began a message, stared at it for a time, and then hit send.

Alex had waited for a time, but when he hadn't received a return text right away, he assumed Mitzi probably didn't want to talk to him and flipped the phone over on to the bed beside his, reaching up with a sigh and rubbing two hands over his face and then up and through his mass of white hair before locking his hands behind his head.

Yin had gone out to shower, or something..had he said he was going for a run? He really needed to stop spacing out all of the time. Anyways, Alex was alone, and bored, and needed something to do.

He finally gave in and began making his way towards where his own books were kept, deciding it really wouldn't be that bad to read Scary Potter one more time, when a sudden familiar buzzing and chiming of his phone caused him to stop, turn, and head back towards the bed.

Glancing down at the screen, he had to grimace. Really? She texted that way? With an inward sigh, he tapped out a reply, then waited patiently, knowing now that she wasn't ignoring him as he first thought she might.

Well, if he was going to spend the time waiting for Yin to return by texting, he might as well get comfortable. Alex flopped back down on the bed, scooting himself up so that the was leaning against the wall, legs sprawled. He wiggled his toes, which were not in the right order, but were at least close this time, and waited for the return text.

When he received it, he had to cringe again, because this time he had to actually slowly decipher some of the parts that he didn't understand. Tym? Was that supposed to be time? Seriously? And bz...busy? Wow, Mitzi. Just wow.

It was horrible, but it was like the more of the awful chatspeak he read, the easier it got to understand, so even though the current message he was staring at in disgust was somehow even worse then the one before, he had not nearly as much trouble making it out. He typed in another message, an idea suddenly occurring to him.



He wasn't sure why he thought this might be a good idea but..Yin had just been acting a bit off, since their own spar had occurred. Alex had won, but he felt like it had been undeserved, like Yin had let him win. And now...now Yin was just...and Alex, well. Alex was not himself, that was obvious.

Alex read the reply, somehow completely used to the atrocious chatspeak now. He tapped in a quick reply, just to tell her he'd give her a more concrete time later, and flipped the phone back beside him with a sigh. He glanced out the window, as Fei came jumping up on to the bed, purring and settling himself down on Alex's lap.

Yin had been gone a long time...wait, he was going for a jog, right? Not a shower. That explained why he wasn't back yet.

Alex thudded his head back against the wall, sighed, and closed his eyes, trying not to think about anything but how nice it would be when Yin came back again.
