[occasionally yeah.]

Good. Just checking in. Guess you're situated too.
Got through yesterday, slept for a while. All in one piece here.

[dialetheism]

Smart. After a transition like that, it's a not a bad idea to do a role call.
Thankfully, my apartment here was still vacant despite how long it's been.
Though, now I have to replace everything that got thrown out in the meantime. Again.

[ It's more annoying then depressing at this point. ]

But, you too?
I didn't realize how exhausting all the surveillance was until being somewhere more familiar drained it out of me.
Though that answers what my next question would have been, I suppose.

[ "Slept for a while" implies he had somewhere to sleep. Though, he could've just passed out in a park somewhere....?? ]

[familyproblem]

[...he should have anticipated that this would graduate to being a Conversation, he's not sure why he didn't except that he did but shhh. Lion seems to default to longform.]

Next question? [actually he does not pick up the implication there.]

I'd been down in the caves so I think it was just physical exhaustion from the fog stuff. Had goblin powers for a while and I dropped right after they went away.

[that is not even remotely the extent of why he slept that hard for that long but it is way cooler-sounding than the truth.]

If you're at 38-8 and need another pair of hands to move any furniture in, you can shoot me a text.

[ Sorry, Gladion. The network has firmly been embedded in their head as "half phonecall, half letter" and as such they're all too prone to same kind of rambling small-talk as someone spotting a distant friend at a corner store when they have nothing better to do. ]

...That makes more sense, if you were down there for a while.
Such changes are exhausting even when *not* drawn out to an annoying extent.
Especially anything with magic of some kind, for some reason.

I suppose it's not that surprising, but yes, that's where I am. Apartment 101, on the bottom floor.

[ 101, coincidentally, happens to be the one with the front wall that looks like a whole ass person got slammed through it, though the damage has long since been plastered and painted over by expert hands.

But they don't mention that part. If they continue to ignore the now-fixed hole, then it never happened. ]

I haven't started replacing anything quite yet, but I wouldn't say no to the help once I have. Thank you.
But the same goes for you- if you need any help, I'm more then happy to do what I can.

And the question, for the record, would have been "did you find somewhere to stay". Which it seems you did.
Normally there's a few helpful types from a charity called the Lighthouse that try to point newcomers in the right direction for such things, but I don't think they had the chance in that awful place.

[isn't that the unit with the.....hm never mind.]

I'm living with two other people so I'm probably set. Actually, knowing them, they'd probably be happy to lend a hand if I'm not around either. We're in 203. Have you met Ingo or Emmet?

[not to sign them up for something against their will but they're just

they're them. both of them, in different ways.]

[dialetheism]

[ It Sure Is! ]

Still. You never know when an extra person might come in handy for something, so please don't mind asking.
I'd rather help then find out later, you know?
Those names aren't familiar to me, so I can't say if we've met in passing or not, but I'll keep an eye out for them in future.

[ I'm glad you three have each other is typed, stared at, and summarily executed without sending. Regardless of how kind the sentiment is meant to be, that's no excuse to make their envy into someone else's problem. ]

[familyproblem]

Heard loud and clear. Same to you.

They're twins so if you see one coming or going, you'll recognize the other. Both kind of eccentric but don't let it put you off.
