( An interesting development. )

[1] The tree has to go.
[2] Meet me in the park tonight after dusk.

[1] I'm dropping some things off at the church after work, do you want to join me?

[1] So I guess you're busy?
[2] Do you still want to do dinner?

[1] Where are you?

[x] Is this some kind of test?
[x] I don't understand the question.

[1] You should have just said if you were mad when we were talking before.
[2] It's not like I'd be upset that you are mad.
[3] It's not like I don't understand.

[x] But I gave you an opportunity then, so why not take it at the time?
[x] Why now? Did you finally think about it

[x] It's pretty rare to be ghosted when you're engaged, but I guess if it were ever to happen to anyone

[x] jaja

[x] This isn't

[1] So much for being a team.

[x] This is

[1] Okay.

[OOC: His phone is now off.]

are we still like using this filter? it's been quiet for a while...

so like i hate to alarm anyone but it's like friday the 13th, there's a huge tree??? that wasn't there before wednesday, and has anyone seen my brothers...?

because i have not since wednesday???

joaco kind of does whatever he wants but alejo doesn't so could anyone help me look for them?

[1] So there's a plant/tree/whatever situation.
[2] Probably we should tell people to stay away from the tree.
[3] Anyone who doesn't have a crystal or stone should stay away at least.
[4] We should also arrange for volunteers to observe the tree in shifts.
[5] With one of us

[x]
[1] So you held the stone, and it worked for you.
[2] But it didn't work for him...and he still has no memory of Elysium?
[3] But his plant may have [...] taken root in park and grown substantially.
[4] And it was also a tree that attacked him when Eli got his crystal...
[5] What the [...] heck is happening with my brother?

Today is my birthday. Perhaps this is a surprise. It would have been more fitting if it had been Earth Day, but then that would also be a spoiler.

There will be a family dinner at my house tonight, but besides that, I think I will go and see a movie. Even though there aren't any good ones about animals out right now.

I'm not sure what to see. Any suggestions?
