What does the man on the moon do when his hair gets too long?

[Someone finally woke up and is just a bit disoriented.

. . .

But he's still in space, so hey, that confirms this is not a But It Was All Just a Dream scenario. Sigh. TIME TO TEXT THE BRO]

Hey Clay

You awake?

. . .

Am just now realizing it's difficult to tell when it's day or night. . .

[Okay so today he managed to lose his arm and eye to some strange fox girl, and got some magic powers in return. Its been a weird day, and Allen's not even sure how to explain it to Clay...even though he knows he probably should. Since you know, boyfriends tend to like to know when their SO is missing a limb and all that.

So when he contacts, it's through voice- because well, screw typing when you only have one hand. ]

Hey, can I come over? Today's been a day.

Hey.

Do you think New Years mean anything when you don't know what year it is?

[Allen hadn't told Clay he was going to get an aging upgrade. He had thought about telling him, but ultimately decided it would've come off too much like he was trying to get Clay's approval- and surprising is better.

So on their nightly calls, he turns on the video filter. The difference isn't too obviously, he only aged about a year physically. But there's slight differences, to both his voice and his appearance. ]

Hey Cowboy. You free?

Hey Clay, I have a question! I made a floor map of that downed ship from that singing planet. Would you like a copy?

[ The water planet was certainly different than any place they had gone before, and that included all of Allen's adventures. And while Allen was by no means afraid of water like several people in the fleet, being submerged in water all day long was still weird.

So when they reached the hotel room that is thankfully airlocked? He can't help but feel completely relieved, even as they step into the room, soaking wet. ]

Oh thank God, I think I feel air.

so i'm being forced to tell you that my birthday is in like a week

forced isn't the right word but i don't want to sleep on the metaphorical couch so here we are

you don't have to do anything though the deal was just that i had to tell you and now you know so bye

okay apologies in advance for this, but

how do you deal with the fact that you're essentially performing intergalactic porn when you have sex here

[About an hour or two after this message, when he's sure Clay's conversation with Eizen is finished, he'll send an explanation]

Okay, I'll try to summarise.

So that Seraphim, Eizen, is from a much earlier point of history in their world. And back in his time, there was people who called themselves Exorcists. But unlike how I get my power, they got theirs by enslaving Seraph. And they were led by a Shepherd. Which is very bad.

Also Sorey doesn't know about any of this, as far as I know. So...it's probably going to be messy for awhile.
