[3:00 P.M.] Riley

>

> Okay now I’m not going to die

>

> Thank youuu

>

> Now where was I...

[3:01 P.M.] Me

> Where would you be without me?

[3:02 P.M.] Riley

> Probably tweaking on the floor with a bunch of raw chicken breast slices on my face and covered in boiling water and grease

[3:02 P.M.] Me

> You’re cooking a whole chicken breast for LUNCH?

[3:05 P.M.] Riley

> It’s fine dining baby, and you don’t get any

[3:06 P.M.] Me

> Me and my airfryer are perfectly happy together, thank you very much

[3:08 P.M.] Riley

> Oh, nice. You make a lot of fries with it?

[3:08 P.M.] Me

> I am so so so grateful for my french fries

>

> I had two full bags of them yesterday and ate both of them

>

> And there was TWO MORE when I woke up this morning

[3:10 P.M.] Riley

> Awesome, so you’ll be leaving the game in 148 days with the diabetes/heart disease McCombo

[3:11 P.M.] Me

> the diabetes/heart disease McCombo.

>

> I fucking hate you

[3:12 P.M.] Riley

> 😁

[3:12 P.M.] Me

> That's the meanest thing anyone has ever said about my diet

[3:12 P.M.] Riley

> Well you won't know for sure until you get your memory back

[3:13 P.M.] Me

> I don't need to take this from you

>

> Don't count on me to remind you to take your prescriptions anymore

>

> I hope your chronic disease kills you now

[3:14 P.M.] Riley

> :(?

[3:14 P.M.] Me

> Aw okay nevermind I'm sorry

[3:16 P.M.] Riley

> :)!

>

> I loooove you Shaye

>

> Even though I’ve only known you for a day

[3:16 P.M.] Me

> Oo that rhymed

>

> You should write a poem about me

[3:17 P.M.] Riley

> Wow, that sounds like a... really bad idea

[3:17 P.M.] Me

> That’s how all great ideas start

[3:18 P.M.] Riley

> Not... really

>

> But I’ll do my best

>

> Hang on, I’m tapping into my inner Robert Frost

[3:21 P.M.] Me

> Warming up in the microwave

[3:23 P.M.] Riley

> Alright, listen to this:

>

> Oh Shaye, my Shaye—

>

> I've known you only a day—

>

> But I still wanna say—

>

> I loooooOOOOove yooou bAaae—

>

> Oh, Shaye Sullivan—

>

> You are more delicious than a mulligan—

>

> Like, a stew, that kind of mulligan—

>

> I don't know what else rhymes with Sullivan—

>

> My Shaye, oh Shaye, you are a sight to see—

>

> Without you I would be dead from my epilepsy—

>

> One day in the real world when you can see me—

>

> I will cook you a real dinner with some fine chianti.

>

> How's that?

>

> I said I was tapping my inner Robert Frost but wrote like Emily Dickinson instead for some reason

[3:26 P.M.] Me

> I'm speechless

>

> That's the worst poem anyone has ever written

>

> And it was just for me

[3:28 P.M.] Riley

> Really? I felt like I was kind of on fire at the end there

>

> I was spitting like a roast

[3:29 P.M.] Me

> I'll give you points for that last rhyme, yes

[3:30 P.M.] Riley

> Now if you'll excuse me, if I keep holding my phone while stirring noodles I'm going to drop it in boiling water

[3:30 P.M.] Me

> Hmph. Fine. You cook your delicious meals. I'll just be here. WAITING.

>

Me[133-341-1489], Tyrell[133-669-5857]

[4:39 P.M.] Tyrell

> Music is so frickin cool man

>

> I want to get a guitar or a keyboard or sum

[4:44 P.M.] Me

> Uh

>

> Did you only start listening to music yesterday

[4:45 P.M.] Tyrell

> The game started yesterday?

[4:47 P.M.] Me

> No it’s just saying you like music is the most obvious thing in the world

>

> It’s like saying “Oh you know what I’m really liking right now? Movies”

>

> Like no shit buddy

[4:48 P.M.] Tyrell

> Oh I get it, you were just being snarky

>

> Well maybe I just wasn’t a real music-head back in the real world

>

> But not like I’d know

>

> Because I don’t remember my life in the real world

>

> But I know right now

>

> That the stuff I’m hearing is really cool

[4:50 P.M.] Me

> Maybe you were in a band back in the real world

[4:50 P.M.] Tyrell

> Oh my god that would be sick if true

>

> If I had a band I would call it The Runk Pockers

[4:51 P.M.] Me

> I’m gonna level with you, that's an absolutely atrocious band name

[4:51 P.M.] Tyrell

> You get it? Because it’s like The Punk Rockers but the P and the R are switched?

[4:52 P.M.] Me

> That somehow makes it worse

[4:52 P.M.] Tyrell

> Well that’s your opinion

>

> I’ve gotta find other musicheads in this game so I can form that band

[4:53 P.M.] Me

> Trust me, you’ll have no problem looking for fans of music anywhere

>

> Have you been DMed by the music collector yet?

[4:54 P.M.] Tyrell

> The WHAT?

>

> Is that some eldritch creature? Or creepypasta?

[4:54 P.M.] Me

> No it’s just some guy who calls himself the music collector that texted me to ask for every album I have

[4:55 P.M.] Tyrell

> Wait, like to send the albums TO him?

[4:55 P.M.] Me

> No I just told him the names of everything

[4:56 P.M.] Tyrell

> Oh

>

> I’m stupid

>

> Thought there was some thing about the game I missed

>

> In any case that seems like a guy I should be getting to know

>

> Maybe he’ll share his music collection with me

>

> Andmaybejoinmybandhehehehehe

[4:58 P.M.] Me

> Yeah, feel free to run “The Runk Pockers” past him

[4:59 P.M.] Tyrell

> I'll make it happen, you'll see

>

> The Runk Pockers will be the biggest stars this game sees

>

> Setting aside the technicalities of trying to record music via these phones

ALERT: A FEW SELECT PLAYERS OVERNIGHT RECEIVED CROSSWORD PUZZLES AS AN EXTRA ENTERTAINMENT OPTION. LAUNCHING TOMORROW, THERE WILL BE A DAILY SUBSCRIPTION TO RECEIVE MORE PUZZLES EVERY MORNING. TO SUBSCRIBE, WRITE YOUR INTENT TO DO SO ON A REQUEST NOTE.

[5:00 P.M.] Tyrell

> OH MY GOD THAT SCARED ME SO BAD

[5:00 P.M.] Me

> *Holy shit I can’t believe they just jumpscared us with a loud ass TV announcement two days in a row*

>

> I am so mad

[5:01 P.M.] Tyrell

> BUT WHOA

> I mean wow, I didn’t know we were getting THAT pampered

>

> A crossword subscription sounds so cool

[5:03 P.M.] Me

> Don’t talk to me I just spilled my glass of milk on my feet

[5:03 P.M.] Tyrell

> Oh no

>

> I’m not laughing I swear

[5:08 P.M.] Me

> Good because if you were laughing I would punch you

[5:09 P.M.] Tyrell

> This great folly of yours is absolutely no laughing matter

>

> Now you go wash your wet socks

[5:13 P.M.] Me

> You do NOT understand how much I hate walking barefoot

>

> Especially when I just spilt something on them and now my skin is drying up

>

> This is the worst feeling ever

[5:13 P.M.] Tyrell

> Dry feet? Honestly it’s better than wet feet if you ask me...

[5:15 P.M.] Me

> I didn’t

[5:18 P.M.] Tyrell

> Also wow I completely only thought the sticky note requests were only for food stuff

>

> Can we ask for other stuff on them too? Like a new TV or something?

[5:24 P.M.] Me

> Speaking of requests, did you remember to ask for the Buffalo Wild Wings ranch for your salad yesterday?

[5:24 P.M.] Tyrell

> Oh NO

>

> Ratdammit I flubbed it

>

> Just slap a kick me poster on my back and get it over with, I'm an idiot

[5:25 P.M.] Me

> You know what? I think you might be

[5:27 P.M.] Tyrell

> I don't want you to agree with me on that

>

> Mannnnn I want that ranch so bad

[5:30 P.M.] Me

> Why don't you write it down NOW?

[5:31 P.M.] Tyrell

> And then while I'm at it subscribe to the daily crosswords?

>

> Wait is that like a paid subscription

>

> I don't want to do it if I have to pay money

[5:33 P.M.] Me

> It didn't say anything about that in the message

[5:40 P.M.] Tyrell

> You're right it didn't...

>

> Maybe it IS free?

>

> There's free subscriptions out there, right?

[5:41 P.M.] Me

> Yeah, like newsletters

[5:41 P.M.] Tyrell

> LIKE NEWSLETTERS

>

> Well, I'll just shoot my shot and see what happens...

[5:42 P.M.] Me

> It's not like you aren't swimming in cash already, Mr. Runk Pocker

[5:42 P.M.] Tyrell

> You're so RIGHT

>

> I can afford whatever this game offers me, I'm SWIMMING in Runk Pockers money

[5:45 P.M.] Me

> I would genuinely be surprised if that were true

[5:49 P.M.] Tyrell

> "Thank you for your undying support, Shaye," I said sarcastically

[5:50 P.M.] Me

> 😁

[5:24 P.M.] Riley
