JONAS WARD

TEXT. AUDIO. VIDEO. ACTION.

Comments

[blyat]

[He's still thinking about the first thing Jonas says, inciting a new fear of what could be in the water — when that other comment is tacked on to the end. Drowning for eternity? What?

... He's too rattled to come up with much of an engaging response, but that's the good thing about three people; surely they'll pick up the slack.]

pretty much.
there are weapon upgrades, so that's what i was thinking.
or something for the tech.

[fessus]

[ The blunt wording makes him wince not because he thinks it's a joke too far or Jonas shouldn't be able to speak about it however he wants, but because it's hard still for even him to imagine his friend going through. But he takes it, he owns it, and he passes on the information to Cain with a bravery he still finds impressive, and his shoulders relax a little. ]

✌️🫡

You're missing a big part

Ship to ship comms so you can check in with the navigator right? Or at least some scanning stuff. Guess that falls under tech

Maybe we'll actually get a chance to fly off planet soon

[coherer]

( He wonders if he should elaborate. Force them to discuss it further.

He doesn't, taking a deep breath before carrying on. )

GRE said there's a map add-on and stuff, so maybe I'll get that
I wonder if there are ways to hook up ships too like while we're flying
To make a MEGA SHIP

Let's not fly too far away from the Theorem though unless we're sure where we're going
Space is big

[blyat]

[The topic moves naturally away, though Cain's mind has stuck somewhere behind it. At least talking about ships is distracting.]

i'm not hooking angelika up to anything

promise me you guys won't do anything crazy or stupid in yours without running it by me first, okay? at least in the beginning while you're just getting the hang of shit

[fessus]

Guess it's our megaship then

Jonas you're in charge of the names. Cain wants an update on them pretty bad. The fusion one better be cool

[ ....... actually ]

What ISN'T crazy and stupid, it's faster than anything I've been in and can fly through the atmosphere

[coherer]

So possessive over Angelika omggggggggg
Do we need Russian names for our ships too though?
Or Insomnian??
Things in other languages are way cooler than things in English

What kind of vehicles does Eos have anyway?
You guys have smartphones but you don't want to leave your star or anything?
What kind of vehicles are on Mars???

2/2 i LIED

[coherer]

Sorry oops I promise mommmmmmmmm
Thanks☺️

[blyat]

sounds like nosha needs a GRE too

[He doesn't trust Noctis to drive... also just casually throws that name out there now.

And then stares too long at Jonas's cute second text. God, they're killing him.]

whatever language you want
that's what naming anything is supposed to be about. it's yours.

depends on the terrain where you are
normal roads, normal vehicles
mostly a lot of military trucks and tanks
motorsleds and bikes everywhere else

[fessus]

[ "Nosha", huh... he's suddenly glad this is over text and he can hide his reactions. ]

I don't need a weird robot driving for me thx, I'm way better than I was already

[ DOUBT ]

I've got a car back home, and we've got boats. Airships, tanks, bikes, that kind of stuff

I don't go around naming them all tho so I'm not an expert at this. What's so wrong with English? You could name it Jonas Jr or smth

[coherer]

( "Nosha." His eyebrow raises, and he has to put the transportation aside. )

Yeah sure Jonas Jr or Sr since it's bigger than me

What's nosha?
Is that like a nickname or something?

[blyat]

cmon you can be more creative than that

russian thing
we use nicknames instead of real names when we talk to people

[Specifically very close friends or relatives, but he's keeping that to himself...]

you want one too, j?

[fessus]

I thought J was the nickname

[ J... but in Russian. ]

Ours are usually just shorter versions. Like Noct for Noctis or Gladio for Gladiolus. A lot of guys in hs gave each other animal nicknames tho

What animals are you guys most like? [ That's right, do my work for me. ]

[coherer]

Jonas the II
Noctis is right though you've been calling me J so is that Russian
😮‍💨Seems lazy

I think I'd be like a rat or a shitty raccoon or smth

( we have come full circle with the raccoon gifs )

What do you think??
What was yours Noct?
Cain you're like a big angry dog

[blyat]

well if you don't want me to call you j anymore, i can stop

i like cats

[Yes, he is a big angry dog... that likes cats.]

[coherer]

Doooon't I like J😭

[fessus]

Lol wtf is a raccoon? And it's what animal you're like not which one you like

[ Though picturing Cain with a cat is... pretty sweet, isn't it? He seems rough and tumble, but cats can make a softie out of anyone. ]

Are you asking what my classmates called me? Pretty exciting stuff tbh. Your Highness, Noctis, Prince Noctis

Anyway

You're both like dogs to me 🐶 Just really different kinds

[blyat]

ok fine
j stays

[Like it was ever really at risk...]

don't avoid the question, what would you pick for yourself then

[fessus]

I'm not avoiding it was just multiple questions and my fingers got tired

[ ... ]

Smth that naps a lot bc then I could get more sleep

[coherer]

You think I like rats and raccoons?
They're literally pests on earth
Raccoons are little scumbags and rats are rats

( the earth archive gifts him this video which he sends to the others )

Noct I'd say you're like a sloth but you are legit just a cat in human form because you pretend you're cool but you're a loser
ig you and Cain can be cat buddies
How am I a dog???
What kind of dogs are we?

( follows up with a pic of a sloth )

[fessus]

No I think Cain likes cats bc he said it, keep up

[ Hold on, now he needs to watch this video. Or, at least, as much of it as he can get through before he is completely unable to resist replying. ]

Hahaha

Pest? If people don't guard their stuff that's on them, these things are pretty cool. And like a mix between a cat and dog so best of both. Really cute tbh

Forget the dog thing, you're this

[ as he casually saves the sloth pic ]

[blyat]

[... this is the best video he's ever seen. Way better than the shitty copies of vids he'd get secondhand from Earth. And the picture? :reee:]

holy shit
i didn't even know sloth was an animal

[AUGHHHHH THIS IS ALL SO CUTE he's barely keeping it together. Thank god this isn't in person.]

the racoon looks like it's wearing a mask
i like the little hands

[coherer]

See he's a little bandit, it's so accurate LMAO
They are pests though like they dig through the trash and get into the house and cause problems
But they rub their hands together and stuff like they're begging
ig it's cute haha

Sloths are legit like
They barely move at all apparently
They're so slow that moss and fungus and stuff can grow on them
So basically Noctis

Is this you Cain?

[fessus]

[ The animals are adorable. But Cain and Jonas? He suddenly thinks they might be giving them a run for their money, and that realization is normally more alarming than it is right now. Maybe it's because he remembers all too well how their last group chat went, and knowing they're all three here talking about nicknames and animals and whatever other stupid stuff comes to mind feels secure. Good. ]

Does that mean we have to hide our trash from you lol? I'd keep one as a pet and teach it to steal stuff from people I didn't like. Then I could give it scratches and stuff

Unlike the sloth which sounds like it'd give you a rash or smth

I will literally race you tomorrow just to prove you wrong btw. You and Cain, I'll take you both on

[blyat]

didn't you hear noctis
i'm not a cat, i'm a dog
loyal and strong and a protector

[and gay af...]

but yeah i could see you being a sneaky little bandit
going through our trash
rubbing your hands together to be cute

if we race i'm definitely winning

[coherer]

OK ok you're a dog
I mean I can't argue with it when you saved me from lizards but like
Look up "rottweiler" in the archives, that's you
Or "doberman"

You kids have fun racing each other bc I am OUT
There's no way I'm winning that
I'm not humble ik my strengths (few) and weaknesses (many)

Noctis is the cat then right?
That angry black one looks identical to him tbh
