✤ nine; (did they teach you to run?)

[windmill]

[so, remember when Belgium tried to drunk-dial her brother, but accidentally hit up the whole town? it seems to run in the family, because he's trying to get through to Norway, but is a little bit too stoned to manage it properly. so have a cheerful, if tired-sounding Netherlands, apparently calling you.]

...So I think I just got this... insight

Hey! Hey!

[The Captain was sounding desperate as he answered the call.]

Someone's got to know where I can find those ☠☠☠☠ aliens. Or Beyond, do you know where I can find Beyond? Or Nextwave?

Or maybe a ☠☠☠☠ bottle of rum?

[windmill]

[holy shit, he's really stoned right now, isn't he? he rolls onto his back on the floor with the phone in his hand and stares at the ceiling as he contemplates his reply to this phone call which can only exist in his head]

Okay, let's start with aliens. That's kinda... aah... weird. Alright, I'll listen.

[heartstar_blues]

No, don't listen! ☠☠☠☠, you need to tell me where they are.

I am Captain ☠☠☠☠. I am lost and I can't fly right now and I don't know why my arm is broken....

[windmill]

[laughing a little and counting ceiling tiles] What broke it? The rats or the aliens?

[bbsatbyrobots]

H-high? [Hold on, trying to make sense of this.] Are you...on the roof, then? But then...how could the walls be breathing? W-well, I didn't even know walls could breathe, so...

[windmill]

[...Flora, so innocent. he's a little confused, wondering why he's talking to you and not Norway]

No, I'm in the living room. And they're kind of just flowing in and out like wind's blowing on them. [staring at said walls as he speaks]

[bbsatbyrobots]

...D-did someone break them? Because...I don't think walls should be doing that...

[windmill]

No, they're pretty calm.

They're just breathing. It's kind of nice. I'm going to let 'em breathe.

[bornwithskison]

...You're higher than a kite, aren't you.

[windmill]

Norge? I keep on getting all these weird phone calls. [pulls the phone away and stares at it]

[bornwithskison]

Like what?

[windmill]

I mean, I called you. Or I'm calling you. [pause] This is you, right? Because you were talking about aliens before and I know I'm, uh, pretty high right now, but I don't think I made that up.

[handsoffmychips]

Walls don't move.

[windmill]

[oh hey you sound like a girl] Well, yeah. I agree. Normally, they don't.

But they are right now.

[handsoffmychips]

Idiot should stop taking weird stuff.

[windmill]

What are you talking about?

[lights up again]

[vaimoksein]

[Oh God, seriously?]

Again?

[windmill]

Yeah, again. They do that. If I touch them, I can't feel 'em breathing, but I know they are.

I can see it. They are.

[vaimoksein]

No, um, I mean....

[windmill]

[a muffled bunch of words as he puts the phone aside and turns over against the carpet]
