Twinkle
Hey...

Yeah.

Twinkle
Is the apartment sized squid outside keeping you up too?
5s
Ganzo
It's talking to me.
4s
Twinkle
What?
3s
Ganzo
It's saying...come into me and we will dwell in wonder and glory forever. Ow!
7s
Twinkle
Sorry. I thought you were...the Masefield.
5s
Ganzo
I'm joking. I don't hear much when I'm out of the water.
6s
Twinkle
I keep imagining those tentacles reaching up through the moonpool...

Ganzo
...through the doors and the bulkheads...
5s
Twinkle
...grabbing us and taking us...

Ganzo
...to dwell in wonder and glory...

Ganzo
Those things killed my wife once.
5s
Twinkle
It's okay. We're trauma bonding.
5s
Ganzo
Sometimes the call feels like this...this yearning to be close. I can see why the Jubilee think the planet wants to help us. It's strong.
8s
Twinkle
Look, as an astronomer, let me tell you that nothing good ever comes from attraction. It's unstable.
7s
Ganzo
What?
3s
Twinkle
If planets just went where they were attracted they'd fall into the sun. If stars went where they were pulled they'd fall into the black hole at the middle of the galaxy. It's the resistance that makes the universe work. The balance between being pulled and trying to get away. When something draws you in, you say: "no, wait. Not yet." Whatever Masefield is, it's not something you're just supposed to obey. Or everything in this ocean would just go and die. Like back in the hot cave.
8s
Ganzo
See, this is why you're not married.
5s
Broken PDA
[loud call]
