[ Oh right, Steve always forgets that. The thought flicks across his mind that it could be one of the old killers... ]
Oh, I know. You flopped sides. It's so obvious too. Joey. He always told me he thought you were cute, and he's always been one of the cooler killers.
That sounds right up our alley, that's next on our list now. We just finished up this awesome documentary on the biggest serial killers in America. Gave us a laugh to be honest.

Shit. Do not tell him I told you that. That was Top Secret. Is it Ace? Legally you have to tell me if it was Ace.
Anyway, yeah Joey and I keep in touch! He's still up in Canada, teaching art classes last I heard. He really turned it around, but like I said, he always seemed like a good guy to me.
Yeah for sure, just make sure you don't wake your neighbors with giggles. It's called Paindemic: The Killings That Swept Across America.
Also no. I'll give you a clue because it's really fun to see you guess: He's a genius.
[ a pause. a smile. things like this? lovely to read. ]
Can't help it because I'm curious: Am I free to assume you're also in contact with the rest of them? I'd love to know how they're doing.
I've heard of that! A college of mine worked on part of the editing of that one, though I haven't caught up to it yet. I have a lot to catch up with from when we were away.
yeah im kind of sad i made it up now, cmon doc makers, make this happen!!!
Wow, I'm off my game today, and I didn't realize you were having so much fun with this... Alright he's a genius, and it's not Adam. That leaves....oh no...not the doc?
[ Who else could be a genius? Maybe Ghost Face? David? Can't be dwight... Maybe Yamaoka, or Caleb? Who knows... ]
I like to keep in touch with a few of them, Frank actually turned out to not be a complete asshat so that's nice. We actually get along now. I've always liked Susie too, Cheryl and her get along great. Julie ain't so bad either, she's still with Frank so that's nice.
Oh no way, that's crazy! Yeah, we're working our way through quite a backlog of shit as well. I have missed so much since the 80's.
[ Away. That's what he calls it too, like they were all sharing some timeshare on vacation, and not kidnapped by an interdimensional omnipotent being capable of creating realms from thin air. He was so lucky he was able to stay with Cher after they all escaped, he can't imagine life without her now that he's had a taste. ]
That's as gross as the thought of dating the Blight. Ugh. Should we stop here and continue guessing another time?
It's really nice to hear about this. The only ones I've heard of have been you guys, naturally — but the likes of them? Makes me wonder how they're doing in this day and age. If they've adapted well, or if they've grown old and happy. Can't help but be curious about it.
p.s. If you really want, I can send you a list of films I personally enjoyed. Entertainment, documentaries, biopics, you name it.
No way, I'm just getting started. Unless you just want to end the charade and tell me? Or I can keep making ridiculous guesses, like Caleb for example.
Yeah, I wonder the same things. Like I can't help but wonder about Ghost Face sometimes, if he's adjusted, or if that shit for brain is still just lurking somewhere, watching. Keeps me on my toes tbh.
[ there's a long, long pause at the thought of jed walking the streets alive and well. someone she doesn't want to deal with in her life ever again — a terrible human being. she already has a corner for him on her corkboard of work that she covers with a sheet of paper... no, she shouldn't lift it up and check. ]
Before we continue, I want to know what makes that ridiculous in the first place.
[ If she ever does lift it up, Steve would have her back.
Oh shit, is it Caleb? She dismissed his other answers so nonchalantly, but she's questioning this guess? Ok, maybe play this carefully, just in case. Steve is having a great time catching, no use in ruining a nice moment with an awkward insult to her potential significant other... Oh man... ]
Just I don't believe in covering up hair, you know? And he wears that cowbow hat.
[ Shit that was so dumb. Let's try sending another answer. ]
Not really that ridiculous though I guess, I just wouldn't see it coming if that were true...Is it true?
[ Don't inquire about why he wouldn't see it coming please. ]
[ Steve bends down to pick up his phone from where he dropped it. In utter shock. Husband? Shit, Steve. You nailed it this time. ]
Wow, congrats. [ It's really all he can muster out for a moment, as he collects his thoughts. ]
Well, he's a killer... and just so...I dunno, cheesy. I feel like he'd be on the old shows I used to watch on saturday mornings as a kid I guess.
[ Maybe an asshole-ish thing to say, but it is his immediate first thought, and he unfortunately sends that text before he realizes how rude that is. He sends a follow up momentarily.]
But I get it, killers can have redeeming qualities, like Joey, he wasn't always that bad. Just made some mistakes, and got played into the entity's hands. Speaking of, that's how I know Caleb's name, Joey told me, before we all left.
Edited (its not a tag from me if it doesn't come immediately edited ;) :'() 2020-12-12 02:47 (UTC)
Glad you understand. He's certainly made up for his actions for a while, really. I wouldn't have married him if he didn't — moreso be with him in the first place.
Can't believe you called him a saturday morning villain. Tsk tsk.
We'll I'm really happy for you, and I mean that. [ He is, after all, married to the former god of an ancient evil occult, and Cher is just absolutely pure and perfect. ]
I take it back, I swear! Wouldn't want to piss the guy off!
[ Totally unsure if she's joking, he thinks that text can at least be read either way if she's not. He'll actually have to meet them in person to determine if he's still a cartoon villain or not, but it's hard to picture him not being one. ]
Oh? I was thinking more of the entertainment kind. None of my films are in theaters, you would normally find them around different channels. The History channel, for example.
Hmm those all seem fun, knowing Cher though I'm pretty sure she'd like Beetlejuice best. Maybe we can keep this a surprise from her? She'll be so excited and happy.
[ Steve still lives for making Cheryl's day, everyday. And she loves goofy lighthearted stuff, a great distraction from the horrors of her past.]

Well, I should correct myself. When I said partner, I meant husband.
