[theres a knock at the door, and niki cautiously pokes her head into the room. she sees wilburs awake and enters the room, box in her hand.]

wilbur?

are you awake? i have something for you i think you need to see.

i can come back later if you’re not ready or awake enough.

(@ask-niki)

niki?

[he instinctively tries to sit up, wincing and falling back. might have to wait a bit longer on that one, buddy.]

yeah, i'm awake. i talked with tommy a bit earlier and then got more sleep, so i'm feeling fine.

[he smiles, doing his best to project a reassuring manner.]

what's going on?

[askpresidentsoot]

wil?

are you here?

my chat asked me to talk to you about something, its really not that big of a deal if you’re busy.

wilb-

oh! are you alright, wil?

(@ask-niki)

...? oh! niki! i’m fine, i just- fell asleep here. for a few hours. after maybe collapsing for a second. it’s fine! i’m fine.

i’m glad you’re safe! what’s wrong, what do you want to talk about?

[askpresidentsoot]

Wilbur, knock knock

I've come for a visit. And also to deliver a gift

@ask-lmaninnit

.....

-hm? oh, hey tommy. i'm a bit busy right now, what's up? did you need something?

[askpresidentsoot]

mr soot, what’s going on? who are the deal-makers chat keeps telling me about? how did you learn about this? are we going to be okay?

-luca

( @lcitizen )

luca? you're safe, good. i- i know that was probably scary, and i'm sorry. everything is fine now, okay? i dealt with it, they're gone. everything is okay.

[askpresidentsoot]

hello wil!

i just wanted to stop by the office and check in!

i brought some food by, a loaf of bread from this morning and a batch of cookies for you and fundy each, a little repaying of all the work you two are doing for our country.

how are you today?

(@askniki)

oh! hello, niki.

these look wonderful, thank you. i'll be sure to share with fundy when he drops off the budget report later.

i'm fine, of course. just- doing some work, getting some letters drafted, all that. how have you been? no problems settling in, i hope?

[askpresidentsoot]

hello this is extremely important, what is your opinion on this bird

12/10. fluffy. i want to hold him in my hands and give him the world.

[askpresidentsoot]

WILBUR TOMMY AND I WERE WONDERING IF WE CAN GET AN EXORSIST FOR THESE CHATS BECAUSE WE THINK THEYRE DREAMONS

(@tubbopond)

i- okay?? just don’t break anything or get hurt.

[askpresidentsoot]

Wilbur? I'm back!

@ask-lmaninnit

[he’s sitting very still, barely breathing and hands white-knuckling whatever happens to be in their grip. at the sound of the door opening his eyes flick over, and he makes a poor attempt to hide his relief at the sight of tommy there, unharmed.]

..tommy. you’re okay?
