part five

From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:27pm // So I heard this story once about a little mouse that couldn't fall asleep unless it said goodnight to everything around it. I guess now the story's got the mouse saying goodnight to iPads and shit but the thought still counts
.
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, [DRAFT] // Seriously? That's what you've got to say? It's been
// Pretending to be casual doesn't make it any better. You disappeared and
.
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:31pm // Are you the mouse now?
.
// Honestly it's been a hell of lot longer since I've talked to you than I would've liked but
.
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:35pm // It'd be weird to just send the mouse emoji right? 🐭 // Anyways you mentioned bedtime stories once so I figured I'd tell you one
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:37pm // No offense cap but you kinda suck at stories
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:38pm // I could tell stories that make your head spin
.
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, [DRAFT] // Do it
// What kind of stories?
.
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:40pm // Yeah right
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:41pm // That a challenge, Baker?
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:42pm // Isn't it always?
.
.
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, [DRAFT] // Unless you don't want to take it
// I've got like three chicken emojis so don't test me
// Okay so a story isn't happening or...?
.
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:47pm // You want a fairytale or what?
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:48pm // It took you five minutes to type that?
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:49pm // Answer the question
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:49pm // Fairytale // Complete with a princess who kicks the asses of everyone who tries to doubt her
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:51pm // So, you?
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:52pm // Glad to see you think I'm an ass kicker
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:53pm // Only cause I've got the bruises to prove it // So, a long time ago, there was this kingdom by the beach. Tons of people lived there and came from all over the world to see the knights that worked there. Let's call them the Fathers of the Kingdom
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:56pm // You paused there just so I'd say Padres didn't you?
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:56pm // Fathers*
// Now the Fathers had a lot of work to do to defend their kingdoms so that nobody took away their gold. And one knight was in charge of making sure that the whole knight team worked together
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 11:58pm // Was his name Mike?
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 11:59pm // You keep interrupting me
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:00am // You keep pausing
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:02am // Because I'm thinking // Great stories take time
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:03am // I'm gonna fall asleep waiting on this
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:05am // That's kind of the point of a bedtime story Baker. They put you to sleep
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:06am // Booo // Make it exciting
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:10am // So one day, the knight in charge of everything saw someone sneaking in to the kingdom and going right for the gold. The knight couldn't let that happen so in the knight dove to stop them. But the dive was risky and the knight fell so hard that the armor shattered around the floor // The whole kingdom seemed to shatter then // Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. And the only one still moving was that thief who'd gone for the gold // The thief got it but all anybody worried about was the knight // You see the knight wasn't just a super important part of the guard or the leader or anything. The knight was also the princess of the kingdom and the only one who could helm the land // And everyone got really sad without the knight around
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:20am // Then what?
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:20am // I thought you fell asleep
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:21am // Not yet // So what happened? In the kingdom with the knight?
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:24am // Rumor has it that the knight spent months rebuilding her armor. It took all the other knights to help her, and even still it needed a lot of time and a lot of work before she could protect anyone
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:25am // But you believe Aang could save the world
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:25am // Who's Aang?
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:26am // Sorry, bad joke // Continue
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:28am // Don't know who Aang is but the knight could do some pretty great things if she just gives the armor time to strengthen up again . Then she can kick all the asses and save all the kingdoms she wants
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:30am // Pretty decent story // I'd give it three stars
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:31am // Theee stars???
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:33am // Setting isn't really there. No dialogue. No pictures. What's a bedtime story without pictures?
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:34am // You want pictures? I can send you pictures
.
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, [DRAFT] // Of what?
// No thanks
// ????
.
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, [DRAFT] // zzzz
// So sleepy
.
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:45am // Okay, that was weird
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:46am // Sorry // Couldn't think of what to say to that // I can't draw for shit, Gin
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:47am // Gin
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:48am // too tired to type your whole name // I'll reestablish distance tomorrow
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:50am // it's nice // Gin // you can use it if you want // works for teammates too
From Mike Lawson to Ginny Baker, 12:52am // Night, Gin
From Ginny Baker to Mike Lawson, 12:53am // Night knight
