-wise, I have been a complete failure this month and have barely any activity, but things can still be done.

And I'm sending Near into the superhero Jaunt, definitely Infiltrating because I haven't done that since the walkabout in Dolorosa.

-wise, Near is settling in fairly well. I just need to make sure he leaves the house more. Which is easier now that Mello is on the lam.

I want to do things with Rage's trolling because that will be hilarious and instead of angry, Near will at most be very annoyed.

-wise, I have slacked tremendously and want to get back on the horse.

Clearly, their phones should fuck up during one of Mello's check-in calls.

Provided Mello is still on the run at that point, which he actually might not be.

Since that's a bit up in the air at the moment.

They're being all civil and then their phones start making them insult each other.

Mello starts getting pissed, Near just. Kind of sighs in irritation.

Figures out pretty quick that Rage is up to shit. But hey, ain't like being insulted by Mello is a new thing.

Can't be upset by it.

The annoyance is just for making the communication uclear.

*unclear

Also, of interest to Mello probably, since I finally decided whether to reply to the post.

Near had danced around that "you've never killed anyone" statement Mello made when they'd been arguing about the Sharon situation.

And now? Oops. Stupid Sorrow.

I'm cool with it. That's gotta be a huge wtf to Mello.

SURPRISE, MELLO!

Also, I'm trying to decide how much Near would have told Mello about Traveling during their first thread at the temple.

I think he would probably have at least gotten to the basic gist of getting dumped into other worlds periodically, and the concept of Infiltrating.
