text; an important survey

[indispensable]

Type: Text
Sender ID: indispensable (Alhaitham)
To: Public. So, so public.
Subject: A Survey on Romantic Relationships
Warnings: Potential discussions about sex? I guess?? But mostly this is just Alhaitham being the most obliviously shameless man alive.

This is Alhaitham.

I have a survey that I would like people to fill. There are no restrictions or stipulations to the nature of the responder. The only request is for you to be honest when filling it up.

1) Are you currently in a romantic relationship or have been in one? (yes/no)
2) If yes, does your current or previous relationship involve sex? (yes/no)
3) List down 5 to 10 words that describe what your significant other (past or present) makes you feel.
4) What is your main priority when you are with your significant other (past or present)?
5) How do you measure or recognize your feelings as love? What separates them infatuation or sexual attraction? Describe in 100 words or less.

You are free to leave your answers in this post or direct them to my inbox. I will be following up on whatever answers I feel are necessary.

Thank you for your time.

I'm very curious as to why you're suddenly not free when you were ten minutes ago.

[indispensable]

I said I'd help, not that I was free.

[empyrean_mirror]

and now you are neither free nor helping.

[indispensable]

And you're clearly not busy enough if you can message me like this.

[empyrean_mirror]

I am messaging you to get you to turn off your earpieces and come outside.

[indispensable]

I'm busy.

[empyrean_mirror]

with WHAT

[indispensable]

Stuff.

[empyrean_mirror]

alhaitham if you don't put your shellphone down I swear to god I'm not to blame for what I do in retaliation

[indispensable]

And what, exactly, are you going to do?

[empyrean_mirror]

I'm still workshopping that

but we're having soup for dinner if you're not out here in ten minutes.

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham doesn't answer. If he doesn't acknowledge it then it won't happen!!

But also maybe he's getting very distracted with his survey whoops.]

[empyrean_mirror]

[Guess who's having cheesy soup for dinner tonight then!!!]

[indispensable]

[why would you even want cheese in your soup that's awful]

[empyrean_mirror]

[it's so you can dip bread in it you heathen!!!]

[indispensable]

[He is not the one who said the words 'cheesy soup' okay.]

voice; perhaps some time later

[empyrean_mirror]

Alhaitham.

[You hear that tone? Somebody's angy.]

Care to explain exactly what you think you're doing?

is it even voice when he hears Kaveh from the back door or something

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham does indeed hear that tone...

...and promptly ignores it.]

Waiting for you to finish so that we can have lunch.

[Also ignoring the fact that he ended up not helping Kaveh at all, like he said he would. If Kaveh steps into the living room he'll also see that Alhaitham's gaze is fully fixed on his shellphone right now.]

about that back door

[empyrean_mirror]

[Kaveh just slammed it open.]

PUT YOUR ARCHONSDAMNED PHONE DOWN.

the poor door

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham does, in fact, put the phone down, then looks up to Kaveh, blinking at him with a guileless expression.]

What's wrong?

[This man has no idea what is about to happen to him.]

[empyrean_mirror]

Do you recall you said you would help me get the butterflies in order?

[Deep breaths, Kaveh. Deep breaths. Do not just shriek and slap the phone out of his hands.]

Or did you forget that while engrossed in your research?

[indispensable]

I didn't forget.

[Just says this as if nothing is wrong at all. Because its not, at least in Alhaitham's eyes.]

I said I'd come when you needed help. And you're clearly managing everything well enough by yourself.

[empyrean_mirror]

That isn't how promises wor--that's not the point!

[Gesturing sharply at his phone.]

Why are you publicly researching this?!

[indispensable]

Did you not tell me multiple times to learn from a broader range of people?

[He's just following your advice, senior, don't put this on him.]

[empyrean_mirror]

A broader range of people who are now all going to assume this is also about me.

[BRUH AT LEAST POST ANONYMOUSLY????]
