[He's judging. Judging so hard.]

I said not dying right now, mate. Take it in perspective. Easier to deal with that way, hmm?

As for the Matrix... I dunno about all that. Seems like it's something more than just that. No idea what, but definitely something more.

[majorlazer]

Wow, you hanging out with Alfie? Your texts sound like him.

Well, when you find out...let me know. I like the Matrix theory, I can sort of understand it.

[jumpthegun]

[Judging turns to bristling. He's halfway through a response about Alfie not having the market cornered on the word 'mate' before realizing that's probably over-defensive. That gets deleted and replaced with something a little quieter.]

We're both from London, not the poshest parts of it. Bit of crossover there. I know it's hard for Americans sometimes. Sorry about that.

I'll keep you up to date, anyway. Let me know if you need anything else with Kesara and just keep her arm in a sling, all right?

[majorlazer]

[Now, Zach definitely feels judged. Ah, these stupid Americans. He knows he's not the brightest crayon in the box, but what does Watson expect, Zach's never heard him speak, only Alfie.]

Wasn't an insult, y'know.

If you can see her when you're around, it'd be good. I'll make sure she knows to keep her arm up, and will let Duster and Tifa know to keep on eye on that. I'm leaving the tunnels tomorrow.

[jumpthegun]

Didn't take it as one.

[Yes he did.]

Keep safe wherever it is you're going, though. Weather never does let up around here, but it's rough if you're going it alone.

[majorlazer]

Not gonna be alone for long. It's keeping me going.

[It's making him oh so very determined. He's got an end goal.]

[jumpthegun]

[That's an... interesting reply.]

Meeting someone special, then?

[majorlazer]

Very. I wouldn't leave Kesara for just anyone.

[The thought still makes Zach smile to himself.]

[jumpthegun]

Who's the lucky boy or girl?

[Happy gossip here? How rare and precious.]

[majorlazer]

unsure yet if she can be called lucky - i don't have the best track record.

it's Steph.

[jumpthegun]

Good time to start a new one. Hope it works out, mate. Really, I do. People deserve whatever happiness they can find here.

[majorlazer]

thanks. we'll see what happens. Just want to make the most of whatever time we have here, considering that, you know. We're all dying.

[Zach chuckles to himself.]

in case you couldn't tell, I'm totally winking right now. Teasing, doc. No dying, I got it.

[jumpthegun]

Well, you know how the song goes?

Always look on the bright side of death.
Just before you draw your terminal breath.

I'm winking, too.

[majorlazer]

woW, THANKS for the earworm, now im going to be whistling all night and Duster's going to stab me

[jumpthegun]

Damn good song to go out on. Mind, I'd prefer the Final Countdown, myself, but you really can't go wrong with Monty Python.
