[“What” is pretty accurate. Look at all these followers, these endless stream of mentions, snapshots of moments he sort of, kind of remembers… It’s a right mess.]

[Markus feels so very dehydrated. The next message comes with a delay, interrupted by a slow shuffle towards his apartment’s kitchenette to get some water.
It’s too early and his head hurts too much to figure out where to go from here. It’ll take a hot minute for his responses to actually return to normal Markus levels of helpful.]
guess you could go into a career of entertainment now

[He’s one sluggish step ahead of Stephen — he had already checked for that telltale glow the best he could manage in his current state. It wasn’t present, hidden conveniently behind Stephen’s clothing.
He could’ve missed something, of course. There are too many mentions and too many pics to go through, but he has a feeling they’d be getting a different brand of attention if Stephen had displayed a reading of minds and a glowing chest on stage.]
Not sure how you managed to get me to stay up there with you all night, but consider the first one free.
im also not sure this is the kind of visibility we need, even if we are two potential future business owners.
[ there's a little longer between that one and the next, time spent dragging himself out of bed and off in search of hydration and something for his head. it's been a while since he's been this hungover.

I don't think its a reversible process
no subject
[Though maybe it isn't the kind of attention the displaced want. Not right now.
Right?]
though if we cant reverse it, we wait for it to die down, or you use it to your advantage somehow

Stephen can leave the following hanging, but Markus still sends a wayward message after him before he deigns to lie down. Sleep this off. Anything.]
I’d appreciate a heads-up if youre going to drag me into a business venture, yes

no subject
