Well, would you look at that? You really are immortal.

I'd tell you that you haven't aged a day, but you haven't got your video on.

[This message could not possibly be more sarcastic.]

text -> video

[notaquaman]

is that a request?

[It probably wasn't, but Nathan turns on his video anyway, and he's striking a sexy pose, rubbing his hands over his chest and waggling his bushy eyebrows.]

[keepscalm]

I see you've actually regressed in age. Congratulations.

[England is not dignifying this with a video response.]

[notaquaman]

is that ur way of telling me i have the face of a newborn angel?
bc i'm not being funny or anything but i think u might b onto sumthing
maybe it isn't just that i'm immortal maybe i'm a living breathing fountain of youth

[I hope you missed your honorary citizen.]

[keepscalm]

You jest, but mortal creatures who live in close proximity to nations for extended periods of time can end up with longer lifespans.

[Not here, though. Thankfully...]

[notaquaman]

that sounds pretty win win

[He doesn't know... :( ]

surprised ur gov doesn't hit u up 4 that elixir of life

[keepscalm]

Well, the problem is, humans perceive the passage of time differently from nations. As such, when their lives become longer, their sense of time doesn't follow. It ends up driving them mad.

So, you know, there are pros and cons. [Ha ha ha...]

[notaquaman]

[Ah...yeah, wasn't Enoch talking about how things would be different once he actually gets older? Like Nathan has the attention span to really think too hard about it.]

always a catch isn't there?

[Here we see Nathan gently skirting around actually addressing that he might one day go insane.]

i think being immortal would b a tad more appealing if it also came w/ immunity 2 pain
like yea u come back aftr getting axed in2 pieces
thats great every1 is impressed
u still gotta deal with getting axed in2 pieces
4 fuck's sake

[keepscalm]

Yes, that's always a tad annoying. You build up your pain tolerance after a while, but some things you just can't get used to.

[notaquaman]

[Nathan almost asks England not to spare him the gory details...but then he remembers that this place hasn't been pulling any punches, so maybe...that would be unkind. And as much of a shit as he is, he's kind of feeling the "I really don't have any friends" sting.]

guessing this hellhole has been outdoing itself in unexpected ways for ppl 2 get themselves fucked

[keepscalm]

Indeed. Doctor Watson has been writing up summaries, if you're so inclined.

I would explain it all myself, but I don't have much confidence that I could do it more eloquently. [Which really just means England doesn't want to talk about it, because as if he'd ever genuinely claim that he couldn't write something.]

[notaquaman]

yea i'll get 2 it

[Nathan and reading, though...]

shakespeare tho

[Truly an incredible and thoughtful response. Compliment? Something?]

anyway that said
glad ur still here
i mean
u kno what i mean
not vry many familiar @s

[keepscalm]

[While Nathan is an incorrigible twat, England has his suspicions that he isn't feeling too great about waking up to so many unfamiliar faces--and so few familiar ones. He saw that exchange with Doctor Strange about Aigis.]

Fairly certain I'll still be here for a while yet, so you don't need to worry about that.

Where are you right now, anyway? We've opened up a lot more of the town in your absence.

[notaquaman]

police station
anywhere worth or not worth the effort of travel?
give this beautiful boy a case & he'll crack it wide the fuck open

[keepscalm]

Worth it in a wider sense, yes, since they're getting us closer to where we need to be. But most of the new areas aren't exactly scenic. We found some more tunnels through the ice walls that are swimming in radiation. [Just as an example.]
