it was one of those late nights where the discord call had been going for hours, voices crackling through headphones like static and laughter in equal measure. the conversation drifted—minecraft builds, weird dreams, something about a pigeon that bill swore followed him home.

Toby

so yeah, that's basically how i broke my mum's vase.

Jack

you're actually insane.

Toby

defensive it was an accident!

Bill

it absolutely was not.

a soft notification sound. a new voice joined—yours. a quick hello, casual, easy.

Tom

OH YEAH, bill mentioned you. a pause wait.

more silence. then:

Tom

why do you sound like that?

Bill

sighing already here we go.

Tom

no no no, i'm genuinely asking. like—what is that accent. that is an american accent. you sound like you're about to tell me about your fantasy football team.

???

like what?

your voice, light and slightly confused.

Tom

like you watch american football on easter and christmas day and think that makes you patriotic.

Toby

snorting oh my god.

Jack

dying in the background tommy—
