Guys Gone Wild（er）
The Order
Mekhi: We need to do something for Jaxon
Luca: i agree
Luca: we can’t just leave him like this
Rafael: What do you have in mind?
Liam: I’m not sure he’s up for anything
Byron: Would you be?
Byron: He just lost his mate.
Mekhi: Which is why we can’t leave him in that damn tower alone forever
Mekhi: Have you seen what he’s done to the place?
Rafael: Yeah.
Rafael: He’s a mess.
Liam: So what are we talking about doing here?
Liam: Staging an intervention?
Byron: I value my head on my body, thank you very much.
Luca: no shit
Rafael: So what do you want to do, M?
Rafael: Kidnap him and take him to Vegas?
Mekhi: If I thought that would work, I’d do it
Rafael: What about taking him down to Seattle?
Byron: Or to London.
Byron: We could hit all our regular haunts.
Byron: Maybe even find a couple new ones.
Luca: and remind him things were pretty good before grace
Liam: if by pretty good you mean he couldn’t feel anything
Rafael: And was isolated from everyone but us
Luca: and had the worst fucking parents in existence
Liam: To be fair, he still has those same parents
Liam: So we shouldn’t have to try to solve that too
Luca: good point
Mekhi: Yeah, but the rest of the stuff is true.
Mekhi: So maybe not London…
Byron: Why don’t we just go deeper into the mountains?
Byron: No one goes past a certain point anyway.
Byron: We’d have the whole area to ourselves.
Luca: jv loves doing shit like that
Mekhi: Yeah, he does
Mekhi: We could hike, snowboard, outrun an avalanche or two
Mekhi: It could be fun
Liam: Plus endorphins are a thing
Rafael: Seriously? Endorphins are a thing????
Liam: What? They are!
Byron: No shit, Sherlock.
Liam: I’m just saying
Liam: It’s pretty hard to be depressed and devastated when you’re racing an avalanche
Liam: Maybe he just needs to remember what it feels like to have good chemicals pumping through his brain.
Rafael: That seems a little simplistic to me
Mekhi: Do you have a better idea?
Rafael: I would have mentioned it if I did
Luca: so we’re doing this
Luca: taking Jaxon all the way up the mountains
Liam: Extreme Sports Vampire Style!!!
Liam: Sounds pretty kick-ass to me
Byron: And if this doesn’t work?
Mekhi: If it doesn’t work, we try something else
Mekhi: And we keep trying shit till we find something that does work
Mekhi: Because I’m afraid of what happens if we leave him like this much longer
Byron: I do want to say one thing.
Byron: We all want to help Jaxon.
Byron: I certainly do.
Byron: But there’s no timeline for this.
Byron: We can’t just snowboard down a few mountains, wait a few weeks, and then do it all again.
Byron: Losing a mate doesn’t work like that.
Byron: Instead, it just fucking eats away at your soul and hits you when you least expect it.
Byron: You’re going along, think you’re not drowning, and then something happens and it just pulls you back under.
Byron: Jaxon isn’t just going to “get over” losing Grace.
Mekhi: …
Luca: …
Liam: …
Rafael: …
Byron: Sorry.
Byron: Didn’t mean to drag shit down.
Mekhi: You didn’t
Liam: I’m sorry, man
Rafael: We weren’t trying to be insensitive
Luca: can we do something to help?
Byron: Don’t do that.
Byron: I’m not making this about me.
Byron: I just wanted to point out this shit doesn’t fucking go away.
Byron: There’s no easy fix.
Liam: So no guys’ night on the mountain?
Byron: Sure, we do a guys’ night.
Byron: Just be prepared to do a lot of guys’ nights.
Byron: One isn’t going to cut it.
Mekhi: No shit
Luca: maybe i should buy a tent
Liam: Maybe you should buy six tents.
Liam: I’m not sleeping with your feet in my face
Luca: dude
Luca: buy your own damn tent
Mekhi: I’m not buying a tent.
Byron: Me either.
Byron: I don’t sleep on the ground.
Liam: There are air mattresses, you know
Rafael: Yeah, you want to be the one telling Jaxon Vega he needs to sleep on an air mattress?
Liam: You make a good point
Rafael: I usually do
Luca: modesty looks good on you, rafa
Rafael: Everything looks good on me.
Rafael: It’s a gift and a curse
Byron: Careful or you’re going to end up sounding like Liam.
Liam: What the fuck does that mean?
Mekhi: So we’ve got a plan?
Luca: yeah
Byron: Jaxon, snowboard, mountain, avalanche.
Luca: rinse and repeat as needed
Rafael: Don’t forget the endorphins, guys
Rafael: Endorphins are very important
Liam: Fuck you
Liam: And what the fuck did you mean earlier about him sounding like me?
Mekhi: Last question.
Mekhi: Who’s telling Jaxon?
Liam: What do you mean last question?
Liam: I have questions
Liam: Don’t mine count?
Byron: I’ll tell him.
Byron: Maybe he’ll take it better from me.
Luca: may the force be with you
Byron: Yeah, because Star Wars is going to help me in this situation.
Luca: to be fair, star wars helps every situation
Rafael: True story
Mekhi: Tomorrow night?
Byron: Sounds good.
Byron: I’ll run by and talk to him later tonight.
Byron: So you might plan on standing under a doorway for a while.
Liam: Forget a doorway. I’m leaving the vicinity
Luca: i’ll scout the area, find a good place
Rafael: I’ll put together a cooler
Mekhi: And I’ll go by and check on him after he’s had a chance to cool off from Byron.
Liam: I feel like we should do a little chant to break the huddle
Liam: At least a 3, 2, 1 break
Liam: Who wants to lead it?
Liam: ????
Liam: You could have at least said you’d brb
