This Is You ?

woah you just… followed me?? WHY???

(I’m happy, just surprised lol. Thanks :3)

Hi there! I’m just a fella lookin’ to make friends ‘round these parts — nice to make your acquaintance!

Hello, everybody! Long time no see!

s or ry it's be en a littl e bi t.

Hope everything’s been goin’ well on your front. Oh, it’s been a stellar time for us! Can’t believe Henry and I celebrated our one-year-anniversary just a week ago.

ther e was a par t y but it ha d to be pr etty quiet. you kn ow why. than ks for all the wel l- wis hes t hou gh!

Now, I’ve been hard at work. Henry here’s helped me gain more of an understanding of what kinda li’l’ procedures may be a bit more, well, humane-like to be subjectin’ folks to. Together, we’ve designed a bit o’ something that may help undo the li’l’ experiment I carried out a couple of years ago. We’ve designed it to be a sort of game. Painless! Harmless! You tell ‘em, Henry!

well, i woul dn't call it a game , ex ac tl y, but more of ext ra h an ds on d eck du r ing th e actual operation. s ort ing ou t th e signals, t hat ki nd of thing. it shouldn't hurt them at all. and shouldn't hurt us. i made sure of th at.

Yes! Extra hands on deck! We’re gonna need your help. Stay tuned!

Are you guys doing okay? The response to the last ask looks a bit odd

i feel ok. pretty ok. somet imes things sound different to you all than me... what's wrong?

Say that again?

woah, i haven't checked your blog in a while and just noticed that now there's two of you running it! hope you like it here so far, henry!

We just found our way back here! Gettin' accustomed to these new digs and everything.

yeah, you haven't missed much. not here, anyway. and i like it here just fine. will's here, after all.

Heya Henry, have you ever considered selling Big Red Box merch? I know we all would love to rep the band lol! I know you can't put stuff into the outside world, but there's lots of websites nowadays that let you upload an image and print out the merch for you! You could even get Will to travel to them if that's safer. Here's an example: https://www.printful.com

By the way, darlin', did you make these ones? 'heaven is a radio station'?

Nope! Didn't feel like somethin' you would say, neither.

hmm. str an ge. well, they' r e all go in g tow ar ds keeping the li ght s on aroun d here, so I don't necess ar ily min d it. i guess.

The more the merrier, what I always say!

Wahoo! Filin' it away with my keepsakes!

hey will and henry! took a nice picture the other day and thought you might like to see it :]

wow that's gorgeous! lovely mountains out there. must've been quite the hike to get such a view! and those stratus clouds are just gorgeous. my dad always used to say you can tell if they're stratus or cirrostratus because they look like the side of a fish when you slice it open. and boy, what a lake. we should go fishing sometime!

Thanks for sharin', that's beautiful! Nearly as beautiful as seeing my honeydarlin' light up over it.

hey. haha. guess i miss it more than i thought.

hi, william. what do you find motivating you the most when you're struggling or upset?

Thinkin' 'bout whatever I'm workin' towards at the moment! Any kinda negative emotion is inconsequential. I'll get over it! Time feels shorter and forever feels longer the longer you're alive!

When did you first meet Henry? Do you remember what year it was?

Early 1986 or thereabouts!
