[ For a moment, Bobby just stares at Steve's message with a perplexed look. He's not sure whether or not this is intended for him, but the implications of this message takes precedence. ]

Steve? Did you mean to send this to me?

What's going on?

[ Though he kind of has an inkling on what exactly is going on. ]

[mobilizer]

[ oh. fuck. steve’s stomach sinks. worrying bobby hadn’t been his intent, even though it’s inevitable at this point. ]

I’m sorry, Bobby. Wouldn’t have been that blunt about it, and it does seem my device is acting up.

Gotta find someone to sign with ASAP. I already missed my deadline.

[ SORRY BOBBY, for going back on the assurance he made about doing what it would take to avoid jail. ]

[bobsicle]

[ He figures this is what that initial text was about. He sighs on the other end, looking positively worried. Not that it can be seen through text. ]

Sorry to hear this, Steve. Does this mean you're in jail right now?

I could ask around about any potential uncontracted Submissive, but I don't think I know anyone.

[ Then, with a bit of a delay - ] How are you holding up?

[mobilizer]

[ there are small mercies. steve would experience an even greater guilt if he saw the worry etched into bobby's features. still feels it across the device. ]

I'm doing just fine. I am in jail, yeah, but they give Doms decent accommodations all considering. You don't have to worry about me in here, Bobby.

I'd appreciate that help.
Seems my social circle is lacking.
My fault.

[ so, he's gotta rely on his closest friends to help him out. as per usual. ]

[bobsicle]

I'll still worry about you regardless. Jail is still jail no matter what accommodations this city has given.

But of course, I'll ask around.

[ A small delay as he considers this - ] Maybe you should also post on the network? It has a wider reach and can get you more responses than us having to sift through contacts individually.

[mobilizer]

I'd feel the same way about anyone I cared about being in jail too. I get it. But at least I can still talk to people using this thing.

Thank you, Bobby.

[ oh. oof. bobby's spot on though, isn't it? ]

Right. No, you're right.
I can do that.
Gotta use it when my contact list is so short.

[ he really doesn't wanna contract with someone who's basically a stranger, but. well. he did this to himself. ]

[bobsicle]

[ It's a small mercy to be able to still communicate using their devices, admittedly. Even when they always cause them harm. ]

Yeah, I'm sure it'd help, at least. I'd still ask around, but this will make it easier for us to look through possible candidates.

Don't worry, we'll get you out in no time. Hang in there, Steve.
