[Guess who's actually doing a network post on his own free will, for once? That's right. This kid. But ever since he'd come back from his kidnapping, he'd been feeling a little bit...off. It wasn't something he could really place, though. Not yet.
He needed a distraction. One that isn't trying to pick a physical fight with people because that never seemed to end well here. If he's already not feeling on the top of his game it's going to end even worse than usual.]
What's the point of friendships?
[There's a bit of a pause, before he tacks on:]
Don't give me that warm and fuzzy stuff, either. I don't want to hear it.
[Well, that was short and sweet enough. He's just. Going to end it here.]

[Though Sync is...stubborn...]
no subject
I see... then perhaps we both got off easy this time.
[But he still doesn't sound so convinced. The effects from the last time he was kidnapped took weeks to show up. And for them to take both Sync and Ion and return them at the same time makes him wonder if perhaps it was more than just a coincidence.]
no subject
[And he isn't quite sure what. He doesn't want to mention to Ion that he feels off of course, because then it'll be even more annoying.
Just what happened, is the question...]
no subject
[Ion wouldn't know how to explain the "off" feeling he's has since coming back, but for now he's just chalked it up to the usual feelings of discomfort that come from being kidnapped and experimented on.]
no subject
[He's only asking to make sure something hasn't already started affecting him before coming around to Sync.]
no subject
[Ion doesn't know why he knows that, but he does. Perhaps because Sync always lies? That's gotta be it.]
Nothing that I wouldn't attribute to the kidnapping itself. [...] But you're sure you haven't felt anything?
no subject
I said no! Stop asking!
no subject
[He's asking sincerely -- he feels so sure about it, and he isn't sure why. Normally he wouldn't bother if he just thought that Sync were lying because he didn't want to talk to him, but in this case it's almost as though he can feel it. After what happened to the two of them, anything out of the ordinary seems suspicious.]
no subject
[This kid's gonna have high blood pressure, I swear, with how much he works himself up.
Why does he feel like Ion knows, though...]
no subject
[He trails off. Maybe it was just his imagination? It could be he's more worried about all this than he thought he was -- what if they did something like last time, and it would only be a matter of time before something terrible happened to one of them?]
[The thought sends a cold chill down his spine. He didn't want to go through something like that again. And he'd certainly never wish something like that on Sync.]
...I must have just imagined something. I'm sorry to have bothered you.
no subject
Nothing terrible's going to happen, or it would've happened--
[Wait. What was he saying? Ion hadn't said anything about that...]
--Nevermind. Forget I said anything.
no subject
[Okay, hold on. Ion is fairly sure he didn't say anything about that out loud, and Sync is the last person he'd expect to comfort him out of the blue.]
Just a moment... what were you about to say?
no subject
Something.]
I said, forget I said anything!
[You walked into that one.]
no subject
[If Sync is going to go on behaving like a child, there's no point in trying to get anything out of him.]
[Though his tone sounded just a tad sharp for Ion -- for some reason, he's starting to feel really irritated right now.]
But I'm going to contact you again if something changes. If they've done anything to me, it's possible they may have done the same to you as well.
no subject
I don't care. Good luck finding me.
[Yep acting like a child.]
no subject
[Maybe these random headaches have something to do with it...]
