Hello? What are you saying to me?
Who is this?
Who is this?
I can't see some of your letters. Can you see all of mine?
I'm fine. What happened?
I'm fine. What happened?
Your last word in your first message is missing letters again. I don't understand it.
I don't know. The machine is faulty. [ Don't @ me. ]
Books are fine.

That's a terrible habit. If the conversation isn't important enough for you to type it out properly then say so now and don't try to make me take it seriously.
[ ... but he takes everything seriously. ]
I read often.

I read often.
Hey, c'mon. That's like ordering me not to have fun ever again.
I think I'm going to apply for a part-time job at a store that sells used books. The position involves doing a lot of restoration work like rebinding, doing rewrites, etc. If I'm allowed to borrow them, I'll probably have a bunch to read/work on in my spare time. I thought you might like to look at some.

No it isn't. You have many other opportunities to have fun. Working at the bookstore is just one example.
Are you asking me to also work on them or just to read?

I'm trying to imagine it, but I just can't for some reason. It must be because imagination is fun and I'm not allowed to have that anymore. Sasuke's orders, sorry.
My offer was for the book reading, since I thought you could use a few distractions (that double as research tools). If you're interested in the working on them though don't let me stop you.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you're also having fun right now.
It's that I'm interested or not, just that I'm trying to understand what's being offered to me. If it's your work that you're committing yourself to doing, I'm not going to take that away from you. I'll read what I'm given, however. It might be useful.

I forgot to type one of my words in my last message, but it seems you understood me.
[ Still. He must atone by drawing attention to it, clearly. ]
At your age? That's surprising. [ ... ] I'm also currently unemployed.

It sounds more like a boast than a challenge.
Where I'm from 18 is past the age at which someone should be working. As for me, I'm 19.
[ A real answer, without any dodging of the issue. Truly he's growing up. ] I started working a few years ago, but now I'm more independent.

Oh, I thought you were a bit older than 19 for some reason. This is even better though.
16's the standard back home for working age. I think working when you're 15 or younger is illegal?? Or they put a lot of restrictions on them, at least. I could also be completely talking out of my ass...... so look out.
What'd you do for work?

[ Sixteen? Suddenly he wonders if that's the norm for others as well, given how often he's heard the word "Earth" tossed around now. ]
I did contract work with a team. It varied.
It's good that you're applying for the job here. You picked one that could serve a lot of needs at once. A good source of information and money.

Well that doesn't sound like a stable position, but I guess that'd keep it interesting? Teamwork is always so hit or miss, though..... I'm usually better solo or like just me and one other person. That way if you slack you've only got yourself to blame. You get it.
(Everyone Does)
I aim to please. lol
If I find anything interesting I'll take a pic of the pages I leaf through. You can tell me if I should bring it over, okay?

[ Unstable... right. That's one word for it. Elaborating further on the issue is just asking for trouble, however, and he realizes suddenly that his history runs the risk of disappointing Jonas. More importantly, he also realizes that he doesn't actually want to do that. ]
Lol?
I'll tell you where we can meet if that happens. I haven't chosen a place to live yet so I don't have anything set up for the long-term.

Don't ignore my question just to focus on your own.
