"I'm just saying," Jen continued, calmly but firmly, "you did pretty much say that his chances of death are high. I don't know how comfortable I am sending my brother off into that kind of danger."
"Oh, come on, Jen, I've been in plenty of deadly situations," Evan reasoned with her. "I've fought the Generals, I've escaped space-time prisons, I faced the Great Black Beast... alone... twice, need I remind you. I can handle this. And like she said, we'll have greater power in numbers."
He looked down at Swift, then back at Jen. "I appreciate your concern, I really do, but my mind is set. So if you really want to look out for me, then you'll come with me and keep me out of trouble."
Jen took a deep breath, knowing all too well that Evan would not be dissuaded that easily. She cast a glance at Darien, as if asking for his input. The Brit just shrugged and said, "He's not wrong. It's a risk, but isn't everything we get mixed up in?"
With a light sigh and a nod, Jen mumbled, "Alright. If you're sure about this, I'll do what I can to help."
"Sweet!" Patrick whooped, pumping a fist and throwing his other arm over Ace's shoulder. "The Summer Snow Valley crew on another whirlwind adventure!"

"The adventure of a life time," Forsaken offered. "Now the other issue that I had on hand. Any of you have something called PesterChum?"

Andromeda and Aether had kept quiet during the entire conversation. (Of course, the former being quiet was kind of a moot point.) They understood everything that was being conveyed, and while Andromeda was uncertain about where she stood on this matter, Aether found herself agreeing with Jen that this was a gamble, but one that they would most certainly help Evan accomplish.
Swift looked up at Evan, finally reflecting sadness rather than frustration. She leaned her head on his shoulder. "I go where you go."
Ace grinned at Patrick, his enthusiasm never failing to pique hers. "Yeah, baby!"
In response to Forsaken's next question, Andromeda and Aether merely shook their heads, Ace muttered, "Um, no..." and Swift of course said nothing.

"Afraid not," Jen answered.
"Never heard of it," Darien said.
"Haha, yeah! Wait, no," Patrick blurted.
"I think I've heard of it," Evan offered. "It's kinda like a chatroom, right?"
Kendall merely smiled at her. He didn't speak, but he didn't need to. No one might've realized it, but his grin pretty much said it all.

"Its what my friends and I used to keep in touch during the game," she offered as she pulled a small teal ear piece out and put it on. "If you want we can set up accounts for everyone. It'll help us know who is doing what and where they're located. My handle on there is dracoricMistress."

"That sounds like a sensible idea!" Aether finally spoke up.
"Yeah, sounds cool to me," Ace agreed.
Swift still wasn't talking.

"Yeah! Yeah, let's definitely do that," Evan agreed, immediately pulling his phone out. "Better do it now so I don't forget."
Patrick and Darien followed suit. Jen figured she might as well too; if there was a way to keep up with her brother and this girl that he was so keen to team up with, she was all for it.

"So first thing is first," Forsaken offered as she clicked a button on the ear piece and a screen formed infront of her eyes. "Chumhandles. A weird but good nickname for each person."

"Can do," Ace said as she and the others looked up Pesterchum on their phones and created their accounts. Swift hesitated, but eventually let go of Evan so she could follow suit; it wasn't like she wanted to be the odd one out.
Swift: pinkmoonWolf (PW) [ec008c]
Ace: spadedHeart (SH) [ed1c24]
Andromeda and Aether: astrologicalDuo (AD) [6dcff6]

Darien: slaughteredLamb (SL) [603913]
Jen: motherMarksman (MM) [005826]
Patrick: arcaneGhostbuster (AG) [00ff00]
When Evan tried to create his account, he was shocked to discover that his obvious choice of paramountKeymaster was already taken. It soon crossed his mind to attempt logging into this account, and sure enough, he correctly guessed the password on the first try and brought up his alternate self's page. It seemed that he already had a few chums, including Forsaken and someone by the chumhandle of clockworkAngel.
Well, gee. Who could THAT have been?
Still, as predictable as both Kendall and Evan's alternate were, this did raise a few questions. Namely why the alternate Evan named himself after this Evan's main weapon and why Kendall was already signed into Pesterchum. Oh well. Questions for later.
Evan: paramountKeymaster (PK) [ffff00]
Kendall: clockworkAngel (CA) [fffecc]

Forsaken raised an eyebrow. "Slaughtered Lamb?" she questioned as she added the group names at the table to her chumroll. "Add each other to your lists." She gave a chuckle seeing paramountKeymaster light up.

"Ha haaaaa, nice!" Ace laughed at Darien's choice of chumhandle. "American Werewolf in London reference!"
"Certainly something to go by..." Aether awkwardly offered as she helped Andromeda add the others to their chumroll.
Swift had no outward reaction as she went about her business.

At Ace's comment, Darien slumped lower into his seat and moaned softly. Maybe he shouldn't have picked something so overt...
Patrick smiled at him, then at Ace. "You're learning well! But, uh, maybe we should ix-nay on the erewolf-way."
"Oh, hey, what about Toby? And Carter?" Evan asked. "We don't wanna leave them out."
"Right. We'll drop by the apartment once we're all finished here," Jen replied. "Anything else need covered while we're at it?"

"I think we're good. And it's fine. I just didn't get the reference, Darien," Forsaken offered. "Now. I think I should offer a toast but.... I don't think a melted frosty is appropriate to toast with...."

"Aw, the heck with it," Ace chuckled, raising her half-drained, half-soaked cup of soda. "I'll toast to an adventure any day, any way."
Swift put her phone away and sadly looked Evan in the eyes. "So... we're really doing this, huh?"
