Anne Boonchuy: Hello?

Anne Boonchuy: Hello? This is Sprig. Who are you? Do you have a phone too?
Anne Boonchuy: Anne?
555-219-2022: Response received.
This is an automated response. Please stand by.
Anne Boonchuy: Alright
555-219-2022: Sprig? Are you still there? This is Terri.
Anne Boonchuy: Terri! Yes, I AM! Can you read these?
555-219-2022: Yup.
Anne Boonchuy: So you have a working portal?
555-219-2022: Well…kind of. It’s only a few nanometers wide. So it can do electronics but not much else.
Anne Boonchuy! But we can talk! This is great! Can you get me in touch with Anne?
555-219-2022: Slow down there kiddo. We’ll need to verify your identity first.
- X
Anne Boonchuy: X? Like a kiss?
555-219-2022: X as in Mr. X. The Secret Agent.
Anne Boonchuy: Oh right you! Ummm…I stole your glasses to read that note that one time. You dissected us that one time except you failed. There was a Mantis later. You got tricked by Hop Pop swapping with an actor.
555-219-2022: I KNEW IT!
555-219-2022: Alright, you are good. We’ll give Anne a call.
Anne Boonchuy: Thankyouthankyouthankyou

Anne Boonchuy: I gotta tell hop pop and polly and everyone
555-219-2022: Sasha and Marcy are there as well, if you could get the toad dude or the newts That would be great.
Anne Boonchuy: I'll send a fly but it may take a few days.
555-219-2022: Alright will send a message a few minutes before we get them here.
Anne Boonchuy: Great!
Notes:
Expect the emotions tomorrow! No, this fic will not update daily, but I do hope to keep a quick clip going. I have a few ideas but don’t hesitate to chime in.

Anne Boonchuy: Polly here how did you adjust the power requirements? Also do you have an specificity about where the signal is entering out dimension
555-219-2022: We’ll look into that. Project Aristophanes is a little understaffed at the moment.

Anne Boonchuy: You managed to do that all by yourself?
Plantar Family: I (Polly) did that
Anne Boonchuy: Oh that makes MUCH more sense
Plantar Family: HEY!
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: You don't need to sign ur texts dude
Anne Boonchuy: Man I can't believe we're actually doing this again. Just like old times. Wow.
Anne Boonchuy: Do you have any pics?
Plantar Family: DO I????????

Anne Boonchuy: And I made him stop doing the weird signature thing!
Plantar Family: Is that an Earth Frog behind you?
Anne Boonchuy: YES! I work at the Aquarium with the frogs and newts and toads! That little guy is named Sprig! Guess who he's named after.
Plantar Family: WOW! THANKS!
Anne Boonchuy: Yeah he's a cutie! Not much of a talker tho
Plantar Family: so cute
Plantar Family: You work at the Aquarium? That is so cool!
555-110-0318: Frog Nerd
Anne Boonchuy: Sash, you cried like a baby when I showed you the toad thing.
555-110-0318: Guilty as charged.
555-110-0318: Hey guys. Sorry to butt in.
Plantar Family: Sasha?
555-110-0318: Yup.
555-110-0318: If you want me to leave I will.
555-110-0318: nvm ouch

Plantar Family: No no, Sasha you're perfectly welcome here.
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: Darn straight
Sasha Waybright: Thanks.
Sasha Waybright: Is Grime there?
Plantar Family: Grime is no longer with us.
- Hop Pop
Sasha Waybright: oh
Anne Boonchuy: I'm sorry to hear that.
Plantar Family: Yes, you just missed him. He was here for a celebration of the anniversary of the battle. But he just left.
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: HOP POP
Anne Boonchuy: HOP POP YOU CANT
Anne Boonchuy: HIP VKDPDNBDHSHGGVHARRRRRERRRERERR
Plantar Family: What?
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: SASHA IIS CRYING OGN THE FLOOR BECAUSE SHE THINKS GRIME IS DED
Plantar Family: Oops.
- Hop Pop
170-313-2222: Hi guys. This is Marcy! Anne is comforting Sasha right now.
Plantar Family: Hi Marcy!
Marcy: Hi! I'm guessing no one is there I know?
Plantar Family: Nope. Olivia and Yunan had to leave early anyway. Minerva was sick.
Marcy: Minerva?
Plantar Family: Their daughter
Marcy: THEIR DAUGHTER?
Marcy: WHEN DID THEY GET TOGETHER???
Plantar Family: The night after you guys blew up the moon?
Plantar Family: That was what their whole speech to you when you left was about. You know, when that held hands?
Marcy: i was such an idiot
Marcy: God I was blind.
Plantar Family: They are doing well though.
Plantar Family: Also did you know a Femur Metzenbaum?
Marcy: FEMUR! Oh my goodness I haven't seen him since before I even met you guys! How is he?
Plantar Family: Pretty good, he came by a few months ago studying the Mossmen. Said he knew you.
Marcy: Good for him good for him! Did he mention Javi and Kettle?
Plantar Family: Said they've divorced and remarried six times in the past year.
Marcy: lol sounds like them kek
Sasha Waybright: Hey guys sorry about that. Freaked out a bit.
Plantar Family: Sorry about that. Grime is alive and well.
- Hop Pop
Plantar Family: Well, last we saw him.
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: HOP POP!!!! NOT HELPING
Sasha Waybright: But he's doing ok right? Like I'm a little worried he'd be lost without his Harp. And what would he even do for a living without being a soldier? And PTSD can be a bitch and frog do you even have a concept of PTSD?
Plantar Family: He's like, Head Toad now. He has a lap harp. And he does some group talk session thing? With other soldiers? I think that helps.
Sasha Waybright: Good good good. What about his diet? Cause when he gets depressed he starts eating a bunch of junk food and drinking too much.
Plantar Family: Umm…not sure about that? He ate pretty normally when he was here.
Sasha Waybright: Cool cool cool.
Anne Boonchuy: So how is everyone in Wartwood?
Plantar Family: Pretty good! Toadie is Mayor now and Toadstool is the assistant.
Anne Boonchuy: Weird!
Plantar Family: I know right?
Anne Boonchuy: Wow!
Plantar Family: Stumpy is still doing Thai fusion. Maddie is selling potions. Wally is still living in a hovel, living his best life.
Plantar Family: Mrs Croaker did pass away. And we do mean she died.
Anne Boonchuy: Oh no!
Sasha Waybright: No! I always figured she'd just beat up death! That's terrible.
Plantar Family: She left some money for a fund in your name to promote cross species collaboration.
Marcy: Sasha is crying again so give her a second. And so is Anne.
Plantar Family: So how's it going for you Marcy?
Marcy: Pretty good! Moved to Massachusetts after we came back. Stayed in touch tho. Went to college. Now I do a webcomic. Its about a girl named Anne and her frog friends.
Plantar Family: Wow! Sounds familiar!
Marcy: The plot is fairly unique! But still super inspired by what happened to us.
Plantar Family: Honored to star!
Marcy: Might be getting an animated adaptation soon!
Plantar Family: Get good actors! Voice acting is very important!
- Hop Pop
Marcy: Will do!
Anne Boonchuy: Alright Terri is getting Sasha some Tea! Tell me EVERYTHING!!!! How is Bessie?
Plantar Family: Pretty good! A proud mother!
Anne Boonchuy: ooo la la, who's the lucky Snail Dad?
Plantar Family: Bird actually
Anne Boonchuy: what
Marcy: Wait…do you mean…
Plantar Family: Yup Joe Sparrow
Anne Boonchuy: what the fuck
Anne Boonchuy: what the actual fuck
Plantar Family: Language.
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: I am 23 fucking years old HP i can swear if i want.
Plantar Family: That was our reaction too tbh.
Marcy: Fascinating!!! And they produced viable offspring?
Plantar Family: Yup! Call 'em Snirds.
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: what the fuck
Plantar Family: I'll send you a picture.
- Hop Pop
Plantar Family:
Plantar Family: Oopsie Daisy.
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: what
Plantar Family: Polly here!
Plantar Family:
Anne Boonchuy: what the fuck
Anne Boonchuy: What the hell
Plantar Family: That one's Woody
Plantar Family: Jim, Paul, and Urban as well (and Frobo, and Microangelo. Apparently he's just small)
Plantar Family: Ta da!
Plantar Family: Frobo says hi BTW
Anne Boonchuy: what the fucking hell
Marcy: Oh my goodness! They fly?
Plantar Family: You are freaking out much less than Anne.
Marcy: Oh I am! Just in a fun Science way!
Anne Boonchuy: I am not freaking out!
Sasha Waybright: Boonchuy I heard you yelling "YOUR BIRD KNOCKED UP MY SNAIL" from outside the room.
Sasha Waybright: Ooooh cute Snirds!
Marcy: Ok you are not surprised at all.
Sasha Waybright: I mean it was gonna happen eventually! I did the wedding and everything.
Plantar Family: What?
Sasha Waybright: Heh you said that right as Anne did.
Sasha Waybright: Yeah with the Resistance and everything I got in charge of marrying people and all. Wild looking back. A 13 year old marrying people and animals. What the heck?
Sasha Waybright: wild
Anne Boonchuy: This is news to me
Sasha Waybright: Yeah. It was fun tho. I'm licensed here now as well. Hit me up if you ever need a wedding. Either of you. Or both ;)
Plantar Family: Hello?
Plantar Family: You still there?
Anne Boonchuy: Fine!
Marcy: So fine!
Sasha Waybright: Definitely.
Plantar Family: So Anne is doing aquariumology, Marcy is doing a Webcomic. What are you doing Sasha?
Anne Boonchuy: It's called Herpetology!
Sasha Waybright: Psychology. Therapy and stuff.
Plantar Family: Huh. Makes sense.
Sasha Waybright: Really? Everyone is always surprised.
Plantar Family: No you were helpful in Wartwood.
Sasha Waybright: Right we covered a bunch of people. Any other news?
Anne Boonchuy: How's Ivy?
Plantar Family: Good.
Anne Boonchuy: Was that a Good Good or a Bad Good? You didn't break up?
Plantar Family: What? No! We're still going out!
Anne Boonchuy: Good! When's the wedding.
Plantar Family: NOT YOU TOO
Plantar Family: That's what we've all been saying!
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: Alright alright I won't pry….much.
Anne Boonchuy: Sooooo….what are you guys doing for a living now?
Plantar Family: Farming. But with Avocados!
- Hop Pop
Plantar Family: I'm doing like exploring stuff. Maps and scientific definitions and history and stuff! We found a whole new continent filled with lizard people and stuff.
Marcy: OH MY GOD.
Marcy: TELL US EVERYTHING.
Plantar Family: Im (Polly) mostly doing engineering work. I have a list of schematics I'd like to see.
1 - Microprocessors.
2 - Ice Cream Makers.
3- Nuclear Reactors
Anne Boonchuy: Maybe later Polly?
Project A: And after we make sure we don't send you anything dangerous.
Sasha Waybright: Have you been monitoring this whole conversation? What the hell?
Project A: …we are in this group chat Waybright.
Sasha Waybright: Oh right.
Project A: So we have some good news and bad news.
Project A: Good news is, now that we've gotten through, you girls don't need to be at the project to use the portal. Just use your phones as normal, heck your computers should work as well if you exchange emails.
Plantar Family: And the bad news?
Project A: This Portal takes a LOT of energy to keep open, even at the small size. If we keep it running 24/7 we risk breaking the power grid from here to Seattle.
Anne Boonchuy: So we can't do this again?
Project A: Never said that. But you're only gonna have a limited time each day. Hard to tell how long, but likely around the length of this conversation.
Plantar Family: That's not long at all.
- Hop Pop.
Project A: No, and we apologize. Hopefully we can improve efficiency. If you want longer a certain day we can try to schedule.
Plantar Family: No, no, thank you very much for just getting us back in contact.
- Hop Pop
Project A: We'll plan on opening the portal this time every day, alright?
Anne Boonchuy: Sounds like a plan.
Marcy: Let’s do it
Plantar Family: THAT SOUNDS GREAT
Sasha Waybright: Yeah definitely.
Project A: Will do. But until then, power situation is gonna need to be addressed. Say your goodbyes.
Marcy: It was great to hear from you all! See you tomorrow!
Sasha Waybright: Nice talking to you guys again. Get Grime there as soon as possible!!!! Tell him I love him so much!!!!
Anne Boonchuy: This has been one of the greatest days of my life. It was so so great to just talk with you all for a short bit of time. Hop Pop I am so glad the hear that the farm is going well, and more importantly that you are as well.
Plantar Family: Well thank you. I’m very proud of the woman my granddaughter has become.
- Hop Pop
Anne Boonchuy: Now I’m crying again.
Anne Boonchuy: Polly, I am so proud you’re keeping up with robotics. So glad you’ve changed your world as much as you changed mine.
Plantar Family: Awww thanks!
Anne Boonchuy: And Sprig..,I just can’t describe how great it is to talk with you again. My best friend from all the worlds. I told you once you’d always be part of my life, and you always have.
Plantar Family: Spranne Against the World?
Anne Boonchuy: Spranne Against the World.
Notes:
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night! Bonus points if you get the Snird names.
Chapter Text
Plantar Family: SIGNAL IS HERE. I REPEAT SIGNAL IS HERE!
Anne Boonchuy: AHHHH YOU GUYS IT IS SO GREAT TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN!!!!
Plantar Family: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Marcy: Hello! Hello!
Sasha Waybright: Wait Marcy why isn’t your last name on your name.
Marcy: idk the Planatars have naming rights on this group
Plantar Family: I got tired of writing out full names.
Marcy: My last name is literally two letters.
Plantar Family: Fair point. Now none of you have last names.
Plantar Family: Anyway how are you all!!!!!
Anne: Great! You have no idea how much better it’s been knowing I can look forward to you!!!!
Plantar Family: same!
Anne: It was so much fun at work today! I even gave Andy some extra snacks!
Plantar Family: Andy?
Anne: Giant Salamander. Trust me I did NOT pick the name.
Marcy: Speaking of that…is he still…
Plantar Family: He’s still holding on. But barely. He won’t live long. Olivia, Yunan, and Grime likely have some more details.
- Hop Pop
Marcy: Ok thanks.
Marcy: Anyway. We’re all packed into Sasha’s apartment! Ready to chat.
Sasha: god it feels like it’s been forever.
Anne: My parents have work, still the restaurant. But they say hi! Will talk when they can!
Plantar Family: YES tell them we said hi!!!!!
Plantar Family: Also Dr. Jan! And Molly Jo!
Plantar Family: And Humphrey!
- Hop Pop.
Plantar Family: And Ally and Jess!
Anne: Sure!
Marcy: Mr. X will probably want approval…
Plantar Family: Whoooooooooooooooo caaaaaaaarrrrrrreeeeeess
Sasha: Probably the United States Government.
Anne: Government shmoverment. They already know the truth.
Plantar Family: You tell em Anne!
Plantar Family: We've sent messages out to Grime and Olivia and Yunan as well. No word back yet. But Grime is only a few days out and the newts have Joe Sparrow so they can get here super fast.
Marcy: Thanks!
Sasha: Thanks. Do you happen to know whatever happened to Percy and Braddock?
Plantar Family: Who?
Anne: Who?
Marcy: Who?
Sasha: You know I can hear you say that out loud right? You don't need to type it.
Marcy: We just want to share our reactions with the Plantars. In this case complete befuddlement. Who are Percy and Braddock?
Sasha: Acquaintances from the Toad Tower days. And the early rebellion. We didn't leave on the best of terms…
Plantar Family: Oh is that who you were blubbering about when you left?
- Hop Pop
Sasha: shut up
Marcy: I knew you were a softie.
Sasha: Shut up, none of us knew who Femur whatshisface was before yesterday.
Anne: well I did.
Sasha: Wait what?
Marcy: Yeah I mentioned him in my journal.
Sasha: Anne you read her journal?
Anne: I mean how else do you think I deciphered the runes?
Sasha: I thought you just took the chart thingy! Not that you actually read all of her thoughts!
Marcy: Sasha it's fine.
Sasha: No it's not! Journals and Diaries are intensely private and personal! You can't just go rooting around in them.
Sasha: Sorry Psychologist Brain.
Marcy: It's ok. Glad you look out for stuff like that. We're even now though. I read everything Anne wrote in it while she had it.
Anne: wait what
Marcy: We talked about this.
Anne: oh right.
Marcy: I still have it lying around, I brought it over. If you want to Sasha, fair is fair.
Sasha: nope nope I am good.
Plantar Family: ANYWAY! I am super interested in knowing what happened over there after the whole…thing. Did you guys use the frobos to make some cool new tech.
Marcy: No.
Plantar Family: Awwwww
Anne: The Official Story is that it was all a movie shoot gone terribly terribly wrong.
Sasha: Which is such bullshit. Andrias blew up the goddamn Hollywood sign!
Anne: Most people don't buy it tbh but it keeps things running. And I'm pretty sure this portal isn't the only thing Mr. X is cooking up.
Plantar Family: Lame. I've built a rudimentary phone network in that time. What's your excuse?
Plantar Family: Speaking of that, could you send over some cell phone schematics? I think I could get a broader system up and running. Which would mean we don't all have to share one phone.
Plantar Family: That does seem nice.
- Hop Pop.
Marcy: I've got some stuff on my hard drive back east. Not with me at the moment.
Plantar Family: It thought you drew that webcomic thingy.
- Hop Pop
Marcy: I do. But that doesn't mean I still don't love this kinda thing! I'll send it over once I fly back.
Plantar Family: So you did end up moving?
Marcy: Yeah Massachusetts.
Plantar Family: Where is that? Sounds painful.
Sasha: Yeah it is. We went out there for Spring break once. It was freezing.
Marcy: It was not! It was like 40 degrees! That's warm for New England! It wasn't even winter!
Sasha: SoCal Girl, SoCal Girl.
Plantar Family: These words mean nothing to me.
- Hop Pop
Sasha: Sorry. Anyway! Any news on your end?
Plantar Family: Normal life so far. Crops coming along well. Should be a good harvest.
- Hop Pop
Anne: Told anyone the good news yet?
Plantar Family: We've kept it quiet for now. Want to make sure this thing is stable first. Also we have some out of town visitors.
- Hop Pop
Marcy: Where from?
Anne: In the House?
Plantar Family: No just…around town. But we don't get things flying out of control you know?
- Hop Pop
Plantar Family: How were your days?
- Hop Pop
Marcy: Oh I had a backlog for the Webcomic so I haven't been drawing or writing.
Anne: Just yesterday you pulled out your notebook while we were at the beach!
Marcy: That was the journal!
Anne: Oh.
Sasha: And at the aquarium?
Marcy: Alright fine I thought the Seahorse Stables could be a fun setting.
Anne: Not my Amphibians?
Anne: :(
Marcy: I already mined Amphibia for inspiration and you mined it for your exhibit.
Anne: Fair.
Anne: Like I said it was mostly a usual day, except how excited I was about this convo. Fed the animals, cleaned the exhibits. Took Bruce the Python out for a show and tell with a tour group.
Sasha: Is he the yellow one?
Anne: yeah.
Plantar Family: picture picture picture?
Anne: oh yeah, sure let me pull it up
Anne: sash you can talk about your day while I pull it up
Sasha: Well I had some client meetings and I can't really tell you about that. I also supervise some of the Rec time at the center. Broke up a fight over some Cheetos.
Plantar Family: Huh.
Sasha: Yeah.
Anne: Here we go
Plantar Family: AAAAAAA
Plantar Family: horrifying snake monster!
Anne: Bruce? No! He's just a big ol’ softie. Probably wouldn't know what to do with anything that wasn't a dead rat.
Anne: I'll have to give you a video tour at some point. If you can handle video on your end.
Plantar Family: Maybe. I'd have to see. We can't actually send photos digitally on phones we built here. Just yours. We can connect our system to this phone, but I'm not sure we can hitch our phones to your system.
Marcy: We?
Plantar Family: Oh me and Fuji. She's a toad who's been working on some of the tech stuff. We'd have to manage the storage carefully on this one. I'm still not sure how it's still connected. I mean this is what, a decade out of date now?
Marcy: Good point! Anne have you been paying a bill for your old phone all this time?
Anne: I mean kinda? There's a max of four on the plan my family uses. So that's my parents plus me, so I guess my old one never got booted.
Plantar Family: Ok that makes sense. Yeah I'll have to see about forking this number or something so we can all talk individually. It's a little cumbersome like this. Sorry.
Marcy: Don't be! From the sounds of it you've made amazing progress from pretty humble origins!
Plantar Family: Would have made more of SOMEONE had let me examine this phone.
Plantar Family: agagehhaht
Anne: Guys? Guys?
Plantar Family: Sorry about that. Sprig and Polly were fighting over the phone. Long-standing fight. Polly thinks she can take it apart, study it, and put it back together again. Sprig doesn't trust her to do that.
- Hop Pop
Anne: Guys?
Plantar Family: Well I mean good thing she didn’t because if she had we never would havedkkdkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Plantar Family: We definitely need to work on getting individual connections up and running.
- Hop Pop
Anne: I can tell.
Anne: So Hop Pop, any developments on you and Sylvia?
Plantar Family: Perfectly respectable Anne, thank you very much.
- Hop Pop
Anne: C’mon HP, you know we need details…
Marcy: We? Anne me and Sasha have no idea who that is.
Sasha: I mean Sylvia spent MONTHS mooning over you during the resistance, so I am kinda interested in where that wound up.
Marcy: Oh yeah.
Plantar Family: She basically lives here now, it’s kinda gross.
Plantar Family: You just say that because you want to sneak Ivy over insteaddkkfkfjsidijdjsjsj
Plantar Family: Jdjdidusuahej
Plantar Family: djedididusiwuw
Anne: just like old times.
Marcy: shouldn’t they be old enough for their own places?
Plantar Family: Sprig’s out exploring a lot of the time so he doesn’t really need it. Most of my lab stuff is in the Fwagon, only it’s a bit difficult to move because all of the weight.
Anne: Polly?
Plantar Family: Yeah, I called in Frobo to keep the upper hand. Say Hi Frobo.
Plantar Family: Hello Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright and Mary Wu. :D :D :D
Marcy: Hey Frobo! Still going good?
Plantar Family: Parameters Well Within Acceptable Levels of Positivity.
Plantar Family: Anyway, yeah we should be able to hook up our phones to yours. Although only for text and live calls. Our recording tech isn't up to that standard yet.
Plantar Family: Oh and just to be safe here's some schematics for our reception array. So if this phone breaks you guys can still tap in.
PhRecPlansFINAL(2).pdf
Marcy: Sounds like a plan.
Anne: Polly.
Anne: Polly are you going to let Sprig and Hop Pop go.
Plantar Family: Oh yeah. Just a sec.
Plantar Family: Alright I'm back Anne! And I've got Hop Pop between us so she won't tackle me again. I just wish she…well I don't want to lose this again.
Anne: Neither do I dude. It's been…it's been a lot. It was really hard at first. And then after it was still really hard. Not being able to see you guys or talk to you guys…it hurt. It hurt a lot.
Plantar Family: Same here. It just…this almost feels like a dream still. And I'm worried about anything that might wake me up.
Anne: Same dude. But uh, try not to beat each other up ok?
Plantar Family: Ok.
Plantar Family: What are you planning on doing the rest of the week?
Anne: Besides talking with you? Mostly hanging out with Marcy and Sasha. Marcy’s only going to be in town for so long after all.
Plantar Family: How long?
Anne: Up till my birthday right?
Marcy: That's the plan at least. But I am seriously considering moving back to LA.
Anne: Oh shit really???? That'd be so cool!
Marcy: I mean me and Sasha talked about it a bit last night when we got back.
Marcy: I'm staying with her btw Plantars.
Marcy: I figure if I really am serious about this Comic Thing Southern California is as good a place as any. San Diego is right down the road, plenty of artistic options around.
Anne: That would be super cool!
Marcy: It would! I've been mostly piddling around New Haven since graduating. The Conservatory is great, but I'm not really thinking it's a career.
Sasha: Still no bites from like a research center?
Marcy: None that aren't owned by some vaguely sinister corporations. And like I said before, I'm not going for a Doctorate.
Anne: Have you talked with your folks???
Marcy: Not yet. I only just started thinking about it. Adding that much distance would be tough…they've really put down roots in Massachusetts.
Project A: Portal Closing Down Soon.
