Slugtectives 2 - Day 29: 321 words

“That is you Larry, right?” Dru asked.
Larry turned to face Dru and signaled yes with his tentacles to which Dru nodded his head.
“Good, I figured I better make sure since there are two of you and I haven’t quite figured out how to tell you apart from another slug,” Dru said with a shrug.
Larry looked at Gary and said after a pause, “I guess I could see how we look the same to him.”
“Vivian is coming over soon. I’ve been finding out a lot in the Backwater server and I’m not liking it. I’ve been far more involved in all this shit than I had remembered and I’m afraid of what I had done. I’ve made notes of the results I have gone through but if I keep reading through it I think my head will crack. Is there anyway you can finish going through or at least get through a bunch of the results? Make some digital notes is fine, but I gave you the app so you could do the same thing?” Dru had knelt down as he began to speak and tried to keep his voice low so as not to yell at them.
Larry looked to Gary then back to Dru and the only thing he could think to do was to respond yes. His tentacles moved stifly then returned to the vertical position. He didn’t know what else to do to get any kind of meaning parted between them. It seemed silly to try but he couldn’t stop himself. The need to ensure his point was made was becoming overwhelming. Dru squatted over them and watched as Larry went through the various stages of understanding until he finally calmed himself down and could answer in a more thoughtful manner.
Dru watched him fidgeting for a while then said, “You can always it me up on the phone if that is easier.”
