You know what universe? Okay, I get the point. That sleep-talking tape? I'll finish it tonight, if you promise to get me back home right now. That's how you make deals, right? Oh, god, I probably owe everyone such a big apology if this isn't dimension hopping.

Man, oh, man. Please let this be dimension hopping.

I think I've pretty much hit the definition of desperate here, so if I could get some confirmation, that would be great. I got the spiel but I'm...paranoid.

For, you know.

Reasons.

[And a pause.]

Also, calling number...24....number 24?

Billy?

[Given what he's saying, she's not sure what to think. Why would he owe everyone a big apology? ... Why would he want it to be dimension hopping, especially after everything they've seen?

Then again, Billy's choice of what to be optimistic about has always been a little skewed.]

[selfequipped]

... It's Kate. [Right, he can probably tell that.] Where are you? I'll come find you. There's a lot to fill you in on, though hopefully less than there could be.

[iampretty]

I'm assuming you live at House 24? Otherwise, I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.

voice;

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, that would be it.

Are you in House 24 too?

[voice]

[glassinine]

Er - good day, young man. I would recommend against making deals with the universe out loud; we can all rather hear what you are promising.

[voice]

[inmyothertights]

As far as deals I've made with the universe it's pretty benign, don't you think?

[centurybaby]

You don't remember, do you.

[inmyothertights]

....wow that's ominous.

TEXT.

[selfimage]

[oh Hel. it's not necessarily that Billy is here more than ... well, what this might imply for later problems. Kate has kept what had happened to herself, but he was skirting a dangerous tightrope with Billy's arrival and some things that would currently best be left un-visited. now, it's a toss-up.

so he vouches for text to avoid the obvious questions.]

Oh, you know what they say. Wrong turn at Albuquerque, maybe? There's quite a few of them to take a wrong turn at, anyway.

TEXT.

[inmyothertights]

[You little shit.]

Isn't one enough for anyone?

TEXT.

[selfequipped]

Loki.

[That's it. That's all she's saying.]

[beenwaitinglong]

Number 24. A rich, complex blend of multiple types of roasts, portraying a wide pallet of bitterness and acidity for the discerning tongue.

[Apologies in advance, Billy.]

[inmyothertights]

.............are you....drinking....my house?

[godly]

Dimension-hopping, of a sort. If no one's bothered to answer your question yet.

: video;

[inmyothertights]

Oh, man, yeah, thanks, I appreciate it.

voice;

[humanistic]

Is... dimension hopping something that consciously happens to you often enough to be accidental, or is this you asking in general.

[a beat.]

But they're telling us it is dimensions. Lucky guess.

voice;

[inmyothertights]

Not....usually?

voice;

[dissemble]

Making deals to get something you want requires a little more work than that.

[someone sounds amused.]

voice;

[inmyothertights]

I must have missed out on deal-making 101 in high school.

[prettyhotstuff]

24, huh. If you're making any stops on the way over, grab a few packs of smokes while you're at it.

[inmyothertights]

Don't smoke in the house.

.....please.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

But will you ever extrapolate on those reasons of paranoia?

voice;

[inmyothertights]

No.

[gevurah]

Don't listen to Chilton.

[ Pleasantly: ]

Hello, Billy. Take it easy.

[inmyothertights]

Chilton?

I'm guessing you don't mean Rory Gilmore's school in Gilmore Girls.

VOICE.

[retropolis]

[ That's a strangely disconcerting rant. ]

Why would you owe any of us an apology? Did you think you were responsible for all this?

VOICE.

[inmyothertights]

Maybe I just think I'm dreaming this. It's possible.

voice.

[glowsferatu]

[ he sounds so...unaware. which, as an occurrence, shouldn't be anything new. just calls for a stiff upper lip, he'll need a friendly welcome anyway, even if she's a stranger. ]

You could call it dimension-hopping, yes, though that generally implies the next one to be only another hop away. It will be more the frog than the pad, in this case.

Do you, um, have experience in that sort of thing? [ heropa could be disorienting to someone coming from the city, not everyone will think to mention that right out. ]

Re: voice.

[inmyothertights]

A.....little?

[premorse]

Careful who you make deals with.

[The poster sounds young. And talking about dimension-hopping so naturally can mean one of many things Hyperion's familiar with.]

You've done this before.

[inmyothertights]

This exactly? Sort of? No.

[nitidus]

[She isn't frivolous enough to let the words dimension hopping give her hope that he'll remember her, or Kanaya or The City. It's not a big deal, really. She can do the friendship thing over again. She has a concise list of pros and cons re: The Thing and The Hulk doing the do. She can make a believer of Billy Kaplan yet, no matter which version he is.

She hopes he still has the space leggings. Which, honestly, is kind of a silly thing to hope for, all things considered. ]

Florida does tend to cause paranoia, in my experience.

The only other time I've been here involved a lot of sweating but that was mostly the weather.

[liverletdie]

[ Oh great.

More teenagers. ]

See? The fact that you have to ask is one of the reasons why I hate magic.

voice

[inmyothertights]

Oh.

[It's you.]

Hello, Mr. Stark.

[attractedtodarkness]

What else would it be?

video

[inmyothertights]

Dreaming?

[Magic?]

[waywardspirit]

See, now I'm curious about what could possibly be worse than dimension-hopping. What's the paranoia for?

[inmyothertights]

......I don't think dreaming is cutting it as an excuse anymore.
