Okay, fine.

Maybe I will start getting back in the game.

And I mean more than just rescuing kittens out of trees, although the one time I did that I ended up getting clawed in the face.

So enough for this sitting in my room and avoiding thing that I was starting to do, instead, here I am.

I'm going to start like this:

Hey, Loki, lets talk.

Comments

[transuniversal]

Billy. Kate said you were here.

[Already anticipating Loki's going to give him crap for showing up.

AND HERE FIRST.]

1/2

[inmyothertights]

[Pause.

Pause.

Wait for it.

Wait for it.]

[inmyothertights]

.....Marvel Boy?

[What.]

Man, I stop checking my messages for like two days-

[Billy it has been longer than two days.]

[selfequipped]

He hasn't really made himself known except for in a few places.

[Annoying places.]

[transuniversal]

It's Noh-Varr.

[Please can it just be Noh-Varr.]

I've been here for about two weeks.

[selfequipped]

Should I come over? I've been busy, and I know how you need space, so—

[Which is nothing new. Kate's always been there for Billy, but she also doesn't make a habit of sitting down and doing nothing in the meantime.

The fact that he's willing to go to Loki is good.

But Kate still wants to supervise.]

[inmyothertights]

I kind of probably owe you an apology, right? For just disappearing like that.

[He has been a Bad Friend in a lot of ways because he really should be over this.]

I mean I shaved and everything so I don't look like a homeless person anymore.

[selfequipped]

If I said I'm used to it, would that help? [She doesn't think it'll help, but Billy minus Teddy is always a bad recipe.]

But let me know if you need a firmer hand to keep this from happening again. It's always available.

[xpostate]

[ okay, so. aside from the fact that laurie's alive, billy's here. and pretty much everyone else, too. staying quiet and laying low seem like bad ideas at this point, and would only be overly ironic after hearing billy make this point.

might as well risk a hello. ]

Just how long have you been here? I know how you guys feel about being in the game, but seems like there'd be bigger things to figure out. Or at least figure out why there's so much trouble figuring them out.

[inmyothertights]

Three months? Four? No, definitely three.

There's a lot of weird interference.

[xpostate]

So it's, what, a magical barrier of some kind? But something beyond what you've been able to unweave. [ wait, scratch that. ] Something beyond what both you and Loki have been unable to unweave.

Gotta be some pretty heavy magic, then. But it also has to be coming from somewhere.

[selfimage]

As long as we're extending the Q & A, how long have you been here?

[xpostate]

A day or two. Didn't realize you guys were around.

[selfequipped]

Well, look at us. We have an actual team gathered here now.

[xpostate]

Just us five, or has anyone else not spoken up? Guessing I have a game of catch up to play.

[selfimage]

Ah—you've decided.

Well then, all distractions aside, we'll have to run a midichlorian count before we get down to the nitty gritty.

[inmyothertights]

Why would you do that? Bring that up? What have I really ever done to you?

[selfimage]

I thought the reminder that movies themselves exist would be your first major test.

[voice]

[glassinine]

I suppose I must inquire precisely what it is you mean by "back in the game."

[voice]

[inmyothertights]

You know.

Once more...heroing it up.

[voice]

[glassinine]

Hm. How old are you?

[huntergames]

[ The name printed on her communicator says Billy, which garners Sasha's undivided attention for once. She's fairly certain one of her housemates is name Billy and she hasn't seen him around since she arrived. ]

They make us get cats out of trees?

[inmyothertights]

It's....a stereotype?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Billy.

[Cautious, careful tone.]

Is this something you'd like to discuss?

[inmyothertights]

You mean crippling depression?

Hey, Doctor Chilton.
