[Okay so this tech? Rad as all hell. He has no idea how it works, how it's so slim lined and tiny, where the batteries go or why he even has it but it's so bitching, he's not even gonna protest it. His now. No backsies. Ever.

He doesn't quite get what's happening and he doesn't quite care so mostly, he's just looking to reach out. Communicate. Make friends. Maybe even a love connection cause, you know, yolo. Stranger things have happened. The video is on him and yes, he's rocking an awful outfit of blue and yellow and yes, he doesn't pull it off at all. Does he care? Naaaah. He grins an obnoxious grin that will kind of make you want to punch his little gremlin face in.

He decides to go with a time tested and flawless way to both express his interest in all these glorious people, all at once, and convey the right depth and emotions required for a first intro.]

Wazzzzzzzzup?!

[Nailed it, yo.]

This place is so dope! This is the Trickster comin' atcha and I am delighted to be here. How are you beautiful people?

Amusement park. I get to guess like weight and stuff, I don't even know man, it sounds hella dull but yo, you know, I can totes score us food there.

[By stealing it. Stealing from work is a proud and noble tradition in his little world.]

[lovestoys]

[There's a reluctant sigh. Ah well, can't win 'em all.]

If you're ever looking some more and hey, more intense, excitement then girl, you so gotta hit me up.

[lovestoys]

Yeah. Means you're being a dick and trash talking me.

[lovestoys]

Nah, bro, I'm Central City. Why do you think I roll with the rogues? We're all like one big family.

[They're totally his crime dads. His crime dads who so never wanted him and wish to ditch him. But no family is perfect!]

[lovestoys]

... Wait, what?

Woah, woah, woah.

This is getting more interesting. Gimme full deets. Raptors were where exactly?

stubbornly sticks to voice forever.

[tardily]

Pretty sure he had those dibs before you even dreamed of having those dibs.

[ There's no such thing as sacred law of dibs. ] As a friend of James and as someone who's had to fight with him. Against him, I kind of can. You know, being the Trickster means having the same enemy.

[beneathbluerafters]

Alright, I admit that was a bit much. But you did call me a dork first.

[airshow]

That'll never work. It'll only escalate the situation. Trust me, I'm an expert at that.

[helpline]

Right, you can buy us food with your paycheck.

[airshow]

Smart.

[ a pause. ]

He's gonna think he's a Rogue, though. I mean, he already does.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Serious? But a second ago you said I was dumb and not cool. You're just gonna change your mind like that?

[foreshadower]

My boy, who lied to you and told you that you had a better costume?

[ The Shade of it all ]

[guruofspeed]

You really think he'd be that desperate for attention?

[pyrogue]

[ Well that's… Weird. The punk doesn't appear to be lying either. And definitely unsettling. He once again has the impression that he's missing something. ]

I've no clue what you're babbling about.

[ He sighs at the implication. That rules out Axel being from that universe, anyway. ]

No. [ Beat. ] You think he's hot?

[itistolaugh]

Don't worry. I still prefer original flavor.

[itistolaugh]

Well, at least your eyes work.

[ But she sounds less irritated than she did a few seconds ago. How dare he be so accurate about her hotness. ]

[mostlysunny]

Okay.

[As neutral as possible. Because really, wow. But then there's a glimmer of hope, there's a question. Which she answers automatically, and it probably isn't at all what he meant.]

Oh, I get hit all the time, but I'm usually the one walking away. ...er, or, um. How about me what?

[trigeminalheadache]

[ Of course, one last try from him. Of course. ]

I will certainly keep that in mind.

[socialactivillain]

It was never about the lapdances.

[socialactivillain]

Stalking might be an improvement over educating me on the finer points of why "homos should get lapdances too".

[ He holds up his comm so James can see. Why, Axel, why. ]

[airshow]

Uh, yes? Obviously? "Desperate for attention" is kind of the Rogue motto.

[airshow]

Considering letting Cold handle it and washing my hands of the whole thing.

[airshow]

Yeah, I noticed that. What do you think we should do?

[airshow]

Sorry, third grader. I'm bad at kid ages.

[airshow]

I'm definitely overselling it. You ever been to hell, kiddo? It's not a picnic.
