[violetnce]

[Hello, everyone, here's your resident Psylocke -- or Betsy, or Bets, or whatever you call her -- back in action.]

Oh, bloody hell. This isn't what I meant when I was sending some friends to the astral plane to do some work. But I suppose one can't be surprised when it comes to the multiverse.

[Despite her words, she doesn't sound all that mad to be here, if the lack of anger in her Maldon accent isn't enough of a clue. Hair and irises as violet as ever, Betsy appears to be sunbathing on a rooftop, wearing grey short-shorts, and a violet sports bra.

Her phone is, of course, being levitated a few inches above her by her telekinesis.]

Anyway, enough of that nonsense -- [worrying about the Shadow King back in her world isn't going to do her any good in this one, now, is it?] -- who wants to fill me in on all the good bar fights I missed, or other interesting events of the past few months? It seems as though I was absent from this world for somewhere in the range of two and a half months, give or take some weeks. Last I remember, it was cold here.

Welcome back, Miss Braddock. You've been missed.

[There, have a weary but happy looking Bruce Banner, Betsy. Who is smiling, for real, at seeing you.]

[violetnce]

I'm sure it fell apart without me. [Joking, and said with a smile in return.]

How are you?

[monsterdoc]

Oh, something like that. I am... alive. Again. And married. Which is very nice and a good turn from home.

[violetnce]

Oh? Both of those sound like major upgrades from home - even though home doesn't set a very high bar for what's 'good', those still pass it by a long shot regardless.

[monsterdoc]

Very much so. True facts. We should talk again, here, soon, in person maybe. How are you? [ He smiles, a warm thing, for her. ]

[violetnce]

Name the time and place, and I'm there. As for me ... same shit, different day, you know. I'd say except for the part where I was ported back in here, but I think I should be saying especially that part.

[monsterdoc]

At least it's quieter here... most of the time.

Sometimes.

[violetnce]

Did I miss a lot of'fun'? Because I might be sorry I missed a chance to kick some ass.

[monsterdoc]

Here, not a lot. I was gone for a bit as well. There were doppelgangers.

[ He makes a face. There are always doppelgangers. ]

[violetnce]

Damn, I would have liked to tell mine that it didn't capture my looks well enough. [she's a troll sometimes like that.]

[monsterdoc]

Hah! [ He chuckles. ] I didn't have one. Which I am glad of. It would probably have been the good twin.

[violetnce]

I'm sure some would argue that. The fake ones are always the trouble makers anyway.

[monsterdoc]

Not always.

My alternates tend to surprise people.

[violetnce]

Fair enough, I suppose. Mine are asshats.

[monsterdoc]

I prefer you as you are, thanks.

[violetnce]

That makes two of us. Anyone else from our side of the universe decide to show up while I was gone?

[monsterdoc]

Doom was here, but I think he vanished again.

[violetnce]

Oh — did you get to dropkick him back into the porter? [Not that... that's how that works but ssssh. Heh.

A short pause.]

Because if you didn't, I definitely would have.

[monsterdoc]

I wish I had. But I have to be cautious again. So... I refrained, barely.

[violetnce]

Well, that's shit; I'll put that under the list of 'injustices that still exist in this world'. [for real though.]

That and 'Americans Still Think They Know How To Make A Proper Beer'.

[look @ this british saltiness.]

[monsterdoc]

Thanks. I appreciate that. Heh. [ Some smirking, and some challenge in his eyes. ] I know how to make a beer that will knock your socks off.

[violetnce]

First off, I mean Americans who don't have, you know, fifty-thousand advanced degrees in every academic field. [She partially holds back a smile.] Secondly, I can't believe you've been holding out on me, but I bet I'll still be standing after. [famous last words, probably. challenge doubly accepted, though; is that how this works??]

[monsterdoc]

Heh.

[ His smirk grows. ] Give me a week, and you can come by and have dinner and beer at our house. That way, if you don't end up still standing, you can use the guest room.

[ Challenges accepted and returned. ]

[violetnce]

A week sounds good. Where's this?

[monsterdoc]

Maurtia Falls, at [address].
