Comments

[resleeves]

is the bar still standing?

[motivation]

for now, there's even still a drink or two left

[resleeves]

you know, some would call that avoiding the issue.
not me.
fuckin' drink till your liver dies.
deserved after that.
is this the train to go help a bunch of people?
the one that i didn't choose to go on?

[motivation]

that's the one
and my liver can handle it

[resleeves]

hey, i wasn't doubting you.
i think every time i've seen you, you've been drinking.
it's pretty impressive actually.
sign of a good person, that kind of alcohol tolerance.

private forever

[retravel]

Good. I’m glad you made it.

[ after everything, it had felt strange to wake up far away from him. Wrong. ]

private to markus only.
Sorry for the delay. And the concessions.

[ in “negotiating” with Cain. ]

Are you alright? Promise I’ll be with you soon.

[motivation]

trying to sweet talk me?

[saviorexe]

I’m fine.

[How many times will Fitz hear that in their term of their friendship? Start the tally now. At least he gives an addendum:]

Waking up was miserable, but everything’s functional, nothing’s broken. And don’t apologize; you got Cain to agree, and that’s all that matters.

I’m more worried about you. Do you need me over right now? For anything?

private forever;

[saviorexe]

Nothing that specifically related to my want to visit New Tokyo, if that’s what you mean. As much as I wanted to initially aid the relief effort, my obligations were back in New Amsterdam, seeing to the safehouses. That wasn’t going to change.

[As far as he knows.]

[covertness]

yeah, it's the same for me
and now we're here

how are you holding up?

[ she's been meaning to ask that for a while now ]

[resleeves]

please.
you might not know me well but you should know i don't do that.
i'm not sweet.
why, you hoping for some sweet nothings to soothe you?

[saviorexe]

Purposeful, you think? Or the consequence of something we did in the dreaming world?

I’ll be fine. Waking up was jarring; phantom pains from injuries while we were dreaming, but it’s better now. What about you? How’d you fare in that place?

[lighthearted]

I think it has to be more than that. Something pulled us into those dreams, I think. Which means someone pulled us out too.

[lighthearted]

[ Who goes to who doesn't make much difference to Sora, but it seems to matter to Cain, so... ]

That's fine.

[ He sends over a picture of his car number. ]

[warfares]

The news channels might be able to offer some insight into the larger, global shifts.

As to the other, more personal shifts perhaps it's time we consider reviving those monthly meet-ups. Sooner rather than later.

[warfares]

Practical.

[ fixed that for you. ]

Where the beasts go, answers tend to follow.

[ and he also really enjoys punching things. ]

[deicider]

That's disconcerting.

So is the blizzard in New Tokyo.

[reneger]

yeah
it was shit

[reneger]

( they're all having a terrible day. jason's slumped over forward, an empty glass in front of him and absolutely nothing else. the dreams were--well. only the rare few were as bad as his usual dreams but there's a reason he avoids REM sleep as much as is possible for his body to withstand.

jason turns to face cain, purses his lips. )

Yo. Fancy meeting you here.

[reneger]

you do that

( not that jason'll find him that way. but some guy raising his hand waiting for someone to find him is funny as shit. )

[reneger]

sharing is caring

[resleeves]

[ he does put his hand in the air but there's a middle finger attached. his own personal touch and his feelings on this fucking train in general. ]

hope that helps, junior.

[stabilis]

Honestly? I've been to towns where petty theft and drunken squabbles qualify as official love languages. Were you headed to New Tokyo on purpose?

[stabilis]

Have you met us?

[ exceptionally unlucky seems to be the only thing the displaced have in common. ]

Same as everyone else. But if you think relocation and overnight bags are freaky, you're really gonna love the news.

private

[stabilis]

Little bit. Didn't want to confuse the less cool kids.

[ see also: anybody who doesn't already know Dutch. ]

Want me to stick to Dutch?
