/dusts her off

[maces]

Yeah, a very funny subject line. What do you want from me? A witty line where I tell you mind the wings during your cleaning? Not happening. [:|]

This is the part-- in theory-- where I tell you that this is a bad idea, and you're better off not picking me up again for whatever reason I see fit to spew out at this moment. Also not happening.

I'm aware that you've been complaining about missing me for ages now, so either do something with that, or not. It's your call. We've been at this long enough for me to know when nagging won't help. You're not a child, so you take responsibility for your actions, whatever they are.

Now get off your keister, and do whatever the heck is next for me.

... I seriously said "keister", didn't I? Who am I, Clark?

At least you're able to step up and tell her who's boss. Hope she listens.

[maces]

It's not hard. And thanks, but that's not up to me.

[fanstheflame]

It's never up to us, is it ... there's always someone trying to pull our strings. The only things that change are the stakes.

[maces]

[...] You've got issues, don't you?

[fanstheflame]

[whole subscriptions, Shayera. SUBSCRIPTIONS.] Maybe a few? But that's what happens when the government spies on your every move to make sure you're not treasonous, and picks 24 people every year at random to fight each other to the death.

[yeah, bitter, just a bit]

[maces]

All you needed to say was yes.

[fanstheflame]

[he'll just ... raise an eyebrow] You one of those people that think the young should be seen and not heard, or something?

[maces]

I'm one of those people that doesn't want to hear a life story every time I meet someone new.

[fanstheflame]

Okay, fine. I can give you that. ... So what do you do? Or is that off your conversation list, too?

[maces]

I freelance. [~Vague~]

[fanstheflame]

Must be nice. [he says it earnestly, no anger] Easier to do what you like.

[ontheclockpro]

I'd say something worse. I don't remember Boy Scout saying anything that bad.

[maces]

Shove it, ponytail. [SHE'S MISSED YOU, MAN!]

[ontheclockpro]

Ponytail? You wound me, Shayera. I thought you could make worse nicknames than that.

[HE MISSED YOU TOO, WINGS]

[maces]

I'd finally gotten your hideous face seared from memory before you popped back up. It'll take a bit for me to get over the initial shock of 'oh crap what is this.'

[ontheclockpro]

[he laughs] I can understand that~

But Paradisa huh? It's been a long time...

[maces]

No one said anything about that, Reno. [Mockity mock mock.]

[ontheclockpro]

Oh. So somewhere else then?

[maces]

[She snorts.] Nah. Give it a few days, and she might have started on something resembling an application.

[ontheclockpro]

Heh. That's how they are.

They could use you there, I can see that.

[maces]

They're that desperate, huh?

[ontheclockpro]

Of course~

Are you surprised?

I absolutely love Shayera

[cassie_of_troy]

You have...

...wings.

[timeshare_batwoman]

Hawkgirl. It's like a history lesson over here.

I remember you!

[fasterthan]

Hey, Shayera! Haven't seen you around in a while!
