omg boredom makes me do things

[chickendancing]

Well, well. Well. 

What do we have here? Oh. OK. So you rewatched a couple of episodes and now it's all: "hey, GOB!! Let's do stuff!!"

Well, I'm afraid that's not how it works, friend. You're gonna have to do better than that.

That seems to be how it works for a few people here. At least, that's how my mun created me. So you're not alone.

[chickendancing]

Don't they realize we've got better things we could be doing?

[ like he could be practising his new magic act right now! gosh. muns, so insensitive. ]

I mean, come on, right? Right?

[carlavaleri]

[Chuckles softly.]

My canon just had my best friend's house blown up by a rocket launcher, so I may actually be better off here. And honestly, he needs someone to keep him out of trouble.

[She extends a well-manicured hand.]

I'm Carla.

[chickendancing]

A rocket launcher? Holy shit.

[ he shakes her hand briefly. ]

GOB. You've probably heard of me.

[carlavaleri]

You're a magician? I haven't seen a magician in years.

[Former CIA agents don't get a lot of social time.]

[chickendancing]

So you have heard of me!

[ he positively beams. he's famous! wait until michael hears about this. ]

I am! Alliance approved, in fact. Well, formerly. It's a whole... thing.

[carlavaleri]

That must be a lot of fun. Do you get to do a lot of traveling?

[chickendancing]

[ oh wow. so much nervous laughter. ]

Do I-- Do I do a lot of travelling? Uh, duh! I mean, come-- come on! Would I be a real magician if I didn't?

[ liar, liar. ]

[carlavaleri]

Well, some of them have residencies in certain places.

My job keeps me pretty close to my office.

[Except for that time French intelligence kidnapped her and used her as a hostage. That.]

[chickendancing]

Oh, yeah? What do you do?

[ color him mildly interested. as he chews on a bag of candy beans he found in his pocket. ]

[carlavaleri]

I work as the agent for my best friend. Negotiating his contracts, keeping his schedule.

[chickendancing]

Agent? [ oh no. ] Are you-- Are you in the FBI?

[ he probably shouldn't be talking to any feds. not with the trouble his family's in. ]

[carlavaleri]

[She laughs.]

No, professional agent. I interact with his clients, make sure he has what he needs to complete his work. Don't you have one of those?
