actual squalling infant stretches his legs

[crownless]

You remember I exist yet?

[travis you were the one who wanted to quit but ok.]

First you give me, like, four months of total radio silence, and now that you're saying you miss me, you're still not gonna play me? I got places to go and people to kill, lady, this bullshit gainful employment that you got is really screwing with my schedule.

[a beat.]

Man, this fucking sucks.

Such a shame. The world seems to be in dire need of your little protag antics right about now.

[crownless]

Hell yeah it is. The world can't live off the off-brand Touchdown forever, can it?

[ooooooo]

[ishotyouuu]

Sounds like a few exes I could name.

It's too bad you can't kick her to the curb and go solo, Trav. Would probably work out for ya in the long run.

[A self-insert Travis in an RP would be terrible and hilarious all at once.]

Least you're not gettin' starved and tortured on the regular, though. You got that goin' for you, at least.

[handsomefoil]

Correction, I'm not a Touchdown to begin with- I am a brand all on its own, thank you very much.

[crownless]

[what do you know-- it's the guy he most wanted to see again, AND the guy he was hoping he'd never see again. How awkward a disappearance was that, again?]

Wade.

[an uncomfortable pause. well. you know what, fuck it.]

Maybe we should just ditch this place altogether. You wanna bust out of here with me?

[crownless]

Except you technically are. Unless I imagined that we were brothers?

[fistfighting]

You're better off being shelved. [ she is currently side eyeing the convo above with gay boyfriend ]

[furere]

Cry, bitch, moan. Just accept you're a discarded toy and shut up.

[ishotyouuu]

[A harsh, involuntary laugh. Seeing Travis again is as mixed a bag for him as it probably is for Travis. It's hard for him to decide on what to feel, but right now his heart feels as though it's going to burst out of his chest. So, of course, he settles on just being glib.]

Hate to tell you this, Trav-- then again, maybe I don't-- but Haven's been kaput for near on a month now.

...Unless of course you mean this whole place-- [he indicates all of Dreamwidth with a sweeping gesture]-- in which case... I'm pretty sure Marvel's looking for new blood if you can get dear old dad on the phone to sign over the rights.

[crownless]

[wow dont judge sis]

Unlike some people I don't have the luxury of being shelved and dead at the same time.

[crownless]

Fuck off, Dannyboy. Ain't like you're getting any more action than I am, either.

[rippedoff]

Y'know, if you keep being quiet, I might just become the main character yet.

[In our dreams, maybe. Regardless, Shinobu smirks as she continues.]

Maybe you need to play hard-to-get.

[handsomefoil]

Don't forget- you're my little baby brother, so technically, it would make you the off-brand Cooldown as well, wouldn't it?

[furere]

I'm just saying, when you expect nothing and get something, it's a lot more rewarding. [plus his sole mission in life is to just be a thorn in coyote's ass, so same-old same-old]

[crownless]

Hey! We were Touchdowns before you were a Cooldown! Don't forget that your dumb last name got retconned in later!

[crownless]

So-- so you mean, I'm--

[On ice. Shoved into the asscrack of the deep freeze. At least that vampire fucker is gone, too, but it's a sobering thought, realizing that he's really and truly stored away back in Haven.]

Well, fuck. [he's aiming for some levity here. unfortunately, it's just not happening.]

Suda's hurting for cash, probably. [Travis grins weakly.] Maybe if he forks me over to your bosses we'll get a crossover, yeah?

[handsomefoil]

Oh, let's not get started on what's considered a "dumb" last names, Mister Touchdown. And it's not like you have any actual proof that it was retconned, do you?

[crownless]

[dan is going for the gold by being a thorn in everybody's ass then, chase ur dreams dannyboy]

What about when you expect shit and get even more shit, huh?

[crownless]

[STARES AT MUN]

Don't make this crazy bitch dig up links, 'cause she will.

[tfw u have been in this fandom long enough to literally remember the 'cooldown' announcement]

[crownless]

I'm still gonna be the coolest, but I'm not gonna lie-- seeing you doing your own thing would be pretty sweet, Shinobu.

And I've done that, but she still won't bite. I dunno what gives.

[ishotyouuu]

If luck's on our side, yeah. Hopefully they won't mess with your backstory as much as they did with mine. Also here's hopin' it's a co-op-- it's the only way two overpowered protags can get equal screentime.

[It's better to focus on the lighter part of this conversation because it means that he doesn't have to think about the implications of Haven being gone. But as painful as it is, he can't keep his mouth shut about it for long.]

Yeah. You're... whatever that euphemism was gonna be. You've been it for a while, actually.

[handsomefoil]

[ngl i didnt know it was retconned and just thought it was something they didnt bother releasing into the game ahurhurhruhur]

Well, at least yours does her homework. Mine's not too bright, you see.

[BEING HIS MUN IS SUFFERING it works both ways in this case]

[crownless]

[He's trying really hard to keep it from getting serious. That's not enough, apparently.]

... You keeping my beam katanas in working order, man?

I don't care if I'm rusting over, but I paid good money for those things. Use 'em for me.

[hasitsthorns]

Muns are fickle like that, unfortunately. Suddenly they get a job and their 'priorities' change and you're old news.

Sorry, dude. At least you're still rattling around in that headspace though and not retired or something. Now that's the pits.

[diosauria]

Oh, shut up already. Do you think that's something that just applies to you?
