On being stuck at nexus_sages

[brave_heart_verity]

Yes, yes, I know you want me to meet the tree, but will you please let me go home sometimes? Or at least get Clint to stop following me around? You are encouraging his mun and you know it.

And no, I do not need Loki to come save me.
I can't believe I had to say that. I really need to reconsider my life choices.

"I am Groot?"

[brave_heart_verity]

Yyyep. And you're doing an excellent job of it, I'm sure.

[i_amgroot]

Groot smiles. "I am Groot!"

[brave_heart_verity]

I'm sure your advice is excellent, too, yes.

[i_amgroot]

"I am Groot..."

[brave_heart_verity]

I wouldn't even know where to start looking for a raccoon in Manhattan. Sorry.

[i_amgroot]

Slightly leafy shoulders shrug. "I am Groot."

[brave_heart_verity]

I'm sure he will.

[i_amgroot]

"I am Groot?"

[brave_heart_verity]

Sure, but we better keep him and Loki apart. They'd egg each other on too much if they hung out.

[i_amgroot]

Groot groans, sinking to sit, elbows on knees, head in hands, at the very idea. "I am Groooooot..."

[brave_heart_verity]

Yeah. [Somewhat awkward shoulder pats of comfort.] It'll be okay. That place is magic, remember?

[i_amgroot]

"I am Groot," he concedes, and is comforted.

[conner_el]

Yeaaaah, muns do that a lot.

[Kon shrugs.]

[brave_heart_verity]

You don't even know. It's so much worse when they're married. So. Much. Worse.

[conner_el]

I might. My mun and his girlfriend do pretty much the exact same thing. Though, y'know, not in the same ballpark.

[Not that he usually has reason to complain or anything, but he feels where she's coming from.]

[brave_heart_verity]

Okay, then maybe you do. Sorry.

[conner_el]

It's all good.

I'm Kon, by the way. Probably heading to the same place as soon as my mun gets off vacation mode, so nice to see someone else in the same boat, I guess?

[brave_heart_verity]

I'm Verity. Yes, it's a "Meaningful Name". You're coming to the Nexus?

Oh good, now she's squealing.

[conner_el]

Yep. Ran into Ravager, her mun got to talking to mine, enabling happens ... you know how it goes.

[brave_heart_verity]

I do indeed. I think we all do.

[conner_el]

Because enabling makes the world go round.

[It really, really does.]

And now he's trying to talk other people into coming in too, so who knows, might be a whole lot more newbies.

Nnnnnooot that I really know what I'm getting into, but ...

[brave_heart_verity]

Eh... mostly it's a lot of talking. Hawkeye and I took Namor out for bagels for world peace or something.

I'm told it'll get crazy later though.

[conner_el]

Yeah, but bagels for world peace is kinda out there when you stop and think about it. Just saying.

And of course it's gonna get crazy. It's half the fun.

[brave_heart_verity]

...true. But I'm the chick who is besties with the god of lies I met at speed dating. My life's been kinda weird for a while now.
