Joey's coming too, huh? And Slade?

...

Well how the hell should I react, mun? It's been way too long, and only Raven knows who I really am after Adstringendum. This is what I've been worried about since you started enabling everyone and their mother for this game. There's a reason I've been avoiding them, you know. They're all better off thinking what they've been thinking all along about me.

I can't just spring it on him that I've been alive after all these years, Rae. It's not right.

I know how weird that sounds coming from me, but there's a reason I abandoned my past life. I planned on living only for myself. Telling you in Adstringendum changed everything.

[feel_nevermore]

[She shakes her head.] I never suggested you did that. That'd be stupid.

But you two don't have to remain perfect strangers to each other. It's up to you anyway.

[umadrobin]

Considering Slade's gonna be there? It might not be such a bad idea to keep the mask on.

And then of course there's how Robin's gonna react if he finds out. I can see him blaming me for Slade very easily.

[feel_nevermore]

Of course. But remember you still had it on when we started getting to know each other. Joey doesn't have to know who you are to like you.

[A small smirk.] As long as you don't insist on keeping it on all the time when we're together... I think I can deal.

Also stop caring about what Slade and Robin will think. They don't have to find out.

[umadrobin]

I doubt that. I've got a reputation to keep, y'know.

[ He laughs at that. ] Just make sure the communicator is turned off when I do.

[ Linefacing at that next comment. ] Yeah. My mun decides to blow the lid off of it.

[feel_nevermore]

Oh, yes. Of course. How could I ever forget that?

[Her smirk widens at that.] I can do that.

Why would he do something like that knowing it'd hurt you? I know Muns sometimes enjoy torturing us but... that'd be pushing it a little, don't you think?

[umadrobin]

Come on, you have to know mine by now.

[feel_nevermore]

You're kidding, right? I'm not even sure to know mine sometimes.

[umadrobin]

You seem fine, though.

Something going on that I don't know about?

[feel_nevermore]

[A shrug.] She put me in a coma at Adstring. Nothing out of the ordinary, really. And far from the worst she can do.

[umadrobin]

I wish I was there. But at least we're here, now.

[feel_nevermore]

[A small smirk.] Somehow I have the hardest time imagining you in a male nurse outfit. But what do I know?

We are.

[umadrobin]

Only if you wear a maid outfit.

[feel_nevermore]

I'm the one in a coma here, mind you.

When you're sick, I'll wear the maid outfit. [...What? It's far from the worst outfit she's ever had to wear.]

[umadrobin]

As long as it's not a gym uniform from Mad Mod's school, I'll live.

[feel_nevermore]

Hmpf. [Glares at you. How does he even know about that?] It's impossible to look well in a gym uniform anyway.

[umadrobin]

Depends on the shorts.

[feel_nevermore]

If the T-shirt's oversized, the shorts don't matter much.

[Why are they even having this conversation?]

[umadrobin]

Good point.

I'll settle for a swim suit?

[feel_nevermore]

You might want to get a tan before you try it on.

[Watch her pretend the swimsuit's for you.]

[umadrobin]

... How would you even look with a tan?

[ Deflected attention away from himself. ]

[feel_nevermore]

Weird. Assuming my skin actually knows how to do that.

But you can tan. So it's alright.

[Nice try.]

[umadrobin]

You're not gonna let that go, are you?

Fine. But it's a private beach, and you're there with me. No one else.

[feel_nevermore]

[X... You're spoiling her. But she's certainly not about to complain about it.]

I wouldn't have it any other way.

[umadrobin]

[ Only because he knows what happens on private beaches between a guy and a girl. ]

Me neither.
