New muse...? No idea as to when he's from.

[scopeblindness]

Hey you, yes you. Who else would I be talking to?

You have no idea what the fuck you're doing, do you?

Yeah, that was a rhetorical question. I don't need to hear an answer. [It's not like he couldn't guess.] In fact, feel free to leave me alone — more excitement is the last thing I need in my life.

[ dryyyy ]

Do you ever know what you're doing?

[scopeblindness]

[Yes. No. Yes. ARGH. Sometimes, but it never really works.]

Shut up. You're not helping.

[articletwelve]

I think you're past help.

[scopeblindness]

Gee, thanks for the update.

It's not as if we've known each other a long time, so don't be so sure about that.

[articletwelve]

[ Ah. That. ]

...Right. Guess this is the part where I ask what you remember.

[ The woes of being from late canon. And not dying. ]

He's early - mid season 6... not sure which episode yet.

[scopeblindness]

I can start with how you showed up and interrupted the quietest stretch of service I ever had.

[14 months of pure boredom, oh bliss. If you're ignoring the boredom.]

s'all good! wash here is usually end-of-s8 or blueteamwash.

[articletwelve]

...Do you miss it?

[ Genuine question, because he knows that all the shit that ended up going down wasn't exactly pleasant, and he's had a long time to think things over. ]

[scopeblindness]

Do I miss sitting around with nothing but dust bunnies to talk to? No.

The not getting shot at part? Hell, yeah.

[He shrugs.] Things were simpler.

[articletwelve]

...Yeah. Yeah, they were.

[ That pretty much sums it up. ]

Things change.

[likeahex]

If it were that easy to get rid of them, we'd all be a lot happier by now.

[scopeblindness]

[Give him a moment here, will you Tex? He... hasn't seen you in a while.

Okay. Moment over.]

I don't need to get rid of them, just to make them leave me alone.

[likeahex]

[Oh Church.]

Also impossible.

They have any plans for you yet?

[scopeblindness]

In that case, I don't really see much of a difference from how things usually are.

Nothing besides the occasional meme, and whoever happens to show up here. They've been listening to every piece of music related to the canon, mostly.

[likeahex]

There isn't really. Annoying people who won't listen. It's like Caboose. Only less stupid....slightly.

Sounds fun. Guess I'll see you around then. I'm stuck in some 1950's town but the mun likes to throw me on memes and this place too.

[scopeblindness]

What an achievement, I would offer my congratulations, but it's not like it's very hard to be.

Maybe, I'm actually on the fence on that. I've gotten used to sitting around and not doing anything.

The 1950s... that's the place with the crazy A.I. right? Epsilon.

[likeahex]

Nah, it's just me there. Caboose was there for a while. But that's about it.

[scopeblindness]

They'd mentioned apping into something similar, might not have happened yet.

Caboose, how'd that go? [Also his indirect way of asking how is she, but hey, she can handle herself.]

Actually... I don't want to know.

[fearmylaserface]

Good luck with that. Really.

I've been trying to sweet talk my mun into leaving me alone, and telling her she can't handle my awesomeness. She listens as well as Caboose.

[scopeblindness]

The world can't handle more than one Caboose.

[fearmylaserface]

I didn't say she was Caboose. I said she listens like he does. Which is not at all.

See the fact that she still wants to put me somewhere.

How is it with yours?

[scopeblindness]

Oh wow, that's some improvement.

Really? Even though you're a floating ball-thing who really can't do much.

Mine prefers the casual thread and memes, though she has played in games before. They don't tend to stick.

Mostly, she digging through as much info about the canon as she can. Me? I'm a side product.

[fearmylaserface]

Not really.

The game she's looking at, I'd be stuck as a human. Not this. Which sucks. Humans don't have a laser face.

Sounds better than mine does, at any rate. You're lucky.

And lucky you. I'm the current whim of the moment.

[scopeblindness]

The sarcasm really isn't translating well.

It isn't all bad, being human. You could get a laser pointer, even if, it wouldn't be as cool.

Not counting on it, her tastes run towards the morbid.

Yeah, that isn't great. At least I have other people to distract her with.

[fearmylaserface]

Sometimes it doesn't.

You can't kill someone with a laser pointer. But I'd get to see Tex...

... Mine really enjoys character torture. So I think we may be even.

Mine's got a few others to distract her. There's even a Spartan in here.

[scopeblindness]

Not directly. [Not that he'd been thinking up ways to do that, what? He shares headspace with cats.]

Seeing her again would be nice, in those circumstances though? I don't know.

They all do, to some extent. It's the preferences that makes all the difference.

Does she play favorites too?
