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.

[scopeblindness]

For however long that lasts. [Everything goes back to Blood Gulch.]

Say, what's with all the questions?

[articletwelve]

Not long enough.

[ There's still some guilt there, though he doesn't let it linger. Bitching at Church is easier. ]

What, now I can't ask questions?

[scopeblindness]

You can, but that's all you've been doing really. Makes people wonder what you're wanting.

[Welcome to the no-touchy-feely crap zone. Bitch away.]

[articletwelve]

Well it wasn't because I missed listening to you complain about nothing.

[scopeblindness]

That, really doesn't tell me much.

[articletwelve]

You'll get used to it.

[ No, really. ]

[scopeblindness]

That implies sticking around.

Not something I plan on doing.

[articletwelve]

...Yeah, I've noticed.

[ Between canon and the games he's been in... welp. ]

But around here, you don't always get a choice.

[scopeblindness]

I can wait her out. [Maybe.]

[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.

[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.
