Considering Fractured Reality

[imjustpretty]

Here we go again, eh? Moment you dropped me, I'm on the shelf, but now you wanna relive your glory days, I'm being dragged out again. Classy, lady, very classy.

Oh, come on. Don't gimme that about me being a "game character" or some bullshit. You're fine playing all the other guys and gals without putting them in a game. Why's it different for me?

That's clever. That's very clever. I need a structure, do I? I'll show you structure. I swear, if you put me on another boat with a bunch of criminal maniacs, I'm going on a hunger strike. I mean it. You just watch me.

I doubt that's likely, Ray. Even so, no hunger striking. Please.

[imjustpretty]

Howie. [Right. Yes. Whoa. Blast from the past.] How's—things?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

They're fine, Ray. Don't worry about that.

How're you? And... I'm sorry for whatever you end up having inflicted on you.

[imjustpretty]

I— yeah, I'm— [No. This is too weird.] Wait. I will—you're not still on that ship, are you?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

No. Thank God.

[imjustpretty]

Right. Right. Hey. [A grin.] That's good, right? D'you get to go back to, y'know. [A gesture. Wherever it was you came from. Sheepland. He may not remember your story all that well, Howie. Sorry.]

[canbedeceitful]

A boat full of criminal maniacs is the best kind of party.

[imjustpretty]

I take it you've never been there.

[canbedeceitful]

I've experienced similar outings, but never on a boat. It's something to consider.

[imjustpretty]

Well, lady, consider it all you want. I've done it, and I'm not doing it again.

[darknessb4me]

You.

[imjustpretty]

[. . . oh crap.]

Why are you still alive?

[evilbystatute]

[A JOKE AND RUN. SORRY]

I don't think he ever was alive.

[imjustpretty]

What? Who the hell're you? [RAY NEVER MET YOU, DR HIX. And he doesn't appreciate smartasses.]

[evilbystatute]

Friend of Arthas'. Make of that what you will.

[imjustpretty]

Friend? The guy has friends?

[darknessb4me]

I'm not.

[imjustpretty]

[. . . sigh. He'll pinch the bridge of his nose.] I have not missed this.

[He looks up.] So. You still hanging on the good ol' Barge, then?

[darknessb4me]

I don't care.

Yes.

[imjustpretty]

Wow, man. You need a change of scenery. And I'm sure they do, too.

[some_go_mad]

[Will just be grinning in a corner. >:D]

[imjustpretty]

[You know, he was just thinking that at least one particular maniac is staying away, when he spots you in a corner. That'll make him jump just about a mile. HOLY SHIT. And then he's going to pretend he didn't see you. DIDN'T SEE YOU, he's over here. Over here talking to Howie LEAVE HIM ALONE.]

[some_go_mad]

Hello. [Smirking so hard. He's scaring you~]

[imjustpretty]

What? [Yes, you are.] I don't know you. Who are you? I've no idea who you are.

[He didn't bring his gun. Why the fuck did he not bring his gun?]

[some_go_mad]

Aw. [Melodramatic sadface!] It's the face. I have that sort of face. [Grins and phases in and out of transparency.] Easy to forget.
