thinking of asgardeventide and other bad life decisions at 2 a.m.

[swedge]

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great you feel so strongly about bringing me out into the world because we all know how much I like being cooped up... But let's think about this for a minute.

You are in three games. Four characters. You're leaving for a two week vacation relatively soon. You're in the middle of summer and you can barely keep up. And you want to add me to one of your faster paced games? [Jo is not amused.]

I like being in the action, really, but not if you're just going to ignore me. I have things to do and you haven't even completely finished the series yet.

Maybe you should get some sleep instead of embarrassing yourself even more. [Eye roll.]

[pontiac]

I'm starting to think they're all hard pressed for time.

[swedge]

Then why even bother?

[pontiac]

Something about creative outlets and exploring new avenues.

[swedge]

If they're already having a hard time managing their time, adding more to their play is going to help.

[pontiac]

Of course it isn't, but what they do and rational isn't really cohesive.

Or so I've noticed.

[swedge]

[She crosses her arms.]

Maybe I just won't let it happen. I'll make her drop someone else, or something.

[pontiac]

Yeah, good luck with that. They get attached to people like us. It's weird, and a little invasive.

But what can you really expect from the whole puppet routine?

[swedge]

A little?

[She is not at all okay with any of this.]

It's a little sickening. Just the thought of it. But at the same time, there's no other option if I want to be around.

[pontiac]

You'll regret the wanting.

[swedge]

[...]

You're making this out to be one hell of a place, I hope you know.

[pontiac]

Oh, the place isn't so bad.

It's what they might have you do there that's taxing.

[swedge]

Taxing? Really? [As long as it's not trying to stop the end of the world, she can probably handle it. Or so she thinks.]

What do you do?

[pontiac]

What do I do?

What kind of question is that?

[swedge]

No I mean, what does your creator/mun/person have you do that's so taxing?

You mean good life decisions.

[damnidjits]

Your mun a slightly more awful version of mine?

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[swedge]

I get the feeling they're all basically the same. Too many ideas, no idea how much work is needed to follow through.

8)

[damnidjits]

Sounds 'bout right. They're all a bunch of headless chickens.

you are a dirty enabler. the whole lot of you.

[swedge]

You can say that again.

[a beat.]

How are you, Bobby?

I'm not sorry. B)

[damnidjits]

Here's hopin' you got better luck with yours.

Alright, could be worse.

[Which says something considering their lives, right?]

It's good to see you again, kid.

this is what my life has become.

[swedge]

Don't get your hopes up.

[Yeah, considering their lives...that's not bad at all. Especially considering the canon point I'm taking Jo from. She kind of...touches her side for a moment.]

Good to be here, actually. You haven't...seen my mom around, have you?

[agenda]

Well look at that, Bambi, we're in the same boat.

[swedge]

Your's too?

[And no, this is totally not the mun saying that we should app together next month no not at all that would be crazy.]

[agenda]

Uh-huh, and if she knows what's good for her, she'll bend over backwards to get me there. I don't fucking care if she has the time.

Bullwinkle, Rocky, and the most socially awkward little angel are calling my name.

[She wants r e v e n g e.

And this is not the Mun saying damn you, Dai, and considering it nope not all.]

[swedge]

[You're getting narrowed eyes at that, because she's not sure she likes you.

And this is in no way this mun saying join me, you know you want to. because obviously we have to do everything together.]

Sounds like you've got some history there.

[agenda]

Me and Sammy have run around the bases a few times. I've saved their asses a few more times.

[Self-satisfied grin. Narrow your eyes all you want. She isn't scared of monster-hunter barbie, even if she comes with guns, salt, and shit.

also, yes, we have to. It's our thing now.]

And I screwed them over big time.

[minifridge]

I don't know how much they actually like thinking.

[swedge]

That would make a lot of sense.

[minifridge]

If it helps, I'm told that Asgard is a lot less awful than most places you could go.

[sonofabitch]

At least your puppet master seems nice and active. Mine... Let's just say she should probably quit while she's still ahead.

Still, s'a nice game, I guess. Better than the other shithole she's got me in.

[swedge]

Better than the shitholes you're normally in?

Mine is verging on driving herself insane. She wants to be active, and will have bursts of it, but it always seems to slow down.

Don't get me wrong, it seems like a great place. Really. I'm just not ready to take the backseat to any of the others she's got in there.

[sonofabitch]

Everyone's alive and happy? Yeah, it's the best I've had in a while.

Oh, I know the feeling. This right here? The first time she's let me out in weeks it seems. Makes a guy feel all sorts of special.

Not her first, huh? I think we've all felt that.

[swedge]

Doesn't sound too bad, really.

She managed to keep you under wraps? And here I thought only hell could do that. [aaannndddd that's supposed to be a joke.

She holds up three fingers.] How about her third? Not the kind of standing I tend to play into. But hey, everyone loves an underdog, right?
