canon is stephen king's rose red; hero high au because yes.

[equivocacy]

At least I'm not dead. Make your own jokes about highschool hell, etcetera.

Comments

[forcefully]

Nice sunglasses.

[equivocacy]

They help disguise the eternal torment of my soul.

[ --no. ]

[forcefully]

More like your hangover.

[equivocacy]

Isn't that what I said?

[forcefully]

If you think hangovers are eternal, you clearly haven't been drinking correctly.

[equivocacy]

I don't know, I've had some practise.

[forcefully]

And yet.

[equivocacy]

I think you just want to get me drunk, Lea.

[forcefully]

I don't need to get you drunk.

[equivocacy]

I'd probably be no good to you that way, that's true.

[forcefully]

Whiskey dick has zero perks for either of us, thanks!

[equivocacy]

There is that.

[ nick stop going C: why are you going C: in a conversation that contains whiskey dick ]

[forcefully]

[ because lea is the best friend with whom you can sometimes casually hook up obv. ...or so she is choosing to believe. ]

So who are you planning to subtly terrorize first?

[equivocacy]

Oh, I don't know. Spin the wheel of pricks.

[forcefully]

You should let me choose.

[ lea that's not how it works ]

[equivocacy]

Why do you say?

[forcefully]

You can be the most telepathic man on the planet, but you'll never have my perspective. I know certain kinds of people when I see them, and I like it when you knock down people who have it coming.

Even if you're a dick sometimes.

[ the great thing about lea is that even if you DO somehow manage to read her mind, about 50% of the time it nearly mirrors what she actually says anyway. ]

[equivocacy]

I'll make you a suggestion box.

[ ... so, yes. ]

[forcefully]

I like it. I promise to only use it for justice!

And maybe note-passing.

[equivocacy]

'Dear Nick I'm out of cigarettes do you ever want to orgasm again circle y or n'

[ look how he credits himself with not needing an explanation for how the two things could be connected c: ]

[forcefully]

That sounds about right, yes.

[equivocacy]

I know what's good for me, no worries.

[forcefully]

Half-true. [ ARGUABLY LEA IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYBODY, but you know, if you're going to, may as well please the difficult fwb girl. ]

[equivocacy]

Knowing is only half the battle.

[ he could totally know exactly what's good for him and do the opposite anyway, it'd still be true. so there. ]

[tobecaprican]

It isn't the best years of your life, but I'm sure you've worked that out already.

[equivocacy]

Probably best I don't ask what yours were.

[tobecaprican]

I'd be pressed to pinpoint them either way.

[equivocacy]

Do you both have to reach a consensus?

[ nick no. ]

[tobecaprican]

--sorry?

[ Have a smile from Head Six, though. Lots of teeth. ]

[equivocacy]

Does she get a say in things? [ SO PATIENTLY nick you're a bad child. ]

[tobecaprican]

...an awful lot of say, and no, sorry, we're not doing this-- ow.

[ Because that would be Six casually squeezing his shoulder to discomfort. And; ] Don't be rude, Gaius. I'm sorry, he sometimes thinks he's the only person in the room. He has such an ego.

Oh, cheers for that.

[equivocacy]

He must be a handful, ma'am.

[ nick why ]

[tobecaprican]

True, but I have strong hands. He likes it.

[ Gaius is just going to collapse on the inside, don't mind him. ]

[equivocacy]

[ hey gaius won't it be super great when he's an adult and a practising psychiatrist???? won't that be super awesome??? ]

Well, it takes all kinds.

[tornadowarning]

I can't tell if it's worse than reality or not. If your dead in reality I guess probably not.

[equivocacy]

The thought did cross my mind that way, Conway.

[tornadowarning]

Did you have superpowers in reality?

[equivocacy]

Yeah. Well, I didn't call them superpowers.

[tornadowarning]

What did you call them?

[tiny conway is STILL A CURIOUS CONWAY.]

[equivocacy]

[ tiny conway if you ever need him to nick will ruthlessly destroy the self-esteem of any bully c: ]

I was a psychic. So I guess I'm the same thing, but now we call them 'superpowers' in general.

[tornadowarning]

Can you read my mind?

[Nick he will basically always need you to do this :c]

[equivocacy]

Telepath.

[ --so yes he can. he says it like Jack Sparrow says 'pirate'. btw. ]

[tornadowarning]

That's such a cool power. You could be a spy if you wanted.

[WHY DIDN'T HE GET A COOL POWER? BOOO.]

[equivocacy]

I don't think I'd be a very good spy.

[ HE WOULD BE A GREAT SPY, HE IS BASICALLY PERFECT FOR IT, HE JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT. ]

[tornadowarning]

But you'd just have to walk around and you could spy on people with your mind! It'd be easy for you!

[equivocacy]

Wouldn't that be a bit dull? Doing something I could do in my sleep.
