That's the fastest I've seen anyone write anything and then get stuck... Especially something you won't be able to submit for weeks.

You must be really excited. I hope I don't disappoint.

Just, I'm not sure I really like the idea of trying to mooch off a stranger immediately, especially when he's married.

Even if you think he's lonely.

What.

[snidepiper]

I didn't say anything, who said what?

[oh jesus]

Oh, you're him, aren't you. "Midnighter"? It's nice to meet you, I think.

[bringerofwar]

Trust me, it's not.

[grumpiest] You are?

[snidepiper]

Piper. [pause] Pied Piper.

I wouldn't impose, you know. If she's wrong and you like your space...

I'm not the ideal roommate either. Lots of noise and vermin.

[bringerofwar]

I fucking hate that that just endeared her even further.




Pied Piper.

[snidepiper]

I can't help if she's got good taste.

Hey, I'm not the most creative, I'll admit. I play a flute. It hypnotizes people. With a name like 'Midnighter' you'd better have shadow powers. Or a really irregular snack schedule.

[schedulingconflict]

You have seventeen days, by my calculation. More than enough time to get it ready!

ROFL THAT NAME

[snidepiper]

I just hope she's making the right decision... but 17 days should be enough to think it over carefully, you're right.

...You're from Gotham, aren't you?

it is excellent

[schedulingconflict]

Sixteen now.

That's right! I am that dealer of days, mover of months, and.... yeller of years -- the Calendar Man!

And you are?

[snidepiper]

She's definitely not the fastest tagger.

Pied Piper. I thought I recognized your--[accent... not as diplomatic]--costume.

I'd ask if you're staying out of trouble, but...

[schedulingconflict]

Fifteen.

I have, though not by my design. My counterpart gets more play, for some reason.

[snidepiper]

Your mun likes him better?

[viced]

Oh. You're going to be mooching off of him?

[snidepiper]

That sounds really ominous, you know.

[viced]

Hey, I'm good at ominous! It's something about presence.

Still, it's Midnighter.

[snidepiper]

I gotcha. Important for a politician to know how to sell something.

So tell me what's wrong with him. Is he gonna bring home BDSM partners?

[bringerofwar]

Married, asshole.

[viced]

I fucking hope not!

Anyway, as far as I know, he's crazier than Batman.

[bringerofwar]

And you. By extension.

[viced]

Like I've got things to mooch off of!

[bringerofwar]

What, unlike me?

[viced]

I don't know, I thought you might be doing some bounty hunting or some shit like that.

[cackling]

Excuse you, mooching is just another way to make friends. Everyone knows that.

[snidepiper]

Are you still friends after you've taken all their stuff? [...] The mun wants you to know she thinks that's an amazing username for you, too.

[cackling]

If stealing their food and turning their couch into your bed doesn't make them your new best friend, you're doing something wrong.

[a beat followed by a sly little grin.]

Awww. Stuff like that makes me blush!
