It's ok, I get it. You miss me. I miss me too, in that meta "future me was really going places" sense. I think you're doing the mature thing here, bringing me out to help you deal with...

What is this, anyway? Grief? Denial? A case of the Stephs? Flattered as I am, I'm not really into girls. And I'm sorta taken.

And whatever happened to all those waffles I was supposed to get, anyway?

'A case of the Stephs'? Sounds nasty.

[hangswithrobin]

Oh, it can be. It's better if you don't try to fight it.

[plains_hunter]

Deal with? Deal with what?

[notascienceproject]

Yeah? What are the symptoms?

[hangswithrobin]

You could say future-me has mysteriously disappeared, but that would be dishonest. More like she was benched from the whole universe. She was totally badass, too.

[hangswithrobin]

Flushing, elevated heart rate, lingering thoughts of yours truly...

[notascienceproject]

And how contagious is it?

[plains_hunter]

Probably got the same treatment, myself. I haven't kept up with all of that, I think I shut off when my mun even mentions this nonsense. He still resents the reboot for canceling the series I was in.

[hangswithrobin]

Um. [ She hadn't actually thought of that yet, give her a second... ]

Very.

[notascienceproject]

So, I should already be infected?

[hangswithrobin]

The lady in charge says she hasn't seen you. Welcome to the club, I guess!

[hangswithrobin]

You're probably terminal.

[notascienceproject]

...Don't feel anything.

[plains_hunter]

Been kicked around most of my career. Can't say it's very shocking.

[hangswithrobin]

Ouch. That hurts my feelings.

Anyway I already said I'm taken.

[notascienceproject]

Didn't stop you from trying to flirt with me.

[hangswithrobin]

Preaching to the choir. My whole life has been a series of narrowly avoided disasters. And some... not so avoided.

[plains_hunter]

I really wish I could build an immunity to torture.

[hangswithrobin]

No, no it didn't. And the Boy Wonder isn't even around to get jealous.

[hangswithrobin]

Apparently it's not that hard, if you're willing to be really mean about it.

[notascienceproject]

Boy Wonder? Sounds familiar.

Jealous type, is he?

[plains_hunter]

I've got mean in spades. Doesn't do you much good when you're strapped down on a table.

[hangswithrobin]

Also known as Robin, Batman's more colorful sidekick?

A girl can try.

[hangswithrobin]

No, but if you go ahead and fake your own death you should be fine in a year or so. That's real medical science, there.

I did the next best thing. Cut all ties and lived in the wilds of Africa. Not far enough, unfortunately. You'd think living with a pride of lions would be enough to tell people I don't want to work for them.
