[eternityunseen]

Good to know there's always one thing that will bring me back to your mind, if nothing else. Nothing quite like the home turf, right?

So, talk to me, mun. You've got a plan, I can smell it. (No, not literally. Not anymore. Also, shut up, you wish I sparkled. My personality makes up for it.) Anyway, your plan. Sounds a little bit ill-conceived to me, but what do I know? Maybe interstellar traveling agencies have more use for, you know, blind musicians-slash-incarnations of Fate than I thought.

[deshabille]

You know, I've always wondered what incarnations of things do. You know. Outside of work.

[eternityunseen]

Exist, for the most part. It doesn't matter what we do, so much as whether we're alive to do it. Know some incarnations of things yourself?

[bringingdragonback]

I don't know, you could make it a slogan. "Choose us, we've got the approval of the Fates."

[eternityunseen]

Then run off cackling into the night with their paycheck? Could work, I guess.

[bringingdragonback]

Of course it'd work, but you just need to act less blind and they'd see nothing wrong.

[eternityunseen]

I'll take acting less blind under advisement. Not sure that particular skill is quite in my repertoire, though.

[bringingdragonback]

I'm shocked that you haven't taught yourself how to trick unsuspecting people into thinking you can see. I would have thought you of all people would have thought it a very useful skill.

[eternityunseen]

Oh, it's not that I can't trick people... but when they start asking how many fingers they're holding up, it gets to about a 50/50 chance that I can keep pulling it off.

[huge_egomd]

Have you learned nothing, Z-Man? Oh, sure, it's all fun and games until someone gets bitten by a vampire...or turned into a bunny. Mun plans never end well for us.

(Not even going to ask about the sparkling.)

[eternityunseen]

I'm hoping to avoid the vampire thing this time, call me optimistic. Now a bunny is a different story entirely.

(Twilight, Greg. You can't possibly tell me you haven't heard about it. I refuse it.)

[huge_egomd]

You can hope all you want, but these things have a way of happening no matter what we do.

(I've been unsuccessful in avoiding it, though god knows I've tried. And if you start sparkling, I will have to mock you.)

[eternityunseen]

Yeah, yeah, let me dream. Hey, maybe I'll end up a werewolf this time. You know, something different.

(Please, spare me the knowledge of my own incandesence. If you only ever do one thing for me, let it be that.)

[huge_egomd]

Different, maybe, but that doesn't make it better.

(...you have to admit--mercy really isn't my strong point. I suppose I could make an effort but I'm not promising anything.)

[eternityunseen]

What's actually worse than a vampire or a werewolf?

(I'm so honored. You are, of course, free to take pictures and spread them to random passers-by at your leisure.)

[justamobster]

Sometimes we're better off not knowin' what the hell they're plannin', yeah?

[eternityunseen]

I'm kind of used to knowing things. With muns, though? Eesh, you might be right. They're a whole different brand of space cadets.

[justamobster]

That or sadistic. Dame I got's determined t'make me miserable. "It builds character." Fuck character, lemme stay where I know the rules and how t'get around 'em, yeah?

[eternityunseen]

She's not wrong, all things considered. But who wants to be the angsty, can't-catch-a-break type?

[justamobster]

Everytime I turn 'round, I got more things t'be pissed off 'bout. [ Because Ladon does not get mopey, he gets angry. ... He likes to think he does, anyway. ] It ain't exactly fair t'pile up on a guy.

[eternityunseen]

See, that's where you hit the nail on the head: there's nothing fair about it. It's fun and games. [ He shrugs. ]

[gotbottle]

Their plans are always ill-conceived, but they carry them out anyway.

[eternityunseen]

Even the good ones? ... You know, I might agree with that.

How have you been, Rachel?

[gotbottle]

Sometimes it seems like the good ones happen by accident.

Not bad, all things considered. And you? It's good to see you again.

[eternityunseen]

I wouldn't say "accident"... random, unpredictable act of charity, maybe, but not on accident.

It's good to see you, too. [ Insert cheeky grin here. ] I've been doing okay, about as well as you can expect from limbo. It's been very... well, I won't jinx it and say quiet, but peaceful.

[gotbottle]

You're way more charitable than I am.

I'm glad you had some peace there. Sounds like it's about to be broken, now that you're back on deck, though.
