This is all very flattering but I have places to go and boys to take care of. I don't really have time to be sent to any games.

End of story.

I hope you're planning on some sister time somewhere in that whirlwind.

[timestall]

Sister time is a given.

...tenderly threadjacks like a rude thing oops

[astralling]

A given? Oh, it better be.

geez how rude

[timestall]

Like I could get away with not having sister time, between you two.

my real rudeness is tagging right before a hiatus :|

[astralling]

Never ever.

that is totally okay ;)

[timestall]

So are you in one of these "games"?

^_^

[astralling]

Unfortunately, yes.

As good as some things about it are, I... miss you guys. A lot.

[timestall]

[quietly] We miss you too, Prue.

[astralling]

[There's about a second of silence before she cracks]

Oh, honey.

[-and pulls her baby sister into a hug.]

[timestall]

[big sister hugs. How long has it been since she's had one of those? Too long. Way too long]

We have a lot to catch up on.

[astralling]

[Tightest hug okay and no you don't get let go of yet. No. No. She buries her face in her sister's shoulder and hugs her even tighter for a long, long moment. And another, and another, before finally letting go.

It's been a long few months.]

Yeah.

[She puts a hand on the side of Piper's head, stroking her hair, just looking at her.]

Considering I'm rooming with your son right now...

[timestall]

[you know, that makes her pause just for a minute. But then, in their lives, this isn't really so strange after all] Which one?

[astralling]

Chris.

[timestall]

Ah. I hope he hasn't been driving you too crazy.

[astralling]

No, he's great. He is secretive, but... he's been great. He's helping me while my eyes recover.

[ihu Abbey.]

[timestall]

He's like that. Just try to be patient with him.

[astralling]

I have 23 years of Phoebe under my belt. We'll be okay.

[timestall]

Glad to hear he'll finally get to know you.

[astralling]

You and me both.

We miss you, though. Both of us.

[timestall]

I miss you too, Prue. And Chris.

[astralling]

I think Phoebe is coming to our game, too.

It'll be lonely without you. Somehow, having you around makes us a family again. You were the glue after Grams died, you always have been.

[demontobeloved]

They'll get bored of you and toss you back into the toybox eventually. It always happens sooner or later.

[timestall]

I can't decide which I'd want more.

[demontobeloved]

Toybox means you sit there and gather dust until they're feeling nostalgic, games mean they can screw with and control your life.

Either way, neither's good.

[timestall]

Yeah, so I hear. I've had enough of the Elders screwing up my life. I don't know if I can take a mun doing it too.

[demontobeloved]

Muns are like the Elders without their whole moral ambiguity.

[timestall]

..More good news.

[justgonnaramble]

Get back to me on how this little declaration goes for you.

[timestall]

I'm guessing your mun ignored you?

[justgonnaramble]

It's kind of what they're known for. Doing whatever they want to us.

[timestall]

Hey, I may get lucky. There are a lot of others who aren't going anywhere.

[justgonnaramble]

I hope you do.

So where does yours want to send you anyway?

[timestall]

Who knows? Best not to give her any ideas.

[justgonnaramble]

Then let's not. I'm not anywhere and I'm perfectly happy!


I mean, sure, she could give me something more to do, but game? Bah! I don't need no stinkin' game. Been there done that didn't want the t-shirt.

[timestall]

That bad, huh? Great.

[justgonnaramble]

It wasn't all bad. I mean...I made friends, I met a really great guy...two of them actually! But you know. Things kept happening, I was by myself for a long time, and by the time you...a different you..showed up...you didn't know who I was.

At all.

[timestall]

Wait, don't tell me: I was from a different time, from before we met.

[justgonnaramble]

Bingo. Give the girl a cookie.


So...there are good things and bad. Personally I think you should in our world.

[timestall]

I think I'll stick with home. At least there I'm used to the bad things.

[justgonnaramble]

Don't say that! As soon as you do something new is going to come after us.

[timestall]

Then we'll deal with it like we always do.
