I like how you make bad decisions late at night. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Yeah, yeah, I missed you too. Like a foot misses between-the-toes fungus.

Though you're a bit behind with figuring out what, exactly, is happening back in my world, aren't you? Not that I really blame you. America going to hell in a hand-basket isn't exactly new, but crossovers are always hard to follow. Maybe you should catch up sometime. And finish making those icons you said you wanted to make.

I'm not encouraging anything else, just--... It'd be nice to know I'm not going to be forgotten again.

... A little bit. How do you really -- you don't, I'd guess. Unless someone asks.

Even if I think he likes to pretend it's the other way around. But he can barely keep his head on his own shoulders.

[candidly]

And then everything is awful until you can figure out how to get over everything.

Ain't that the truth. To both those things.

[harriedosborn]

You can't get over everything, unfortunately. At least, I haven't figured out how.

I guess that's just part of the old Parker charm.

[candidly]

Yeah, me neither.

It's frustratingly endearing, but I'm not sure I'd call it charming.

[harriedosborn]

Emphasis on "frustrating," no doubt.

[candidly]

But of course.

[harriedosborn]

I really can sympathize with not wanting to jump headfirst back into--

[ Hrmm. ]

Sometimes a little distance is best for everyone.

[candidly]

Hear, hear.

[ a beat ]

So how do you feel about having company in your spacepocalypse?

[harriedosborn]

I feel like the more the merrier, so long as it's friendly company.

[candidly]

Well, I can't promise I won't give you a heart attack, but I'm sort of friendly.

[harriedosborn]

I can't promise you won't either, but then again I have survived... er, weirder. I think we can make this work. I'm in the sort of friendly camp, myself.

[candidly]

If it's any consolation, you probably won't have to do any awkward explanations.

[harriedosborn]

I hope not. But I think we're bound to have to deal with a few.

[candidly]

I'm hoping that the "Oh, hey, you're dead in my world" conversation isn't god-awful.

[harriedosborn]

Or that we could at least have some alcohol to dull the blow.

[candidly]

You do realize I'm seventeen, right?

[harriedosborn]

That's all right, I'm supposed to be staying sober anyway.

[candidly]

Being drunk isn't very fun anyways.

[ says the girl who's only gotten tipsy once ]

[harriedosborn]

Best to keep it that way. And trust me, I'm not looking to become a bad influence.

[candidly]

I'm immune to bad influences.

[harriedosborn]

No one is.

[candidly]

No, no. I'm too fucked up for anyone else to fuck me up even more. Trust me on this one.

[harriedosborn]

I guess I'll believe that when I see it.

[candidly]

You sound way patronizing right now, you know.

[harriedosborn]

Well -- that's never stopped some people, is all.
