I miss him and this is how he repays me

[alienfromkansas]

You just let me go, you know. It usually take more than a week for that. Especially when you have more versions of me to play with.

It was you who decided you had done everything that was possible with me in the game, not me. I outright refused to be terminated, so why is the blame falling on me now? And don't think I'm happy about the way you choose to let me go or that I have forgotten about it. You traumatized her during an experiment where she was feeling vulnerable and you knew it. There was no need for that.

[He sighs, making his curl bounce.]

Even my patience has its limits, so I hope you weren't expecting me to welcome you as a mundane with open arms after what you did.

["Her," huh? If he's talking about who she thinks he's talking about she will punch him in the face. She's not giving in that easily, letting him just show up and be angry. Since when does he have a right to be angry? So what if it wasn't his fault, he's still--]

Didn't you die already? [Her arms are crossed.]

[alienfromkansas]

I did. [There is no denying that, and it'd only make her angrier.]

But I only died in... in that horrible place. I'll still be out here whenever you need me.

[tragetea]

[Angry is a good word for it. She won't admitting anything else.]

Need you? I'm not the one who's dead. Think I'm doing pretty well for myself. [So what that she hid in his room for over a day and then burned all of his stuff. She's doing fine.]

[alienfromkansas]

[Angry work for Kal. Angry means she cared.]

You know how that place is, Tea. I wouldn't have left you alone in there if it was up to me but what's done is done.

[tragetea]

[SHE DIDN'T CARE. SO THERE.]

You didn't leave me alone, shut up you idiot. You give yourself way too much significance in my life.

[alienfromkansas]

Tea... by now you should realize that even if you keep on saying you don't care about me I do care about you. You might not need me but I still like taking care of you.

Is that so bad?

[tragetea]

I'll keep saying it until it gets through your skull how little you caring matters to me. [Stop being so damn nice and supportive, idiot.] Besides, you're dead, you're not taking care of anyone.

[alienfromkansas]

You know, I did make a post to explain how unhappy I was about this whole 'dying' situation, must you really keep on reminding me about it?

[tragetea]

Then maybe you should have done a better job convincing her to keep you around.

[alienfromkansas]

How? I can't kill. I never will. I am not going to change myself to suit that place better.

[tragetea]

Well, sorry if your outdated morals make you a boring stiff that she doesn't want to play anymore. Not our problem, it's yours.

[alienfromkansas]

Of course it's mine. I'm the one who died, I was just trying to explain.

[tragetea]

I didn't ask for your explanations. I don't care. You're dead and I'm over it. [So keep the implications of her name and/or person out of your little arguments with your mun, Kal. She doesn't care that your dead. She got all the frustration out when she burned everything you owned.]

[motheringnation]

Oh dear....they do like to torment us sometimes. That doesn't sound very nice of them at all.

[alienfromkansas]

It wasn't, but I understood she just didn't have anything more to do with me in that place.

What I won't take is being taken again and left to die anytime she feels like it.

[motheringnation]

No, no one should have to go through that.

Do you think she might send you to a different place though?

[alienfromkansas]

She does enjoy playing me, it's just difficult to fit her interest in games with places that I might fit in.

She likes dark places, you see and I- well, I come from a very bright world.

[wintershepherd]

How about a snowball to the back of the head instead?

[alienfromkansas]

[He tilts his head] I don't think that would accomplish much...

[wintershepherd]

Come on, you never know until you try~

[ Jack breathes a snowball into existence in his palm and offers it to Clark. ]

Maybe you'll get your mun to lighten up on you?

[alienfromkansas]

Don't worry, I have my own. [Ice breath buddy, he simply holds out his hand and makes his own snow ball. He bounces it once.]

If I could reach my mundane in any way I'd try it.

[wintershepherd]

Whoa. [ He'd thought he was the only one who could do that! ]

Hmmm~ [ he grins ] No sense in wasting them!

[ throws his at Clark ]

[alienfromkansas]

Hey!

[He flies up, hovering before he throws his ball back at Jack] A little warning would have been nice.

[wintershepherd]

Warning?

[ Jack laughs, dodging the snowball and sticking out his tongue at Clark. ]

What kind of snowball fights did you grow up with if you're expecting warnings?

[stillbatman]

Quit whining, Clark.

[It's said with... exasperated fondness.]

[alienfromkansas]

Bruce! [Sorry B, he's fling straight to meet you. At least there are no hugs.

He'd met once Bruce this age before so it doesn't surprise him as much as it should.]

How are you? Is your mundane treating you well?

[stillbatman]

[Bruce's expression is so dour, and by his posture, if Clark even thinks a hug in his general direction he's going to get smacked with a cane.]

I'm fine. Do you even have to ask?

[And maybe a little bitter about the fact that Clark's in his prime but let's not mention that.]

[alienfromkansas]

[Don't break your cane Bruce, one of your glares is enough to get him to back down.]

Right, because you're always fine. I just- I haven't seen you in a while, you know? And we didn't part in a nice way.

[Code for I missed you.]

[stillbatman]

Different universe, Kal. Remember that.

[God he has to lecture you about everything, doesn't he.

But he maybe missed you too. Even if he'd never admit it on pain of death and-- well, old age.]

So what now?

[alienfromkansas]

Different universe, same people. [But okay, he can sense a change of topic when he sees one.]

I'm not sure. I guess I... sit down in her headspace and wait? I don't know. She probably will let me out every now and then, she's not a bad person.

[grouchinleather]

Hope you don't come back, because your stuffs all gone.

[alienfromkansas]

Gone? What do you mean gone- did the bots take it?

[grouchinleather]

No your little she-devil torched your place.

[alienfromkansas]

She-devil? What she-

[Wait...]

Tea? What did Tea do?!

[grouchinleather]

[Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery slowly.]

She.


Torched.


Your.


Place.

[alienfromkansas]

I'll miss your sense of humor like you can't even imagine.

How did she do that if it's not too much to ask?

[grouchinleather]

I'm sure you'll miss it as much as I'll miss your inability to see past your own ass.

A magnifying glass and a lot of free time. How the fuck do you think she did it?

[alienfromkansas]

[That much sarcasm means Midnighter thinks the answer is obvious, which means...]

Heath vision, then? But why would she do that?

[grouchinleather]

I've always known you were a moron but you've got to be shitting me. Because she misses you and both a temper and a serious case of denial.

[tochasethesun]

I'm still angry Val made an example of you. I'll melt some of Val's security bots into slag for you, though.

[alienfromkansas]

It wasn't the bot's fault. And Val... she isn't herself, she wouldn't have done that to me in the past.

You guys have to fix her until it's too late, Apollo.

[tochasethesun]

Normally I'd say you're right and avoid senseless destruction, but we're having to put up a good fight to even get people into the control room to fix her. Well, hopefully fix her.

So whether you had died or not, it'd still be the plan. I'll just enjoy it extra for you.

[alienfromkansas]

[He isn't sure if he should laugh at this, but... he does. He knows it's better to take those things with humor when it comes to that place.]

Can you do me a favor? Hit one or two for me?

[tochasethesun]

You got it. We'll make sure the red one regrets what she did.
