maybe to sweven?

[recurved]

How about you go back to playing with younger-me again? You seem to be pretty attached to her, what with the overwhelming regret you felt when you dropped her. Me. Whatever, same difference. I'm a-okay with being left to my own devices for now. Besides, you haven't even written out what happens to me in that future anyway.

And just so we're clear, nothing about Montana is appealing.  At all.

...Kate?

[recurved]

[She looks surprised, but there's a smile.]

Bucky? Well, hi.

[kneecaptain]

Hi. [So eloquent.]

[recurved]

[The most eloquent. Not awkward at all.] Wow. Um. How have you been?

[kneecaptain]

Well, you know. Not dead.

[recurved]

So same as usual, then. That's good.

[kneecaptain]

You— you got older.

[recurved]

Yeah, that generally happens to people. Most people, anyway.

[kneecaptain]

Is this one of those time travel things?

[recurved]

I guess you could call it that. The typist wanted to play me from the City's big-bad-grimdark future.

[kneecaptain]

I don't think I make out so well in that one.

[recurved]

I wasn't going to rain on your parade.

[kneecaptain]

Nah, that's the spirit of the thing.

But you're… you.

[recurved]

More or less.

[kneecaptain]

I'm glad.

[recurved]

Me too. I was lucky.

[kneecaptain]

Do I wanna ask?

[recurved]

You can ask, if you want to. It's okay.

[kneecaptain]

Okay, I'm asking.

[recurved]

When the authorities came, I ran away. I'm not proud of running, but the alternative was-- well.

[motherofnemesis]

Yeah, my mun has an unhealthy attachment to grimdark futures in general and grimdark future me in particular.

Good luck. Montana does not sound appealing.

[recurved]

She used to leave me alone. She was distracted by that vapid blonde's grimdark future. I thought I was safe.

I'm pretty sure all they have there is mountains and cows.

[motherofnemesis]

If it involves suffering and intriguing character development, we're never safe.

Wow, that sounds incredibly unfun.

[recurved]

I was completely fine without the suffering part. But what do I know, right?

Agreed. But I might be able to convince her that the musebox is a suitable replacement. At least there wouldn't be cattle.

[motherofnemesis]

I could so easily have done without the suffering, yeah.

... Actually, at the moment all that's happening is that my mun is starting to realize she could consistently play me somewhere.

[recurved]

Mine is toying with apping a canon-AU now. I don't know what to think about any of this anymore.

[motherofnemesis]

... Want a drink?

I find it helps.

[recurved]

Most definitely. In the AU she's considering, I'm pregnant.

[motherofnemesis]

Oh fuck, I'm sorry.

I've got whiskey?

[recurved]

It could be worse. [No, not really.]

You've just become my new best friend, just so you know.

[motherofnemesis]

... I mean, I guess you could be dead, but I don't see how else.

I'm good with that. Those of us with grimdark futures inflicted on us should stick together.
