No, stop thinking.

I know that last post gave you 'ideas' and now you want to update my 'canon' but you're being remarkably cruel about it.

We've worked well together these past few years and I'd hate to see our relationship turning for the worst now. Especially since neither of us have any idea how to work out 'cross-canon pairings into an original story without breaking the world dynamics' or whatever bullshit you just thought.

How about I direct your attention back to your inbox and those tags? It's a much better use of your energies than whatever angst you want to write. Or you can hit up that guy from before, if you really insist on procrastinating.

That's a good girl.

It does sound rather complicated. The-- The cross-canon bit, I mean.

[strategic_guile]

Yeah, I'm not sure how that would work. Cybil in the future is a funny thought though.

[ohhdeer]

She's your.. ah, your.. girlfriend?

[strategic_guile]

Hng... [Grunts] Domestic life partner... maybe.

[ohhdeer]

You.. don't seem very convinced..

What is it he calls it? [Handwaving as he tries to remember the term used by another one of the voices he lives with.]

Ah! Yes. Alternate reality? I think that's it.

[strategic_guile]

Well, she likes to throw me into all sorts of alternative realities so I guess this wouldn't be too different.

[shiftylyingbardwholies]

Yeah. Just think of it like that.

[strategic_guile]

There could definitely be worse things. It looks like I'm going to become a father after all.

[So weird.]

[shiftylyingbardwholies]

I'm sorry.

[Is genuinely apologetic.]

You can't fob the child off on someone else?

[vaudevil]

What a frustrating set of circumstances, yes? I had the same problem once though it will take another year now for anything to come of any updates that may occur. My trouble would be a certain little secret that had been now over twenty years brewing leaking to a certain someone with my life in her sights as her target.

Do you honestly expect your headspace manager to listen?

[strategic_guile]

...so your secret made some lady want to kill you? Mine isn't nearly so life threatening.

[Bark of laughter] Headspace manager. Manager implies I could fire her if she did a bad job.

[vaudevil]

True, and she can also evict you should she deem you anything other than useful.

[He smirks and winks then says nothing more about his own troubles. It's bad enough he has to put up with it.]

Remarkably, I managed to survive. What would be the fun of killing someone that would result in the end of their purpose? It would be a rather dull retirement.

[strategic_guile]

Well, don't want to get on her bad side. Not on any woman's bad side, to be honest.

[Don't mind the scorned ex enjoying your pain over here.]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerk.

[Choke on it.]

[cybil]

They're not necessarily thoughts I approve of, either.

[strategic_guile]

We should both make attempts to run away together to spite them.

[cybil]

Wouldn't running away together give them what they want?

[strategic_guile]

[Eyebrow] Maybe it'll give me what I want.

[trustycrowbar]

Hm, So am I to understand that there's more to you than draping over furniture and hitting on everything that moves, now?

[Don't worry Blaine. Judging by the smirk, he's just giving you shit.]

[strategic_guile]

What? No! That's all I'm good for.

And draping over people. Can't forget that.

[He'll take that over SUDDENLY A SON]

[trustycrowbar]

I don't think a little bit of history behind that is such a bad thing. If I just wanted something to lounge around the apartment and purr all day, I'd get a cat.

[Spoilers: he doesn't like cats.]

[strategic_guile]

Who needs a cat when you have me? Can I just walk over and sit on your lap, too?
