Voicetest, resisting an impulse app to amatomnes

[goodhumor]

You know what, I'm not even gonna fight it. That sounds kind of awesome.

[No, tell us how you really feel.]

I'm less enthusiastic about who's waitin' there for me, but come on now. I could do a hell of a lot worse than a sex island.

Comments

[neededhope]

That's a little insulting, Raylan. [ Even if she's fairly certain he means Boyd, she can't resist the jab. ]

[goodhumor]

What, the part about it bein' awesome or the people thing?

[neededhope]

What do you think? [ The part about it being awesome just has her wondering if he needs to get his head checked. ]

[goodhumor]

Winona, you know I always enjoy your company

[When someone isn't picking a fight about something, or they're not getting shot at, or...]

But if you're taking up for Boyd, I don't know what to tell you.

[Have a little jab, too. Isn't this fun, reuniting and all?]

[neededhope]

[ It's not fun at all, considering the shit her mun's pulled as far as her and Boyd are concerned. So you'll have to forgive Winona for the way her jaw clenches slightly when she hears his name. ]

You can say whatever the hell you want about Boyd; I couldn't care less.

[goodhumor]

Good to know.

[But he's not done poking this particular bear just yet. As you do.]

What the hell happened to your taste in guys? I thought Gary was just a fluke, but Boyd?

[neededhope]

[ Oh, Raylan... ]

You think I'd have gotten with him if I had a choice? I have never wanted anything to do with that man and you know it, Raylan. If you think I would've gone after him of my own free will, then you don't know me at all.

[ Teasing him about it would be one way to go with this but Winona's pissed off enough at Atia for pulling that shit - and her mun, of course - that she doesn't even consider the option. ]

[goodhumor]

[Raylan throws his hand up in surrender and cuts her off.]

Woah, okay, I was just jokin'.

[Sort of.]

I get it.

[neededhope]

[ She crosses her arms over her chest and glances away, jaw clenching again for a moment. ]

You really need a better sense of humor.

[goodhumor]

Oh, just me?

[He's not the one flying off the handle at some half serious teasing.]

[neededhope]

[ It's a touchy subject, okay? She doesn't like the fact that she slept with Boyd. Especially when talking to her ex-husband that she slept with. ]

Yeah, just you. [ At least there's a small hint of a smile now? ]

[goodhumor]

Well, I think I'm hilarious.

[But he's going to leave that there. There's some thing's he'll give her shit about, when she's overreacting or worrying too hard, but clearly it's something she's genuinely upset about.

He doesn't blame her, with the kind of man Boyd is.]

Are you doin' okay?

[neededhope]

[ She gives him a look that pretty clearly states "You're the only one who thinks so," though she is appreciative of him dropping it.

The question gets a brief nod. Aside from being cursed twice with Boyd Crowder and being stuck on sex island? ] Yeah, I'm good. [ She drops her arms from her chest, clasped hands settling in front of her as she drags her thumb over the palm of her other hand. ] I was in need of a vacation.

[goodhumor]

[He gives her a weak smile.]

Doesn't sound like much of a vacation to me. [He looks down, fighting a sudden impulse to take one of those hands into his.]I They really make you sleep with people you hate there?

[neededhope]

Not always. It depends on how much torture she feels like handin' out. [ Whether she means her mun or Atia is up for debate. ] Usually, anybody'll do. [ Why does she feel this awkward talking to him about this? It's not like she and Raylan were a thing before she was pulled to Atia. ...a thing again, anyways. ]

[goodhumor]

Anyone?

[You know, he's staring to think he was mislead about that island.]

So how many...

[He's really not sure why he asked. Honestly, he'd like her to take that particular fact and bury it deep down so he never has to stare it in the face.

Though really, he's got no reason to feel like that. It's not like she's his anymore.]

[neededhope]

[ Not as many as he might think, actually, just one glaringly horrible one that she never would've done if it weren't for other influences. But even if they aren't together, she doesn't really feel like having this conversation with him. ]

I don't really see how that's any of your business. [ If that sounds like she's maybe possibly trying to ask a question - Do you want it to be your business? - Winona doesn't draw attention to it. ]

[pinball_reset]

Could do a hell of a lot better too.

[Really, Raylan. Collars? She didn't think you got off on being treated like a pet..]

...Didn't think you'd willingly walk into a place like that.

[goodhumor]

[Hey, he never said he liked that part. That'd just be weird.]

My other two options are Canada with monsters and some creepy space station. If I gotta be anywhere...

[Now you see why sex island sounds so good.]

[pinball_reset]

If you gotta be anywhere, why not somewhere you get sex?

[Why do boys never surprise her?]

And here I thought you were above such thinkin'.

[goodhumor]

Well when you say it like that, you make me sound like an asshole.

[And we all know that's totally untrue.]

What, should I want to be torn apart by monsters and shit? 'Cause compared to that, sex or die looks pretty good.

[pinball_reset]

[Okay, that gets a smirk out of her.]

Now, Raylan. Do you really think I'd say somethin' like that to you?

I mean, I know you thought with the wrong head, just thought you'd prove me wrong for once~.

[boyd_crowder]

Now, I do believe you have every reason in the world to be jumpin' for joy. Where else would a man go to be greeted by both his beautiful ex-wife and his best friend in this whole wide world?

[goodhumor]

Best friend in "the whole wide world"? Sounds a little excessive.

[Among other things.]

[boyd_crowder]

Well who else would you run to in your time of great need? I know where I would go. And I've seen you on my doorstep more 'n once.

apparently dw ate this last night and i didn't notice :T

[goodhumor]

[He opens his mouth for a moment, but he promptly closes it and huffs when he realizes he's got no room to say anything.

You kind of fucking suck when you hit the nail on the head, Boyd.]

Somethin' tells me it's not you I'm gonna be runnin' to for help on that island.

[Jesus, he hopes not.]

jerk

[boyd_crowder]

Always best to keep your doors open. Unless the help you require is carnal in nature... There's only so far a friend can go.

sob

[goodhumor]

[Like he really needed that mental image, thanks.]

Yeah, I think that's what I meant.

[boyd_crowder]

You wouldn't need my help there. I do believe there are plenty o' fine ladies who'd love a man with a badge.

BECAUSE I CAN.

[neededhope]

[ Have a very disapproving look, Boyd. You don't get to call her beautiful. :| ]

<3

[boyd_crowder]

[Too late.]

<333

[neededhope]

[ 8( ]

[marshal_art]

Hasn't your dick got you into enough trouble already?

[OTOH if Raylan's off on some sex island, he's no longer Art's problem.]

[goodhumor]

I don't know, I was thinkin' I need to up my game a little bit.

[No Art, he will always be your problem. He'll find a way, even across universes.]

[marshal_art]

Well I suppose I'll at least get the pleasure of saying "I told you so" when it all goes to shit. And it will go to shit seeing as how you've never fully grasped the concept of cause and effect.

[This is what Art's afraid of--that no matter where Raylan is or what he does, it'll somehow be Art's responsibility to clean up his messes. Of course, he also worries what'll happen if he's not there to clean up the messes so either way, Raylan is going to give him a stroke.]

[goodhumor]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Art. It really warms my heart.

If you're so concerned, why not take the trip with me? [He gives Art an obvious once-over] I think you could handle it. The girls'll crawl over each other to get to you.

[marshal_art]

As it should.


Raylan, I'd love to accompany you to a sex island, only it doesn't seem fair. All those pretty girls would be chasing me and there wouldn't be any left for you and you'd just end up looking all pathetic. [Somehow he manages to say that with a straight face.] Besides, I'm fairly certain my wife would have something to say about it.
