Re: upcoming "Love or Lost" event at lastvoyages

I would say you must be joking...but your sense or humor appears to be even worse than Hal Jordan's.


[He's also going to purposely avoid the reason as to why he will be temporarily taking Aya's place on the Barge.]

It was either Razer or Ilana and I didn't want to break you so early on

[awayfromdread]

If you could call it 'humor.'

I prefer 'sadism.'

Implying you intend to break me...later...?

[twiceburned]

You would.

[Razer, stop insulting yourself]

Perhaps I should at least be grateful for the chosen canon point. It...could have been worse.

Only maybe

[awayfromdread]

[Excuse you, me.]

Small mercies. The only kind they seem capable of.

Sob

[twiceburned]

[We're excused.]

I am not even sure I would call it that. Frankly, there may be no words in our language to describe what goes on in her mind.

You agree we would be better off not disrupting Aya's new life, correct?

[awayfromdread]

Agreed. She has no need of me, especially now that she's found some semblance of happiness.

[GUILT COMPLEX COMING THROUGH BEEP BEEP.]

[twiceburned]

At least she will not be there to have to witness it.

[MAKE IT DOUBLE]

[awayfromdread]

I imagine these puppeteers will not be nearly so generous.

[TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM-- wait.]

[twiceburned]

What more could they possibly do?

[TO DESTROY THE HEADS OF DC NATION]

who's the bigger troll, the troll or the troll who trolled the troll?

[ichoosefight]

Oh, this is going to be fun.

The Answer if obviously the One Who Used To Be Robin

[twiceburned]

...forgive me if I do not share your opinion.

[Who are you, anyway?]

I think that will always be the answer.

[ichoosefight]

Forgiven. So if you're taking Aya's place will you look through bridal mags with me?

three tags in, and I'm already crying WHY STEPH

[twiceburned]

[Freeze.]

[No, really. Frozen Solid.]

[Eyes. Wide.]

[I'm only sorry I don't have the proper emote to display the shock he is in right now.

What?

Because Steph

[ichoosefight]

We were going to go through bridal magazines. I can't be expected to look through them alone, that would just be sad.

[twiceburned]

[There is about an ETERNITY OF SILENCE. And staring. Emphasis on the staring.]

I'm going to regret asking this later...but...why are you looking through bridal magazines with Aya?

[ichoosefight]

Because I'm getting married, obviously.

[ Not going to quantify that any further. ]

[twiceburned]

And what is her role in this?

[She almost doesn't need to; the thought of marriage alone is enough to hit him in the manpain.]

[awayfromdread]

[It's okay I have the right emote.]

[twiceburned]

^ [What he said]

[emeraldpapa]

Excuse me! My sense humor is duly appreciated on Earth and it's not my fault you guys lack one! [Huff Puff.

Wait-] Also, you better not make things worse for her in there. She's still... herself, and I want it to stay that way. Understood?

[twiceburned]

[Lineface. Like this: :|]

We are not on Earth, and it is your fault you continue to not understand this.

[But then--]

...what do you mean, she is still herself? Who else would she be?

[emeraldpapa]

[He literally bites his tongue, if a little too late] Well, you know... a different Aya.

A hurt one. [Totally what she meant.]

[twiceburned]

[Very too late. Razer knows that look by now. You let something slip, and now you're attempting to cover it up. Unfortunately, it involves Aya, and he is not going to rest until he finds out.]

She has been damaged in battle plenty of times, as have we all.

There is more than what you are telling me.

[emeraldpapa]

It doesn't matter. She's in the barge anyway, things will be different.

[twiceburned]

Hn.

[He had a point. So long as whatever it was that had "hurt" her was not also aboard.]

You are handling her reassignment quite well, Hal Jordan. I would have expected you to protest her departure more emphatically.

[emeraldpapa]

It's not like she's... you know, gone-gone. She's just a little gone, and I still get to talk to her around here.

Plus she's doing good work over there.
