on recent muse revival and potentially considering a game

[hidingtiger]

No.

Sorry, I didn't say that loud enough? I can shout it, trust me. I can see what you're downloading, and I know what that means.

You've left me alone for so long now, why now?

[ So unimpressed at this mun. Arms folded, glaring kinds of unimpressed. She's just going to go ahead and sulk now. ]

This is stupid even for you, seriously. I won't fit in there, not until I sort this...well. I just won't, okay?

[ Pause.] ...What do you mean, Charles and Erik will be there too?

Comments

[violenthearted]

I see you've lost none of your fighting spirit. Even if it is coming from behind a mask.

[hidingtiger]

[ She's excited to see him, but it lasts all of five seconds before that backwards compliment is dropped, and she just raises an eyebrow. ]

Is that supposed to be your way of saying you're happy to see me? Because it's terrible, let me tell you.

[violenthearted]

[Erik: still a dick.]

I'd be happier to see the real Raven.

[Slightly softer:] You must allow if I'd changed that much since we've seen one another you wouldn't know what to do with me.

[hidingtiger]

[ Still a giant dick. ]

This is the real Raven.

[ Except he's not, and he's right, but she's just going to...yep...ignore that. ]

I'm working on it, okay?

[violenthearted]

[The giantest. Perhaps.]

Where I'm from we've stopped having this conversation. Although your brother continues to tell me that "mutant and proud" was his line.

[Erik doesn't sound like he believes this, but hey.]

[hidingtiger]

Well I hope you're not sick of having it then, sorry to say, since someone wants to take me from even earlier this time.

[ Oh my God though, that line. Raven can roll her eyes as well as any teenager, Erik. Let her prove this to you. ]

Most disgustingly cheesy pick up line ever. I thought I was going to throw up.

[violenthearted]

Revoking the progress you've made is an unconscionable cruelty.

[Damnit, he liked the last time they had that conversation.]

Charles enjoys being underestimated. [Haha, talking to Raven about this isn't weird at all.]

[hidingtiger]

Everything about this is an unconscionable cruelty, in case you hadn't noticed.

[ It's just asking for trouble, she's sure of it. Especially now that there's going to be this many of them there. There's bound to be trouble. ]

...Oh, no don't tell me that. You keep that to yourself, okay? Please.

wow my words

[violenthearted]

[Raven no he was being general. Discussing Charles in general is weird with Raven. Please.]

As you like.

[OH look at that closet it's even on this side of the fourth wall. Also nothing has happened yet.]

But more to the purpose, yes. I rather had. You may be able to tell from the point where all the metal on the island's melting.

[Oh, you mean did he notice being abruptly ripped from his reality as he was within an actual hundred yards of Shaw?]

[evolv]

Some things are just too beautiful to hide outta sight.

[hidingtiger]

[ Excuse her while she just fails at words for a moment. People don't drop the 'B' word very often, okay?

And it's back. She's cool, she's got this. ]

Since when did you get so charming?

[evolv]

Since always, sugar. You just didn't get a good enough chance to witness it.

[hidingtiger]

Well, you're here now? [ That smile she'd had before? Broken, completely. She's making an effort to get it back now, but it's not really working. ] So we'll just have to fix that.

[mentis]

And she's not terrified by the prospect of you yelling? [ His smile is crooked and fond. ] Heavens, my compliments to the Mundane. Many men have fallen at that point.

[hidingtiger]

She's stubborn. [ Pot kettle black? Of course not. ] Nothing I say is working.

[mentis]

[ He laughs a little, ever fond. ] I'm afraid they'll always have the upper hand, but rest assured, Erik and I will be there to help you.

[hidingtiger]

From what I hear you'll be there before me. [ And guess who's not too happy about that little detail. ] Better save me a room, got it?

[mentis]

[ He nods, breathes out. ] I'll leave it to you to sort it out though, I'm afraid I'm even more out of touch with what is ... hip.

[hidingtiger]

Yeah, that's probably for the best. Not that I don't trust your idea of style, but...well, I don't trust your idea of style. [ A pause, and then maybe that cheeriness slips just a little. ] ...Things are going to be okay, right?
