On BPRD: Hell on Earth: Lake of Fire and also exitvoid

[hellshaped]

You probably shouldn't be that excited about it. Liz will show up, sure, but you'll just get sad about it.

I mean, look what happened with Abe's thing.

By this point, you should probably just anticipate that every issue of anything is going to be depressing.

Plus, then you'll want her on this torture cruise even more, and that's annoying. Though I guess by the time it's published, it'll be that city. Right? Now, I think seeing Liz in a cloche and a bunch of beads would be as funny as the next person, but she might not like it too much.

And don't even get me started on how excited you are about the Cthulhu stuff. For some reason it doesn't make me all that thrilled to put my fate in your hands. Call me crazy.

[gevurah]

It's not crazy.

[hellshaped]

When they start to get excited about all the trauma they can put you through, that's when you know you went wrong somewhere in your life.

How are you, Kate?

[gevurah]

Mine likes to call it "character development."

Alive. How about you?

[hellshaped]

Alive so far. One of the 'character development' points is to change that at some point, though. Just inspiring more confidence, really.

[gevurah]

Jesus.

Not at the castle, right? What's this "torture cruise"?

[hellshaped]

No, it's a different thing. It's pretty much just that -- a big ship that floats around and everything that happens is really unpleasant. So, not as much annoying magic, but a hell of a lot more things trying to eat you.

[gevurah]

I was just on a hellish cruise myself. Ghosts and cannibals. [ FUN TIMES. ]

[hellshaped]

And here I am, thinking I was being impressive.

[gevurah]

We're not even in the castle and here we are still dealing with the same crap.

But I'm glad you're doing okay. [ For now? :( DON'T DIE HELLBOY!! ]

[hellshaped]

I don't think the castle ever had cannibals. Though there was that one time there were ships...

[His dying hinges on Liz showing up, which is another reason he doesn't trust me and this tag just got really super meta]

Sure, I'm okay. People I know from home are here and everything. Which, you know... you're never really sure if that's a good thing.

[gevurah]

[ But your meta tags are the best. ]

I know. It makes things complicated.

[hellshaped]

[Would you say they're... ametazing?? no that was bad]

How about you? Anyone you know?

[gevurah]

In the City there's a few Gothamites I know of. Mostly psychos and criminals.

The other place I'm at, that dystopian future? One of the guys I know back home is still a kid.

[hellshaped]

My friends are from way in the future. [Maybe? He doesn't actually know what year it is.] But none of us really age, so it's kind of different.

[gevurah]

You don't age? [ She doesn't remember ever asking that, but she remembers him as Hellbabby. ]

[hellshaped]

Not since I was about eight, anyway. [Which explains why Hellbabby kept saying he was, like, two years old while he acted much older...]

[gevurah]

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

[icthyo]

[ wow how about they don't talk about his series. how about that. ] Don't know why they want her to show up so much. It'd drive her crazy.

[hellshaped]

[BUT ABE.] No kidding.

Plus she would steal our cigarettes. Think about it.

[icthyo]

[ 'hey remember that time you got shot and turned into a monster, that was great' ] After sharing with you? Nothing left to steal.

[hellshaped]

['remember that time you started wearing fedoras again and became a hobo'] Wow, with that attitude, I'd just give her yours.

[icthyo]

[ 'how about when some witch ripped your heart out and' oh wait ] She'd burn through them in a day, tops. [ they're doomed. ] Maybe she'd try and quit again.

[hellshaped]

[rude] I wouldn't recommend trying to quit anything in this place.
