dear_mun | forever homeless, but entertaining the idea of him at tushanshu

[ At his core, he kind of expects it, because the idea of an Turtle Island is a little too overboard after everything else. See, Lincoln could handle the brand of surrealism that came with Fringe Division, but there was still a line and this was crossing it.

Still, the idea of Lincoln not being entirely comfortable with the idea? Worth it. ]

Funny you should say that. I don't think that counts as a nine to five anymore. [ More like 24 hour time consuming. ]

Still, would have figured you'd sign up if Agent Dunham did.

[ There's a short sigh because as much as being stuck on a time/space traveling turtle sounds like the last thing on his bucket list to do, and while he'd rather have Liv or Charlie or Broyles there with him, other-him isn't exactly a bad deal. A little on the awkward side, but he's bright, and a good agent as far as the shape-shifter case had been going. And there's honestly a lot of sneaking you can do with an exact replica. ]

Liking getting the On-Call schedule of a doctor with none of the incredible paychecks, benefits, or crazy housewives wanting to marry their daughters to you.

[ Seriously, he does not get paid enough for this. ] If Liv did, yeah, sure, but that's not part of the deal I'm getting offered here.

I'd probably hazard a guess that it does. Kinda figured you one for the adrenaline rush, not the benefits.

[ A life more exciting than his own, he figures, but even after everything that's been done, it's always seemed like Lincoln lived a life infinitely more exciting than his own. ]

I don't blame you though, [ He continues, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. ] wanting to stick to Liv. [ It could be Lincoln teasing the other guy, but he isn't brave enough to fully let that happen. ] Makes tolerating anything kinda out there bearable.

Yeaaah, I wake up at three AM to investigate really gross and tragic murders because I like the rush. [ Not said scathingly, just with a ':| Lincoln pls' face. You make his life more thrilling that it is. Starting out in Fringe had been terrifying, and in some aspects, you never really get past that completely, sitting in front of an activated canister of Amber and listening to a countdown to initiation hoping to whatever god is listening that someone will call it off, but still knowing you won't make a break for it even if they don't. Adrenaline rush, sure, but making light with Liv and the others is him dealing with it, not him so much enjoying it.

Granted, there is something about car chases that is freaking awesome, though. ]

More the point of I don't like Liv having to be on her own. [ A lazy shrug, and it's weird to talk about, but Talking isn't so much an issue from him as it seems to be for his alternate self. ] Not that she can't handle it - she's an incredible agent, and a hell of a lot stronger than me when it comes to stomaching this shit. [ A short laugh and he glances down at his hands, considering, before there's another lame shrug ] Just don't like the thought of her being alone, I guess.

Edited 2013-06-10 02:37 (UTC)

Funny. We couldn't be further from each other, and yet they're still practically identical.

[ There's nuances of course, that Lincoln's noticed. Peter's Olivia - the only way he distinguishes between them - is still more conservative, less brash about her decisions, but the passion is still there nonetheless.

It still bothers him - hell, everything bothers him lately, that he's standing there face to face with a guy that's basically himself, and he doesn't know how to handle it. Lincoln's a lot more reserved around him than he would be around say, either Peter or Olivia. Even Walter's a bit tolerable when he's high on LSD and a game of chess is underway.

But Lincoln is just unsettling him no matter what. He purses his lips, a sad smile at the realization that in both universes, nice guys always finish last. Peter gets Liv in his word, and Lincoln no doubt gets her in his. ]

That close to her huh? [ Come on Lincoln, he knows you totally have a crush on her. ] You two looked like you had a thing going on.

I can't say I actually know yours much. I mean, she was in our world for a while but-- [ She had all of his Olivia's memories and he was convinced it was her and how could he have missed that and he was so certain at the time ] --it was complicated. I didn't really see much of her.

[ As herself. Outside of her pointing a gun at his face. Or maybe he didn't want to think of the possibility it wasn't his Liv - didn't want to see it. You know, maybe he's not the better adjusted one of the two Lincolns after all, is he?

C-CHOKELAUGH. ] A thing? Uh. No. Not really. She had a guy - Frank. And-- Yeah, there's not a thing. [ Lol Lincoln, don't lie. But while Talking is something he can do, that's a sore spot, and he's not going to go into the whole 'I get jealous when she cheats on her boyfriend with someone who isn't me' thing. He adds on quickly to clarify. ] She's like a sister.

Edited 2013-06-10 05:00 (UTC)

I don't know if I should be flattered or offended.

Flattered works better for me, so let's go that way. You'd do better on a tropical turtle island better than me anyway. [ shrug ] I don't tan, I burn.

[ She snorts at that. ] I'm sure they'll have some kind of protection for you there, Lincoln. [ Her hand claps down on his shoulder as she grins. ] If that place is anything like the deathtrap I had been sent to, sunburns will be the last of your worries, anyway.

[ a chuckle at that and he gives her a mock shoulder-punch ] Protection for my delicate self. This flawless face isn't easy to maintain, okay? [ He quirks an eyebrow at the last part of that ] Deathtrap? Since when are you jumping into deathtraps without me?

Edited 2013-06-11 00:31 (UTC)

It's not so flawless, either. [ If her grin's anything to go by, she definitely doesn't believe that. ] Trust me, if I had any choice in the matter, you would've been right there beside me. [ Not "I wouldn't have gone." Oh, no, nothing like that. ]

Oh, ouch. No need to be jealous just 'cause you're not the prettiest on the team. [ ah, shittalk. The love language of Fringe Division. His expression shifts to a lopsided half-smile with some kid of endearment hiding in it, his tone sincere. ] You know I would've been there in a second if I knew.

Edited 2013-06-11 17:36 (UTC)

Please; we both know if anyone's the prettiest, it's Charlie. [ That's such a lie, but she knows that arguing over her being the prettiest instead of Lincoln could just end in a five year olds' "No, me!" sort of argument. Teasing or not, Liv's not really the sort to go there. She smiles in return, though, nodding slightly because she does know. ] Doesn't really matter now since my girl pulled me out've there at the tail end of last year, but I appreciate it.

[ a laugh near on a childish snicker. ] Dare you to call him pretty to his face. [ Bless Charlie and his manliness, it's just too easy to poke fun at him. He's nodding, satisfied with that, and despite how well he knows Liv can take care of herself, it's a relief to hear. ] Good. Probably kicked a little too much ass and got a time out, huh?

How much are you gonna give me if I do it? [ Because if the payment's good enough, she will. She lets out a huff. ] Something like that. [ Except not even close, but the details don't really matter. ] It looks like I just might be joining you, though.

I'll owe you Chinese take out, that work? [ food as currency has always seemed like a good deal to him at least. And honestly he'd probably be up for buying her food without. He brightens at the idea that she'll be around, and mate it'll mean she'll be in a difficult situation but 'difficult situation' is practically their job description. He'll be a hell of a lot better off with her around. ] I wouldn't turn down the company. Not that Other-Lincoln isn't good for conversation. [ It's just not really the same as Best Friend. ]

Though Giant Turtle might be a step down from Deathtrap.

Edited 2013-06-11 20:35 (UTC)

Make it Chinese and a six pack. [ After all, she'll be telling Charlie he's pretty. That requires more than some food. The way he brightens makes her do much the same, her smile growing wider. ] Other-Lincoln, huh? This place sure is gonna be interesting. [ And headache-inducing. ]

Honestly? I'll take the step down. Gladly.

For real? [ this is Lincoln 'gurl pls' face, but it's only there for a moment before he caves. ] Alright, fine, but I better get at least one, maybe two of those bottles. There's a fee for shipping and handling. [ Sigh, at least if they need to do any kind of sneaking there can be an advantage of having a doppleganger. And Lincoln from the other side isn't exactly a bad agent - pretty damn good, if he has to admit. ] You won't have an issue telling us apart. Just look for that sad puppy face he's always wearing.

We'll call it a training exercise. Shouldn't be too difficult. [ minus the huge scary evil that's going to kill everyone, turtle included, but he's not exactly aware of that yet. ]

I think I can manage that. [ She'd been planning on sharing, anyway. To that last part, however, she laughs. ] But what do I do when you get that look on your face?

I really hope we're not going to come to regret you saying that. These muns, they're not exactly the type to treat us well. Even if they like us.

[ Bless you, Liv. Oh. And here is his wry half smile of 'omigod don't call me on my shit that is not allowed'. Eyebrows lifted, he shakes his head innocently, shh, he is perfect and manly. ] I don't know what you're talking about, I am way too dashing and masculine for that.

[ He nods, hands shoved in his pants pockets and looks to the side for a second, a heavy exhale leaving him. That's true. But he's never been one for letting how much that's sinking in show. ] We've handled the weird and the dangerous before - it's practically the job description. Granted, this is a little more on the extreme side, but we'll manage. We always do. Okay?

[ Olivia tries to keep a straight face, she really does, but she can't; she laughs, one hand moving to her stomach like she might bust a gut if she's not careful. ] Right, of course.

Yeah, we do, as long as we stick together.

[ There's something like a snicker because Lincoln is a little girl on the inside. ] You're doubting me and that hurts. It hurts, Liv.

[ A warm smile and he nods, looking down. ] Just more weird shit to figure out and get through. Just missing Charlie and his bugs.

Oh, I'm sure. [ She purses her lips slightly in a mock pout. ] You are one of the most sensitive souls I've ever met...

If the rest of us end up there, it shouldn't be too long until he follows.

Tell me, why exactly is that a Liv thing? Is it the acid trip or the magical island, because i'm pretty sure she wouldn't hop on that ride if the option presented itself.

More the dimension hopping tendency, but the acid trip part wouldn't really surprise me either.

Considering what I've heard of your Fringe division. [ Because LSD. :| ]

Look, i'm right there with you on the amount of LSD we manage to go through in a week-- scratch that, my father goes through. But whether or not you want to blame the guy for his methods, he still manages to get the job done.

Which in my books? Is kind of the point.

[ even if he's still iffy about the drug useage, he's still going to argue with you, lincoln. just because he can. ]

[ holding up hands in a 'whatever you say broski, not my division' kind of gesture. ]

All I'm saying is that if it comes to hallucinogenic themed universe jumps, I'm not the one that's the poster child for it.

And speaking of, maybe it should be your father going. LSD included, he'd probably have a better means of dealing with getting out of an alternate universe than any of us.

You actually think sending my father, alone, into an alternate universe is a good idea?

[ seriously. this is the line face to end all line faces. ]

[ shruuuuug ]

Can't deny he would fit in, though, I'm just putting it out there.

But on the same note so would you because, well. Your own personal universe bridging machine. It honestly makes you the best qualified out of all of us.

[ lincoln, you're a shit. ]

At this point i'm just starting to think you're trying to shirk your duties. Thought you came from the more prestigious Fringe division, where you get to be burned to a well done charcoal brick and still manage to make it through to fight another day.

Whether or not i'm the best qualified, if you were the one put up to the job, maybe you should worry about what you're going to do when you get there. Not hoping that one of us'll fill your slot. [ there's some arm folding across his chest and he shrugs. ]

Life's just a bitch, sometimes.

[ oh :B sorry not sorry ]

More prestigious, better funded and higher up on field time, definitely, but the differences being? A) my world does not revolve around the back of a mutant turtle, and B) I'm not getting paid for this, and I don't even get paid enough for the shit I do as it is.

[ shrugging his shoulders and speaking in a frank kind of tone ] My job is to be around to protect my world, not go on magical acid trip adventures into the talking animal twilight zone.

[ how do you know your world doesn't revolve around the back of a turtle, huh? HOW DO YOU KNOW, AGENT LEE. ]

Well, now apparently it is your job. [ so there. ]

I'll definitely be waiting for your report back on that one.

Edited 2013-06-09 23:08 (UTC)

[ omigod eff u peter, EXCUSE YOU IT IS CAPTAIN NOW OKOK ]

Ahaha. Ha ha. You're hilarious. Yeah well you're not my boss and you're not even my co-worker so good luck seeing it.

[ Unless this becomes shuffled into the files that are getting shared between the agencies on either side of the bridge in the whole combined healing effort thing, in which case he's going to be writing in a side character named Beter Pishop who is constantly fucking everything up always and has stupid hair and a weird chin.

So there. ]

[ peter always thinks he's pretty damn funny, it's just a fact of life by now okay. AND DON'T EVEN, HE'S GOING TO CALL YOU AGENT LEE FOREVER. JUST BECAUSE HE CAN. ]

Didn't you know, there's more than a few benefits of being the son of the Secretary of Defense.

[ bite him. ]

[ OMFG YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE ANYMORE, PETER. ]

Woooow, opportunistic, aren't we, Prodigal Son? Who knew?

[ Lol everyone who has spoken to Peter Bishop longer than like an hour or so, basically. Which is you, Lincoln. Look, no one says shit about the Secretary's son over here, okay :T ]

[ EXACTLY which gives him the prime opportunity to get away with all the shit ever. DEAAL WIITH IIIITTTT. ]

I take it where I can get it. Especially when it comes to entertainment and i'll be first in line for your stories when you get back, Agent. It's been awhile since i've read something good.

[ Sometimes the SoD isn't a major asshole okay. and while Peter wouldn't ever actually abuse those priveleges, it's still pretty funny to think about. Daddy's boy, Peter is not. ]

[ (gfuu) omfg peter bishop you entire life is unfair ]

I didn't realize I had such a fan in you, Bishop. That's almost sweet. You want me to sign if for you when I get back too?

[ peter how did you know shittalking is the redverse fringe team's favorite bonding hobby ]

[ he didn't know, okay, shittalking is just one of his favorite hobbies anyway. this is what happens when you're a career criminal - cough - con man. ]

You sure you're even going to be coming back from this dimensional hopping adventure? Because really, it doesn't matter who the protagonist is, as long as it's a good story. And someone's going to write a report on it, whether or not a fringe event decides to make you its climactic ending.

So i'm pretty sure you can keep your signature to yourself.

[ lololol con man. tell lincoln that someday. he'll die. do you even know how you're regarded in redverse bro ]

I'm really not sure how you're expecting the report to be getting back to you if I don't make it out. Like I said, I'm not getting the rest of my team sent with me.

Want me to just make one up for you? A thrilling bedtime story about how much my vacation is going to suck?

Or you can come with and get a first hand account.

Your Olivia sounds awfully ... adventerous, huh?

Edited 2013-06-12 00:05 (UTC)

Maybe more than's good for her, but I've never seen her not able to handle it.

Edited 2013-06-12 04:03 (UTC)

So, is she a drinker and a partier and all that? LSD, huh? Sure sounds like she is into a little... too much.

[ Had to throw that in there, because it would be oh so convenient for Lincoln to go, "Wait.. Olivia can't stand the taste of booze!" to the above comments. ]

[ Squinting so hard rn ] Nooo, I just meant she's usually the one out in front. She's an employee of the government so LSD isn't really in the picture.

[ Brow furrow here. ] Why? Is that your thing? [ He never really did know the other Olivia much :T ]

Employee of the government too, so, you know, none of that.

Perhaps I took the acid trip line a little too literally, Linc.

[ A short chuckle and he shrugs. ] We do have more fun on this side, but we're still professional, thanks.

Linc? [ That's interesting. Liv's the only one that ever called him that. And on occasion, Charlie. ] Didn't realize we were that close.

It's just ... an abbreviation for your name, that's all. [ She sighs. It's insanely difficult to pretend that you don't even know someone who knows you better than anyone else. Probably dangerous to interact at all, honestly. ]

So, uh, what are things like over there? Any extreme Fringe events that would affect both universes? Any casualties in your team?

[ How do you ask a friend, "I miss you guys, are you okay? Is everything doing well at home?" ... without seeming like you have spoken to them in more than passing? ]
