Don't you think you're rushing into things a bit?

[ someone has to be the voice of reason in all this. ]

I get it. You're excited and I — I guess I'm flattered. But only once I ignore how absolutely insane this whole thing is.

Give it some time, a week at least, like you were thinking. Maybe things will finally start to make some sense by then. [ sigh ] Plus, you could get a better idea of when to take me from.

Deal?

Things may be worse by next week.

[argentite]

Or things could finally take a turn for the better.

[ Her and Scott — well, they've been working on it!! Even though it's not necessarily the kind of thing she can admit to her dad when he's explicitly told her that they were staying out of things. ]

[argyros]

[ He's in the same boat when it comes to things they're both supposed to be staying out of but are totally investigating anyway. But she knows that. ]

I'm not sure that's possible. Too many things we don't know, and only unreliable people to tell us about them.

[argentite]

[ the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, of course. ]

Maybe it's time we took charge instead of waiting for something to happen.

[gravedigs]

Can I vote for any time when you weren't into stabbing people like me with kn- chinese ring daggers?

[argentite]

I didn't know I was still apologizing for that.

[gravedigs]

It was just a suggestion.

[argentite]

Would it help if I said it's been noted?

[gravedigs]

Maybe. [ Totally!! ] Where's your - uh - writer going to send you?

[argentite]

She hasn't made up her mind yet. There's one place she keeps thinking about, but I think that might just be because she likes the idea of giving me some made up ridiculous superpower.

[ not exactly the most promising of things in her opinion, but she didn't know how this whole thing worked. ]

Have you got [ uhm ] one of those places?

[gravedigs]

Don't knock superpowers till you've tried them.

Not yet, but she's looking at some places, I guess. [ None of which offer sweet new superpowers, which he's pretty bummed about. ]

[argentite]

I wouldn't if life was a comic book.

[ then again, werewolves? things back home were already pretty surreal. who was she to laugh at the idea of super powers? ]

Hopefully yours finds you someplace nice.

[gravedigs]

Come on. It practically is.

[ Maybe he just wants it to be. You're talking to a bonafide comic book nerd Allison, there is no hope for you. ]

Thanks. I'm hoping for the magical castle, apparently that's on the table. Uh, good luck with your superpowers.
