old muse is old. and indignant.

[revvedup]

Oh, that's real sweet. You ignore me for over a year, suddenly get to feeling nostalgic, and I'm supposed to, what - drop everything and stand at your beck and call because you decide you miss me? Like I've got nothing better to do than indulge your every whim.

[ never mind that she doesn't, aside from hanging around in 'my canon was canceled on a cliffhanger' limbo. ]

And don't think that paying for my account's gonna make me any more cooperative. Call me when you've actually got something for me to do.

Ain't it usually a good thing when someone misses you?

[revvedup]

Usually, yeah. With this one? Probably not.

[halfsack]

What, she's some kind of a psycho girlfriend or something?

[revvedup]

It's a little more...involved than that.

You're here, don't you know what the drill is with typists?

[halfsack]

Not really? Mine's pretty nice to me, apparently some horrible shit happens back in Charming and this is supposed to be a breather. Could be worse, you know?

I mean, you're not getting shot up at least.

[revvedup]

Been there, done that.

[ twice. ]

[halfsack]

That's some fucked up shit. [ Gotta respect a girl who can work her way 'round a gun, though. ] You made it out okay.

[revvedup]

[ she can, she just refuses to. because of the aforementioned times she was shot up and her sister getting shot to death in front of her when she was a child. ]

Yeah.

[ but not without help. ]

[im_apimp]

Mine has suggestions. I really don't think you want to hear them.

[revvedup]

Are they really her suggestions, or are you trying to pin them on her so I won't get pissed at you?

[im_apimp]

Considering you make it your life's mission to make sure I never have any fun, why would I want you anywhere? Teleios is boring enough, I don't to add you as the Fun Police on top of it.

[Besides, he's starting a fight club. You probably wouldn't approve.]

Besides, I can look out for Joshua just fine.

[revvedup]

[ she really wouldn't, even if things are different for their kind wherever he is. ]

Joshua's there? [ interest suddenly piqued! ] What's Teleios? Are you both holding up okay?

[im_apimp]

Some kind of weird city. Kidnapped by gods, be a better person, blah blah blah. There's another X5 there too, Kali. She got out when you set everybody loose.

[he shrugs.]

I'm good. Joshua's not showing up for a couple days, though.

[revvedup]

Sounds like they're forming a collection. [ she's not sure she likes the sound of that. ] How exactly do they get you to become a better person?

[im_apimp]

Everybody's got debt going in - presumably based off things you've done. It's kind of like jail - you do your time and at the end you get to go to "Utopia."

[revvedup]

Has anyone reached Utopia since you've arrived?

[im_apimp]

Yeah. This old dude named Cyrus, but according to him he was there for like ... fifty years or something.
