Aha. I absolutely knew you'd miss me.

But sending me back to space? [a beat. He's going to take a bite out of an apple now. Add a shrug to the equation.] Eh. There are worse things out there, aren't there.

[...]

Aren't there?

[onetouch]

You'd certainly fit in.

[bonus]

I am quite exquisite at adapting, I won't deny that.

And how have you been fairing since my departure?

[He stalked you a bit around the network, back then. Maybe.

Definitely.]

[onetouch]

I'm actually a new me, and not the one you... knew. [ homophones. ]

[bonus]

Is that so! You people are making it harder for me to keep up.

[onetouch]

If it's any consolation, it's not any easier to follow on the inside.

[bonus]

You know - I was going to talk to you, last time. Or the other you, I suppose. I wasn't too sure how you'd react, though.

[onetouch]

Other-me might not have been so calm.

[bonus]

[Oh my.]

And why is that?

[onetouch]

He wasn't as... seasoned as I am in, realties that aren't our own.

[bonus]

So you do have some experience with them. [hm!] Makes it a little easier for me, then. I actually wondered if you might have been another me, for a while.

[onetouch]

...Another you. Are you familiar with any, other yous? Or rather, do you know any? Any you would be familiar by default.

[bonus]

Can't say I've met any, but I am more than familiar with the concept! Comes with the job, you know. Hopping from one reality to another, things like that.

It's a shame, really. I was wondering what that would be like.

[onetouch]

Sorry to disappoint.

[bonus]

Oh no, not at all! I'm sure you're very interesting too.

[ :) ]

[commission]

I'd rather our heap of junk be stranded in the middle of nowhere than end up on that ship again, but yeah, I guess there are worse things.

[ does she sound convinced






nope ]

[bonus]

[be still my beating heart]

We did get a complimentary warm bed, at least.

[commission]

Yeah, real five star accommodation with just a cosy hint of "this place might fold in on itself and crush us all tomorrow for all we know". [ arching her brows ] But the beds were all right.

[bonus]

[Oh, Iseile. What is he going to do without your sarcasm to brighten his days!]

Like you could ever stick around without a chunk of life-endangering excitement to keep you on your toes.

[commission]

[ have withdrawal symptoms and miss her terribly, i suspect!! ]

As though any of us had much of a choice except to stick around when we were there.

[bonus]

We did have a choice. Either let the place get the better of us or do the best with our time!

[Yes, he is being irritatingly optimistic just to annoy you.]

[commission]

You sound like you just crawled out of a bad made-for-tv film. Very disturbing.

[ idiot ]

[bonus]

Is it my dashing smile?
