For the record? This 'mainland' bullshit sucks.

And not in the fun way.

Just saying.

[Somebody looks frazzled and grumpy and god he's putting miles on that pout of his. Because fuck yo' mainland, man.]

Which is exactly why I preferred letting other people handle going there.

[sharpes]

Wow, you've been here for like two minutes and you're already pulling the 'I told you so' bullshit? Sit down.

[He's a little shit, it's all good.]

[Thomas still has some trouble with the whole "getting along with others" thing. Probably all that time in the wild.]

I didn't tell anyone so, I'm just wary of jumping into something like this completely blind. I've been waiting to see any possible reports of what's out there.

[Have one (1) supportive girlfriend waiting until he's done fussing at the network to bring over a cup of cocoa for him; she's already sipping at her cup]

Feeling better now that you've shared your pain with the rest of the city?

[Okay so maybe "supportive" is a bit strong, even if her tone is fond]

[sharpes]

[He takes that cocoa and manages not to glare at her.]

Do you have any idea how close I came to dying? Not cool.

[She hops up to sit on the desk, facing him, with one foot braced against his chair]

Oh, as if. I wasn't gonna let that happen.

[Despite the joking tone she is 500% serious]

[She's almost certain she may regret asking this later, but inquiring minds have to know:]

How exactly would something "suck" in the "fun way"?

[video]

[sharpes]

Vacuum racing competitions. All the rage in Canada.

[Without even missing a beat. Sorry, Zee, he's got a sister your age.]

[video]

[backwordscompatible]

[Well, that went better than she was expecting.]

Actually, that does sound like fun. Sure beats an old-fashioned wooden broom, that's for sure.

[littlecousin]

...You okay?

[Brandon usually broadcasts the most attitude when he's the least stable.]

[video]

[sharpes]

I'm pretty sure one of my shoes is being digested back with canine crazypants but otherwise yeah. You couldn't pay me to go back there though.

[... a pause, and then--]

... Thanks for asking.

[video]

[littlecousin]

No problem.

[Pause. Brandon doesn't do "emotion" well, so...]

You couldn't pay me to go, period.

[She'd totally charge in for free if someone needed saving, though.]

[trainwrecked]

Did you go out for curiosity or did you have something in mind?

[Not that Bucky isn't paying attention to the 'are you all right' conversation, but - he's curious.]

[sharpes]

[Hello, Señor Hotpants.]

Uhh... both? Can I say both?

[trainwrecked]

[Have an easy smile and go ahead and confuse him, that way, it might be actually good for him, if a little startled by the verbal flailing around.]

'course you can. I was just asking if you took up something you had to do that needed finishing up, that's all.

[Since... they're going out there, anyway. He can at least try, right?]

[wholenewstory]

[Not even hiding the smile.] Just...stay with Steph. You'll be fine.

[video | encrypted]

[sharpes]

How can you be so c--

[pause, over his shoulder to Steph,]

How can she be so calm!?

[NO SERIOUSLY HOW.]

[video]

[notpredictable]

My, my. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

[video]

[sharpes]

[Oh, he's blue. NBD one of his best friends is a giant walking red-skinned skeleton.]

More like, was chased there by an evil dog creature with no skin that wanted to eat me.

[video]

[notpredictable]

...How positively foul. However did you manage that?

[no really give him deets maybe he can use this]

[video]

[hackingyoursensors]

How could it suck in the fun way?

[Beat.] Actually, don't answer that.

[He's a high school freshman. With internet access. He can figure it out.]

What's so bad about the mainland anyway?

[video]

[sharpes]

Like I said, vacuum competitions. It's a Canadian thing. Everyone knows they're crazy. It has to do with the amount of sunlight they don't get or something, I don't know.

[And then, ugh, dramatic expression.]

It's a desert. No beaches. Crazy monsters. Looks like something out of a horror movie. I've been in at least three, I should know.

[Extremely bad B-movie sequels but he's not mentioning that part.]

[video]

[hackingyoursensors]

Uh huh. [Please like he buys that.]

You're an actor?

audi

[iwaspromisedtea]

Come across something you didn't like?

[ A REAL SUPERVILLAIN MAYHAPS? ]

[sharpes]

Your minion army.

[yeah he's saying that just to be a dick.]
