shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

-laughs, big and boisterous- Duzzn't matter, hyu haz de right reaction ennyvay! See eef hyu ken guess. -eyebrow waggles. His eyebrows are big, bushy and bright red- ideal for waggling-

 

I can knit, if I wanna! I just don't wanna. -playful nose wrinkle in mock disgust-

 

And you don't have to! [Vector sticks out his tongue, like a mature demigod.]

 

-he thinks about it, absently reaching for another cookie-
Maybe. Depends on what you mean by pack - not gonna agree to something if I don't know what I'm getting into.

-he laughs, more amused than bitter-
Let's just say it's an on and off thing.

-nods at her cautiously-

 

-expansive shrug- Ve fight, ve fuck, ve dreenk, ve sleep een de piles. Iz nize.

 

the luckiest.

I like a challenge! But not rows upon rows of infuriating knots!

 

-nyaaah nyer nyer; Primus sticks his tongue out right back because he's equally mature-

 

-rolls his oprics like he has any room to talk-

 

-thinks for a moment more, then abruptly lays down, actually relaxed for the first time since Dick left-
Yeah, okay, I'm up for that. Not forever, but for a little while.

 

Everything. And a little imitation mad science. The stone soup of booze.

 

If it's someone you care about, they're not taking advantage *says Haku, like it should be obvious*

Either way, I'd like you to teach me how to play. *He smiles, cautious, pretty, and genuine.*

*Haku looks perplexed and a little troubled at that.* I don't understand how, if you have someone precious to you, you can want not to be by their side. Or how you could stop caring for someone, and then start again, if that's what you mean.

 

-Mirrors almost literally pounces across to him, dragging his chin and jaw over Jason's head like a cat scentmarking, which is exactly what he's doing- Dere! Now hyu haz sum pack scent! More beer, ve celebrate! -he summons more of the human-palatable stuff and drops a bottle on Jason's chest; apparently agreeing to be temporary pack is grounds for suddenly having a lot of rough but friendly physical contact inflicted-

-laughs again, delighted, and claps- Schmott guy!

 

Aw, kid. Could totally argue with you about that, but I guess now's not the time. -he summons a pack of cards, which shrinks handily down to human size when he passes them to Haku- Know how to shuffle?

 

-wanders in, yawns, displaying all the fangs- Vot haz hyu found diz time Mirrors?

 

"I don't know whether I'm glad, or sad, to have my suspicions confirmed. I've never met a small-g god I liked much, and most of them were parasites." Ford kisses the small cat in his arms on top of her tiny furry head. Lissa is adorable like this. He'll stick to worshipping his Babalon in the flesh of a Talassani woman. "You and I got off on the wrong foot and I think a lot of it was terminology. We don't have 'metas' or 'supers' in the universe I come from, or in the universe she comes from, but we have people with psionic powers and other unusual abilities. They just...they don't dress up in costumes and go out on their own. They tend to keep it under wraps, in most cases. Especially if they're using them to commit crimes."

 

Hy found dis hyuman! He fell out mit hiz pack so hy iz lettink heem join ourz for a beet. -big, innocent eyes. Come join the snugglepile, Mina-

 

I've seen people do it. *Say what you like about being a child assassin, but it gives you quick, skilled hands and a good ability to learn from visual information. Haku manages a passable bridge shuffle.*

 

Oh geez. -he sighs heavily-
Look, kid, you can care about someone and be furious with them at the same time. And you can care about them and fight, and if that happens too much, you're better off with some space if you don't want to ruin the entire relationship.

-as a sign of trust, Jason doesn't even test the beer before opening it and taking a long drink-
Sounds like a plan to me.

-he shrugs-
I wouldn't say it's so much terminology as it was how you come across. It's safe in here for you, but for all I knew you were some new power looking to make a name for himself by trapping me in a mind prison. Wouldn't be the first it happened to someone I know. Now I know I can leave, and that I got some control. That helps. Still not gonna trust you or anyone else straight off.

 

Hey, that's pretty good! Come play with the big boys. -quite suddenly the robots are much more proportionally sized to Haku-

 

"Talk to Alex. It's her hobby, too." Ford grins. "No idea where she went just now, though."

Ford stares at him for a moment. "Don't say things like that in a large group of strangers. They might take you up on it. Or at least, make sure you specify which 'you' you're talking about." He sighs. "And don't say that to my wife unless you really, really mean it."

"It's perfectly understandable that you don't trust anyone new straight off," Ford says, "but no, I wouldn't do that."
