You know what I liked about space? It was dangerous, and you knew how it was dangerous. You knew without proper maintenance you could die a million different ways, or you could run into the Covvies, or whatnot. You respected it.

Castle Shithouse, here, there's no way. Danger happens whenever the fuck it feels like, however the fuck it feels like, and alien plasma guns are just as likely to fry you as send you to your bathtub. [Which is where she ended up but whatever.]

So fuck you, castle. You're just a big baby who goes on stupid tantrums. Not a real adversary, like space.

Filtered to North

Speaking of tantrums ... could we just, uh, forget ... what happened earlier? [You know. Her tantrum? She's sorry she made him feel bad.]

[He's still not very happy with her, but what would his life be if he didn't routinely forgive her?]

It's fine. Don't mention it.

[What would her life be if she didn't routinely piss everyone off]

Great. Thanks.

[She's just going to go sulk now because she just wants things back the way they were.]

Filtered

[ol_northy]

Did you want to have breakfast in the morning? My treat. I'll make your favorite.

Filtered

[i_got_this]

[... oh come on, North, how is she supposed to properly sulk if you offer stuff like that.]

Yeah. I'll bring the juice.

Filtered

[ol_northy]

[She can't, and that way he doesn't ever have to fake an apology.]

I'll see you in the morning, then. Bright and early, okay?

Filtered

[i_got_this]

I'll set my alarm.

[She's going to be late. But, she'll be there. With juice.]

Filtered

[ol_northy]

Don't be late.

[He knows. he knows.]

Action?

[i_got_this]

[Yeah she's showing up in the vicinity of 11:30. If this were a McDonald's she'd be throwing a fit that they weren't serving breakfast anymore.]

[She shifts the juice in her arms so she can knock on the door, three loud, fist-heavy raps,] Hey, you in there?

Action

[ol_northy]

[He meant, like, 7 AM. But she runs on South time and not Twin time, so he's there, awake, reading a nice book and hanging out with Theta when she arrives.]

Off you go, Theta. Sorry. Don't think she's quite ready yet.

[Theta tosses up a little salute and blinks out of sight.

...You know, he's way too used to this armor. He could consider lounging in something else, but that's way too easy. Plus, it's South.]

Come on in.

[originalcopy]

Wonderfuck strikes again. But of all the castle bullshit so far... I didn't mind that one so much.

Beats being old and dealing with York's senile ass.

[He actually managed to have some fun. Between space tag with York and camping out in the observation room getting drunk with her. Fun was had. He honestly couldn't remember the last time he just "had fun".]

[i_got_this]

God yeah, I'll take space over seniors any day.

[It'd been a while since she actually enjoyed one of the castle's shenanigans.]

[originalcopy]

So, did you get out to find any eggs?

[i_got_this]

We're a little old for that, aren't we?

[originalcopy]

What, magic pies are worth asking around for, but magic chocolate eggs aren't worth your time?

Guess that means you're not interested in my extras.

[i_got_this]

I'm not rooting through the bushes like a five year old, sorry. I don't have any problem asking others who want to do that to give me their extras; I'll take whatever you don't want.

[originalcopy]

Pfft... York got me in a tag match on the station. Picking up a couple of eggs while I go for my walk is nowhere near as embarrassing as zero-g tag.

I'll swing by your room on my way back. Assuming that's alright with you.

[i_got_this]

Yeah, you might have to leave them by the door. I'm living in town, now.

[onlyanapple]

Oh, so that's where you were. Space.

[i_got_this]

Yup. Sorry I didn't bring you a souvenir, the place was kind of a dump.

[But at least it was space. She definitely sounds in a better mood than late.]

[onlyanapple]

Not even space booze? You cheapskate.

[The happier mood is certainly something he is noting. Yep]

[i_got_this]

Trust me, it wasn't that great.

[It was at least something, though.]

If you're that upset I'll get you a beer in town, yeah?

[onlyanapple]

I suppose that will just have to do.

[i_got_this]

It's so horrible, I know. You got a preference or should I just pick the first disgusting dive bar I find?

[onlyanapple]

I like your suggestion, let's go with that.

[i_got_this]

Got it. I'll let you know what I find.
