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.

[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".]

[onlyanapple]

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

[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.

[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.]

[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.]

[originalcopy]

So, did you get out to find any eggs?

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?

[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.

[onlyanapple]

Not even space booze? You cheapskate.

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

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.

Re: Action

[i_got_this]

[South lets herself in, carrying a big jug of juice, and swings it around to set on his table.]

Good morning, Brother! [Not really going to mask how happy she is to see him.]

Action

[ol_northy]

Well, then. What's got you in a good mood?

[He just shakes his head. Please don't say anything untoward or personal, South. Still, immediately off he goes to the kitchen, because he's freaking starving.]

Action

[i_got_this]

Are you kidding? Favorite breakfast! How could I not be excited for that?

[She takes a seat and leans her elbows on the table, watching him with a good natured smirk. This is what she missed.] So why're you in armor already? Plan on doing some training later or what?

Action

[ol_northy]

I didn't think you were gonna show. If you'd been fifteen minutes later, you would've missed me.

[A shrug.] I honestly.. Figured you'd show up some time in the evening with apologies.

Re: Action

[i_got_this]

You just said 'breakfast', you didn't give me a time. I've still got a half-hour. [According to South's sense of time and food.]

[But her expression turns serious. After all she'd done she's hurt that he thinks she'd blwo him off like that.] What made you think I'd miss breakfast with you?

Action

[ol_northy]

Well... How many times have I seen you wake up at four in the afternoon? And when we look at your concept of breakfast, which usually falls in a six-hour time frame after you wake up... You have to admit, my logic was pretty sound.

[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.

[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?
