Hey. Have you gone outside yet? If not, get ready I'll be there in a few minutes.

[ you ready for a fun time out with your best friend? i know conner is ]

Comments

[detectivegenius]

... What happens if I say yes? [Gets the feeling Conner will make him come out anyway.]

[selfdom]

Too bad. Now stop talking and get dressed I'm waiting.

[detectivegenius]

And what should I dress in for this particular outing? [Knows it's no use protesting, Conner will just fly through his window or something anyway.]

[selfdom]

I don't know, casual? Jeans and a shirt?

You're going to show me around this place. [ because stephanie said not to keep you inside all the time ]

[detectivegenius]

I'll go only if you do me a favor while we're out.

[selfdom]

Alright. What is it?

[detectivegenius]

I'll tell you later when we're face to face and not inside the castle. Just promise?

[selfdom]

Alright Bruce.

So, you ready to go yet?

[detectivegenius]

I'll meet you in the lobby in 15 minutes.

1/2

[selfdom]

Meet ya there.

2/2

[selfdom]

[ and here we go have the supe in a plaid shirt and jeans cause he'd assume wearing the bright read 'S' would be a bit much

so he'll be waiting by the stairs for his best friend ]

[detectivegenius]

[He's already waiting there by the time Conner arrives, leaning against a wall, hands in his pockets, wearing a jacket with the hood up.]

[selfdom]

I'm not sure I want to know how you beat me here.

Anyway. [ smiles ] Start the tour.

[detectivegenius]

Maybe I was already dressed and ready to go before we started talking. [He smiles slightly back then waves for him to follow him, heading outside.]

[selfdom]

Hope I didn't steal you away from someone else, but if I did, too late go back now.

So, what's first on the list? I know this castle and the grass around it.

[detectivegenius]

Yes, my computer was so jealous. She hates me now, it's terrible. She says she'll never forgive me and it's over between us. Look what you've done, Conner. I might actually shed a tear. [Says this all completely deadpan.]

[selfdom]

Don't worry, when she kicks you out you can sleep under my bed. It's got enough space your skinny butt.

[detectivegenius]

You know, a true friend would offer up their bed to the guest and sleep on the floor themself.

[selfdom]

I'm not giving you my bed. I'll get you some hammock materials if you really want.

[detectivegenius]

I guess it's better than a rooftop and if I've slept on those before, I suppose I can make due with a hammock. [Elbows him in the side a little.]

[selfdom]

[ laughs, nudging him back ]

I bet underneath my bed would be much more comfortable, but regardless, I'll be there to comfort you in your heartbreak.

[detectivegenius]

[He's snickering now.] Hold me, Conner, I can't go on without her. There's no meaning in my life anymore. [He shakes his head slowly, grinning.]

Man, I really missed you.

[selfdom]

It's okay buddy, there are other fish in the sea.

[ heh ] It's nice to be around people I care about. I'm just happy you're okay. Well, better then a week or so ago.

[detectivegenius]

[Looks down at the ground.] Yeah... Me too. I'm sorry I put you through that. [It's probably the zillionth time he's apologized but it still probably won't be the last.]

[selfdom]

[ shit sorry this took so long ]

Don't be sorry to me, be sorry about yourself. [ puts an arm around his shoulders ]

Maybe you're getting sloppy? [ grins a little ]

[detectivegenius]

[Rolls his eyes.] I'll just need to practice more then. Want to volunteer as a punching bag? [He's joking. He'd probably break his hand if he tried to punch Conner and he knows it.]

[selfdom]

Only if you feel like breaking a few fingers. [ there's no going easy on friends :) ]

So I miss anything while I was gone? Or you were gone.

[detectivegenius]

I'll heal.

What's the last thing you remember from home...?

[selfdom]

Well... Cass and her mom got taken by some creature while we went to see Solstice. We ended up in some jungle, you got kidnapped and that's about it.

Remember any of that?

[detectivegenius]

[He nods.] My last memories are from some time after that. Not much long after, but we've already gotten out of that mess.

[selfdom]

[ scratches his head but isn't sure he wants to know ]

I'll just take your word for it then.
