Yeah. I saw that-- Jesus, man, that's not even desperate.
[Because there's desperate and then there's suicidal. Obviously the werewolf-allergy works differently for vampires in Josh's version of the world--good for them, just vomiting and not internal burning torturous death--but it's still mad.
...Though really, that should be the least of his concern. It's an exchange, right?]
What did you see? Because-- [He laughs, at himself, then, not exactly amused--] Look, there's no good way to ask. Do we just-- sit down and tell each other everything?
voice; licks ur face. also do you wanna scoot to a log!! or inbox it
[ the continued disbelief is the best outcome, and whatever passing tension almost interrupted their little reunion is dropped quickly. ]
Is that... yeah, fine, we can sit down, share our mutual violation of each other's brains over a beer. [ awful phrasing. whatever, he's over it. ] But just so you don't have a heart attack in the meantime, I didn't see you eating babies or anything. [ which is a joke. which he realizes is a distinct possibility a beat later, because vampires, who the fuck knows. ] Just— don't bother confirming or denying that. I never said it.
voice; you've ruined me i read scoot and was like WAIT BUT THIS IS JOSH NOT SCOTT also i will log
[...wow, Josh. There's the old masterful turn-of-phrase selection at work once more, it's been too long. But it all actually comes out--sort of reassuring? Mitchell't not exactly pleased at anyone knowing anything in detail about him--people being in his head, not really something anyone in their right mind would be comfortable with--maybe it's the memories he got from Josh that help him to feel only a little surge of paranoia, one that's easier to settle than the others have been.]
Yeah. Might want to ask your witch if she can help you with your conversational skills, while she's at it. [Not amused but very nearly amused, and a little more at ease. Poor stammering word choices are familiar.] But I'm not so offended that I'm going t' turn down a beer, if you've got time for the space pub.
He. And not a witch. [ said sarcastically, because it's not like josh actually cares what the creepy magical dude wants to be called. ] And I think that's a little outside of his purview.
[ it's a bit weird to be talking about getting a drink with mitchell, all things considered, but better to get this over with than awkwardly dance around it like they have everything else. ]
voice; |8 ???????
