[ The communicator turns on, obviously having been dropped and then stepped on. It shows the ceiling of Midnighter's spaceship, for those who would recognize it. For those who wouldn't, it's a ceiling! Voices are audible offscreen: ]

--Ya got another guy in here, aye? That it, huh? Ya'll be sorry if I find out yer cheatin' on me, ya cunt!

[ And there's the sound of doors opening and closing, looking for someone. ]

For fuck's sake, no and no. [ Midnighter sounds so exasperated I don't even. ] I'm not cheating on you. [ Beat. ] I'm not dating you, shithead! I'm ma-- you know what? We're not going there. I'm just going to murder you. Stand still.

This him? In the picture? Hate t'be the one to tell ya this, honey, but he looks pure queer. C'mon, aye, let's not fight. Give us a ki-- whoa, awright, enough o' that!

[ Briefly Mirror Master is in view before he disappears against one of the walls, shouting one more thing: ] I'll give ya some time t' cool off, then!

( Green is McCulloch, regular font is Midnighter. There will be no replies from Evan here (or for a while) since he forgot his communicator BUT YOU CAN TALK TO MIDNIGHTER. )

[dasfjlewarkl scowling, this is not funny OKAY]

[trickier]

[ okay hold on he'll try to stop laughing (with great difficulty) ]

Sorry, sorry, it's just— [ haah ] I know that asshole and that was [ pfft ] hilarious.

[bringerofwar]

[oh possible useful information PLEASE]

Seriously, where the fuck does he come from? He's been bothering me all goddamn week.

[trickier]

All week? [ oh no that makes him lose it again. only now he's doubling over, clutching at his sides as his shoulders shake with silent laughter.

do give him a moment. ]

Oh God— [ WHEEZE ] That's Mirror Master, he's from Keystone City. He can use reflections to move around.

[bringerofwar]

I figured out the reflections part.

[AUGH THAT LAUGHING HURTS HIM ON THE INSIDE]

What the fuck is his damage? I'm going to make him swallow his own goddamn teeth if he doesn't back the hell off.

[trickier]

[ THE LAUGHING ISN'T ON YOUR PART OKAY ]

Drugs. I'd say a really bad trip, but it's doubtful that lasts an entire week. [ snort ] So hell if I know what got into him. He's not one to bat for the other team either. Usually.

[bringerofwar]

He your friend, or what?

[trickier]

Hell no! He's more like a former colleague.

[bringerofwar]

He's going to be formerly alive really fucking soon.

[trickier]

Gotta catch him first. Good luck with that.

[bringerofwar]

That's helpful.

[trickier]

Cover your reflective surfaces and don't keep anything shiny is the only advice I can give you.

[bringerofwar]

Do you know how many fucking surfaces are reflective? I'm not going to live in a cave.

[trickier]

I know. Hence the good luck wishing.
