002 | accidental voice

[solar_absorber]

[There's a dull thud as the comm falls to the floor and turns on. At first there's only a background noise of voices too low to hear. A television playing in the background.]

And Midnighter, that one is Damon, Stefen's younger brother. He's the "bad vampire" with the attitude that all the girls fall for. But he's secretly a good guy deep down. Sound familiar?

[Just. A suspiciously pained sigh.] I'm pretty sure this is considered torture in at least five states.

[He gets a laugh is response.]Oh stop being such a drama queen. We're only a couple of seasons behind. We'll catch up in no time.

[Even more dramatic this time:] Oh god. I thought you loved me. [beat] ... You are kidding, right? Apollo?

The show is in it's third season, this is only the first. Didn't I mention that? [Pause.] Must have slipped my mind.

You did it on purpose, you ass. [Grumpy muttering, followed by a bit of fabric rustling.] We're not watching all of that tonight.

So it's my fault I have to trick you into watching TV with me?[A click is heard as the TV is turned off.] Fine. But tomorrow we're picking up right where we left off.

There are no words for how much I wish I could still get drunk. [Suspicious pause, now that the TV isn't making noise anymore:] Do you hear that? Someone's phone is on. [Beat.] Oh, come on.

[suspiciously he can tell you've been laughing]

I see you conspiring with him down there.

man what next shaking a cane at me?

[futurebatwoman]

Conspiring feels like too strong a word. I'd say... conversing jovially?

yeah and if you're good i might offer you some werther's in a bowl

[bringerofwar]

Yes. That.

It makes me suspicious.

oh gosh werther's my favorite!

[futurebatwoman]

I promise it doesn't pose any threat to you?

B) we'll get along fine then

[bringerofwar]

You underestimate him.

<3

[futurebatwoman]

[ amused teasing ]

Okay, enlighten me as how me being friendly to your teammate endangers you.

[bringerofwar]

It endangers my sanity. [BEAT because scream that conversation] And he's my husband.

[futurebatwoman]

[ biting back a 'what sanity' comment because uh she dresses up as a bat pretty sure she's not allowed to make that one. ] I can't be friendly to your husband without endangering your sanity? You make life so difficult.

[bringerofwar]

[dsfalkjaewr clearly running out of excuse] Quit questioning my rhetoric, damnit.

[futurebatwoman]

No no, I question everyone's rhetoric. It's a whole thing with me, right up next to being irritatingly lovable and a menace to society. [ and occasionally far too self-assured for her own good, but hey. ]
