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.

[ because she is laughing her ass off and has the sanity to not let him know that. ]

i hear it's a great show

ps he's talking about you with the good guy deep down thing

voice because phone keyboards are too tiny and he's a crotchety old man

[bringerofwar]

[betrayal!!] Goddamnit Max, you're supposed to be on my side.

voice

[solar_absorber]

It's a great show. He's just being stubborn.

voice

[bringerofwar]

I'm not stubborn, I'm right.

fine then voice they are not THAT TINY okay

[futurebatwoman]

[ maintaining some semblance of control and seriousness please don't make her laugh again ]

I can't help it if I realize he has a point!

oh fine voice it is for everyone then

[futurebatwoman]

It's a skill of his. I've been meaning to watch it, is it really that good?

voice - aren't they, like, in the same room? pfff fail

[solar_absorber]

Of course you are. In your our head.

[solar_absorber]

It's more like a lifestyle for him.

It's great actually. Solid writing and the story is really starting to pick up.

[futurebatwoman]

[ so amused. ] Oh, well, I try not to judge.

Hm. I may have to give it a go if I get some free time.

whatever get off my lawn they are darn small!!

[bringerofwar]

[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?

voice dsfaljkwae hush they're totally cool

[bringerofwar]

You're the one who made me watch Twilight. You get no say.

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

[bringerofwar]

Yes. That.

It makes me suspicious.

[futurebatwoman]

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

[couldbeavoided]

[ Still sitting in the Mansion basement. ]

What show is that?

B) we'll get along fine then

[bringerofwar]

You underestimate him.

permavoice

[bringerofwar]

[B( he doesn't want to put his cowl back on tonight]

Christ. I can't believe I have to say something this-- [brace yourself] "The Vampire Diaries." Someone, somewhere named something "The Vampire Diaries," and they got paid to do it.

That's the world we live in, Sentry.

<3

[futurebatwoman]

[ amused teasing ]

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

[couldbeavoided]

[ BOOOOOOO. ]

Vampire... diaries? [ Trying to picture that. ] Do they write them in blood or something?

[bringerofwar]

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

[bringerofwar]

[You can practically hear him throwing his hands up in the air.] No! They don't do anything. They go to high school.

This is torture.

[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.

[megalopolitan]

[ AHAHAHA He's dying ]

Quality programming.

voice

[solar_absorber]

You're the one who secretly enjoyed it. Your eyes were practically glued to the screen.

[solar_absorber]

You should, it's worth it.

[And then they can have long, deep discussions about it in front of Midnighter and drive him insane.]
