so when i said i was taking some time off, this really wasn't what i had in mind

[two months.

two months since that jump. two months since he tried to burn his bridges and put some distance between the man he'd become on the ship (because of her) and the person he was meant to be (because of them). two months and a whole new set of numbers and no new memories to explain his absence.

he's done his research, once again. he knows just how long has passed since he last scrambled in to his pod for the jump. he knows that the list of losses has grown. (wichita. cobb. even xavier). that the ship has been playing games with the passengers again. that they once again docked with a space station and he wasn't around for any of it.

what he doesn't know is why he's been pulled back again. why the fuck the ship decided it was worth bothering with him. it's not like it was getting anything out of him. right?]

guess the tq can't get enough of me huh
t(-_-t)
stark (the annoying one with a hard on for machines) i know you missed me
you can quit crying now

[because there's no way he's giving up a chance like this. oh, and while he's at it-]

scooby doo, where are you?
and maybe scrappy too

[sorry lydia]

That's the spirit. Now say, I missed you, Daphne.

[target]

i missed you daphne
better?

[chuffle]

I missed you too, Sunshine.

Better.

Did the kitty come with you?

[target]

i guess i shouldn't point out that i never knew i left till i saw my number changed right?

she should still be here
unless she got eaten

[chuffle]

You should miss me during Jumps, I'm that lovable.

I hope she didn't. Damn, I should have checked.

[target]

i'll do my best to remember next time

she's tough
pretty sure she can take on anything here

[chuffle]

That hardly means I want her wandering around, eating demons for lunch.

[target]

she only had a tiny dog to contend with
no demons

[chuffle]

Ohhh there were demons.

[target]

if you're talking about the monster shit i already know
she would've been kept in one room though
so no demons

[chuffle]

News around this place travels fast.

[target]

not like there's much else to do here
well
when shit's not actively out to kill you at least

[chuffle]

You could take up boxing.

I took up boxing.

[target]

pass on the boxing
i prefer straight up fights
anything goes

[chuffle]

You could always fight me.

[target]

you're still learning and i'm not exactly the best at holding back

[chuffle]

I'm a tough little thing. Come on. If you beat the crap out of me, I'll concede I was wrong.

[target]

that's not exactly what i was getting at

[chuffle]

And yet.

[target]

i don't get off on beating people up
just putting that out there

[chuffle]

Do you need help getting off?

Because I'm available for that, too.

Just putting it out there.

[target]

you really need to work on your pick up lines

[and this would be the point where he locks down the conversation cause. yeah. let's not do this out in the open okay]

also seriously
you're making this sound shady as fuck

private;

[chuffle]

How is it shady? I've been here, what, seven months? Eight? I haven't gotten laid, so I turned to fighting.

And unless you're secretly 17 or younger, then I don't think it's illegal.
