You'd think you'd get used to being jerked around universes, but it just never sets in right.

[ why, what a cool and laid-back sounding newcomer this is! well, she doesn't sound all that new, but the NV signal is definitely a different one than last time. ]

We're still on 2012, right? I'm hoping not. Music doesn't start sounding good 'til at least 2025.

[ encrypted to Sherlock Holmes: ]

You talked to the last me, right? 'Cuz that so wasn't me.

[ awkward... pause... ]

And... um, hi. Busy?

Comments

[slingshots]

Yeah? Why?

[gammas]

Don't worry about it. Old news.

[slingshots]

That kinda old news, huh.

[gammas]

[ she really doesn't want to talk about this so ]

Talk to Holmesy yet?

[slingshots]

[ SHE SEES THAT SUBJECT CHANGE. she'll let it go this time. ]

'Course. Glad he was still here. —When'd you show again, anyway?

[gammas]

[ huffs ]

About a month ago. Just waiting to be sent back home now.

[slingshots]

Gee, that's a great way to look at it.

[gammas]

Hey, I have to go back at sometime, right?

[slingshots]

Here's to hoping you don't just sit around waiting to die, too.

[ there's a smile in that one, though. JUST TO TAKE THE MORBID EDGE OFF OF IT. ]

[gammas]

[ the wryest of smirks ]

You know that's impossible.

[slingshots]

Same thing here, I figure.

[gammas]

Anyways, got any plans, now that you're here again?

[slingshots]

I'm thinking... lunch, maybe.

[gammas]

Mind if I treat?

[slingshots]

I could probably be convinced.

[gammas]

My presence alone is enough, right?

[slingshots]

You got it. I didn't have enough green in my life, til just now.

[gammas]

I don't think anyone has enough green in their life. There's a really nice cafe that [ uh ] Sherlock and I go to a lot.

[slingshots]

Yeah? [ griiiiinning what's that about, huh ] Where's it at?

[gammas]

[ address ]

You know, if you want to meet up and all.

[slingshots]

I can be there in 45.

[gammas]

I'll see you soon then.

[ ARE WE ACTIONING ]

[slingshots]

[ HELL YEAH WE ARE
BECAUSE CARRIE'S ACTUALLY THERE IN FORTY-THREE MINUTES WHOA
