[The feed opens up to Deadpool sitting at a table with a few empty bottles of booze, some broken glass. There is a tiredness in his body, slumped over and just kind of sitting there in the shadows. He drags a knife across the desk absentmindedly for a moment]

You know, I wonder what it would be like to live in a bubble. I mean, not individually, but like all together, in some bubbly wubbly place. We'd all be just like... surrounded by softness and rainbows. Instead of citizens or whatever, we'd just be like the bubblefolk, and farm our water and marshmellows.

[He twirls the knife around, and then hurls it across the room into the wall]

Thats not the kind of world we are in here though. Its hard, rough, full of danger. No matter how powerful or trained you are, there are some things which can hurt you here, and people you care about.

[He didn't know if she would be able to recover, but it was for the best for now]

For those of you who do care, Jubilee is dead. She died of wounds sustained during the Darkness and... wasn't able to pull through.

[It was his fault, he should have been faster, quicker, been ready for it, able to stop things from happening somehow. Who knew if these words would come true soon enough?

The feed clicks off]

[symmachy]

[a short laugh]

That pretty much sums it up.

[the_dead_pool2]

[Shrugs]

I've got a way with words.

[symmachy]

Clearly.

What's your name?

[the_dead_pool2]

I go by Deadpool, not my birth name.

[symmachy]

I would assume as much.

[the_dead_pool2]

She'll be back, she has to return. There is a whole crapload of ice cream that will go bad otherwise.

[symmachy]

[a small smile]

I'm sure someone else would be willing to share it with you.

[the_dead_pool2]

[He just gives her a bit of a look]

It ain'tmine. She will be back for the ice cream.

[And that was that]

[symmachy]

[she pauses. quietly:]

I'm sure she will.

[the_dead_pool2]

[Glad you agree]

So whats your name, anyway?

[symmachy]

Scathach.

[the_dead_pool2]

Scotch? Your name is Scotch?

[symmachy]

It is, and so am I. Problem?

[the_dead_pool2]

[A pause]

Naw, its pretty badass. Scotch is a pretty cool like bounty hunter slash vigilante type deal, thats how I would roll with it.

[symmachy]

[she... actually looks pleased by this]

I'll take the latter. Bounties aren't really my area of expertise.

[the_dead_pool2]

[That is very interesting.]

I'll keep that in mind, I've gone all over that scene.

[And had no success. Well there was that time with the... shut up brain.]

[symmachy]

And how did it turn out for you?

[the_dead_pool2]

Varied success.

[Varied being a new word for failure? Yeah, well at least we got the evil us off our back... wow that was a mouthful. I'll say. ]

But, over all not too bad here.

[symmachy]

Then maybe I'll take another whack at it.

[the_dead_pool2]

Good stuff, guess I'll see you around then?

[symmachy]

Probably.

[the_dead_pool2]

Cool, lates.
