[oorah]

thanks for visiting

[ the fever has worn off as has most of the irritability and weirdness. will asking him if jess was going to visit -- then seeing her shadow in the door after faith had left -- he's realizing it wasn't a fever dream at all. she had come to check on him even after serial killer basket topia. it deserves acknowledgment. ]

[underachievement]

[ actually, not acknowledging it was more what she was going for. ]

If you can call it that.

[oorah]

[ that's usually where their ideologies differ yeah ]

what would you call it?

[underachievement]

Literal guilt trip?

[oorah]

you always have an answer for everything, don't you? [ he knows he shouldn't find it as endearing as he does ]

[underachievement]

No. [ and even if she does, it's not always the right one. like, say, the time he died and came back as a kilbot. ]

[oorah]

i didn't mean it in a bad way. [ but he always says/does the wrong thing where jess is concerned, doesn't he? ]

[underachievement]

[ she won't ask what the good way entails ]

Are you out of the clinic yet?

[oorah]

yeah. is that you asking how i am? [ now he's legitimately teasing. ]

[underachievement]

That's me trying to establish a baseline for your
You

[oorah]

my me
alright
how do we do that?

[underachievement]

Here I thought you'd want to get right to campaigning.

[oorah]

maybe i'm starting with you. [ like she votes! he knows so much better. ]

[underachievement]

A fight you can't win. Your favorite.

[oorah]

and you think you don't know my baseline

[underachievement]

So that brings the total to combat instructor, patrolman, full time father figure and now political candidate.
Am I missing anything?

[oorah]

you forgot one [ it's been weighing on him, especially since they ran into each other on patrol. they're from the same world, supposedly, but they don't know each other. he hadn't known of her until david had come here and filled him in. but does she know who he is? that he's the punisher? ]

dog whisperer

[underachievement]

Right. [ yet another impressionable dumb soul to look up to him. whatever could he be trying to make up for. yeah she's getting there. ]
Well seeing as there's no voting age and you could actually win, I need to find out if that injection did anything besides knock you on your ass.

[oorah]

wouldn't mind knowing myself. but i can't exactly go knock on purpledick's door

[underachievement]

[ good god the names. can't fault them for wasting zero effort on him though. he's worth even less. ]

They carted him out for the meeting.
Knowing them they'll toss up some other bullshit for compulsory attendance soon.

[oorah]

fair enough. i'll keep my eye out. not like he's hard to spot.

[underachievement]

Or you ever sleep.

[oorah]

OK pot
kettle out
unless you have another order for me

[underachievement]

[ it's a flawed idiom. she's not trying to carry the whole kitchen on her back... er, lid. ]

Sorry, you'll have to hit up one of your other fixes.

[oorah]

i don't have other fixes

at least, not ones i take orders from. [ gayyyyyyyyyyyy ]
