Night 205
[It's funny, right?]
no subject
thanks
and sorry to drop some bad news on your proverbial doorstep first thing but nat died while you were out
no subject
She's one of the ones you fancied a bit, right?
Even lovelier. A stab of guilt goes through John's stomach, and it takes him a moment to reply.]
I'm sorry to hear that. Are you and Clint all right? As all right as you can be.
no subject
clint is well
hes clint
you know how he is
but were still going and lucky is alive
[Which is about as much as he can ask, he feels, apart from a sense of 'hurry and come back.' But it took Watson about two days; he can wait longer.]
so are you alright
clint told me what happened but i mean right now
i dont know what you lost and the admin seems vicious about it lately
no subject
[Are you going to tell him you think this is a dream? Mary asks.
John's not planning to. Even if Davesprite isn't real, he's still a kid and upsetting fake kids bothers him as much as upsetting real ones.]
He's got a chip on his shoulder about that. I'd rather not.
[Mary shrugs and glances away.]
I'm better than I have been in a bit, I suppose. I've got two eyes.
[Because in this dream, he used to be a cyclops.]
no subject
what is with you and terrible injuries
first the bucky thing now this
when did it happen
was it the maze or the thing with andromeda and the glowy paths the other day or something else
no subject
Something else. I'd rather not talk about it.
[John, he's going to ask if you don't say more than that.]
It wasn't to do with Bucky.
no subject
ok great but i wasnt going to assume it was him
not necessarily
you know i made up with him right
im not saying you have to tell me either but im not going to start a witch hunt if you do
i know i screwed up that time
no subject
Did I miss anything apart from what you've already told me while I was out?
no subject
alfie is a liar who took advantage of someone not being able to disobey orders to steal his stuff
so id say dont trust him
and we found a food source out east that can be stayed in overnight
also sherlock seemed to think telling people its totes safe to commit suicide here because you wont die permanently was a good idea
so you might want to tell him what the actual fuck
no subject
You've always known the sort of man he is.
But John can usually just glance the other direction and not have to deal with it. Plus, Alfie's a 1920's London gangster. He's tropes... not a real person, just a dream.]
I'll look into it. Appreciate the heads up on... all that.
[Christ, John. Say something else.]
Good job finding food. Is it anything good, or should we still be running food to you lot?
no subject
theyre fine
they dont restock if you stay there but theres stuff to eat and drink
now do you want to tell me why you sound so detached about the rest
did you lose your emotions or what
no subject
You need to tell him something or he'll worry. Tell him you've gained a few years. He's a time-traveler.]
Sorry. I've got about five years of memories running around my head that weren't there a few days ago.
no subject
ok well
youre not the first whos mentioned that kind of thing to me
[And five years is a lot more than the few months Tifa mentioned to him.]
how did it go
did you have any memories or signs of being here while you were there
did it end ok
[And regardless of whatever happened to Tifa, he has to check here too.]
no subject
[And he's leaving it at that for the moment.]
I remember Steph said this happened to her. Do you know of anyone else apart from Sherlock and me?
no subject
please dont ignore the other question because im asking for good reason
no subject
no subject
but i want some measure of if coming here affected literally anything at all in your universe
even if you didnt remember or look changed i cant know if it made things go bad or what unless you tell me
and in my world that kind of thing could end up with me and jade dead if we go back
theres also the fact i consider you a friend but what does that matter after five years away right
[It's more of a snap than he might like, but the talk of timelines is a stressful topic. It wouldn't be the first time a friend lost interest because of things beyond his control, either; it's the kind of thing that gives a guy trust issues.]
no subject
It's like nothing here happened. Things are bad right now. That's nothing to do with this place, though.
no subject

i am just rolling in these huge heaps of knowledge
its a goddamn miracle i didnt drown under the deluge
watson youre a doctor about how many tv specials are we talking for this medical marvel going on
no subject
no subject
or maybe i skipped right past it now that he finally looks like the person he is
but im glad weve established you still dont care enough to tell me
heres to friendship right
so how about a question do you even care that natasha is dead or is it just one more piece of forever ago you cant be assed to give a shit about
no subject
Just tell him you're sorry. Don't tell him she's not real. Just lie.]
I'm sorry. It's not the years. It's just not anything I want to talk about. My wife's dead, and Sherlock was about to die for real. I haven't talked to Sherlock in months apart from recently. It's that kind of bad.
Yes, I'm sorry about Nat. I'm sorry about a hell of a lot of things.
