no, haven't seen him today
he's not with you?

[selfimage]

I'd not be asking otherwise.
Tell me he left a juicy hint to his whereabouts, to the least.

[stagethreeclinger]

wait wait, he said something about going to help gene out a while back
why, did something happen?

[selfimage]

No, nothing.
Just certain he's the culprit for a few missing explosives that I'm looking for, is all.

[stagethreeclinger]

oooh yeah probably, hes a punkass like that
need something blown up? i can swing by

[selfimage]

Sadly the point of climatic intention has passed.
Where are you, exactly?

[stagethreeclinger]

on my way to the gate with some of jay’s lackeys
fyi i might end up in another city when this circus clears out so
dont wait up for me

[selfimage]

You're kidding.

[stagethreeclinger]

uh
maybe?
about which part

[selfimage]

Being stuck somewhere!

[stagethreeclinger]

ill find my way back
they're low on dumbasses trying to be heroes everywhere else anyway

[ honestly, Loki doesn't seem like the type to care at all, does he? and he doesn't, really.

Roy can go where he wants.

it's Jason lack of emotional support post-death that he's concerning himself with. ]

Just don't be long.

[ that's why it probably reads a little off. ]

[stagethreeclinger]

[ it does seem a little odd. he hasn't known the guy long (and "know" is pushing it), but alarm isn't something roy would think to associate with loki. how this text started, the upset at roy's possible absence, the don't be long.

this isn't the first time he's split from jason on a battlefield, the both of them usually pretty confident in each others' abilities to handle themselves, so what's up with the concern? ]

whhyyyy do i not want to be long?
is there an after party at scifi-IHOP i'll miss?

[selfimage]

[ no, Loki usually doesn't care that much about leaving Jason alone on the battlefield, either. Jason's good at taking care of himself in the way that he's got decent battle prowess (most people Loki would find himself attracted to do, anyway), but poor self-preservation skills. while it normally hasn't been an issue, he's finding this out the hard way. ]

Yes, let's just go with that.
You wouldn't want to be late, you'll miss the fun flavored syrups for the party pancakes.

1/2

[stagethreeclinger]

[ "let's just go with that", UH. so loki doesn't want to tell him what he doesn't want to miss, but there's something he doesn't want to miss and it's alarming and jason related and possibly explosives related, not cool. but he doesn't want to freak out on him yet, so roy's taking it in stride, for the moment. it's okay, snags happen, we'll just adjust the plan. ]

i cant believe i almost missed party pancakes
close one
yeah ok change of plans
im dropping the gang-kids off at the gate and coming back

2/2

[stagethreeclinger]

[ then, after shooting his own series of distressed texts at jason that go unanswered, he's coming back to this conversation, dropping the flippant party pancake tone completely. ]

loki
where the fuck is jason

[selfimage]

[ may as well fess up ]

In a hospital stuck for 24 hrs in a medi-unit after making a very stupid decision.

[stagethreeclinger]

buddy
i really need you to start with that next time
24 hr medi-unit as in
curing a bad case of dead medi-unit??
are you with him?

[selfimage]

I didn't know.

[ it even comes across snappish over text, daring Roy to follow up. ]

I'm close.

[stagethreeclinger]

[ yeah ok fair, he's not going test the grieving husband right now. ]

ok, my bad
look im on my way
i can stop by the house, you need me to pick anything up?
clothes, food, jug of vodka?

[ for loki, not for him. ]

[selfimage]

No, it's not needed.
But I may need you to hold me back so I don't pummel him, myself.

[stagethreeclinger]

sure, bud
maybe wait til he's upright and breathing again before launching in on the beat down
do you know how it happened yet?

[selfimage]

No, not yet.

[ surprisingly short. ]

[stagethreeclinger]

you ask gene about it?

[selfimage]

You found out.
Yes, I am.
