[ Getting a smile, however small, out of the cranky old man is oddly gratifying. He tucks that in his back pocket to remember for later. ]

Plenty do. I'm just not usually in a position to spend the time on it.

[ Because while dreams last longer under than they do topside, he's not really concerned about scrambling projections. And if he's being shot at topside, he rarely wants to waste time and is more focused on getting the fuck out so law enforcement didn't show up and muddy the waters even more. ]

I'll cross mine for you, too. Can't say I gave them the karmic retribution they earned, but anything is better than nothing, yeah?

[Why are you, a man, keeping the smile of another man tucked away in your pocket, Arthur?]

Normally I'd agree, but these ones deserve more than just "better than nothing".

I think they deserve the proper time and effort. Wouldn't want to half ass this.

[But he appreciates the support in his homicidal designs.]

[pointedlook]

[ Maybe he likes knowing how people tick, wow!!! ]

Ah, that sort. Alright, I suppose that's different. Gotta make sure you whole ass it.

[ Look, some people just need to be put 6 feet under. ]

[Okay okay, Cooper can relate. Useful for gaslighting, gatekeeping and girlbossing others.]

Whole ass it, huh? That what the kids call it these days?

[Even though Arthur is younger than him, he's technically from the past sooo... this time stuff is going to do his head in one of these days.]

[pointedlook]

Dunno, probably. Social media lingo is not really my area.

[ Trawling for information on those platforms—well, that's a different story. ] Besides, what counts as "these days", with so many different time periods converging? Are we going with an average?

[vocalistyodels]

Ain't heard of no social media before.

[What the hell is social media? Media that's social? Isn't that technically all media? Media is meant to be viewed by and listened to by people, so... social? Fuck if he knows.]

I'm gonna need a bottle of whiskey before we get into any of that timey whimey shit.

[pointedlook]

Y'know what? You're probably better off without it.

[ Kinda. He did have a whole ... nuclear apocalypse happen in his lifetime. Not a fair trade off by any stretch. But, it's not like he's missing a whole lot. ]

Unearthed a couple bottles of Maker's Mark that were unopened, if you're game for drunken philosophy.

[vocalistyodels]

[Definitely better off.]

Ha! Now that's my kinda philosophy.

[If it'll be enough to get him truly drunk is another thing, but fuck it. A good stiff drink in this hell hole sounds like a good ol' time.]

[pointedlook]

How about it then? There's an old theater nearby; we can keep our morose dramatics in an appropriate venue.

[ Let's get drunk, old man. ]

[vocalistyodels]

Long as you don't start quoting Shakespeare or something.

[No dramatic reenactments of Hamlet okay.]

Heading your way.

[Let's get drunk.]

🎀

[pointedlook]

Pinky promise I won't.

[ But what about Midsummer's Night Dream? ]

See you soon.
