[The device clicks on as she is about to make a recording, but before her first word is out she makes a startled gasp instead.]

Is someone there?

...Hello?

[Another gasp and her voice trembles.] When did that get there?

[But she already knows it's part of the curse even if she'd like to think otherwise, so she just stares. What else can she do? But how long can she do it?]


(OOC: Backdated to the Don't Blink curse. And I'm going to bed and then work which I should really not use for tagging!, so I might not respond until tomorrow evening, but I will respond!)

Whatever these things are, they're too fast and they're too powerful. I'm more use keeping Neil and Todd safe.

[deadly_legacy]

It's hard when you want to be able to save everyone, but it's too much.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

Exactly.

[deadly_legacy]

[Quiet for a moment.] This soda is very good.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

[He grins]

I like Doctor Pepper better but Mountain Dew's got more caffeine.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

I guess I should expect to be hyper then. Hopefully my brother will be so happy you saved me that he won't mind that. [Teasing.]

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

I'm introducing you to a crucial part of being a teenager, Euphie. Caffeine endurance is like 'how to be an adult 101'.

[deadly_legacy]

[Giggles a little. This is a nice change from tensely staring at statuary.] I never knew. I could have been in so much trouble.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

I should get a medal.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

I could present it to you in a formal ceremony. I have experience with that.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

[Pause]

Really?

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

Yes. It's not a very useful skill here though.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

What do you do back home?

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

[Ignores that it should really be past tense.] I'm a princess of the Holy Britannian empire and the sub viceroy of Area 11, more commonly called Japan.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

[Silence for a minute]

[Then a squeak]

My boyfriend's technically an Emperor.

[Smooth]

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

[Giggles] I'm just Euphie here.

You have a boyfriend? How is he only technically an emperor?

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

You sure? I mean I don't want to...that is I'm pretty sure if you had someone bouncing skinny Jewish guys for being impolite I'd totally have been bounced by now.

[Billy smiles a little at the thought of Teddy]

Yeah, he's back home. And I guess like since he's the last living son of the Skrull Empire, that would make him Emperor. If he ever when back to what's left of Skrullos. Or...whatever the Skrulls are using as a homebase.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

[Smiles warmly.] I'm sure. And my knight isn't here anymore. [Le sigh] Though "bouncing" is not really one of his duties and if it were I wouldn't want it to happen to you.

Skrullos? I've never heard of it. Then again, most people here aren't familiar with Britannia either. It was partially destroyed though?

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

Yep. He was sort of taken away when he was a baby, so he doesn't even remember it.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

Has he never known his family then?

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

[Billy shakes his head]

I mean he had a great mom who raised him.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

That's good. [And really just as foreign to her as having no family at all.]

I'm sorry you're separated from him.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

Thanks, Euphie.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

Has he ever been in the city?

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

Oh, yeah.
