002 ♞ [ video ] → red tape to keep the truth confined

[oxidantshappen]

[ Good evening Abax. Again. It seems a certain someone has a penchant for making things late at night, out of insomnia rather than anything else. While Erik has been quiet on the activity front, that doesn't mean he hasn't been paying attention to what's been going on, which unfortunately has turned him into more of a recluse than anything else.

You been in the eggnog?

[oxidantshappen]

Eggnog's weak compared to the alcohol I've found so no.

[ He's almost certain you're being sarcastic so Erik returns the same tone back. ]

[decanonized]

[That's a pretty good default.]

But still some messed up drunk-dial going down right now.

[oxidantshappen]

[ Seriously, what is with you people and modern terminology. ]

I can assure you I'm certainly not drunk dialing anyone right now.

Some kinda holiday's fueled psychotic episode?

[oxidantshappen]

Certainly not mine, I assure you. I'm far from psychotic.

[decanonized]

Dude, you're talking about people hugging it out.

[oxidantshappen]

Talking is not the same as hugging. I'd assume Erik taught you as much.

[decanonized]

Last I heard you were claiming that one, too.

[oxidantshappen]

Certainly not. [ Erik takes a tone of mock offense, because you thought he was serious? ]

Mockery does not suggest I'd offer anyone a hug.

[decanonized]

[He opens his mouth, an intake of air for the come back- then stops. Goddamn it. It could still be Magneto. Instead he just grumbles.]

I need a fucking Magic Eight Ball for this shit already.

[oxidantshappen]

[ Erik's really starting to wonder how his counterpart handles the man when all he wants to do is give him a rather violent shake. ]

It's not that hard for you to be straightforward.

[decanonized]

Gee, lucky me.
